[Q] Help... X8 trouble.

OK, first hi everybody I'm new here and will try be helpfull for other members as soon as I deal with my phone.
I bought the Xperia X8 2 months ago, tried to uprade it to gingerbread, failed and gave up. Now im trying again and i've read a lot threads here and unfortunately nothing seems to work. Cant root the stupid thing.
The phone is model E15i, it has 2.1-update1 - Frimware version, Baseband version is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015, Kernel version is 2.6.29 and 2.1.1.A.0.6 is the Build number.
I tried rooting with SuperOneClick countless times with different version of the program including latest and it always freezes, i get the Not Responding treatment. Also tried x8toolbox and again nothing. I folowed every step from other threads and it cant be rooted. I installed Root Explorer 2.16 apk but wasnt able to copy files from xRecovery to bin folder because i cant change r/o to r/w ( i guess this is because the phone is not rooted ).
Somebody please help
P.S. All suggestions are welcomed !

Bootlocker??
If u wer on the stock firmware and locked bootlocker this can actually happen. See to that u have unlocked the bootlocker. Then try to upgrade once more and if failed then there is plenty of custom roms available here on the rom section so ntng to worry abt. Its fine.
To unlock boot locker :
Turn off phone and start in fastboot mode,
Before that,
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
On your computer, click Continue at the bottom of this page to start the unlock boot loader process.
Read through the information in the pop up window and click Yes, I’m sure, if you are still confident you want to unlock the boot loader.
Read through and accept the legal terms. Click I Accept.
Enter your name, email address, the first 14 digits (remove the last digit) of your phone’s IMEI number and the two CAPTCHA words in the input boxes. Click Submit. You can view the IMEI number by entering *#06# on your phone.
The unlock boot loader key is displayed. Write it down and save it for later use.
Download and install the latest Android SDK from developer.android.com.
Download and unzip this file. This is the standard android_winusb.inf-file, with a few lines of code added to enable Fastboot to support Sony and Sony Ericsson devices. Make sure you are running Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher in your Android SDK. You can see current Google USB Driver package revision in the SDK Manager.
Place the unzipped file in the usb_driver folder, located in the Android SDK > extras > google folder on your computer. Accept to replace the old android_winusb.inf-file with the new file. If you can't find the usb_driver folder, please install the Google USB Driver Packager using the Android SDK manager.
Turn off your phone.
On your phone, push and hold the unlock button* at the same time as you connect the phone to the computer with a USB-cable. The unlock button may differ between different phone models. See the note in the bottom of this page for more information on what button use on your phone.
On your computer, you will be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file.
Open a command window and go to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder.
Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.
Warning! If you perform this step, you will unlock the boot loader. This may void your warranty and/or any warranty from your operator. If you still want to unlock the boot loader of your phone, enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY, where KEY is the unlock boot loader key you got in the beginning of this instruction. The boot loader should now be successfully unlocked.
And if u still fail come back with the error and dont frget to say thanx for my efforts(press if only it helped.)

Hi there
I would recommend you to use flashtool to root and unlock your phone. Of course it will have many other function as else.

I suggest that while you are on stock ROM, "Repair" your phone with PCC to flash back stock.
Then try rooting again.

Instal pc companion lol . . Make sure a driver was install
----------------------------------------------------
Xperia X8
| MiniCM9-3.0.1 | nAa-ics-02 | 100% SuperCharger | Chainfire ?! |
Thanx to " nAa and Zeppelinrox "

To rooting (this my way)
-Install sony companion first on computer..
And turn your phone in debugging mode,,plug your phone with the computer..
(wait until the tray icon said the driver install successfully)
-unplug the device from computer
-open superoneclick click root
-when a message "waiting for device" appeared,,plug device then choose recharge
-after this mesage appeared
(Your phone has been rooted!!
Would you like to run a test??)
CHOOSE NO..

Cant unlock the bootloader

I have 20a firmware and that should be unlockable. Ive tried different solutions but none of them works.
Ive tried with script but it says permission denied.
Ive tried with the all in one tool but when it reboots it shows an error message at the top of the screen "ERROR : boot image signature".
Its just my fault or i just cant unlock my phone with anything?
If i try from terminal the adb reboot oem-unlock line reboots my phone but it also gives unlock permission denied error message.
So I cant unlock this... any ideas?

