Can't root Xperia X8 - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm trying root my Xperia X8 following this method- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046605
My phone refuses to root. I've updated to the lasted version, turned on USB debugging and enabled unknown sources
I've attached a screen shot of superoneclick. Please Help!

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

maybe you forget to install all drivers dude!
gordon's gate, X8 driver, driver in the flashtool folder?
Try just connecting your phone once normally with p.c and pc companion then the drivers might get installed..

copy paste your X8 drivers on C\Program files AND windows\system32\drivers
Just open up your flsh tool, don't do any thing on flash tool.. nw switch of you're phone and connect it in flash mod by holding the bake button and see if the drivers get installed..

U said it does not connect, have you tried connecting it normaly with p.c with debugging on letting the drivers get installed first..
1. Install the PC Companion from SE.
2. Connect Phone to PC also PC Compannion asked for, let Windows find all Drivers.
3. Switch USB-Debugging on, one or two more Drivers will be found.
4. Start SuperOneClick, click on "root". Wait ~10 Seconds to finish.
5. Reboot.

okay...
if you're still confuse, downgrade your phone!
its last option
downgrade into 2.1 - download this file from files crop X8 E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf
root your phone by flash tool..
then install xrecovery by clicking cross icon on flashtool
OR
download this file (password=cintaindonesia) and extract in your SDcard
after that copy paste three files(busybox, chargemon, xrecovery.tar) in system\bin
and you will get xrecovery
after that
unlock bootloader using flashtool OR s1tool
Flash the latest kernel
backup
factory reset, wipe data, etc
Flash ROM
done!

Super Combo problem in my xperia x8.....

Well this is my first post here.
To be very short this is not a totally new problem. This is a combination of many problems that has made me totally helpless.
I had rooted my device using x8toolbox beta4, and installed a Gingerxperia V21 custom ROM.
After that i tried unlocking the bootloader, but flashtools continuously kept saying that my device was in MTP mode and strange enough there was no option in my phone's settings to change it.
So I went back to x8toolbox planning on installing the stock ROM back, when i saw busybox installer within.
I installed busybox 1.19.0 and then i asked x8toolbox to check the digitizer on my phone, AND THERE IT STARTED REBOOTING OVE AND OVER.
So now my phone can't connect to my pc for PCC repair or flashtools as MTP mode can't be switched off (and my phone won't turn on for the sd card to be read). And i am stuck with the Sony Ericsson Logo.
Please help me.....thanks in advance.
U have soft bricked your x8.
U can reset your x8 to original 2.1 with the help of following steps.
It's easy. Do it and rooted your phone again
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570523
Officially corp via W8
Or just try Flashtool
i think your problem is flashing driver.. try to install on /flashtool/drivers/ the name of drivers is gordon gate.. but if your have a same problem after installed drivers, check your drivers on my computer/drivers.. or try for flashing on other computer..

Thanks for your answer..... But as I said my phone is still in MTP mode and doesn't seem to snap out of it. As i plug in my phone it turns on the green light and then starts rebooting as usual. Is it my driver 's issue? or is it just the mtp mode?? flashtool also says the same thing..:crying:
U cant keep it longer.
Open flashtool then select firmware and ok.
Wait till a screen appear.
Now connect ur phone by holiding back button.

But flashtools shows ERROR and flashing aborted and says that for 2011 line devices make sure your device is not in mtp mode....
Flashtools doesn't work that way....
Remember , wana unlock bootloader use stock rom to unlock. Do not use any install custom rom to unlock. Thing u have made a misstake.

Don't try to unlock the Bootloader
If the error getting further, Re-install Windows.
It can't be, 3 weeks ago I had the same problem (MTP) .
I can't even install Apps via flashtool, so I try to connect to flashmode.
It works.
As I said try to Re-install windows.
Good Luck.

It may be in your flashtools folder
Go to flashtools installation folder/drivers now u should see it... & its the right one
- maybe you should plug while your device is turned on?+usb debugging enabled (don't laugh! I just can't remember it)
sent using" ultimate - ics - standard"
Do you have PC Companion? It should have necessary drivers for the phone and also install gordon's gate from the setup file in the drivers folder.If its not working then search the web for it you will get the latest drivers for download.
