My x8 cannot be rooted. :(

First I've rooted my x8 (15i) successfully, I installedl nAa 13 and installed a Rom. I didn't liked the rom so I flash to my original kernel and version (2.1Update). And I flashed nAa13 again to install Minicm ICS rom but It didn't work for me.. So I flashed again to my original fw.. (I'm a newbie here in flashing so everytime I want to flash a new rom I flash first to my oriniginal fw so I dont know if it's the right way). After I flsahed to my orig fw I've format my sd card (I forgot to unroot my phone.) And now I unroot my phone.. Relocked the bootloader. And root it again but when i root it and connect to usb cable open it on my computer I dont see the system folders (like Android folder) Ive tried everything like using superoneclick, x8 toolbox, flashtool to root and those application said that my device is rooted but I can't see the android folders. What can I do to see it again..? I wish someone could help me. I tried everything but it's not working. (

Try software update/reset using the Sony Ericsson programme on your computer (SEUS) - that should reset it to 'stock'?

haha!
lolz!
if you want to flash new ROM just have rooted phone and unlock phone!
then flash the kernel that is the requirement for the ROM..i.e nAa - MiniCM7 OR alfs - DingerDX
I don't what you mean?
u can't see your folder from your PC or from your phone??
if you want to see from your phone, download and install file manager or root explorer

..
heheh im sorry I'll explain it further. When I root my device and it become rooted (installed superuser) and plug it in my computer i cannot see the SYSTEM FILES OF ANDROID. Like Android Folder, DATA.. That's what i meant but the software (like x8tool, superoneclick, flashtool) says that my device is ALREADY ROOTED. BUT I CANT SEE DATA SYSTEM FOLDERS WHEN I PLUGGED IT IN..

I never see the /system folder on my pc with the phone connected. Why not just use a root browser app on your phone?

...
hey i've root it again the superuser was installed. And when i plugged it in again in computer and OPEN TO VIEW FILES the folders contains only a FOLDR and 2 xml domcument. I thought when it is ROOTED I can see the Android Folders, DCIM folders, DATA, But why I cant see it. (

Rooting has nothing to do with those folders. Use your phone for a bit and they'll pop up, take a picture etc.

thats correct!
you are rooted.
in stock rom i dont think there is any use for "android" folder as you cant install apps at your sd(i dont remember if i had this folder when i was at stock,but how could i, its been a looong time!), but for "dcim", try to take a pic,as mentioned above!

you don't see files or folders when you conect to pc because you formated your sd card :silly:

I'm enlighten now and I thanked you all already. Thank you again to all of you. Im not a newbie anymore. :victory:

wait a sec, you use nAa 13 for ICS ROM? shouldn't it be the nAa-ics-04 kernel?

Downgrade 4.0.4 to 2.3.6 (no backup whatsoever)

I have update my phone (galaxy s plus) from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 by puting the CM9 to sdcard and enter recovery mode, and select update from sdcard.
I have no backups, because i couldn't install TWRP.
I want to downgrade because is more laggy now.
Can you hellp me finding a tutorial or something so I will not brake my phone?

Why is it laggy? It's not necessary to downgrade your phone. Which CM9 did you installed? Did you flashed with CWM? Have you done a full wipe before flashing new ROM? Did you fix permissions after install? If you did all this is shouldn't be laggy.
Still, if you want to go back to stock use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922505.

I only wipe ( 2 types of wipeing, can;t remember specific name) and than update the rom.
Is laggy, when I swich or close a aplication, and often I get a error like "this app isn't responding, 1.wait, 2.report. 3.close"

Thnx, it worked!!

[Q] phone won't boot to recovery, can't flash custom ROMs

Hi,
I can't seem to be able to boot into recovery mode, I push the power button and -vol but all that happens is that the phone just does a regular boot. I recently went from CM7 back to one of lg's stock ICS roms using smartflash (am now on android version 4.0.3, kernel; 2.6.39.4). But I now want to go back to CM or another custom ROM due to a lot of missing apps in play store.
what I have tried;
- Flash CWM using the LG-P990 AIO-toolkit
Result; no difference
- Reeboot to recovery from ROM manager (had to install ROM manager from downloaded .apk file which didn't recognize my device properly)
Result; Phone freezes on LG-logo screen
- Reeboot using Reeboot ap for optimus 2x from play store
Result; couldn't use app since it did not recognice my device.
I think maybe the recovery image have been removed, is there a way of flashing it? Optionally, is it possible to flash roms using my computer?
The bottom line is that I cannot install any updated apps since play store doesn't recognize my device properly (so it seems). I am stuck on an old version of the facebook ap, can't find Endomondo, wimp, snapchat, ROM manager etc. So if anyone have an idea on how I can get play store to recognize my phone I think wont need to flash a custom ROM. Maybe I installed the wrong version from LG?
Please help, thanks!

