Alright, so I got R2BA020 and I want to upgrade to R2BA023. Do I run steps 2,3,4, and 5 (4 and 5 from x10a fix)? Also, I assume the fix for the x10a makes it so the headphones work now?

Any help would definitely be appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] shanhanif:
you need to run step 1 too
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Octanum:
Hmmm, I did root to R2BA020, so do I still have to run step 1 again?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] shanhanif:
i think you do... you need to be back to firmware 016 to get to custom 023... i don't think you can put custom 023 directly on 020... can someone confirm to make sure...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Octanum:
Hmmm, definitely makes sense, thanks! :D

Guess I lose nothing anyways :p

X10i/X10a

step 1 gives you root pre-required formware R1..016

step 2 updates the phone to R2..023

step 3 roots your phone

X10a only

step 4 flashes compatible with R2 baseband for X10a (R2..023 update has X10i baseband integrated - not very compatible with X10a)

step 5 flashes few config files in to make phone look/behave as X10a

Hope this is clear for you now. If you stop at step 2, you will end up with unrooted X10i R2..023 firmware. If you want root and have X10i - you must do step 3 too. If you have X10a - you must continue all the way to the end (steps 4 and 5).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] leobg:
You have done something wrong if you are using latest root (from 03/07) - likely deleted more .apk's than 'healthy'. Latest root does not remove ANYTHING from what is shipped with R2..023. It is the (optional) clean up step that removes stuff.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Alleniv:
Great! Thank you so much, now it's more clear! I have only the final doubt: can I execute directly step2 and stop? And nothing else (step1)?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
No you can't, as the update can only be run properly from the R1FA016 firmware; either over the air, or by the fota.pkg.

If you have an X10a, you can skip step 3, to not have root, but you probably need to follow all of the other steps in order to have a fully working device.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Octanum:
So is 023 the last update we'll be having for a while? I don't feel like deleting everything again if I can just wait a couple days for newest one.

Thanks! :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] unknown13x:

Hello,

I have a new (fast and easy) question: can I perform root with a different (clean) microSD card? I don't want to risk to lose my current microSD card data!!

So is it possible or the smartphone needs a proper card with its own files inside?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] damirbusic:
Why when X10 has the option to install that automatically ? Below APN settings there is setting that the phone gets that APNs from network and every time it does that perfectly.

Hi I just tried to root my x10a with the new files. I successfully got through steps 1 2 3 5. However for step 4 the file "runme.cmd" seemed to be missing.

Anyone else noticing that?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HackitZ:
Hi All,

well i saw the update today and decided the time to root was now, all went well no issue's. But I do have a question.

I have an x10a from rogers and from reading a few days ago felt step 3 should be skipped for the x10a models, so skipped step 3 and then tried to remove moxier mail app and there is no option to remove.

so my question is does step 3 add something needed to have a full root or some other app that can remove the default apps?

If doing step 3 is needed to remove default apps, can i just do step 3 now or do in need to redo any other steps? will step 3 wipe out the phone?

Thanks for the hard works root team.

will be donating as soon as I get back to work.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] synlar:
Step 3 gives you the root for the phone, which would be required for the removal of preinstalled apps. It won't wipe your phone, but I'm not sure if you can just do step3 now, or if you have to restart from step 1 (step1 will wipe your phone)

Now notice that you have to copy your DeviceID again in the DeviceID.txt!

Simply run step4.cmd and wait until it finished flashing.

only for X10a (corrected baseband,because 3g frequencies are different to X10i)

I removed everything in post 6 (apart from trackID as i use that)

The i removed gmail, gtalk, wisepilot (wisepilot you can just uninstall from applications settings)

Mediascape went without issue

I also removed timescape - I did end up with one issue here where once i clicked on a contact name it did not go into the next screen which shows details and the number. I tried to use the contacts/dialer in adw launcher but as soon as i clicked on a name it would force close on me.

The way i got round this was i installed aContacts - free from the market and use this 1/3rd part dialer/contacts app to call and it has worked well and has some extra functionality.

Things that are still there are

browser

calculator

calender

camera

email (sorry did keep this just in case i ever want email on phone, but did remove gmail)

original dialer

maps

market

messaging

original phonebook icon (have not had the chance to see if i can get rid of this as i have aContacts now)

officesuite

settings

sim toolkit

sony ericsson sync

trackid

voicedialer

voice

youtube

I use aContacts for contact management and dialer

I use mixzing for video/audio playback

I use Handcent sms for messaging

The 2 above apps replaced mediascape

I use Barnacle Wifi tether for tethering (this is great!)

So the only issue i had was with the built in contacts which the new app deals with

I hope that helps you :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] damirbusic:
Jeez, I have removed GTalk and got error everytime I start the phone !! I got "com.google.process.gapps stopped responding and needs to be force closed" , something like that so I am very careful what I remove now...I really dont know how did you remove this without any issue since a lot of guys told me that it was stupid to remove GTalk or anyting that is from Google.

I have my clean.bat file at home but i am at work for the next 4.5 hours. But i will post my file code and people can decide themselves...

