Yes it is.. :)

As far as we know its speed improvement but at the end of the day its your perogative :)

There's Updates up to R2BA025, just a matter of time...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] RodneyBR:
Thanks for confirming.

WOW... Another update, I just finished the 32, now a R2BA025 is in the works. Worst thing about all these updates is having to enter all you info again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
That's another reason I haven't bothered to root just yet. That and the fact that the instructions are a disaster at the moment.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
R2BA025 wont be coming from us tho' lol... I think dev's are happy with "rooted" R2BA023 for the massess, gives them time to work on other more important pressing matters :p
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
How are they a disaster? They've worked fine for me.

If you're talking about step 4 and/or 5, I don't know about that, because I have an X10i. Just read through the instructions carefully, after reading up about what adb is and what command prompt is or a linux terminal is.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
How are they a disaster? There are 2 (or more) completely different sets of instructions from different people. The instructions are riddled with "Don't use this but here's the link anyway" to add to the confusion. Some of the steps aren't working correctly at the moment. I'm sure I could go on.

I'm well aware that the instructions work if followed, but there are too many other variables thrown in that don't really need to be there. They need a clean up. I'm well aware of what adb and what a linux terminal is. I'm an avid Linux user. The instructions themselves aren't daunting, it's how they're laid out.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying no one else should use them. I'm simply saying that I'm waiting for something a bit more polished. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
I think instructions are fine. If you cannot follow some user have made videos for easyer root!

If you tell me whats not good ,i can make instructions better :)

Hey guys are these the same files?? The one from HF is 86mb while the one from RS is 90mb..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Maedhros:
Any idea anyone please?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
@Bin4ry: My case in point. For any of my other suggestions, read up a post and a few pages back I offered the suggestion to clean it up a bit.

Before I continue, I do appreciate the work the devs have put in. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure the instructions work fine for most people (including myself). I just don't think they're very....presentable in their current state. A lot of other junk in with them. The biggest issue being there are 2 sets of instructions right on the first page by 2 posters adding to the confusion. I realize one is for the 20 firmware while the other is for the 23 firmware. It's still disorganized.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
I do agree that they should remove all links that are now unnecessary. The steps are indeed fine, but anyone that comes in this thread for the first time right now will have a lot of reading to do to find his answer. The first post should contain the current file and detailed steps, the how to properly install java on 32 and 64bits machines, and the how to find the device id. No old files, old links, no links containing bad files.

They'll probably clean all this since this looks like their last root release before they move on to other business, but right now even if most of us were able to root our phone, this thread is overwhelming for any new comer.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
*nod* That's why I'm not in any rush to root. I know it'll get cleaned up. I was just offering a suggestion :) I'm a newcomer in the sense that I've never rooted a phone before, but I'm nowhere near a newcomer to computers/linux etc. Just found it all to be a bit messy.

Any help pls?

First download USBDeview - Here

Unzip it

Run USBDeview.exe as Administrator

You will see all your usb drivers being used on your computer

Highlight and Uninstall all drivers associated with sony ericsson

Right Click on the driver and press uninstall

Once done, Unplug your phone and re-run seus

You should now get the notification of a new device

Re-Install drivers.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ojpd:
Sorry I asked. Both are the same files with RS showing 90134 KB and HF showing 86MB..

Still though 90,134 kilobytes = 88.0214844 megabytes lol Again sorry for not trying them out first before asking.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mattiL:
It seems you have a windows driver problem which in turn crashes windows.

Uninstall all SE software, restart, and check windows event logs for any kind of errors or related warnings.

Re-install SEUS, this will give you the necessary drivers.

Now RUN SEUS and update your phone (does the computer crash with SEUS?)

Windows event logs should, if you are lucky and in the best of worlds, give some insight to what is wrong.

Is it BSODs (Blue screen of death) you get or what?

Is the crash creating minidumps ?

Windows XP, Vista or 7?

32 or 64 bits ?

It might be a conflict between different device drivers too, is your OS updated recently?

Do you have another machine to use for rooting ?

Yes i know, just a lot of questions.

But finding the cause of windows crashing can be longwinding.

I guess the safe way would be a clean reinstallation of windows...

