after i have flashed the mobile the model number is SO-01B and build number R1EA025. how i can changed it at it was to model number X10i and build number R1A016?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] naiso:
Just got the R2BA020 from sony's website

Just wondering if my x10 is still rootable if I already updated to the new buildnumber? I was trying to root for the past couple of hours and had no luck. I was on 14 when I was trying to do this. trying to do the generic 23 update. Please Help. :confused:Thanks a lot

Luckily the X10 is downgradable so no matter what version you're on you'll be able to root.

Headphones

Hi All

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the root and the potential for ROMS and updates it enables.

The only major issue I've had is with the headphone jack. I know this has been reported before, and some are saying that reinstalling mediascape helps.

Well, I used a script to reinstall mediascape and now the program works well, but the headphone jack is still not responding.

Any help with this would be very appreciated.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PeteGraham:
Hey. If you're on an X10a there's an update in the first page of posts about the headphones not working properly. Something to do with the baseband and the new firmwares not working well together. The guys have said this should soon be sorted when there's an official R2 update for the X10a.

If it's an x10i, I'd recommend just getting the MW600 headset. I use that via bluetooth and it's fantastic :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
Lets just hope this is still possible and se dont put an end to downgrading...

That shortcut comes with ADW LAuncher lol...

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bongd:
Using rooted R2BA023 on my X10a, 22 hours have passed and 30% of the battery has drained. Not bad considering how many videos I was watched, lots of browsing via WiFi and 3G, tons of texting all day and lots of checking my phone.

Seems like it's sleeping appropriately and nothing is waking it. I still need to uninstall some junk but overall I'm very pleased. Headphones worked because I followed the steps properly too the first time.. had no challenges.

I see that Titanium Backup can uninstall all of these default apps so why should we make it harder with those commands when we can make it with this free app ? Only thing that would be GREAT is that someone makes a list of what can we remove, I have removed GTalk and Ive had big problems so I needed to flash my phone again so Im asking that someone smart write us what can we remove without any problems. Titanium Backup is in the Market and it is FREE !

Tnx a lot, are there any connections between aps ? Meaning, can I uninstall one of Timescape parts or we must all of them at once ? Also, can you quote that post and write what are those apps since not all of them are known from the name.

Do we need to make backup before uninstall in Titanium Backup ?

Tnx a lot !

Great work guys this fixed all the issues I had on my Rogers x10a.. thanks for the updates to step 4 and 5
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] urs74:
Good stuff thanks for the update, I also had problems with the camera app not working when I did the previous step 4, which worked before doing 4 or 5... so if doing the new steps it should work I assume if not I guess I can just start over from Step 1. thanks again for the awesome updates much appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] damirbusic:
Some user have issues when Timescape is removed so I think that it should be removed from remove list in post #6.

"When I removed it I ran into a couple problems. The main one was when I wanted to look a contacts profile, it would crash the Phonebook app. I could still add contacts, edit contacts, long click to call, sms, email, etc contacts. If I wanted to click on the contact to open the profile Activity though it would crash.

There were also a couple of items in the system settings that simply would no longer open, but I can't remember just what they were."

hello guys, great job, really you succeeded to unleash the monster lying inside this phone.

i have rooted my x10i with no problems, but i have a question.

on my previous iphone(now in the garbage) i used to bypass my wap connection to be used for all applications by doing the following:

if we modify the iphone proxy.pac file and make it like:

function FindProxyForURL (url , host) {

if ( isInNet ( myIpAddress(), “14.0.0.0″, “255.0.0.0″) )

return “PROXY 192.168.4.11:80″;

else

return “DIRECT”;

}

how can this be done on the rooted x10i?

again thx a lot and great job.

is amss_fs.sin not needed with the new baseband fix? just wondering why this file was in all older updates for x10a, but not the new...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Slicka70:
I rooted my x10a with the files in a zip called "R2BA020_ROOT.rar" Which I got from those proyaz videos. I didnt go past step 3.

What would I have to do to get to the new R2BAO23 rom on a x10*A*

I tired the new step 4 and 5 and after 5 my phone bricked.

Any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] scotchmyst:
the files you downloaded from proyaz are for R2BA020 and the new steps 4 and 5 are for R2BA023 if you look at the firest post in this thred you will see the first files you need to go with either the flash tool or omnius method then u need the step 2 -5 files from same post (1st post) and the fixed ones you said you already have. Replace the fixed 4 -5 files with the ones in the ROOT_F2v2 folder then start from 1st step
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Slicka70:
Im downloading everything now.

So using the wrong 123 files messed up 4 and 5 and caused the brick?

I have a rogers x10a and I just did step 1 2 and 3 the 2nd time i tried to root the phone because the first time, i used the R2BA023 fix step 4 and 5 and got bricked. I re did it just doing step 1 2 and 3 and then i entered the APN manually and its working. My question is, the APN was automatically selected to goam.com. Am i suppose to change it to "internet.com"? That is the one with my data plan correct?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] scotchmyst:
Id say so a few people seem to have done same thing hope it works for u this time.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
I just compared a few different versions (R1FA014 Canada, R1FA016 UK, and the one from the previous fix) and they're all exactly the same. Same deal with dsp1.sin (between UK and old patch). That's probably why they're not needed.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zyexx:
Just to confirm, all I need to do is download all the files from post 1 and I will get the R2BAO23 firmware ?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Heroic_Kaizer:
I used the step 4 and 5 from the ROOT F2V2...and its working. Though i still hv to use auto internet settings and instead of using "goam.com" i put "internet.com"

Is there a difference between the two. For both of them, I am still using my Rogers data plan correct. I was also wondering if the facebook that is preloaded onto the phone, if i use it now, is it still unlimited usage under the social view package or its not valid anymore since im rooted?

for those who want to return the original firmware

Sony ericcson pc companion determines the event location of your IP address even if you have the UK firmware it does not download the improved.

In order to correctly obtain the latest firmware from the UK, you should use a proxy server or a program like HIDEMYIP( serch Google )

Thanks for your answer,

I followed the old post yesterday and my phone is rooted to fm RAFB023, and I have the earphone issue.

Then I found your update today, so I downloaded the new step4 step5 file and it showed the exception when I run it.

and also, my phone is keeping restart when I try to turn it off, I have to take off battery and then put it back on to enter the flash mode, is this also an issue with x10a rooted x10?

I think I find the reason of the exception, its because my phone auto turns on when I plug in the usb, so the step can not continue...

does anyone know how to fix the auto restart problem? Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Alleniv:
Hello,

Can anyone share the original R2BA023 (or even R2BA025) firmware? I would install it through SEUS without doing any root.

Hope in your reply; thanks in advance!

Auto turn on is normal! You need to hold down the back button so that it goes to flashmode! :) If it is in flashmode you have ~ 5secs do start step4!

Is it possible to get a nicer written guide for new root? I'm somewhat confused to what steps I actually have to do.

It whould be great if a new thread could be created & locked for comments/changes from others than the writer.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Diabolico:
I checked your log and there are actually no errors, which is also supported by the fact you have R1FA016 on your phone, so step1 from the flashing seems to be working correctly.

So it has to be step2 that is going wrong for you, you do get a menu on your phone right? (that would mean that you did correctly turned on your USB Debugging). The process of step2 involves some patience as FOTA is doing a number of things, amongst others an OTA update to the 023 FW. Make sure you do not interupt anything of this process untill you are presented by the normal SE screen you always get.

And also what Bin4ry just said :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jossgray:

Anyone who is not able to READ A WHOLE POST, should not do this.

I dont like step to step guides because the people stop using their brains.