I do remember i got a bit excited first and removed 2 much and got a similar error and has to reflash but the 2nd time i made sure to only remove gtalk but not the gapps and think i remember gtalkservice... i think as long as you remove only gtalk.apk then its OK but you do have to be careful as one wrong one and its back to the start... painful! :)

Uhh... the phone was working fine after rooting, but is now stuck in a loop of "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly". When I press "Force close", the error repeats. I did not do steps 4 or 5, since I have a plain X10.

When the phone was still working, pressing the Home button would pop up the "Choose application" dialog. I chose the normal Home app ("Home") and checked "Don't ask me again". This also worked, but when I rebooted, the problem appeared.

Logcat (at pastebin.ca/1896102 due to length) has these lines that seem relevant:

I guess the Home app has become confused somehow, but how do I fix it? Can I reinstall it somehow?

Hi guys, thanks for all the huge effort gone into achieving root and putting the guide together! :)

Quick question, I just rooted from the stock Vodafone UK firmware to the new R2BA023 version and now I can't get any sort of data connection.

Phone is an X10i and I followed steps 1-3, didn't bother with 4 or 5 as those are for X10a only.

The actual phone / text connection works okay, just not my 3g.

Any ideas what could have happened and how to fix this? :o
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] matiasw:
have you tried using Auto internet settings (somewhere in the phone settings - sorry, can't be more specific due to the circumstances described in my above message)?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dj_divinyl123@hotmail.com:
Yeah I've run the auto network setup thing and it all came up saying installed successfully, but whenever I go on browser, FB, market etc, it just says no data connection available (unless I'm on my Wi-Fi).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] biktor_gj:
If you have usb debugging enabled, connect through adb, and remove one of the launchers you have (for example, adwlauncher from /data/app). After rebooting, the phone will ask you again which launcher you want to use.

If for whatever reason that wouldn't work, I'd try to move launcher.apk & launcher.odex from /system/app to another folder, for example /system/app/backup, then sync, and then reboot. That should force the phone to look for other choices (like timescape). Either way, I think something on your system partition may have crashed and you might need to reinstall if that doesn't work. That or you have some corrupt config file on /data. If you haven't got much important stuff in there, simply redo the root guide and you'll be fine.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] matiasw:
Thank you! It seems that AWD Launcher works (edit: and default Home works after doing Manage Applications -> Clear Data on it) :)

personal experience and lessons learned from my rooting experience

hey guys,

i am seeing a lot of activity in the rooting thread. i wanted to add my personal experience and share so that a newby like me won't go through the mistakes i went through.

first of all make sure your battery is full. the thread here says it should be at least 50%, but this is just a mere assumption. if u want things to go flawlessly, go for a fully charged battery.

secondly, make sure you have the latest java doanloaded. go to the java website and use the links to download the latest java for your OS - pay attention to 32/64 versions.

thirdly, make sure the path is set for your java files. just because you have the latest java files installed doesn't necesarily mean that the path has been set. depending on your OS the way to check it can be different, so pay attention.

forthly, make sure you remove the battery of your phone and unplug the usb. it is much more important to leave the battery out for more than 5 seconds.

fithly, if you are getting java error messages when running step one, this can be caused by either not having the right java installed, by not having the path to your java files set, or by not using the right id number for your device.

sixthly, at the end of the first step with the cmd window still open, if you are seeing unvalid error messages, this could hint that the battery was low and that the installation failed.

seventhly, if after the first step and subsequant reboot, the phone doesn't boot, remove the usb.

eighthly, if during the first boot after step one, you get the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark, this could mean that the flash had failed and you didn't notice the unvalid error, or that the battery is low.

ninthly, if during the third step, you experience errors in the cmd window, this is happening because when the phone booted up after the second step, you had selected to run pc companion from the phone. reboot the phone and select cancel when the phone asks you to run pc companion.

guys, it is very unpleasant when you spend a lot of money on your phone and after a few attempts, you get the exclamation mark in the yellow triangle or error messages in the cmd windows. in order for your root to be successful, try and follow my steps as i had learned them the hard way. maybe one of the developers can add to my comments and explain why what i am suggesting works.

good luck with rooting ur phone!

looking forward to boot access so that we can all enjoy the freedom of doing what we want with our phone!

guys i need some help here.

i followed the guide and went with the market place paid fix.

but still somehow i cant seems to find any paid applications in the entire market section.

and one more thing. i realize that the root includes some applications like adw launcher.

before i did the root i ever install this application before.when i press on the middle button , it will pop up a window showing running applications.when i press again , it will re-show the option to set either the adw , timescape or the home as default.

but now i have the adw as default in the root . i did a update on the adw using android market.it says its the adw donut standalone.

now whenever i press and hold the middle button it just brings up the running applications and no matter wat i do , it doesnt bring up the option to set default home/timescrape/adw launcher.

so how do i go about that ? or did anything went wrong? cos i already uninstall the adw and reinstall it again but still same.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] j4mm3r:
Simply go to Settings->Applications->Manage Application, scroll down to ADW, click on it and Clear Defaults.

The thing that you saw when you pressed the home button and it gave you the choices was because you have multiple applications available as home. You must have set ADW to the default and hence it never asks you again.