Probably no the answer you wanted.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
Link for fixed step 5 is wrong. This is step 1.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Thanks for advices , i dont get it wrong no worry :D

But atm we have many releases and i just want the links be there for anyone who like to see in old release :D (Thats the reason i just crossed them :D )

If we are done (and SE is done with fast updating [they are fast ATM]) we will cleanup from old files and just provide final root release :)

But now i added R23 to first post with instructions. (By the way im just uploading fix for Step5 :/ )

Hey, I just tried the 023 rooting instructions. It is on 023 alright, but it does not say Generic Global. It says United Kingdom and under Brand it says customised. Was there a different 16 firmware to begin step 1 with?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy8271:
should use global 016 rather than uk 016 in step one i think
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sutekidane:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bmw-boy:
Sorry for my question

I have done the V2 root 29-6-2010 build R2BA020

My internet speed is very slow

Just to get the new update should i download the flashtool aging and the step 2&3 aging

Or one of them

Please advice
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] imir:
Every time you update a root, you have to do the steps all over again, I believe so.

I found that my battery drains a lot faster with R2BA023 rather than with R2BA020, I have no idea why. :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bmw-boy:
ok

but should i download all the file agine
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Fuzalert2k:
Yeah. I don't think you can just reuse the old files expecting to get the latest version of root:confused::D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] brunswick000:
Ok im confused by all the f-ing links on the first couple of pages for this thread. Has Step 5 been fixed as noted in post1? Or, do we still have to wait as it states by Jerp in Massive bold letters in post4? It says fixed step5 in post 1 and just step5 in post4??? Which one do we download??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TechGuru_x10:
So i dont have to download the 1st step as i have the download. From 020 ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] punktde:
i'm facing the problem at step 3, which is always said

Device not found

usb debugging is on, phone factory reset done already, reboot many times, usb debugging on and on and on,.. but still this error

any idea? btw. on device manager, it found SE X10i and ask me for driver... which one should i install?

i've install SEUS and pc companion, but no luck-....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
You must not download step1 again AND you can ignore jerpeleas post as i uploaded the Fix. Thats why its called fix ;)

Regards

Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Yeah you have to reinstall driver! Driver is normally provided by Pc Companion from Phone. Try uninstall pc companion reinstall new version which is provided by phone. And if driver is not installed automatically do it manually.

bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] punktde:
thx..i did it :D

but, how can i replay step 3 from this..

@adb push bin\busybox /sdcard/busybox

@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox

@adb shell chmod 6777 /system/bin/busybox

@adb shell ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/cp

@adb shell ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/grep

@adb shell ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/tar

@adb shell ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/unzip

@adb shell ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/zip

@adb shell rm /sdcard/busybox

@adb push bin\su /sdcard/su

@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/su of=/system/bin/su

@adb shell chmod 6777 /system/bin/su

@adb shell rm /sdcard/su

as on first try, it comes with smthing like permission denied etc. and when i start it back, it says "link failed File exists"

is my X10i root-ed now??

thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Benjn:
Step 2 problem (Error: device not found)

I have the following problem:

Step 2

Error: device not found

I'm running the x10i SO-01B on Docomo in Japan.

I'm following jerpelea's guide from post 4. I installed the JDK, SEUS. Then connected the phone in flash mode to SEUS and ran the updater to generate my Device ID on my computer.

I ran 1st.cmd to get my Device ID (and also found it in the registry, just to double check). I copied this to the DeviceID.txt file (without any spaces) and then placed that files in the step1, step2, and step3 folders (this was a little confusing where it had to go).

I ran Step 1 and it flashed R1FA016 onto my phone.

I then unplugged the phone, started it up, and enabled USB Debugging. I plugged the phone back in and ran step2.cmd. USB Debugging is enabled and my SD card is not mounted.

It says:

Error: device not found

I restarted my computer and phone a few times, trying it again and again. Same error.

So, I started over. I plugged my phone into a different USB port. This then generated a new Device ID (which I grabbed using 1st.cmd and finding it in the registry). I copied DeviceID.txt over again and ran did Step 1. No problem. Then I ran Step 2.

Again, it says:

Error: device not found

Any help, ideas, etc. would be greatly appreciated here. I'm not sure how else I can approach this. I've searched through the forum but all of the advice for this problem seems to be "You don't have the right Device ID," "Turn on USB Debugging," and "Make sure you SD card isn't mounted." I've made sure of these things already. :)

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Benjn:
Nevermind, I'm an idiot. Had to install PC companion as was noted like two posts above this one. haha..

Edit: A few minutes later, I've completed all the steps and everything worked fine.

Thanks a ton for the nice job, guys.

I'd also recommend that jerpelea's post has an addendum to it that just says:

Install JDK

Install SEUS

Install PC Companion

Run SEUS update to generate Device ID on your PC

Then continue with the steps. The massive amount of information in this thread got really confusing. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Higgins12:
When i first tried to connect my X10 with adb (before root was released) it won't work too. But a little bit of searching with Google shows you the answer.

