I can confirm root works - using it with Titanium Backup and Android Commander (PC). I'm trying to install the new superuser apk too.

Before I forget - thanks for all of your hard work!! :D

EDIT: I am unable to copy the apk to /system/app/ with a PC, but it works via the phone. (IT WORKS NOW)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] brunswick000:
I know that a lot of questions are getting tossed around here but I have one quick question to add to the list.

I have an X10a currently flashed to Telenor X10i R2BA020. Since im flashed to X10i do I have to wait for the X10a files? Just wondering since I was originally X10a (maybe dumb question??)

OH an congrats on the ROOT gentlemen. Donations coming your way as soon as root is achieved for me. Thanks again for all the help.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hvsanten:
Mine is rooted, thanks All, works perfectly.

Only thing is, I have some icons left from the Telenor rom. They are not linked to appps anymore. But the icons are still there. And I cannot remove them.

Everything else worked fine.

Another thing, my settings are still there. I didn't have to log in to Google again. Mail settings still correct. Even my wallpaper was still there.

On my Nexus after a wipe everuthing is gone. Maybe that's also the problem of the icons that are still there (but not the original Icons, but a generic Android icon)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] :
Someone with root can tell us if the camera app can geotagging via network or gps in order to know if we have the lastest fixed in R2 firmware with this root method? It can be done trying to change the background in timescape too :) thanks ..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OrionBG:
right click my computer, Properties, Advanced System Settings, Environment Variables, System Variables then look for "Path" and add the path to the end of the line!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OrionBG:
Yes the same!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MrPappy86:
The easiest way make a restore from settings and run everything again.

Thats worked for me.

UPDATE for the guide.

Run step 1. After the flash finished, make a restore form setting, and run step 1 again and after step 2, step 3, and step 4.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] son1c:

P.S: am i correct, that i have to NORMALLY boot the phone and activate the usb connection like i have to work with pc companion? if not please correct me

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fjnty5:
Well i did the root for the x10i on my X10a today and it is alot faster, x10a firmwares are usually behind..and get released late. so might as well just stick to todays R2 UK root until you see the x10a root come out and have time to check and see if it is "worth" redoing the process.

Cheers!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sahha:
plz help me

how i can repair my phone ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fjnty5:
you need to add that text file into folders 2 and 3 with your device id included, that should clear up your problem my friend:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mayamo:
whatt.... i'm so confused :confused:

okay.. . so i downloaded the new file that's about 50mb.. the one named Root_FV2 or something..

that file only has step 2 and 3.. but you mention step 1 and device id!

where do they go?? do i have to get the files from before??

also while i was waiting for reply.. i just checked on my phone (after downgrading to uk generic r1fa016 using jerpeleas omnius file) and there was an update.. now my phone's r2ba020.. should i reflash it ? or can i just run the step2/3 on this new one..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fjnty5:
Sahha there are a few ways you can fix this problem

1st off try plugging your phone into seus and it should say you have the latest firmware, and if its nice it may give you an option to repair it. try that see if it works

otherwise download jerpleas flash tool and the generic decrypted rom you want to flash on your phone

download flash tool ---Extract it to desktop or any other location you want

1.) open up the new folder that you just extracted flash tool to, and what you want to do now is delete all the files that have .sin at the end of it but leave the one called Loader.sin (do not delete this one "loader.sin")

2.) then extract the firmware file you just downloaded and extract it to desktop as well, inside that file are 2 .zip files, extract those as well and then take all those files you just extracted from those 2 firmware files move them into the flash folder you did in step 1

3.) now you should have all the files setup next read the Howto.txt file to get your device id (if you havent already got it) and then put that into the DeviceID.txt file

4.) now put the phone in flash mode and run the x10 flash.bat file and viola! should do the trick!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fjnty5:
ok my friend go to the first page and post number 4 where jerpela updated today, use his flash tool its much easier, then just do the same thing you have been doing, place your device id into that DeviceID.txt file and then put your phone into flash mode and run the x10flash.bat file should take you back to the R1 firmware, then make sure that deviceID.txt file is in the step 2 and 3 folder you just mentioned above and then run those after your phone boots up from step 1.

EDIT: there you go http://hotfile.com/dl/51430503/3734556/i_R1FA16_ft.rar.html

that is step 1 all you have to do is edit your DeviceID.txt file in that folder, put your phone in flash mode and then run the Step1.bat

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mayamo:
Hi fjnty5,

thank you so much for helping me.. except i'm a little lost here..

