My W8 unit turned 1-month exactly today. Right after I bought it, my mind was wondering if the X8 rooting procedure will work for this “exact same” model. Why am I thinking that? The wifey had already a X10 Mini Pro unit for a couple of months now. Being much more techy than she was, I'm the one who used to install some applications, tools or games on her device to tinker whether it'll stay installed or not worthy to be installed on a “limited” storage space of the said X10.
Sadly, I can't experiment trying to root her X10 device (so we can use Link2SD app) as her unit came from Smart Telco, thus has a 2-year lock-in period.
Anyway, I really wanted to root my W8 so I can enjoy installing more and more apps. And finally, after doing tons and tons of searching, I was able to root my device. Without further ado, here's the procedure I followed. This worked for me so hopefully it'll work for you too.
[TUTORIAL] Rooting 2.1 Directly
Im going to show you how to root Xperia X8 2.1 directly!
1. Download modified "SuperOneClick".
2. Enable "USB Debug".
3. Connect phone to "PC" and select "Charge Phone".
4. Open "SuperOneClick" and select "Root".
5. Wait!
6. When it is done, reboot.
Now you have rooted Xperia X8 2.1 without flashing.
That tutorial came from here. So let's give thanks to velnens123 who made that guide. And most specially to the following persons;
CLShortFuse - for making "SuperOneClick".
sonty - for making exploit script.
Kudos to all of them!!!
By the way, aside from the link of the SuperOneClick program above, here's also the link from my SkyDrive account.
Happy rooting!
