Just need clarification

I hope this is the correct thread.

I wish to clarify the steps as there's a lot of modifications done on the rooting steps

I have the latest stps 2 and 3 taken from "GUIDE] Root your X10 ! {Update 29.06 R2BA020 ROOT }" (can't add the link due to restrictions) but just want clarification

My Phone

I have Xperia X10i with Build number R1FA016

The phone is unlocked

The network is O2 Ireland

I will be flashing the phone on Win 7 32 bit with the latest version of Java from Sun.

I believe I need to flash with a generic uk rom.

Is that correct?

If so If I download O2 R2BA020 GENERIC UK file and extract the files I get two files called FILE_and a long string of numbers but no .zip at the end - the file type is given as FILE. If I add .zip file type the files throw up an error saying archive is not recognised the app I use to extract the files is 7zip.

Compare this to other roms ie generic R1FA016

So where can I get O2 R2BA020 GENERIC UK file that works or do I need it?

After flashing I then proceed to step 2 and flash the phone and finally step 3 to root it.

Is the above correct?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Diabolico:
No it's not correct, step 1 of the procedure flashes your phone to R1FA016, so is you have that already on your phone (not branded I believe) you can simply follow step 2 but a reset to factory settings first might be smart.

In step 2 FOTA is being copied to your phone (can take a while with a blank command screen) and then being run where you choose option 6. FOTA will do some rooting stuff followed by an OTA update to R2BA020 GENERIC UK (so for that you won't need to download the ROM yourself). The entire FOTA process will take quite a while with the reboots and all so make sure you don't interupt the process in any way until you are presented with the normal X10 startscreen.

Step 3 will finalize the rooting job to be a proper root and install some addition apps to be used for/with root.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MeanMan:
X10 Mini and mini pro

Been trying to find any comments about thees systems by someone who knows anything but failed. There was a comment from before the rooting was complete that I should be rather easy to adapt the x10 root to them. Do you still believe so and is there anyone who wants to try?

From what I understand we will need another image to flash the device with then we can use the same hack. Is that correct?

Hi, I have a newbie question. Will a root allow a set-up of wifi with wpa2-eap with PEAP?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Beanyness:
Few questions...

Is it now possible to put 2.2/froyo on the X10? Or is root even needed for that?

And will we now start seeing a lot of highly customised ROMs? (there was tons available for my X1 with WinMo)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] synlar:
No. Since 020 firmware just got released for x10a, I bet the devs are working to get the proper root set up for x10a. I'm waiting for this too.

Hopefully. There's an app called 'wifi helper' just google for it, though some people are saying it doesn't work, but you can manually edit a file; you can find it somewhere, just try searching for wifi helper, and i think somebody's posted what file to change

Try this link:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1386

read post #10, I haven't tried anything, but I need this too!

They need to hack the bootloader, which I bet the devs are working hard on

Ok so I am running on 64-bit Windows 7 and I incorrectly added the .jar/.bin file to the Path on windows and in the process accidentally deleted the entire Path!

Thanks in advance :)

if you check the custom rom development thread, it seems like they are working on it and they are making some progress. I think we should see it in the next two weeks but this is purely speculation. Personally I'm waiting until then to root my phone.

The direction is to create kexec as module to use the SE kernel as boot loader since the support to kexec is not enabled. At the moment there isn't a kexec module.

FYI

I recently acquired a nice, cheap, software for my X10i.

Perhaps you already heard of it, it is an SSH (Secure Shell) Daemon called QuickSSHD allowing for remote terminal connections to the X10 through for example wifi.

It is cheap, $US 1.50, and makes your phone easily accessible from any computer (linux, mac or pc) where you have an SSH client installed.

QuickSSHD is supposed to be installable from the Market, but I could not access the paid apps section, so I emailed the author who replied instantly by sending me an apk file.

Works really well on my rooted X10i.

BTW, it is quite fun to run dmesg and study the contents, not having to type the command on the X10´s screen.

Guys would it be possible to port in near future the GUI of the X10 MINI on our X10?

