Can any one help? Thx a lot

Why dont you use flashtool to flash another kernel. Other kernels already have recoveries installed with them and you will be able to flash better ROMs but only if you have unlocked the bootloader in the end. Did you unlock it or is it just rooted?
btw you have to install busybox aswell.
read this thread very carefully and beware which package you download.
I couldn't unlock cuz I got bricked while trying. I need to install recovery with my locked bootloader. Is that possible? Gonna check ur link now

Hi, how did you fixed it?? I have the same problem...
LOL.......you cant have an x8 with 9w.. cause it was released in 2010!!
are you sure you putted the 3 files?
Xrecovery.tar
busybox
chargemon
maybe you can downgrade it first dude..
then you can restore your file if you've backup files..
root your phone with SOC or Flashtool
click the padlock icon
afterthat install the root explorer by file manager
OR
copy paste these files (busybox,chargemon, xrecovery.tar) on system\bin after install rootexplorer

Something strange has happened. Today I flashed the topogigi GB rom. Before flashing, I updated CWM to the latest version (5.0.2.0?) and ran Backtoext3 even though I was already on ext3. The topogigi rom was corrupt (my fault) and wouldn't load. Also all my backups became unavailable in CWM. I ended up flashing an old Nightly which was my only choice. From there I rolled back CWM to the previous release (5.0.1.6?) and flashed an uncorrupted copy of the topogigi rom. Everything worked perfect.
A few hours later, I decided to try to restore my stock 10d backup. That was quite buggy. Among other things, my sim card was locked for a long while and then coming back. I restored my topogigi rom again, and it seems ok, except I have lost root.
What to do now? I wonder if the phone is unstable. Also I need root!
Search for the Superuser thread by ChainsDD, that'll sort out your root.

If you installed a stock rom using smart flash then that procedure makes us the slave user again since that's the company procedure to restore the device !!
Don't worry again root your device using Superone Click !!!!

First you keep on trying different tricks and traps if none of those worked then use Smart Flash Tool and install the stock rom !!!
After you are done with full installation root your phone and install the CWM recovery !!!
I am sure this will work !!

Yes, as the bootloader isn't locked, any ROM can be rooted. If there is no exploit then NVFlash a recovery and root via that.

Sorry, but this is insane. If you can boot into CWM, then just flash this: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
Flashing a ROM (which already has root) then using SuperOneClick (redundant at this point)..?
Ya I am surprised how can one enter CWM when he is not a SuperUser !!!
But maybe that's why he titled as " Strange behaviour " !!!

Hello, I am trying to root the Stock 2.2-update1 ROM,
Now, I've just got a couple of questions, I have successfully rooted it previously and flashed xRecovery
BUT
Since rebooting, I have lost root? if I try a remount, I get "remount failed: Operation not permitted"
I can still successfully boot to xRecovery, but I can't seem to get it to root properly?
And when I have tried to flash a custom ROM, the phone is bricked and I must restore using SPC "repair your phone".
I lose ALL Access - recovery, and booting. it just sits at the SPL - " Sony Ericsson " Screen.
and help on flashing recovery and custom rom's on the x8 would be good, I have successfully rooted several Samsung and HTC phones running GB and ICS but this Xperia X8 has baffled me completely

use flashtool to root your stock rom, there is a option on it. after that using root explorer.apk to move xrecovery files to system/bin. that's all xrecovery is ready for use.

Hi,
I am trying to figure out whether my Samsung Note N7000 is rooted or not.
I thought I have rooted it as there is a superuser app on the phone. But when I run a root checker app it tells me my phone is not rooted, I tried running rooted apps but not able to so I guess the phone is not rooted.
So I tried rooting my phone again using Superoneclick 2.3.1.0 but the program tells me my phone has ALREADY BEEN ROOTED and whether I want to proceed or not. I select to proceed but Superoneclick hangs at "Shell rooting device... - Step #7" "WaitForDevice"
Both the USB debugging and unknown sources boxes are ticked, SD card unmounted.
Can anyone help ?
I'm also not sure if your phone rooted or not..

My sp stuck in boot loop
Hi guys, Please HELP!!!
So I rooted my phone a while ago and it was all fine until yesterday, when I changed the boot animation, stupidly, I forgot to rename the original boot animation zip so when I downloaded the new one, They both had the same name. Not realising this I went ahead and restarted the phone and I'm guessing the system did not know which one to use and is stuck on bootloop, is there any way out?

Heya there!
Did you make a backup of your ROM in a recovery? If so, boot into recovery and restore your backup.
If you don't have a recovery and didn't make a backup,the only way out would be to flash stock ftf file for your specific phone (C530X, area/region) using Flashtool by androxyde. THIS METHOD WILL WIPE EVERYTHING except your external SD

Hi, if they both had the same name then the system would've simply overwritten the old one and put the new one in. If you have a backup of your rom you could extract the original bootanimation and use a flash-able zip with your original boot animation. Or just download another bootanimation that works with sp and then just flash it.
Hi,
I own a C5303 and running on firmware 12.1.A.1.205. I would like to know what are the tools I need to root. I am aware I need to unlock the bootloader as I have some experience rooting other android devices. I have downloaded flash tool but I couldnt somehow get into the bootloader. I would like some suggestions for what firmware to use and the process to root. I did not get the latest OTA update(12.1.A.1.207) from my carrier (Virgin Mobile Australia). I have also experienced the annoying screen brightness changing from time to time.
check first that unlocking the BL is possible
Do this by going into the stock dialler entering *#*#7378423#*#* a window will open
Proceed to press service info then configuration and you can find out under rooting status if it says no your BL cannot yet be unlocked (like me). if yes you can unlock
Phone must be powered down to continue
To enter fast boot to unlock the BL press volume up then while holding it plug in the USB into your device if done correctly greenlight will appear ( do this when flash tool tells you to connect your device.) Process will ERASE internal storage so backup and DRM keys will be lost so backup those as well think there's a thread for that somewhere. Good luck phone will reboot afterwards
Hey, I want to change my GApps package which has been giving me FC's since day one. It's been a month now, so I don't wanna wipe and start anew. Any Ideas??[emoji4]
I'm afraid the only way that I know of is to wipe and start over.

Yes.
Something not mentioned in the thread was if you use flashtool to unlock your boot loader (by pressing "BLU", " Unlock Boot loader" then enter the unlock code) it is much easier and will automatically backup ur DRM keys so if you want to relock (BLU, Unlock Boot loader, there will be a new button saying relock boot loader and the unlock code will still be entered) the DRM keys will be automatically restored.
This is for some versions of Flashtool by Androxyde... Not sure if its for all.
