Some things to know...

WARNING: If your phone starts rebooting, doing strange things, or gets stucked in the middle of firmware update or rooting process, check if the back of the phone or the battery is overheated.

I found on my phone, when internal battery temp is above 38ºC, the phone starts rebooting when there's a lot of network traffic or when the cpu is working hard (when it boots, when updating firmware or when installing a lot of applications in parallel). If you see this behaviour, first turn off your phone, take out the battery, and let it cool down. After a few minutes try again. Or, if you can not wait, put it in fron of an air conditioner and repeat the operation :P

(not joking, where I live there are 30-36ºC these days and my last root attempt required my car's air conditioner blowing up at 16ºC. After 7 tries all crashing, this last time the process went smoothly).

You can check battery temperature by launching Dialer application and typing: *#*#4636#*#* and then on the menu, tap on battery information.

Applications that aren't _absolutely_ required:

I have done a bit of cleaning in this last rom. So far everything is working fine, no problems with audio of any kind, freezing or strange behaviour. These are the applications I have removed from /system/app:

AndroidQuadrapop.apk
EManual.apk
EManual.odex
FaceRecognition.apk
FaceRecognition.odex
LearningClient.apk
LearningClient.odex
MediascapePluginManager.apk

TimescapeThemeIndigo.apk
TimescapeThemeIndigo.odex
TimescapeThemeOrange.apk
TimescapeThemeOrange.odex
TimescapeThemeSakura.apk
TimescapeThemeSakura.odex
semc-backup-rachael.apk

Feel free to try for yourself, but before you do a 'rm', I would advise you to do a folder inside of system/app, and simply move all you don't want there. For example:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

cd system/app

mkdir Temp

mv mediascape* Temp/

After you checked there aren't any problems, simply do rm -rf Temp.

P.S.: Mediascape is NOT required to correct audio routing between speaker & headphones. This problem was caused by differences on the kernel module that controls audio routing and the newer baseband. With last root version you shouldn't have any problems using Android's original Music app.

First of all...THANK YOU GUYS. Secondly, if I am on a X10a should I skip step3.bat?

EDITED: Now that its been a few days, just wanted to edit this post and emphasize that everything is running great on my X10a. Never thought I'd see the day where this thing was rooted! Nicely done.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hondaguy:
great news! what about x10a versions? i have a rogers x10a in canada (running brazilian R1FB001) and want to root it. if i can also root mine i will be happy to donate too
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
For X10a skip step 3 or exchange files with files from X10a Firmware:)

I update the first post later! :)

default password for root?

Have downloaded connectbot from market and did use it to SSH my local Linux on X10i. When I run commands like 'find' it says "permission denied" (other commands like ls, cd etc work fine). Am assuming user I have logged in with does not have sufficient privileges to run find. Once I finish all the steps and once my phone is rooted successfully, what will be a default userid/password for root/su (probably root and not su. I think Linux OS has root and Unix OS has su)? Once I know this ,I can SSH into phone OS using root user and can possibly run all shell commands. Appreciate your help on the same. Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mmb.prog:
thanks a lot
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] biktor_gj:
If a command doesn't exist it replies with permission denied, you should try with 'busybox find'. You can also do a 'ls -R', or do a symlink 'ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/find'
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Izzy_Deadyet:
Fantastic job to all involved. I'll be going to the PayPal link after I post this.

Also, Kudos to the active forum members assisting in applying the required steps.

I do have a question. I assume that I should "not" get any available software updates from SE since my X10a is now rooted?

Also, how does this now affect a possible release of an upgraded version of Android if it comes directly from SE? Would I be able to use an SE release of say 2.1? (Hopefully 2.2)

Just a couple of quick comments to my fellow Canadians, I noticed some having a problem with step 4. The step4.cmd calls a file that isn't in the step4 folder. It should call x10flash.bat instead of the runme.cmd, just run that x10flash batch file instead.

Also, I had an issue with 3G as the 3G fix step5 setup the APN as GOAM with the internet.com server name. I use the rogers-core-appl1 server. So it's a 30 second manual fix.

Top notch job on the root.

what about default username/password for root?

Thanks again. Your response was helpful. What about another part of my query. Once I complete rooting I will have to SSH into local Linux using root/su/admin, right? In that case what would be default user name and password I should be using to get onto my phone OS as super user? Appreciate your inputs on the same....

There isn't any MAJOR difference between 020 and 023 apart from the unnoticeable speed and a little better battery life. :)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mano1982:
Hello :)

I've rooted X10i with 023 firmaware & very happy. Have 2 issues though :)

1- Whenever someone call me, phone rings & vibrates & screen lights, but it doesn't appear who is calling. Instead i've to swype screen lock, then monster lock & then i can see who is calling, but then i've to swype screen lock again to answer a call. I've to unlock 3 times to listen a call, it's weired :( I can remove monster lock, but i need it coz i don't want someone to check my mobile.

Before rooting, i had to just swype one time to answer a call. How can i fix this problem?

2- Battery life is not as great as it should. Andy777 stated that rooted firmaware & UK Generic 023 don't have good battery life. Nordic Generic 023 has great battery life. Reason is that in rooted 023 & UK Generic 023 phone doesn't sleep properly. What's you opinion about that? My battery life has not improved after getting rooted 023.

Ok, thanks I will give it a shot. Do all the steps again ???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
You mean if you do a factory reset? It will still be rooted, but you'lll lose all your apps, including SuperUser and Better Terminal. You won't lose su and betterbox. You can run step3 again to reinstall them, but you'll get a few errors when it's trying to install betterbox (because it's already installed). Don't worry about the errors, and don't forget to re-enable Unknown sources and USB debugging beforehand.

DON'T run cleanup.cmd again, because you don't get any apps back when you do a factory reset. Anything you deleted (like Moxier, etc.) will still be gone. If you have an X10a, you don't need to run step4 and step5 again (but you can if you want).

I've done it on my rooted X10a R2BA023 before. I recommend running Titanium Backup before doing any of this.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dundun1701:
Yeah, all the steps is better because it make sure you have the clean version and erase all the error files

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gavriel18:
Did you turn on notifications in superuser and allow root access when titanium backup requested it? In the terminal type su and hit enter. Then hit id then enter. It should say uid and gid are 0, and in parantheses it should say root. If it does you have root privileges. Hope this helps :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Izzy_Deadyet:
My battery life still isn't very good. I do notice some changes made by the firmware mind you. Before, with 014, when I set the display brightness to auto it pretty much maxed out the display. Now when I set it to auto, in the same room conditions, it dims from the approx 35% I had it set at to prob 25%.

I still don't think the X10 has the battery life it should. I'll either have to go for one of those Mugen 3600mAh batteries, (like carrying a brick in my pocket) or see what the Dell Thunder and Lighting do when they come out.