I had ma hands on it a few days ago, and i was impressed bout it, the gui is as fast and smooth as the iphone or galaxy samsung, and optically much better than our one
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bothered:
Hi all

I followed the rooting guide and all went VERY well, even when I removed an app I wanted to to keep I figured out via your forums again how to reinstall ! So now I have a Generic R2BA023 rooted X10i. (im Uk and was previously on Gen UK R2BA020 via T-mobile R2BA014 (though firmware was fairly generic looking)

I have two question I stupidly restored my SE backup Restore file (all options ticked)from Generic UK R2BA020, (my contacts didn't appear) I should have just resynchronised on-line

q1 - As this may leaves file in my system can I clean those files as I assume they are on my phone somewhere

Kinda leads to my next question

q2- Now that my phone is rooted, can i do fresh flash/install of any firmware without SEUS and how? Ie. in q1 I want to have as clean and as customised system as possible, I would like to clean/fresh reinstall of rooted R2BA023 (without SEUS if its easier since i have root

(MAYBE start from "step2.cmd" as Noobie guide)

any advice/links or guides appreciated
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
Start completely from the beginning, and follow the instructions provided - don't start from step 2. (I don't think you can, anyway.)

This will give you a rooted, generic UK R2BA023 rom. Hope this helps! :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sadams39:
Well I've just read the whole thread and after the break with the root, there's no communication about that?

Where are the comments about post rooting x10 experiences.

I've rooted and I must say that the first thing I noticed is that when I got home from work yesterday, I still had more than 50% battery. The ONLY thing that I could say against the x10 after I got it was the battery sucked. Now the battery is easily 150% better. The OS is quicker, in the sense that it doesn't lag when opening messaging apps.

Would like to hear your thoughts on rooted R2BA023.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] spip666:

Questions before rooting!?!

Hi firstly I'd like to apologise If these have already been answered I actually have a rooted g2 this is for my wife. 1: if I leave the sd card in the phone during the rooting process will it be wiped? 2: I'm assuming everything will be wiped from het phone during this process which not root back up program will back up all her apps and contacts etc? What is the best method to enable me to restore all her things afterwards? 3: is out worth waiting to root once the boot loader has been hacked our should I root now as she is complaining about lag? 4: can I delete time scape and media scape or does that ruin the ability to use contacts as I've read somewhere? Thank you for your time.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] thefunkaygibbon:
Been away from XDA a little while, what's the latest on the bootloader?

I'm presuming it is being worked on similar to how 'standard' root was away from the normal forums to keep people like me asking stupid questions about updates in the technical thread.

If this is the case then fine, I'll wait till they update, I just want to make sure I haven't missed an update somewhere that I haven't been able to find.

Dutch rooted firmware image

Hello all!

Just found out about this rooting business and I was wondering if there is a rooted image available with Dutch customizations installed (more precicely, which has Hyves integration into Timescape).

Or is it possible to extract the Hyves integration plugins from my current image and transfer them to a rooted generic image?

Some burning questions

No posts before and of no help before to others, so you gotta hate me for that ;) And I don't have a X10 yet, so again gotta hate me for being here.

Kinda wanted to ask:

So now if I buy a X10 and root it, can I than run the unmodified Android 2.2 that Google brings out on my X10, is that possible?

I want it bare-bones, just the simple unmodified Android 2.2.

Thanks for any help.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] arj154:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] LahoreAmsterdam:
I have read somewhere also, that it is pretty much intergated into the OS that removing is not correctlty possible. But hey I am new, but I am sure I read that somewhere.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:
Well it does. Like your contacts won't show up that was the only thing I experiecned when I did it last time. You can use Moxier contacts to see them. Its kind of wierd.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lewisskinner:
I don't mind timescape. Let's face it, if timescape were a deal-breaker, I'd have bought the Android 2.1 multitouch Nexus One instead of the 1.6 Xperia. Timescape is really quite nice!

Really, if you don't like Timescape, why did you buy the inferior hardware (half RAM, and can only accpet 126GB vs 32GB SD cards in Nexus)?

now, my question is: Now we've rooted the phone (and got it really cooking may I add!) can we flash 2.1? Also, how can we alter the ARM Snapdragon clockspeed?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] arj154:
Well for one its a lot cheaper for me to buy an x10 as it was £255 and I could trade in my previous phones to get it. I dont understand why your being so defensive over timescape. Its poorly designed really, you cant like or comment on a status from within the app, you can reply to people on twitter from the app, you can just view it. Also it takes ages to load etc. Im not knocking the phone, I think its great.

Also use the search button. Theres multiple posts even within this thread explaining that the bootloader needs to be hacked first.

