If you are not successful:- (a) check your PC [devices] [usb] to see if your phone is recognized by your PC (troubleshoot PC driver problem) (b) [usb debugging] in your Xperia X8 phone settings enabled? Then [Launch] [SuperOneClick] and try again. Install any File Manager from Android Market, such as Astro File Manager. Step 2: Mount Xperia X8 (to access SD Card) - copy [Root.Explorer.v2.16.apk] to root of SD Card - using PC create folder [xRecovery] and unzip xRecovery0.1.rar - put the 3 files into the xRecovery folder you've created - copy the xRecovery folder to root of SD Card Step 3: UnMount Xperia X8 from PC Step 4: Launch [Astro File Manager] Install [Root Explorer v2.16.apk] Step 5: - Launch [Root Explorer] - scroll down to /sdcard [click to access] - scroll down to xRecovery folder [click to access] - Select each of the 3 files (one by one) [click & hold] [copy] - [click] parent folder (twice) - scroll down to [click to access] [system] - [click to access] [bin] and [click] [Mount R/W] (R/W as in Read/Write) - press [paste] button Now your Phone should be rooted and ready to install your Android 2.3.7 Step 1: Make a backup copy of your Android Eclair 2.1 using xRecovery - check that your phone's SD Card has at least 650MB of free space [SD card free space is to hold both your phone original backup ROM and the 2.3 ROM] - shutdown your X8 and wait 5 seconds and then [reboot] your phone. - when you see the words [Sony Ericsson] on the phone screen, start pressing the back button on your phone multiple times and you will enter the xRecovery Menu. - select [backup and restore] [backup] from the menu NOTE: - This will create a backup file in your SD Card [SD/xRecovery/backup] - After you have completed the backup using xRecovery, it will return to the menu screen. - Now choose [reboot] - your X8 phone should restart Step 2: Download GingerXperia ROM (something you probably already did with the links above) - [mount] your Xpedia X8 and copy this file [GingerXperiaV10.zip] into SD card - [unmount] and shutdown your Xpedia X8 Step 3: Installing the 2.3.7 ROM on your Xperia X8 - [boot] Xperia X8 - when you see the words [Sony Ericsson] on the phone screen, start pressing the back button on your phone multiple times and you will enter the xRecovery Menu. - [select] [factory reset (full wipe)] - scroll down and hit [install custom zip] - select [GingerXperiaV10.zip] from your SD card & hit [yes] - xRecovery will start to install the 2.3.7 ROM on your phone. - when it is done, xRecovey will go back to the startup menu - [click] [reboot] If you are stuck in the GingerXperia startup screen for more than 5 minutes, just try restart the phone and It should be fine. Took me 2 restarts before the new ROM took action.