It was written in the guide that I can flash to uk rom using either ft or omnius..

i picked omnius only cuz i've used it before and i didn't want to d/w 200mb flash tool..

could you tell me a way to get this to work without having to do flash tool and all?? my hotfile d/l limits already reached and it's really really slow..

right now i have r2ba020 uk generic f/w installed on my phone.. and i can always go back to r1fa016 uk generic f/w, which is the one i got from jerpeleas omnia upload in post 4..

the guide says i can use either.. and it doesn't mention x10flash.bat nor deviceid....

did the devs just forget to include it??

when i run step 2 i get something like [intent .. blah blah debugging.. blah .. kill [a] press any key blah...] (oh and i ran x10flash.bat from step 1 of the orignal root, and i also put deviceid.txt in both new step 2/3 folders)

ugh....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bazzatron:
Cheers, that worked.

I realise the process isnt going to be the same for everyone, but it shouldnt be all that different either. I cant see how the dev could have followed those steps and successfully rooted the phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fjnty5:
Using flash tool is just the same as omnious you can use either or to return your phone to the original state

R1_____18 firmware, i just prefer the flash tool :)

once you get back to the firmware you wanted from omnious you can follow this guide to help you root for the newest firmware that was released

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714004

hope that helps
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fjnty5:
That is great news! YEAH..idk but our respects should go out to the devs for the daily updates and keeping the root alive :) i for one am very thankful for that

and yes i know the process is different for everyone but its always solvable............"scratches head"..hopefully haha ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mayamo:
hmm i guess i'll just have to download the ft version....

omnius version doesn't have step1 in i_R1FA16 folder.. it just has two zips for omnius...

ah well.. i'll try tmr morning.. time for bed :P

Edit: sorry didnt read completely, i dont know how to fix that my friend, im sorry. maybe talk to bin4ry or jerp for suggestions?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fjnty5:
Those TWO zips are the firmware files lol

ones the sony ericsson firmware the other is the android file.

you well have omnious flash those two files for your phone

that is = to flashtool step 1
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mayamo:
yeah, that's what i thought.. except i'm saying it doesn't work when i click step 2 ... after flashing using omnius method..

no menus pop up on my phone for me to choose the 6th option.. (and i know what it's supposed to look like cuz i got the original root working a couple days ago)

so yeah.. i'll just wait til tomorrow and try the ft version...or see if anyone succeeds using the omnius method..

meanwhile, i'll enjoy my generic uk firm hehe
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] RodneyBR:
This new R2BA020 GENERIC UK root is amazing, once I figured it all out! I believe it will dramatically increase battery life, at least that's how it's looking for me ATM.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fjnty5:
well the reason it might not be working is

1.) after you flashed with omnious did you let it boot up the phone then did you activate USB debugging under Settings/application/developlment/Debugging

2.) make sure you put the deviceID.txt file into the step 2 and 3 folders as well

so just go to step2 folder/ right click and click new text word document and name it DeviceID then place your Device id in that folder like you have done on previous rooting method and Viola should be good to go,

put that file in folder number 3 as well and all should go smooth

DONT get angry cause step 2 takes time to load everything, took me 30 seconds on step 2 before my menu popped up.

Goodluck
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] synlar:
Hi guys,

I haven't rooted my phone yet.

Do any of you know if a factory reset is needed for the new root method, and if the new process removes everything from the phone? Should I make a backup of everything?

Thanks, looking forward to all the hardwork you guys have put in!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
The build.prop and default.prop files that are included in the new (R2BA020) root are actually leftovers from the old root. If you take a look inside, you can see they refer to Docomo. If you look at step3.cmd and Runme.cmd, you can see that they

aren't even used

. Editing them and running step3 again won't do anything.

I already had everything working on Rogers. I didn't have to change anything. I already restored all my apps with Titanium Backup. It was working fine. However, I wanted it to say "X10a" instead of "X10i", so stupidly I went and modified these files and then copied them to the phone (using code from the old root). I got a big

yellow exclamation mark

after rebooting... Now I'm starting over from step1. :(

On a related note, there's no reboot command in step3 (new), so just ignore the "Device is Restarting...." comment and go on.

Help Please!

I'm not so sure if I have rooted my x10 correctly using the new 3 steps posted at the first page (post #4). Below is what I did:

- I have copied the Deviceid text to step 1 and 3 just like what's written

- run step 1 and all seems to work

- run step 2 and it goes to the process

- after that when I run step 3 it says it fails. see attachment.

