I dunno dude, I sure appreciate reading the other probs ppl have. Might save me needing to post and waaaaaiiiiiting for the reply lol..

I have tried rooting my x10a but all that has been rooted is myself! All I have managed to do is change it from x10a to x10i.. All seems to be working but I can't get to step 2 at the very top. When it was a x10a I couldn't get to step 3. So now I am trying to get it back to its original state. If that doesn't work it can go to hell and I quit. lol I'll do it when someone writes a Dummies guide to rooting things.

Happy Days

X10i Rooted with no issues!

Voila.... My X10i rooted and working gr8.... UI is fantastic and super-fast too. Thanks Jerpelea, biktor_gj and Bin4ry! I want to donate :) but do not have PayPal account :(. Can I use my credit card to donate? Is there any other way I can donate.

Few suggestions:

1. After step1 and before step2 one needs to reboot phone. This reboot takes longer than usual, around 20-30 secs. Pls add some mention of this so that users won't worry at that point. I certainly was worried as to why my phone is not booting up.

2. When one runs 2_root_system.cmd on dosbox it immediately comes back and says press any key to continue. The tendency here is to press any key so that rooting can continue. Pls add something like "do not press any key at this moment. Check phone screen and follow next step"

Thanks again for the great stuff!

Xperia X10i R2BA024 ROOTED!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Dave****:
Finally got it back to 26 rooted. I just started again from step 1. One thing I noticed was that after I had upgraded 16 to 24 timescape mediascape and the market wouldn't work and in "about" it said unknown on phone model. But after I applied the 24 26 update they all work perfectly now. Keep up the good work!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
Update to R2BA024 using this download

'UPDATE FROM ROOTED R2BA023 TO ROOTED R2BA024 X10a ONLY ' on the first page:

Then update to R2BA026 using this download

'UPDATE FROM ROOTED R2BA024 TO ROOTED R2BA026 X10a ONLY ' on the first page.

If you want all of the updated apps, then update to R2BA026 via SEUS, without doing a factory reset (To keep your apps/settings), and root your phone again, using the 'exploid' x10 mini root method from here:

http://android.doshaska.net/x10miniroot

(Don't worry, it works.)

Is it just bad timing and the servers are down or is this where I should use the market fix?

And also when I try to run shoot me app it says my phone isn't rooted, but it is because other root only apps work.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
OK. Just as a follow-up, I appear to have rectified my issue by (once again) going through the entire root process on my phone. This time I used the following cleanup.cmd:

@echo off

@adb shell rm /system/app/PcCompanion*

I checked after doing Step 3 - X10a Only! and my Google sync was working fine (no FCs during the setup wizard). So I ran the 026 firmware update, and checked again, all good. So far, no issues. And 026 seems lightning fast compared to 023.

I just want to say thanks again to all the devs involved in creating and updating this root process. Your work is very much appreciated, and though I ran into some frustrating issues, the newer process is easier than the old one was.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
Assuming pressing a key closes the command windows, the it's just like Steps 1 and 3. You need to unplug the USB cable, and remove your battery for 5 seconds. Then put it back in and boot up.

Another thing, when I used the R2BA024, my market worked just fine.

With R2BA024 and R2BA026, my market just can't find some apps, like dailystrip.

Does anyone have the apk for it?

Had the same prob like you, I installed the market fix for R2Ba026 but still could'nt find DailyStrip in the market, so, after a little research searched it in the market as "pname:com.fusetree.android.dailystrip" and voila. :p

[or]​

install Barcode scanner from the market, fire the app up. go to http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/comics/dailystrip_dwn_download.html in your PC and scan the QR CODE there and Voila... :cool: ;)

Can ANYONE help me with either:

1. Pissing this root @#$ off and putting it back to the way it was. I have the original rom but there are NO instructions to do it. Please, a newbie guide!

or Ideally, how to get su/superuser installed properly. I have looked everywhere in this forum and others and it seems NOONE has the same problem. I get to the end of step 2 where it goes to copy the su/superuser stuff to the sdcard but it has PERMISSION DENIED, etc.

PLEAASSSE help. It is an x10a that now says its an x10i and I can use the phone but my net/data services don't work.

Please reply quick lol!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thoughtscape:
OK. First up, I apologise for the tone of this post. I am officially at wits end. I am an x10a and am in URGENT need of help. And p$%^ed off.

I have a sony erricsson Xperia x10a [on three mobile in australia] I stupidly tried to ROOT it [never EVEREVEREVEREVER doing that again].

I followed the guide I get to the end of step 2 where it goes to copy the su/superuser stuff to the sdcard but it has PERMISSION DENIED, etc. So obviously I cannot convert it from x10i to x10a as that part also has permission denied errors.

