Yes. And unknown sources.

Good Day! This is my first time to post and a noob at rooting but want to help you.
May we know what are the things that you did before rooting the device?

The problem is with trying to root the device.
I downloaded the root kit. Enabled USB Debugging. Allow Unknown sources. Extract root kit. Run runme.bat. Connect phone to computer, Press any key... "daemon started successfully" and it just sits there.

Adb drivers might not be installed properly, I think.

Where should I go to reinstall them. I ask because I must have done it wrong the first time.

If you have installed the PC Companion, then ADB drivers should be installed.

May we know what version of the build number r you in? .423 or .244?

Just put ADB.EXE in your System32 folder. That should do it

system/app deleted

Hi, help needed. I rooted my phone recently. To free up some more space i deleted the folder <system/apps> thinking of it as backup apks of system apps.
Now the phone goes blank in seconds after starting. Please help.
PS: didnt install xrecovery after rooting.
What have you done???!!!! There's no app in your phone now!!!
Try installing a recovery with the X8 toolbox (search in the dev section) and flash a ROM.
Repair your phone with PCC, SEUS or Flashtool
Immediately use flashtool and flash stock firmware
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk 2
i have the backup of that apps folder in my PC, if only, somehow i could copy it back.
if you could please provide links on doing recovery without xrecovery being installed,
or the usage of other tools aforementioned, that would help a lot.
go to this link and download 2nd one and install it,
http://www.mediafire.com/?yas7dola6dgd8
download the stock firmware here
http://www.mediafire.com/?61tbas3592yv1ru
if that zip is password protected, then use this password
androidstockromlibrary.blogspot.com
extract zip and put the *.ftf file into here, (only if you didn't changed the install location of flashtool)
C:\Flashtool\firmwares
then open flashtool and select flashmode and select x8 then press ok,
in few seconds a display will appear, take off battery in your phone and connect it to computer using usb,
now hold back button and insert battery, then green light will appear and stock firmware will flash
Guyz what the hell are u saying?
There is no need to flashtool or anything else....
Just do a full wipe & flash your ROM again
Is it important how did i send this?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha,now when that is done,go to your computer and delete system32.
Sarcasam off.
Just recover your backup in recovery without doing fullwipe.

thanks, but the last of the replies got late. I already went with flashing, and this seems to be going fine.
just this:
in the end it says:
14/040/2012 02:40:09 - INFO - Flashing finished.
14/040/2012 02:40:09 - INFO - Please wait. Phone will reboot

14/040/2012 02:40:09 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
do i now disconnect and reboot myself, because it is not doing so itself (if it was supposed to).

you should consider using the Update Service from Sony Ericsson, it's need internet connection on PC to download and flash Eclair, just try it..
Enter account details and unlock it.
If he has also forgotten that then,
download SEUS.then click on xperia x8.then connect phone in flashmode (i.e. switch off phone and connect it while holding back button)
click on update.then it will install latest software.
p.s. - data will be lost in seus.

Rooting

Hi I am a training dev from the HTC hero forum and I have had to have a replacement as my hero exploded (0mg) my new phone is the x8 and so far so good but can anyone help me so I can start runing ics and start developing for this phone
How do I root this as universal androot don't work
What next thanks
That's all folks.
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app
I used superoneclick for rooting. If you want ics, you need an unlocked bootloader. As for the x8, you can safely unlock your bootloader if you manufacturing date is 11w28 and below.
Sent from my rooted tomato using xda app
Use this X8 Toolbox to root the phone.
If you want to unlock the bootloader, read this or this. But don't forget to check the manufacturing date under the battery, if it's below 11W29 you can unlock your BL. If your phone's manufacture date is 11W29 or past 11W29, you shouldn't try it.
I have a immovable boot loader and its now rooted thanks but the unlocking of bl looks kind of difficult and I cant dl the files

Install Tor Browser Bundle and try again..
Normally we just use FlashTool to root, unlock bootloader & install kernels etc.. Saves using loads of different apps to accomplish the same result..
Googleed it and getting it from github

Looks like your build prop file has got screwed up...if rooted try looking at in a text reader just to see if info is there.
It won't harm your phone just that if you connect to pc companion or sus it won't recognise your phone or what version you got.
Don't think you will get ota either.
What does settings/about phone show.

Using flashtools select any one of these .257/.254 ftf files for your c5303 model. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367488
If you don't have flashtools Google for download link place the ftf into the flashtools folder/firmware
Then with phone connected in flash mode install this will update phone and hopefully sort out unknown info.
