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.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?t3baob63v9grqub <== Flashtool
Don't forget to install driver & off AV

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..
That how i rooting..

If you haven't unlocked it.. Then it's most probably locked
I mean, I've already done all the steps, and it appeared to be successful. But where in the phone could we see that the bootloader is unlocked?

well if you think it's unlocked, try flashing a ROM and a kernel, if it works, its unlocked, if doesn't then tough luck
Just try and get Superuser and busybox. It shouldn't work on locked bootloaders

....And when unlocked, did Mobile Bravia Engine 2 still works? Try to BE off then make a screenshot, the same goes to when BE is on. Make a comparison. This is a known bug for 2012 Xperia phones. Did Xperia V included?
SlenderMan,
I urged you to edit your thread to warn people if they decide to unlock the bootloader of their Xperia V smartphone. On my Walkman app you will get a security error when trying download music info. Yet I tried fixing but to no avail by using this thread:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006356
Also tried this :-
1.Move CredentialManagerService.apk from /system/app to your SD card.
2.Reboot your phone.
3.Move back CredentialManagerService.apk from SD card to /system/app
4.Change permissions to rw-r-r
5.Reboot your phone.
But still unsuccessful. I used the playerpro app anyway but to let you know this will happen to smartphone if they choose to unlock their bootloader.

Is it 100% impossible to unlock the phone?
Is there no other way?
Because I really need to use a different SIM on my phone.

I think there's a way. By using testpoints. But i'm not sure if it's available for the V
I got some troubles in step 7&8.
I switch the phone off.
I push and hold the volume up button to enter "fastboot".
The blue LED will turn on and then the first time I got a message that drivers where missing and I closed that message.
But then the blue LED turned off and I only can find "Sony USB storage" in my device manager.
I tried it several times again and now every time I enter "fastboot" the blue LED will only stay on for about 10 seconds.
I can not find the device (S1_fastboot or Android Phone) fast enough before the blue LED turns off and then I can only find again the "Sony USB storage" device.
Deleted the drivers of the device "Sony USB storage", but then after I enter fastboot (blue LED turns on) and the blue LED turns off again it will automatically install these drivers again (because I suppose as soon as the blue LED turns off I leave the "fastboot" mode).
Any suggestions anybody.
Please advice.

Ok it worked. I just had 10 seconds to install the driver as long as fastboot was "activated" (blue LED was on).
I had to do this in 3 times.
First to see in device manager where the device would appear (S1 fastboot).
Then to "right click" the device and select install driver. Select the driver folder.
Then again in fastboot and installed driver.

Weird? Everything that didn't work for you worked for me with unlocked bootloader.
I'm very new to all this, so if this is a stupid please forgive me.
I have a z3c with Android 4.4.4, I believe last night I've unlocked the bootloader via Sony's process. Phone rebooked and reset (and did see the green android doing stuff).
I want to install TWRP and then CM12.
Firstly, I can't seem to get into the standard (if there is one) bootloader by holding the volume button down.
Also, Is there a step by step guide to installing TWRP and some way of confirming I have actually unlocked the stock bootloader?
Regards.

use this code in the same way if you go to call *#*#7378423#*#* and check it on Service info configuration you should see something like this :
1 - bootloader unlock allowed: No
2- bootloader unlock allowed : Yes
3 -bootloader unlock: Yes
But for root the phone you don´t need unlock bootloader I don´t know in your country but here you lost warranty if you open it. You just need dowgrade to kitkat using flashtool, root with one script and you should to make a copy of TA partiton with other script and install dual recovery.
You have a lot of tutorials and videos arround.

I'm now following a post (DoomLord's) and trying to install CWM.
With the phone powered up and connected to PC, I can use adb and see a connection
I have tried getting into fastboot mode using two ways:
1. From adb and reboot in fastboot
2. Hold volume-up and connect usb....
I get a BLUE LED, but when using Android platform tools, "fastboot devices", none are shown....
I'm assuming blue LED means fastboot?
Note: I've turned on anti-virus / firewall... etc.
Basically, can't connect to phone via fastboot command....
Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply.
I've tried:
Clearing clearing the Dalvik Cache.
Factor reset
> Still the same; no wifi (light blue and shaded out)
I then:
Flashed Sony 4.4.4 stock ROM (D5803_23.0.1.A.5.77_RU.ftf)
> Got phone working again.
Then fastboot loaded CWM as per:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...58xx-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-4-7-root-t2890231
And again have the same issue, wifi will not turn on and is blue / shaded out.
Any ideas?
Is it worth trying TWRP? If so, is there a version for z3c?

