Make sure you have USB Debugging turned on and unmount the sd card.
do you have usb debugging enabled?
btw do you have DroidExplorer installed on your PC?

if u root with superoneclick,it will install busybox and chargemon automatically while rooting it
then install xrecovery
are you sure you have the latest version of superoneclick? i rooted my phone a year ago even then my version looked more advances than this. btw this should be in the Q&A section not the general
do you have a exploit list on your soc? if you do choose psneuter and click root! thats the way I did it!
sorry if my english is bad

First of all thanks to kokbiel for discovering this!
Do not try this if you have an unlocked bootloader or if you dont know what your doing! I'm not resposible if you break or brick your phone!
If you're allready on a rooted .181 or .184 and OTA update is available for you just update your firmware. If there is no OTA update available for your customazation version follow these instuctions:
- flash back to 3.0.A.2.181 generic with the flashtool
- Use Gingerbreak or Superoneclick to root your device
- Update your Arc using a OTA(over the air) update(Go to settings->About phone->Software update)
- Enjoy your rooted 2.3.3!!!
Update 1: it seems that the OTA update is not working if you did any modifications to/deleted system files so it's adviced to always flash the .181 firmware provided in this post
Update 2: if you have any battery problems after flashing the .181 firmware(if it's only showing 1%) removing the battery for a few minutes should solve this
Update 3: thanks to ricstc we now have a video tutorial on how to follow these instructions
Update 4: if you want you can keep your user data by unchecking the whipe user data in the flashtool while selecting the correct ftf file. this will cause a lot of error message's on 2.3.2 but just click them away and continue the procedure, after upgrading again to 2.3.3 the error message's will be gone!
Update 5: this methode still works with the new 4.0.A.2.368 firmware! if you don't get the OTA update with the provided .181 firmware try flashing the .184 firmware and try the OTA again
At the moment there are a lot of battery problems when you downgrade from 2.3.4 if you have any problem follow this or this thread for a possible solution
In general how long did it take for Gingerbreak / superoneclick to do its stuff.
iv been waiting about 5-10 minutes with nothing. :S

finds the update, but then I can not update via OTA, the phone says to me - "could not connect to network"

i have no choice! using GOOD for enterprise on my Arc, and it only allows usage if its on an unrooted device.
thinking of doing the root on 2.3.2 first, OTA update as you mentioned, then while still rooted, remove some of those unused SE Apps to free up ram, before unrooting and installing GOOD for enterprise.
Root access with firmware on first post. global customized didnt work for me. :S

Just flashed the firmware you provided on the OP then installed gingerbreak ran it, and it worked with-in 2 minutes. i did have the USB cable plugged-in, with USB debugging on.
Apart from that, it was a fresh install.

Its booting up now, i will let you know if it has or applied it or not.
Yes .145 with root access and titanium backup working fine,
Had to install busybox from the market, but working never the less.
Hi everybody, this is my first post here, I am very happy to be here, joining in this community.
When I tried to update the busybox binary to the latest version 1.19X (FroyoPro 2.5) I hard bricked my phone.
The Rom loads up but after that my phone doesn't work (an endless number of error messages appears).
I cannot even start the phone in ClockworkMod or Xrecovery.
I tried to recover my phone using SEUS and FlashTool but (If I didn't do anything wrong) it still doesn't work.
Now I don't know what to do. The phone is still under warranty but it is going to expire shortly, if I ask them to fix my phone, they surely won't accept my SE because it's clear I rooted it.
Can you suggest me any solutions - a good solution would also be to make it dead - maybe with a strong power supply...
Thanks in advance.

Hi. It's my first time here to post too. Same thing happened to my w8. Installed busybox 1.19.3 (wanted to try supercharger), but when I rebooted I got stuck in the SE logo. Seus seems to not work anymore. Have you tried PCC? I simply flashed back to stock rom using flashtool myself. Try double checking. First time i tried i didn't install the drivers from flashtool's folder.

I think the first time I used FlashTool I didn't install the drivers. :banghead:
Today I'll try this way.
It worked, the first time I didn't install the drivers before using FlashTool.
Thank you very much.
Eeem, just reflash it with seus or if u can unlock bootloader then do that and flash custom kernel cuz custom kernels have cwm recovery built in what means u can flash many many fine roms. Hit thanx if i helped.
glad that worked.
are you still gonna update busybox? if you are pls let me know how you did it successfully without bricking! thank!

Use custom kernels for your device.
Okay, so basically, I get this error when I try and root my X8 through X8Toolbox.Final
I've rooted my phone through this toolbox already and this problem only started occurring after I re-flashed back to stock with PC Companion.
This is the error:
processing command . . .
waiting for device . . .
running psneuter exploit on device . . .
Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/psneuter: No such file or directory

i would recommend flashtool too, 'cause you can do anything with it, root, flash recovery, unlock bootloader, aso
works for me without any problems
Okay, thanks for the help I guess.
I just found it a whole lot quicker and more convenient to be able to root and all that through the toolbox.
it's just weird since I've never had issues with this toolbox before

basically the time when you rooted your phone something went wrong and it is currently causing you this issue that you are having right now.
the current issue you are having right now is common.
its like a hit or miss thing.
-root with no bugs
-root with bugs <------- thats where you are now
-no root
just root it again and it will most likely solve the issue.
It seems you will have to restore your phone with SUS.
Then root using this script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
I had the same problem than you, it was caused by using a bad root script. I fixed it restoring and using the script i from the thread i posted, it does not include a recovery, remember to install it later.
may be is that point.. every time i root still not good.....
then i try the other bro that root , my device is root ^^