My software info after this whole process is

Firmware version 1.6

Baseband version 1.0.14

Kernel version 2.6.29-rel, semc-android@semc #2

Build number R1FA014

Have i rooted my phone successfully or have i done something wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andyx8:
It is a failure from the start.

After step1 you should have R1FA016.

After step2 you should have R2BA020.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
Start with the new step 1, and follow the instructions, that's all.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
Change the Device ID to the one that appears when running the '1st.cmd' file, then continue with step 1, following jerpelea's instructions only.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
1st.cmd and Step1.cmd are both included with the firmware files. This is why you should follow the instructions jerpelea posted only, even if you already have a copy of the R1FA016 firmware.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
Awesome!!

Oops, step4 is supposed to run X10flash.bat, not Runme.cmd. The fix is to edit step4.cmd. The easy workaround is just to run X10flash.bat instead of step4.cmd.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
A factory reset shouldn't be needed - I didn't do one.

But it won't matter much, because after you complete step1, your firmware is nearly at 'default' condition anyway.

After all of the steps, you will need to reinstall your apps, and changeb your settings again.

To avoid this happening again, once you have root, download Titanium Backup from the market, and backup your apps and settings. Then if a new rom is flashed, you can restore them more quickly, using that app.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] davethedroid:
still can't get it working the deviceid.txt is in all 3 step files as is the how to file but i still keep getting the errorr device not found multiple times when i get to step 3, steps 1 and 2 run fine
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
It looks like your phone hasn't even been flashed yet.

Firstly, copy the device ID after running 1st.cmd, into the DeviceID.txt of both the step1 and step3 folders, replacing the old ones.

Then try re-doing the steps - they should work.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
After R2 update chances are it will have changed your device ID, re check that if you find it is the same restart your phone and try again, if it still wont find it re start your PC/Laptop and try again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
For you too - firstly, copy the device ID after running 1st.cmd, into the DeviceID.txt of both the step1 and step3 folders, replacing the old ones.

Then try re-doing the steps - they should work

P.S.

1st.cmd and step1.cmd are in the i_R1FA16_ft.rar file (Flash tool R1FA016 firmware)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
Use the Fix for step 2 in my Sig, the issue is your missing some @'s from the code and so its struggling to run the fake FOTA update and so your not upgrading to R2 and so step 3 will not work as you need to be on R2.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pmp.s:
need help

Sorry for the spam! i tried to read everything but everyone has something different so what i did i got my device id i copied in step 1 and 2 and 3 when i do step 1 i get see pic 1 . then whe i do step 2 ( usb debug is enabled ) it says error device not found. however i still tried step 3 but i got the same thing error device not found.

however i see spare part and better terminal when i go to better terminal i do su it says acccess denied when i go under about i see model x10a

basband 1.0.14

build r1fa014

so how could i get spare parts if teh device was never found?

btw i did step 4 and 5 too for the x10a

thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
I don't know about how this happened, but try changing your DeviceID.txt files again, by using the one from 1st.cmd (run it again, and copy it to txt files - keep doing this until everything is finished and successfully done).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pmp.s:
So when i run 1st.cmd i get string index out of range: -1

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
I don't why that is happening - I'm sorry but I can't help you move any further...

Does anyone else have any idea what to do about this?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ranblv:
did you perform one restore/upgrade before?

only after the first time SEUS runs it adds the driver and ID ( I think)

at least that's what worked for me.

Download:

1. http://hotfile.com/dl/51439377/ad7d58d/i_R1FA16_omn.rar.html (for Omnius)

2. http://www.omnius-server.com/

What happened to the Arabic language

In the last FULL R2BA020 GENERIC UK ROOT we no longer see Arabic language
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
if you use the now root from start to finish you will be fine.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Diabolico:
The Arabic font is not installed with this new version of the rooting. The problem though does not lie withing the font but in the lack of supporting native Arabic (or Hebrew for that matter) language in the Android versions 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1. That lack of support prevents you from being able to read right to left for instance.

However there is some development going on for these android versions. Check out this topic on XDA http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581304 for supporting Arabic at least on the browser (including the installation of the Arabic font). Although developed for the G1 it should work on all 1.6 Donut editions.

Also check out http://ardroid.com/ (I don't have a clue myself about what they are writing there as I don't understand Arabic :D), but they should have some info/topics about Arabic support on Android. They also started a feature request at google to add Arabic support.

Hope this will help you guys out a bit.