I did it by doing this you can give it a try!! to unlock bootloader ( so you can flash roms with kernels) go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2224020
and download the BL_unlock_new .rar file when its download copy it to your desktop on pc and then extract it to desktop on pc . now make sure your phone is not connected to your computer go to phone settings,then go to development options, and then select usb debugging on. once debugging is on now connect your phone to pc wait for it to connect you can keep your phone on charging mode. now open the BL_unlocking_new extracted folder on desktop on pc and double click on the BL_unlock file a box should open up on your desktop asking you to tap a key to continue so press a key now your phone should reboot and some white writing will appear on screen .on your desktop the bottom line should say please... now tap a key on computer it should say press any key to continue < waiting for device> now disconnect phone from computer look on phone screen it should say now ready! now hold power button for 10 secs and let phone reboot. to test if bootloader is unlocked on phone go to dail pad and dail this 3845#*880# you should get the hidden menu on your screen scroll down to bootloader unlock check and select then select bootloader unlock check and hopefully it should say unlock...

I had the same problem as you. Tried everything, but the only one that works is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245415 it's also the simplest way.
Goodluck!

[Q]

Hi friends,
I have just bought Moto G 2nd generation smart phone with 16 gb internal memory. To root device, I tried to unlock bootloader. But it didn't go smooth. When I hit command fastboot oem unlock <key>, I got success message with status Device unlocked. Status 3.
But what the heck this status 3?. I am not getting any info about this.
Google search is showing that, at time of unlocking bootloader, few messages are shown like 'unlocked' then 'restarted' and device restarts. But this didn't happen with me. So I manually restarted my device for custom recovery. And flashed rom using TWRP2.7.1.1-titan-motog-2014. This command also showed me success message. Before this I copied UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip in device.
But after restarting and hitting recovery, device is not showing any thing and just black screen and then turning off.
Apart from this device is working fine, with normal boot.
P.S. RootChecker is showing that Root access is not properly installed on this device.
So what is the way out to root the device again properly?
Thanks in advance.

Status=0 is Locked never been unlocked
Status=2 is relocked HAS been unlocked
status=3 is UNLOCKED
you will never get status 0 back its a once only condition (some says a poly fuse blows- i personally think it's more a case of write once memory has a marked added, and thus cant be reverted back)
but dont worry there is no need to relock boot loader to 2 (as 2 and 3 both void warranty)
Boot loader lock or unlock has NO relation to being able to receive OTA updates or installing them.
TWRP is now 2.8.40 for moto g 2014 use search
super su is now 2.45 again search

(XPERIA E1) Root and install cwm recovery.. Sony Xperia E1 D2005

OK Guys the e1 has been an absolute mare... to root or basically do anything with so heres a guide to finally root this thing and install a custom recovery WHOOO.......
OK FIRST THINGS FIRST... UNLOCK BOOT LOADER ABSOLUTE BEST WAY AND SAFEST WAY TO DO IT.........
Please note! It will only be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases. You can check if it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device in the service menu by following the steps below:
In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
Go here and check whether your smartphone is on the “unlock bootloader” list or not. If your phone is not listed there it means that you cannot use this guide for unlocking the system
.
Also, on your handset type and dial: *#*#7378423#*#*; then go to “Service info -> Configuration -> Rooting Status” and check if the “Bootloader unlock allowed” says yes. If the “no” answer will be displayed then you will not be able to unlock the bootloader of your device.
Now, extract the file named “downloadinf.zip” (which has been downloaded before) on your computer.
Then, copy the obtained file (“android_winusb.inf”) to path c:\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver.
Click yes if asked to overwrite something.
Type *#06# on your phone and get the IMEI number; write it down as you will need it a little bit later.
Now, go here.
On the first page click on “Yes, I’m sure”.
Agree to Sony’s legal terms and then hit “I accept”.
On the next page enter your name, email and your device’s IMEI number and click on “Submit”.
An unlock code will now be offered; note it down.
Turn off your device and connect the same with the computer by pressing on the POWER BUTTON +vol down
Install the drivers on the path mentioned above (c:\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver).
Now, on your computer open command prompt: “start -> run -> type cmd”.
On the cmd window enter the following commands (one at a time): cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools; fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version; fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY (replace key with the code obtained before).
That’s all, now the bootloader will be unlocked.
In the end, remove the USB cable and reboot your smartphone.
NOW OK WITH BOOT LOADER UNLOCKED ............
Firmware...............
it is best to roll back via flashtool to 20.1.A.0.47 firmware its more compatible with the custom recovery ...
download firmware..https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B1oU0...xport=download
download flashtool...https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashto...ive/master.zip
place firmware in in firmware folder in flashtool directory connect phone holding powerand vol down and flash
NOW THE HEAD ACHE ROOTING BUT STICK WITH IT AND WE'LL DO IT
download http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot ( ok i understand people are sceptical of this but trust me it works it wins half the battle)
it will root xperia e1 alas! you will only have limited root privleges ((and it will install 2 apps easily uninstalled))) and it will install its own su app which does work but a bit annoying soo...
you can remove this via a delete system apps app, you do have enough privelages to do this....
install root checker it will say you dont have full root priveleges but su installed ? ok dont panic
CUSTOM RECOVERY
THIS WILL GET THEM FULL ROOT PRIVELEGES WE HAVE BEEN LONGING FOR ...
OK DOWN LOAD THIS RECOVERY IMAGE ...http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...3&d=1417104506
NOW
1. extract zip to somewhere on your computer & place img in the directory of fastboot.exe
2. Connect your phone in fastboot mode press vol + button while connecting to USB
3. Flash via fastboot ON FASHTOOL note to enter fast boot mode HOLD POWER AND VOL UP BLUE LIGHT SHOULD BE SOLID...
4.REBOOT..
OK NOW FINALLY
REBOOT INTO RECOVERY ....HOLD POWER AND VOL DOWN
NOW NAVIGATE TO ...ADVANCED MENU
OK NOW GO TO RE-ROOT SYSTEM (superSU) PRESS THIS REBOOT PHONE GO TO PLAY STORE RE-INSTALL SUPER USER APP

