Hi Jeandy, sorry that rooting is not a subject to be discussed here. However, if you are interested, check out the website which Suze has mentioned earlier. Again, please take note that this will void your warranty.

The X8 on version 2.1 doesn't support flash player.  You can try Skyfire as a browser which allows you to view some webpages that use flash player.

Where are you trying to download from, directly from your browser or via the Android Market app in your app drawer?

If you got Slide Me and not Market in your phone it's because your handset is customized for a region/country where Google doesn't allow Android Market to be used.
There's unfortunately not way to download or in any other way get Market to this phone.

It would appear that you have a handset that perhaps didn't originate in Singapore, as my understanding is that they normally have the Android Market on.  What sort of shop did you purchase the phone from?  Is it worth going in to a different phone shop to check their models to see if they have the Market on them, then it would give you some info to go back to the original place to discuss it with them.

so there is no other way to fix this problem?.....

You could root your phone and install a generic firmware but this is not a subject on which I have any knowledge.  You could look over at XDA developers forum as they have tutorials and knowledgeable users to guide you.  It will invalidate any Sony Ericsson warranty.

Have you been back to the store that you got the phone from?  Did they make clear when you bought it that you weren't buying a local device? I don't know what your consumer laws are like over there but that could be misrepresentation if they did not.