I have su permisson errors which I CANNOT work out as there is NO information on these forums. How do you get past the PERMISSION DENIED errors when copying the su/superuser stuff onto the sdcard?????

I tried putting it back to x10a settings by flashing it with the x10a [original from SEUS] [from the link on this site] but it

AIN'T

THE ORIGINAL it has some Rogers crap on it now. I don't even know who or what Rogers is. All I know is that my market and all links to the net through Three Mobile are gone and replaced with that Rogers thing.

So now I have an x10a that says its x10a [which is good] that has the original rom [R1FA014] from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683793 that has Rogers crap on it and all the links are to Rogers stuff. AND I CANNOT accesss ANY net/data services.

Someone please reply, if nothing else then to let me know someone is reading what I am writing... Pa--lease. I will be your friend forever. :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Izzy_Deadyet:
Nice instructions and I agree with your feelings on Windows XP 32 bit. I run Vista Ultimate 64 bit and always had problems with flash. Since I use 4 BlacX docking stations, including one for a boot drive, it was easy for me to install XP 32 bit on a spare drive with all of the drivers and Flash working. Now I have a dedicated "rooting" drive I swap in just for the X10 ;)

Only other comment I have is that I've edited the .cmd and .bat batch files. I enter my DeviceID the manual way. Since I use that dedicated XP drive and always use the same USB port my DeviceID remains the same.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Izzy_Deadyet:
This is from Post#1 for a Step#2 problem

If you got a Error your USB-Debug mode doesnt work well. You have to reinstall new Pc-Companion! (Best is that you install this one which your phone offers you)

Rogers is my Canadian wireless provider.

You would have net/data services if you knew the proper APN for your provider. Like maybe Google Three Mobile APN settings?

BTW these are the batch file changes I made for a couple of friends that were having problems with the 024 to 026 update. They were much better off using the manual method for entering the DeviceID.txt

1) Your DeviceID is not detected for you. (Manual method must be used)

2) Both of these files are intended to be run from WITHIN the Update directory

3) These files replace the update_24_26.cmd and X10flash.bat files.

Yup. Noticed that. And it was a pain to upgrade, as every time I tried it would fail on the install. In the end I used TitaniumBackup to uninstall the pre-installed version and install the one from the market.

Oh! Could I also request that TitaniumBackup be included with future firmware updates.

Auto detection of DeviceID

I'm glad that you like instructions

About DeviceID

when I first roted my phone to 023 I also used manual method but 023 was unstable and unpredictable it crashed a lot (I was eager to remove too many applications) and I was unable to flash directly to 024 (yellow triangle of death) so I decided to use 2/3 step method and flash it directly to 024. I also noticed that DeviceID detection is changed so decision was made to test it and it was working so I stick to it (managed to flash 2 different X10i phones to 024 and one 024 to 026) and that is the reason for not mentioning manual method and modifications of cmd files.

Battery status is 73% after 1day 3hours 23minutes (I played Sudoku for about 3 hours since last report)

Greetings Kradovan :):):):):)

Today I'll listen to some music via BT headphones HBH-IS800 and I'll see what happens with battery, and if WiFi & BT + HBH-IS800 trouble is still present (on earlier versions 016 023 024 BT headphones were disconnecting if WiFi was on)

PS

026 RULES just to report back on WiFi & BT + HBH-IS800 status it is finally working you can surf the web via WiFi read email (one day use Skype) while listening to music via BT headset (it is BIG deal for me) and I also noticed that BT range is better I can now roam the flat without loosing headset connection (lot of walls)

Battery drains a bit faster down to 60% now 13% in 90min while using BT (HBH-IS800 can las for about 3 Hours that is about 26% of phone battery) but that's about right (BT was always a bit of a power hog on any phone that I used)

Im going to start from scratch on another machine and see what happens.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rico761028:
Yes you can, but it might involve having to flash the original ROM before updating to 2.1 unless you do the "easy" way to achieve root which you can read in another thread.

I'm sure there will be a root hack for 2.1 as well but it's too early to tell as it isn't even released yet for the X10.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cobrato:
Hi I had same problem as you before and I figured out why:

The 024-026 update command actually consists of 2 parts

part1 - connect the phone with usb debug on (do not mount) and run the update command - it will copy something to your phone and prompt you to connect the phone in flash mode then press any key (don't press any key at this stage - otherwise the process is not complete and you'll get the triangle)

part2 - disconnect the phone, take out battery for 5 sec, then press the back button while connecting the phone, when the green light is on then you press the key - the 2nd part of process will start and once finish you are done.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Izzy_Deadyet:

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
The fix is a modified build.prop file that you need to replace in the 024-to-026 updater. Just download it, unpack it, then grab the file in the proper folder (other X10a for you, since you're with Rogers and thus have an X10a), and paste it into the 024-to-026 folder, overwriting the existing file.