After install jb rom should reboot on stock recovery, make factory reset, restart, make ordinary setup(google and sammy account, etc.). Restart in stock recovery and flash

Hi,
I have rooted JB LQ4 with CoCore-E-5.0-CWM and I don't find allshare application. I found these files in system/apps directory but the start icon disappear and I can't run it.
I tryed to downolad allshare play and allshare control from GooglePlay and install it but when I try to start programs they write it: This app. is not compatible with your device. Could somebody send the original and working allshare files?
Thank you very much

Try this:
Install SD Maid. In option activate system apps to be shown. Find that, tap on it and start it. Maybe it will work this way.

It works, thanks. But my Advance cannot connect to my TV. (Samsung ES6710) I tryed to use iMediaShare and this app cannot connect to. I tested my wife's Ace2 (GB 2.3.6 stock ROM) and everything is OK, this device can connect to my TV with allshare and with iMediashare. Sure: the problem is in my telephone...

Try with latest version. You told that you use first JB from Russia. Use LQ4 or LQB from Serbia.

[Q] [HELP] Problem Xperia X8 (ROMs, Xrecovery)

Greetings from Colombia. The post I translated with Google translator because not speak English. Hope is not a big problem and I hope I helped. Thanks again.​
My problem is this. I have an Xperia X8 (E15i - 11w13) and a few days ago I returned my Xperia X8 to PC COMPANION Stock (Stock Firmware and Kernel) Then using the ROM: rDroid (The best ROM for me)
With my phone in stock. Decides to Flashing ...
+ Then I ROOT my phone with flashtool. All good up there.
+ I decided to install the xRecovery as always and installed (Copying 3 files to System / Bin with RootExplorer)
Restart .. And no, it did not work.
- Investigate and maybe he problem was the permissions. I repeated the process, modify permissions ... And no, it did not work
- Maybe it was the Busybox?. I repeated the process after installing Busybox from the Android Market ... And nothing
- So I thought ... and it decided to install the xRecovery Flashtool, I did and .. It worked!
Already with the xRecovery working and the new ROM on SD Card, decided Flashing.
+ Realize what Wipes and install the ROM ... There all good
+But when the cell lit New ROM test, shoot me Restarts every 10min, with a message in the notification bar that says: "It is safe to remove the SD"
+Or failed the internet or in the Market / Play Store (would not let me download any APP)
+Or And there did not return to take the ROM .. It was stuck on the logo of SONY
+Or And Not even let me enter the xRecovery
Then I play do ... TOTAL STOCK Back to PC Companion.
I returned to Perform ROOT process, Xrecovery (with Flashtool) ... All to Flash the ROM withthe rDroid Cel (The one I was using before the problem and it works excellent)
But what ... Again the same problem. The constant pulling reboot message "Safe to remove the SD"
So when I went back to try to get the xRecovery .. He returned and stayed stuck in the Logo of SE.
And I got to re-do?... Make PC STOCK TOTAL COMPANION :crying:
¡HELP ME!​

hi. i understand that you don't speak english, and thanks for the effort in using translate, but i'm afraid i'm not sure i understand. are you experiencing a soft brick now? or is the sdcard error the issue?
if you have a soft brick (stuck in sony logo), try using seus instead of pcc if pcc doesn't work.
if you're experiencing the sdcard issue, backup your sdcard and reformat it. also, install cwm instead of xrecovery as some roms apparently do not support xrecov (i have not experienced it though).
also, are you on stock kernel? i'm not familiar with the rom you're using. or is your bootloader unlocked and you have a custom kernel? and what is the new rom you're trying to use?
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

Just helping
if u want to fix the booloop (stuck at sony logo)
just flash the original firmware by flash tool
download here
and if u want to install custom rom
- Flash the kernel
- Full Wipe (dalvik cache and batery stats)
- Factory Reset
- Install ROM

Hello. Thanks for answering Cascabel.
But I had no brick problem, or soft or hard.
The phone works normally with the Stock ROM, but with a Custom ROM works but has problems (the same problem throughout the ROM I try)
Buy a New SD card (8GB Kingston) to see if the problem was on the sd card. And it still has the same problem with the new card

Thanks for your answers. Yesterday test a ROM (Xperia SOUL Engine Generation4) And so far not filed failures..

You don't test or mess xrecovery if you are in custom rom. You'll soft brick even you can boot up to xrecovery and xrec uses amend scripting so CWM in custom rom is the best. Xrec uses busybox and all custom rom can't update busybox.