Hi friends today I am going to tell you how to root k4 note which have Android 6.0 (M.M).
Many members have already given this process but in some place the needed files are missing and some other place the process is not explained clearly. So to slove this I have made all in one file and given the process as simple as possible by me.
This process have worked very fine for me. Rooted 8 k4 notes without any problem.
Read all and follow. And do it on your own risk. I am not responsible if anything go wrong.
First of all I would like to introduce myself ( I know it's not necessary but to some of them to believe my work )
Myself is Kaushik. I have been using XDA since 2 years but never opened an account and replied in posts. Now after learning a lot I thought I should also start replying. May be I am a junior member here but not truly a junior member.
I have flashed more then 250 mobile of all brands. And thanks to XDA my success rate is 99.7 %
Thanks to XDA to making me local gadget guru. Now here every one believe that if even service center also fail to slove some software problems but at last kaushik will surly pass.
OK now let's see how to root.
(This will void your warranty)
(Phone will factory reset, which means all of the apps and data will be gone, not the internal sd)
(To root Lenovo K4 note you need to first unlock the bootloader. See below to know how to do it )
1. First download the two files from the links I have given.
All files needed to install twrp and root are in one zip file. Link is below.
https://mega.nz/#!D8MAwSzK!BYSzl4FGE_dbLy5wwzS0lbwSSNbelB7eMmfwdQjDoos
Usb ADB drivers for k4 note. Link below.
https://mega.nz/#!281yHDoI!iuIynHRqf8ui7IffStBhwrJvHJ4NBn1eExy_MYpr13o
Now to unlock bootloader.
2. Now in your mobile go to 'Settings' / 'About Device' / press 7 times on built number to unlock Developer options.
3. Now go to Developer options and click on 'OEM Unlocking' and press enable.
4. Next enable the USB debugging.
Your bootloader is now unlocked.
Now in PC extract the downloaded files
5. Install lenovo adb drivers ( it is in the link I have provided ) on your pc
6. Go to adb folder and press and hold shiftkey and right click with mouse. Select open command from here.
7. type adb reboot bootloader You need to authorize the pc if not done already. (The phone will boot onto fastboot, you can see small fastboot written on the left corner of the screen once the phone boots)
8. Now open adb folder and open 'unlock_bootloder'. A message will be displayed in mobile to press volume up key to continue. Press volume up key. A message in pc cmd will display as press any key to continue. Now press any key.
9. Now in cmd type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
A message will be displayed as done.
Next part is very important
10. After its done press volume up and down button together with power button. Once you see the lenovo white screen, release the power button, release the volume keys once the screen goes black, wait for few minutes till you boot into the new custom recovery.
To avoid black screen set brightness below 30 in twrp settings. ( Not so important if don't understand how to do it )
11. Now the recovery allow modifications by just swiping and the goto mount and tick system and go back
12. Now go to advance, then file manager, then system, and delete the file named, recovery from boot.p ( if you are facing problem plz see point 14. )
13. After done do back and flash supersu.zip. (it is in the link which I have provided)
Now you phone is rooted and the supersu app will appear in the app drawer.
14. If you are facing problem with file manager flash aroma file manager ( it is in the link ). It will open in twrp. Now go to system and delete recovery from boot.p.
If you do not delete the said file again stock recovery will be replaced. If it happens so again you must repeat the steps from step 1.
Next to install xposed after boot up install xposed.apk (app is in the link)
Next flash xposed zip file. (Zip in the link )

HELP ! Fastboot doesn't recognize my device
s230 update brought a lot of issues thus I downgraded to s218 & now on s219. I am able to get adb to recognize my device but not fastboot. Therefore I am unable to unlock bootloader!
When I type in " adb reboot bootloader" or click on the "unlock_recovery.bat" file provided, I get booted into a dark screen where "fastboot" is written at the bottom left & the command prompt window says < waiting for device> & I am stuck there until I reboot my phone.

After seeing people not being able to root their S3 and rooting mine successfully, I have decided to make this tutorial to help those out there. This tutorial covers the procedures I took to successfully root my LeEco S3 US edition with EUI 5.8.018S and Snapdragon 652 processor. My phone is permantly rooted and has permanent TWRP recovery.
Make sure your phone has developer options and has usb debugging as well as the option to unlock the bootloader enabled
First off, download the AIO Toolkit created by Rishabh Rao here
Secondly, open the toolkit. Make sure to turn off your antivirus to avoid any interruptions. Once in the toolkit, select item 6 and allow the program to download necessary files. After the files have downloaded, select item 1 to install ADB/Fastboot USB drivers. During this process, PDA Net will prompt you to connect your phone to the computer. It will download the client onto your computer and install the PDA Net application onto your phone. When the drivers are fully installed, close the toolkit.
Open command prompt and run ADB. With your phone plugged in and in recovery mode, type fastboot oem unlock-go and you should see it attempting to unlock the bootloader. If you get a successful message of unlocking your bootloader, you are ready to move on to the next step as this is a temporary unlock. Close the command prompt.
Open the toolkit again, select item 6 and then select item 3 to unlock bootloader completely. When it has finished, go back to select item 4 to check and see if the bootloader has been unlocked. If so, move on to selecting item 5 to flash the latest TWRP recovery.
When the TWRP recovery has installed, if it has not booted into recovery by itself, hold down power + volume up to enter it. You will see the recovery all in the chinese language. Simply swipe the unlock to proceed and from the menu, select the box to the right and three down (which is settings). There, select the globe icon and scroll down to select the english language. Now that you can read what is there, go back to the main menu and select wipe to completely wipe the phone back to factory defaults. When it has finished, go back and select Advanced > Tools > Root Device. Your phone will now be rooted when you reboot and will have the latest TWRP recovery installed.
- If you receive the error message saying the device is locked while you are trying to unlock the bootloader from the toolkit, you need to run ADB again to temporary unlock the bootloader.
Quick question - will this only work on 18s and is it possible to update the firmware and keep root after doing this? Or would it work after updating to I think 21s which is the latest?
Thank you!
Hi
Can you break this down further with pictures too? How do I do the command prompt ABD thing?
Root
was this the easiest way? I'm going to try it in two days. Scared to mess my phone up though..
This method does not work on the 23s ROM. Does nothing
What's the best way? Simple way I mean?
Worked for anyone?
these instructions are for the le s3 with SNAPDRAGON processor, not for the MEDIATEK x20 that is where we have the problem
Just got this phone and gonna try this out, thanks ;p

Actually Ima wait...I've never rooted using TWRP Recovery so not quite familiar with it after the phone's been rooted. I've only used a couple of the one-click root apps, KingRoot and KingoRoot, for a couple phones.
Rooted it fine, now I need to figure out what I can do ;P <--- noob
How were you able to successfully root the phone?
