"Waiting for device" - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all
i have a problem with rooting.!
my phone bricked and i flashed 2.1.1.c.0.0.ftf
but now when i wanna root it with superoneclick or x8toolbox it stops at "waiting for device"
help me please.!

1) run superoneclick.exe as administrator
2) it is normal for it not to respond at first..try more times
3) if that doesn't work check if usb debugging is on?

enable usb debugging in settings

dont forget to install the drivers

usb debugging is enable

i already have them.!

Enable USB-Debugging and connect your phone to the computer (do NOT enable USB-Storage mode - connect in Charging mode!)
Start Flashtool and root with Flashtool ... for me this always worked more reliably than with SuperOneClick.

Same mine before,but what i do is take out the memory & just like a miracle i dont know why its work,i manage to root my phone without a sdcard,maybe because my sdcard has poor quality...

try remove battery b4 u plug it to comp..
its always works 4 me..
P.S. hold the back button until flashtool recognize it..
may be 15 secs is enough..
more than that,,repeat the procedures..
first time rooting my X8,,i got the same problem..
wih u luck

try to change User Account Control in windows ( disable it ) , restart windows and try again

root using flash tools is more easy

OK, try one of these things:
1.Run superoneclick/x8toolbox as admin on your PC
2.Use flashtool to root your device
3.if i donsnt respond, just wait for a few minutes, OR keep trying to run the programm
You will get their eventually

finally solved.!
the problem was with the drivers.!
i don't know why but i could do everything with drivers except rooting.!
thanks for replies.!

this is what finally worked for me, very easy.

Flash stock, root again, install recovery, full wipe and then install rom.
have you tried z4root ?
All Android apps that can give you root donĀ“t work with our X8.
Flash 2.1 with Flashtool again, then flash the new baseband, and after that try to root again.
Enable USB Debugging and unknown sources on your phone, the click the root button (without having the phone connected to the PC).
Then, let SOC start the services, and plug your phone when it says "waiting for device, and then, after a few seconds, you should have root.
After the rooting process, let the program run the root-test, and then, reboot your phone.
This should do the trick.

Flashtool: device not recognized

Hi, I'm tryin to instal nAa GB kernel, but flashtool doesn't recognize my phone... If I plug the USB it says "device connected with USB debugging off", but it doesn't say the model and in fact when I try to flash it doesn't work. I've installed gordon gates and all the drivers, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
what exactly did you do? write all the steps
Ok I think it works now, I needed to switch to MSC mode Thanks anyway

+ drivers installed,lpl
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
+ holding back button while connecting USB
Is it important how did i send this?

My phone refuses to root. I've updated to the lasted version, turned on USB debugging and enabled unknown sources

Install PC companion and connect at least once time the device with that
Download this superoneclick: http://
www.mediafire.com/?n7gd7ju2c5rbkt9
connect phone to pc on charge mode
if you have windows xp you must install manually the x8 drivers(Google
it)
If have windows 7 no need..
when the root is done reboot the phone

Install gordon gates driver just to be sure that they are installed properly
OR
Repair your phone through PC companion or Sony Update Service
And try again the whole steps.
If they don't work try some older versions of SuperOneClick.

It's really hard to help someone who REFUSES to read..
If you don't even know what gordon gate drivers are, this is proof that you have read nothing at all..
My advise is to forget rooting your phone and return to default SE software..
You cannot be helped without doing the minimum of work yourself.. XDA and it's members are not here to babysit you.
Just Try with another pc. I had faced that problem also

Cant root, connect to Odin

Hi Guys,
i got a huge Problem with my GT - 9305.
I already saved my IMEI etc and now i want to root my phone but I got a problem.
I done everything said in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32235061&postcount=1 BUT:
Everytime I go in downloade mode and want to start Odin this happens ( see attachments )
My Phone wont reboot while I press start, it still says: Downloading ... and nothing happens.
I have installed latest Kies + Drivers, sometimes Kies find the GT-9305 and sometimes not, then i have to reinstall the Drivers.
I have selected MTP + ADB
Android 4.1.1
XXALI7
Buildnummer: JRO03C.I9305XXALI7
make sure Kies is not running when you do it
Root your phone with One Click
Hey, I've got an unlocked i9305 with Optus in Australia.
I rooted my i9305 weeks ago, just a simple software with one click, nothing to do with Odin.
I don't know why there's hardly such tool in the xda and many english-based forum, try this link:
http://sj.qq.com/root [Probably you don't understand Chinese language, google-translate the webpage]
Things you need to do:
1.A Windows-based PC
2.Download the tool from the link
3.Have kies installed (Or you can install the phone driver alone)
4.Enable usb-debug in development option on your i9305
5.BACK UP!
6.Connect your phone with a cable to your PC
7.Use the tool, ONE Click, root your phone successfully
8.After rooting you'll probably find a superuser app in Chinese, don't worry
9.Go downloading the Superuser app in play-store, it can help you to switch to the new SU app.
10.Done!

[Q] Bricked phone help

Hello,
After I've failed to find solution, I've decided to make a new thread. My phone is bricked, meaning that I'm stuck on Avatar ROM. When I try to use CWM manager, it requires me to install recovery mode, which was somehow deleted. Problem is, neither mobile connection nor wifi are working.
And I can't access recovery mode by holding buttons neither.
When I got in trouble before, I used Smartflash tool to flash the original rom. This time my laptop doest recognize phone connected through USB any time. After trying to find a solution for 2 weeks I gave up and asked you guys for help.
I have tried everything: Drivers, N/W upgrade, etc... my laptop just doesnt react when I plug in USB at all.
I almost went crazy after trying every possible driver and still nothing. Once after installing drivers and connecting phone withouth battery in N/W mode, it looked like windows recognized phone but then it said "device unpluged", and since then I cant even get this message again.
Please help! Thanks!
did you try All-In-One Toolkit ...( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737 ) first go on step 4 ( but you must have some rom on your ext sd card ) and of courese apx drivers installed on your pc
the O2X cannot be bricked! Try AIO Toolkit

I've heard about this, I treid it as well. But my main problem is USB connection between PC and phone. I have win7 64bit. Are there any other drivers I should install besides the oficiall LG driver ?
You need apx driver to nvflash, but aio leaves full instructions along the process of both nvflash and smartflash. Ohh, USB 2 are preferable so maybe you need another computer and never use hubs....
