[Q] Sony Xperia X8 root issue

---

Hello guys

I ran through n no. of threads
I checked the steps for rooting the phone
And i did it accordingly but the "waiting for device" issue still prevails

I downloaded SE USB drivers as well though i don't know how to install them
I've PC companion's 2.0.0 version
I've SuperOneClick's 1.7 version

I'll tell you the steps i followed
1. SuperOneclick started
2. Click ROOT tab
3. Starting ADB... Waiting for status
4. With Unknown sources ON and USB debugging ON, i connect the phone


Even then it says Waiting for device

I read in the forums that it needs Windows Vista or 7
I've Windows XP Professional though 2002 Service pack 2 version

Pls help me get through this problem
Sorry for creating a new thread but i've been trying to this since hours together

What is the exact problem? And how do i check whether I've latest Sony Ericsson USB Drivers?

When it says waiting for device when phone is connected try to turn usb degging off and on or try to root phone with FlashTool

I´ve rooted on XP 2002 Home Edition SP3 without any problems.
Try it the following way, it worked perfectfor my sister´s phone with SE 2.1 (because I don´t know what I did with my phone any more , and we both have an E15i :
First of all, be sure that you are using the computer where you´ve upgraded to 2.1, or download the X8-drivers somewhere (google is your friend!^^)
extract the attached SuperOneClick.
Run the SuperOneClick.exe.
Enable USB debugging on your phone, but do not connect it yet.
Click "root".
let SOC start the ADB and the other stuff.
Connect your phone when it says "waiting for device".
After a few seconds, you should have root.

Try to install Sony ericsson update service...it will install the latest drivers during the installation of the program..