EDIT: I just checked the last page, your question was answered at the top!! Seriously, learn to read!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] james_2k:
also the x10 doesnt have half ram. its got 3/4 ram! and double the rom or something according to that spec review site linked to somewhere..

inferior hardware my arse. the aesthetics are just as 'hardware' as the ram

Follow This Guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711907

It will take you back down to R2BA016 but once you finish you will be on R2BA024 Rooted. I know the guide says from R2BA023 to R2BA024, but if you follow the directions you will see that it takes you to R2BA016 then upto R2BA023 and finish off with R2BA024.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] UpGrad3:
Thank you very much my friend ill do it now :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] arj154:
so if youre already on R2BA023 you can just update using the SEUS flash tool to load the R2BA024 ROOTED firmware? Will it reset the phone to factory settings? Whats the advantage of R2BA024?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] UpGrad3:
Sorry FateZero i forgot to ask do i follow the rooting guide so i basically re root it or do i download the:

UPDATE FROM ROOTED R2BA023 TO ROOTED R2BA024 X10i ONLY

package witch i can see when i scroll down a little bit and then use step 1 and 2 inside this rar ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FateZero:
I would follow the guide as it will take you back to 16 then 23 and end with 24 rooted and you are all the way up to date.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] UpGrad3:
Thanks alot i did it and im on 23 now i tried to go to 24 but i got exclamation mark image upon next boot up so i did the whole procedure from step one again and im back on 23 i have been reading that many people have had this issue, its something to do with the phone not enterin flash mode so im guna try again tomorrow when i have had some sleep.

stuck on step 2

Hi, trying to root my x10i but i keep getting stuck on step 2.cmd it says

'Device not found'

'Device' not found'

'press option 6 SD card update'

I have Sony Errison update service installed and pc companion, I also have debugging on and i'm not mounting the sd card? why doesnt it work?????? please help!!!!!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FateZero:
Did you check you device ID and update it in deviceid.txt and if you have more than one then you need to try each of them till you find the right one.

please remember every usb port gives you a new device ID. thats why I always use the same port.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] biktor_gj:
Because you probably don't have the device correctly installed. Go to Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager and look for a sony device with an exclamation mark, if there's one, remove it, unplug & replug, if it still doesn't pick the driver automatically you'll have to install it yourself... or repair SEUS / Pc Companion.

You can also try on another USB port on your PC, maybe it's faster...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kieran_je:
There's nothing in my device manager, no exclamation marks. i've reinstalled SEUS and companion twice and still says device not found, im only using the one usb so i'm getting the same ID which i change in the step one folder?. any other ideas?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ClintonH:
Try copying and paste the DeviceID.txt into the other folders as well, I pasted it into all 5 and had no issues.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kieran_je:
All 5 folders? the instructions says to delete 4th and 5th folder and 4th and 5th cmd? I have copied DeviceID.txt to the other folders but still nothing?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] biktor_gj:
If it says device not found is an adb issue. No need for device id in there.

Stupid question... you leave the phone ON after enabling USB debugging don't you?

Step2 must be run with the phone ON...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kieran_je:
Lol yes it is on, i've just found the unidentified device for the x10 in device manager, it was under USB? ive installed the drivers and it says ADB interface Driver, is that right? thanks again
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] biktor_gj:
Yes it is :)

Now just run step2 and root the phone!

first off i give my gratitude to everyone here who does all this great work and for those who help out, i apologize if this question i am about to ask has already been answered i have looked and cant seem to find it in the forum maby its there but too technical so if this question has been answered i apologize...

basically i used to have a G1 Rooted and running on cyanogen my question is about the recovery image it used to be so easy to update to the latest version of your rom or flash a new rom by using the recovery and i noticed with the x10 at the moment it seems if you want to update to the latest firmware you have to got through the rooting procedure again and loose all your settings and apps im not complaining i appreciate everyone hard work im just sayin its annoying to keep loosing all your stuff so im asking are people working on a custom recovery image will there ever be one to make everything simpler ??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tuxStyle:

Rooting R2BA026

Hi,

sorry for any redundancy. I tried searching for this and just got lost.

So, if I am on an non-rooted x10i running 026 and want to root it, should I just run run the original rooting files for version 024 and then run the update to 026 after it's rooted? If so, (and I apologize if I'm stating the obvious), then I assume that there is no issue rooting it for version 024, if I'm currently on 026.

Hey :-)

I'm not sure if any of have tried this but i was browsing on the APKtor app and on one of the repos, i spotted an app called "universal root-v1.6" it was a long shot but I thought it cant hurt to try (I use that term very lightly :-)).....

IT WORKED!!!!!!!! one click and my phone is now rooted!!! The app is simple and has a UI of just 3 options, first is the operating sytem (eg 1.6) then under that there are 2 buttons, 1 says "root :-)" the other "unroot :-("

I'm new to the everything on android so I apologise for my basic terminology but we all have to start somewhere... If anyone needs any more info then please dont hesitate to contact me... Also if anyone has any cool things i can do now Im "rooted", Im all ears :-)