Read this Guide:

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/c...f;jsessionid=ADCB341D870CB759EE20DFD6CE3E6726

everything you need is there. After following the Steps in the document my adb was working. It is never a bad idea to Download the Android SDK and set a Path to your SDK tools folder (where adb.exe is) i your System environment like

try it out it might solve your Problem.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] RodneyBR:
For the X10a.. I just did step 4 and 5 again (after starting from step 1 and stopping at step 3), using the new 5 download and the headphone jack is still an issue :( Is there any way now to resolve this, because I really would hate to have to do this all over again and stop and step 3 again. I'm really getting tired of entering all my setting over and over again.

please I need latest R2BA023 download link. in first post it was R1FA016 ! :(

Install the R1FA016 first, step2 of the http://hotfile.com/dl/51534678/1089382/ROOT_F2v2.rar.html package upgrades the ROM to R2BA023 , there is no other way.

sorry i had to sleep!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] leobg:
new 23 is BLAZING fast! Noticeably faster compared to 20. I'll see how the battery life will be but first impression is great.

Headphone bug isn't that bad (I have X10a). Headphones don't always work when plugged, but after 2-3 tries (unplug/plug) they eventually catch up. I don't listen to music that much, so I guess I can survive until the team sorts out the issue.

Again - great work guys!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MobileTux:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] RodneyBR:
Wait, so we need to cleanup before upgrading, even if we start from step one again?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] leobg:
I have that issue too. But I also had it with the previous version (20). I did not notice it until I started applying latest root. Had to pull the battery to enter flash mode.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] imir:
My batt on 20 was a lot better than it is now on 23... I guess I'm going back to 20, until a fix is released :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] RodneyBR:
Yea, I'm really thinking about doing the same thing :/
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jerpelea:
complain at SE for this
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
Didn't notice any difference from 20 to 23 so far, positive or negative. Just wondering how to make flickr work (you can put this to true in one of the rooting file, the option is shown in online service accounts, but when I click it it does not ask me to enter information and tells me account information not correct..)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Higgins12:
It isn't that bad , let it settle a day or 2. I had the same with .20 the fiorst Day Battery was sucked dry very fast but the second Day i still had 70% left after 9 Hours. Installed .23 yesterday afternoon and Battery was down to 30% within 5 Hours. Today (unplugged at 9am - now is almost 1pm here) I'm at 92% with 53 SMS and 2 Phone calls.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] RodneyBR:
Yea, for sure. Ahh well, not the end of the world, I will wait for the next solid root.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] RodneyBR:
So anyone know of a fix/workaround for the headphone issue (X10a)? So I won't have to root from step 1 again and loose all my setting and stuff again? (This releases to the new 23 root)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] leobg:
I noticed headphones pick up after few tries unplugging/plugging and work fine as long as you keep them plugged.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] RodneyBR:
Wow, now isn't that odd. I haven't tried it, but will. Thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] thefascinations:

Thanks for the root! I will try to root my device today.

I'm using SE X10i Build R1FA014

Will let you guys know if I succeed.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
So far, I've tried every root method. You guys are awesome.

I just tried R2BA023 on my X10a and everything's working great, but I get a weird problem when I plug in the USB cable. When I tried R2B020 before, I noticed that there are now 3 devices when I plug in the cable:

1. SD card - shows up as "USB Mass Storage"

2. ADB Debug - shows up as "ADB Interface Driver"

3. Unknown - shows up as "USB Mass Storage" and looks like a CD drive.

The third one is new. It doesn't appear when debugging is turned off. That's fine, but when I tried R2BA023, it causes it to connect and reconnect over and over for a while. After maybe 20-50 tries, it finally settles down and works properly. It does this every time I plug in the cable.

I didn't see this problem on R1FA016 or R2BA020. The problem starts right after doing step 2. Has anyone else experienced this?

I found a workaround: Go into Device Manager > Universal Serial Bus controllers > USB Mass Storage Device > Properties > Device Usage: Do not use this device (disable). I had to guess which USB Mass Storage Device, since I had two.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] imir:
On my first charge with .20 I got ~60 hrs of battery. Later after flashing .23 I lost about 40% just within 5 hrs. Reflashed back to .20 for now, I'll see if anyone else experience the same issue.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MobileTux:
I have a x10a, I skipped step 4-5. I manually configured APN and everything is working smoothly so why do we need to do step 4 and 5 exactly?

I have read about the frequency vs baseband issue but I don't understand because frequencies is usually managed by the hardware (crystal)?
