you can use many apps which need root access. Just search google for that.

But for testing whether you have root access or not, just download an app called titanium backup form the market. When you open the app, it says "root: OK" .. if not, it says "root access denied" or something like that. Hope this helps :)

is the phone debranded after doing this root?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
I really have no Idea about that dude !! coz I bought an unlocked x10 paying the full price .. :D

But I guess you can remove the branding by the debranding tutorial which was posted in the forums long back. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
I guess now you can change you signature from UnROOTED to ROOTED.. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:

Hi proyaz,

I have a question about rooting the x10i

i have downloaded the ROOT_F2v1 from this link:

rapidshare.com/files/40389214..._F2v1.rar.html

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711907

it contain step 2 and step 3.

1. Question where is step 1, and where can i download it from?

the secound problem i have is, I have downloaded the lates rom from this site:

O2 WWE_R2BA020 - hotfile.com/dl/50672688/da5b9...FA020.rar.html

how to flash x10i with this rom.

In advance thanks for helping.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ashman84:
and another question in addition to this one.. what about the R2BA023 rom? How do we do that? It'd be really nice if the first step was explained a lil better. In all the guides i see they ask us to dload the FA016 rom. And in steps 2 and 3 i dont see any mention of the 020 or the 023 rom. lil confusing tbh
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
Hi Rehan,

here you go.....

Step 1: http://rapidshare.com/files/40436308...16_ft.rar.html

Step 2 to Step 5: http://rapidshare.com/files/40435984..._F2v2.rar.html

Step 4 and Step 5 are for x10a users. You can just ignore them.

Follow my video for additional info.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AZ_10cvd9k

Follow my video and use these files and surely you will root your x10i :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
Dude I'll tell you how its done...

First, we downgrade our x10 to an old rom FA016. Then, we flash it with the new rom which can be 020 or 023, which is slightly edited than the original SE rom.

And then, in the third step, we root the latest rom.

After which you can remove any stock apps or just leave it as it is. :D

Now, in order to flash the latest edited rom (020 or 023) onto your device, you first need to be running an older version of the rom. That is the reason you need to downgrade your x10 first.

Its like upgrading windows vista to windows 7. In order to upgrade your PC to win7, you need to be running an older version of windows which is vista. (You can upgrade to win7 in many different ways but Im just using it as an example here :p)

Hope this might help you. :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rehan_i:
Hi Proyaz,

I have followed the guide from Bin4ry and have rooted my x10i with the new rom R2BA023.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
Okie cool. :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ashman84:
Proyaz bro the links are dead! can you give me mirror links?

EDIT: ok link is back up. sorry maybe something wrong with my internet.. is there anything else i need to make sure I have before i flash the phone with flash tool? latest java etc?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
I guess u go with the R2BA020 ROM for a few days before a new ROM is released.

Because I see people are facing some battery drain issues with the R2BA023 ROM.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
and also, I cant check the links because they are all blocked in my office. Have to check them once I go back home.

This link has all the files for rooting your x10i to 020 ROM.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rehan_i:
Step by Step guide

Download first the Flash Tool from:

Hotfile:

hotfile.com/dl/51430503/37345...16_ft.rar.html

Rapidshare:

rapidshare.com/files/40436308...16_ft.rar.html

then download root tool from:

Version 2: (Step 2-5)

Hotfile:

hotfile.com/dl/51534678/10893..._F2v2.rar.html

you only need step 2 and 3 if you have x10i step 4 and 5 is for x10a

From the First file run 1st.cmd to get Deviceid.

Copy Deviceid to step1 folder and step2(The secound download link) folder

read HOWTO.txt guide

Run step1.cmd

Open the secound download root tool

First startup the phone and activate USB-Debugging:

Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging!

run step 2 and select "update from sdcard" on phone

run step 3 and will root your phone

Remember to set path in evoriment for java: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin

For all X10's ??

Hi Proyaz,

Thanks for your instructive video.! However here are some question by a dummy...

I have an Vodafone X10i buildnr.: R1FA014

- Can I use your instructions for this phone as well..?

- And do I end up with an rooted X10i with an upgrade to R2 rom...???

- Is an upgrade from present (1.6) to a higher firmware also included..??

- and how about SMallbandversion (is now 1.0.14)..??

Apologies if my questions are of simple nature... I know about computers, but I don't know a thing about Andoid stuff...

Thanks a lot,

LodyJ
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
Hi LodyJ,

If you are having x10i, then just go ahead and follow the tutorial without any glitch.

And yes, you will be upgraded to an R2 rom.

But, your Android version still stays 1.6 because there is'nt any Froyo(2.2) rom available for x10 because of some other issues. And also, the baseband version will be 1.1.25 after the root. (I used R2BA020 because it is more stable than the other versions at present).

Download link for R2BA020

Hey Rehan,

Thanks for the steps !! :D

I really appreciate ur effort n time spent on this. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ashman84:
How do we do that??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
Right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environmental Variables > Click on the 1st Edit and paste it over there. Remember to put a ; before the path.

