Call me a moron here, but I'm pretty sure Linux can't run Windows executables. So why did you package adb.exe and expect Linux to be able to work with that?

Because we have only one op system on our PC. And it is probably windows.
I have used Ubuntu for a while but i need some windows addicted apps.

Talking about adb.exe inside the SuperOneClick?

Adb stands for Android Debug Bridge, runs on a Win-computer and communicates to the Android-device via Usb.

Edit: maybe missed the point of your post here.. :)
Thought you meant that adb.exe would run on the Android-device...

Yes, rooting voids your warranty so before you go to claim warranty make sure you unroot and remove superuser..

    bin4ry you su binary is incorrect and the exe are don't func sometime
    i've atached a zip with a running su binary and without the exe

    you need to to the manual way but it's verry easy.
    you can use bin4ry first part of her manual but in the second he has make some Mistakes. please type in the secon part:
    adb shell
    -> # cd /data/local/tmp
    -> # mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
    -> # cat su > /system/bin/su
    -> # cat superuser.apk > /system/app/superuser.apk
    -> # chmod 06777 /system/bin/su
    -> # chmod 777 /system/app/superuser.apk
    -> # reboot
    after rebooting you have root

    maybe you should post the manual way without windows
    for example mac or linux too ;)

    Done :)

    any working apps2sd for x8 eclair? 2.1

    Without root for 2.1 there's no apps2sd for 2.1..

    X10 firmware won't work on the x8 either it would need to be modified which means we would need recovery menu to flash the custom firmware, we don't have root for 2.1 so we can't get chargermon recovery to work...

    I have tried to get the x10 version working by modifying it for the x8 with 1.6 rooted but had no luck, I read that an x10 owner couldn't get it to work on 1.6 but when they updated to 2.1 it worked.

    Ive spent a lot of time trying to get a custom Rom onto the x8 but until 2.1 is rooted I don't think I will be able too... I have a Rom waiting though :)