Motorola Droid Turbo Fastboot Issue

Device: Verizon's Motorola Droid Turbo with Android 6.0.1 and build number MCG24.251-5-5
Hey guys. Newbie here.
So recently i accidentally deleted an important video file and searched google for data recovery methods on smartphone. So most of the post that I read mentioned rooting and a recovery software called Dr.Fone etc. So I installed this software, connected my phone, turned on usb debugging and oem unlocking and started the recovery process. But it was not successful because dr.fone could not root my phone for deep data recovery.
so i googled again and tried sunshine, kingroot, kingoapp and iroot.
Then i tried adb and fastboot(to unlock bootloader).
The thing is in adb command line, the command "adb devices" shows my device. Then I wrote "adb reboot bootloader" and my phone rebooted. then i wrote "fastboot oem unlock(or something like this i copy/pasted it)" it told me that "waiting for any device".
I mean whenever i boot my phone into bootloader my "adb devices" command shows no device but i start my phone in normal mode the "adb command" is working.
Another thing, the "fastboot device/devices" is also not working. It just takes me back to a new line to enter a new command.
Any command containing fastboot is not recognizing my device and all the adb commands are recognized easily.
I have installed all the latest device drives including the universal adb drivers and motorola device manager.
Guys, i am open to all suggestions.
Please help me out.

You have to unlock your bootloader to get permanent root, and you have to do it with Sunshine.
Sunshine is a $25 paid app.
There IS an unstable, temporary root method appropriately called "temp root" that is actually the first step to using Sunshine to unlock the bootloader. Some people cheap out and ONLY use that. But it doesn't survive reboots and you have to run a special command to uninstall it, otherwise you bootloop.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3639316
However, it's possible this temp root method will allow Dr. Done software to do what it needs. Read up on it, try it, see. (Ignore the parts about Magisk, you don't need that.) Just be sure to run the correct uninstall commands. But you would have to do that anyways, if you used Sunshine to unlock the bootloader.

Have you tried just connecting to your pc, enable 'Transfer Files'/mtp mode, and using PhotoRec to scan it as attached storage? The video should not have been anywhere you would need root to access, so this should work. I personally haven't used PhotoRec on a phone in several years, but in the past it worked great. It's free software from CGSecurity (often bundled with TesDisk).
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Phot...data_from_my_phone.2Fdisk.2Fusb_key.2F..._.3F
Just remember, everytime you use the device you risk rendering the video totally unrecoverable. At best you'll get the whole thing back. More than likely if you're lucky, you'll only get part of it and it will be enough that video software can recognize and play what's left. (based on my own experience). It just depends on how large the video was (data-wise) and how many blocks were overwritten by other data.