;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin

:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
If you are on win 7 64-bit, then the path is

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin

because u need to install a 32 bit java.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
n also check whether u have jre 6 installed. If not it will be jre5. :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] damirbusic:
When I double click DeviceID I get window saying: "String index out of range: -1" and some empty window that has JAVA icon and DeviceID on it.

What the hell is that ? I have latest Java, downloaded today...

Proyaz, can you please be more specific when giving instructions, there are more options to change and you dont say which one we need to change. I cannot get that freakin DeviceID ! Im on WinXP SP3.

Tnx

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rehan_i:
Have you remember to plug your phone to pc with usb?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] damirbusic:
Yes I did, maybe must I go in that Debug option or something ? I connect it in that SD Card state, just like when I want to transfer something to my phone. This is what I am saying, peopla are confused because NONE of the instructions are really step-by-step, there is always some steps missing... :(

Finally found it, connected phone but didnt touch any options how to connect with computer.

Tnx a lot !
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
Connect your phone using usb and run Sony Ericsson Update Service (download and install it if you dont have it). Click on Update. It may tell you that your phone has got the latest firmware but that dosnt matter. What we are doing here is installing the device drivers onto your system.

Now after this, try with the DeviceID thing again. Hopefully, you will find one now. :D

Now, the reason I didnt mention this particular step in my video is because there was an update as soon as the phone was released. So, many people have already updated their phone and hence their PCs have the drivers required for x10. Well, it dosnt matter now. I hope you find your deviceID this time. :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] damirbusic:
I have managed to do it, thank God an proyaz !!! :)) Can you tell me which market app is the best for uninstalling default aplications like Moxier etc ? I wil lleave Timescape and Mediascape. Titanium Backup Pro or is there something better ? I hope that 023 isnt better than this 020 ? I dont want to go trough all of this one more time :)

Tnx a lot !
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SiRIus[X]:
i'm on R1FA014 currently, do i still need to downgrade or i can just carry on with step 2?

Hope it will help you
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] damirbusic:
Ok, thank you but which one should I leave because of the root stuff ? This Superuser app only ?

Can you help me with Juice Defender and Market problem ? Juice defender resets itself everytime I go on other screen, it just disables and in the MArket I dont have my list of apps.

I think that devs should not put ANY app in this because we are all messed if we restore some apps and settings and putting those apps to install automatically is like having custom ROM and I have problems now. I thank them for their effort but I wish I could avoid this and have only apps that I have in my backup or in my Market list.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
I guess you can directly start step 2.

But if you have any difficulties, just follow the standard method from step 1 :p
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lawlz_xD:
Hi Proyaz, I finally got the Device ID after downloading SE Update Service (like you said), and pasted the file into Step 1/Step 3 folders.

So I should add the "C: part" after what was there originally? If so, could you copy+paste the full path you have?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] damirbusic:
So you are telling me that Juice Defender works on your phone on rooted 020 firmware ? I have made reset of the whole phone and all those apps that came with ROM are removed but still I cannot make Juice Defender to work even when I install it from the Market on a clean phone, with no restore applied !

Anyone can help me please, what could be the problem ?

EDIT: I have managed to make it work, the problem was that we need to REMOVE tick from Root in MyBackup PRO settings and then it will restore apps like it was backed up without root. This problem with Market apps still remains. Also Juice Defender gives some errors when root is allowed, somebody should check that, it says: " Warning, error installing sqlite binary! (chmod).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lawlz_xD:
Ok so I found out I applied the 64-bit java fix incorrectly and replaced the path that was already there with the new path when I should have added it to the pre-existing path. Doh! How can I bring back what was there before? =[
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rehan_i:
If your path is same as mine yes, remember to add ; before you past it.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:

It means its not able to communicate with your device. I think you have tried rooting your device many times by now. So, may be you have many deviceIDs generated. Just check with that and try a different ID this time. Hope this helps. :D

Question 2. : I bought my X10i from Vodafone. Has rooting the X10i have any affect on my contract...??

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ChudleyOne:
Hi all. It may be worth adding a warning or extra link for the x10a users so they're not left with an x10i load after following the video.

I was able to get it done with another method on these boards & the steps are almost identical to yours although spread out over several files instead of 1 download.

If an x10a user starts "Synlar's Newbies Guide to Rooting the X10" at step 6 after using the video tutorial, will it complete the change from x10i to x10a? I'm not willing to try on my phone after the 4 hours of flash fun I had last night, sorry.

Is there a solution without a Hard reset ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] throwback1718:
this has happened to me also... I woke up and my phone was frozen, then I took out the battery to restart it... It didn't help at all. I think I may have to hard reset. I may have to lose my tasks and calendar schedules. AND photos...

No one knows any solution to this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
1. Posts with "Question" as the title are not helpful. Almost everyone in here is lookeing for help and descriptive titles help us help you.

2. After a hard reset you can get all your appointments, tasks, contacts back by simply resyncing to your computer. Assuming you're using Outlook, of course.

3. You should always keep photos and e-mails on your SD card. It is unaffected by a hard reset. There are several thread in here on how to change where your phone stores these items.
