Too late but thanks anyway, I've done the step 1, know SE companion refuse to make a factory reset... I'll try to do so with omnius...

I got the same problem, resolved by trying all ID one by one in regedit^^

R1ea018 / r2ba020 ?

@Jerpelea, biktor_gj and Bin4ry

Thanks for the root AND update guys, can you explain one thing please:

The root file posted has only one 200MB system.sin file, I assume this is the R1EA018 version.

All the other files barely exceed 20MB, that's why I also assume this is not full R2BA020 firmware, even with the new Step 4 v2 the file is barely 20MB and thus it's highly unlikely that this contain R2BA020 software.

I am concerned about the performance and battery improvements of R2BA020 which I am enjoying now and I'm willing to wait for a root based on this firmware.

Please confirm if my assumptions are right.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fjnty5:
so does this mean i did it right. I have baseband 1.0.24

and build R1EA025...

if i have flash tool do i just need to replace the files inside with the x10a files and then flash to return to stock x10a firmware?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kafej666:
It`s NOT !

It`s only show that the firmware is R2BA020, but its not true !
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Vilam:
Too bad, are you sure ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Umeaboy:
I can now confirm that I've gotten past the first step.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Kherani:
Have the files for the X10a been released yet?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
just going through the steps as we speak. thanx for the

step 1.. i had multiple keys but manage to find the right 1 to work with.. thanx for the heads up on front page

step 2.. did the factory reset then usb debugging.. went well for me

step 3.. successful

step 4.. seems to be goin wel so far
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] thefunkaygibbon:
I have already rooted using this method, but now step 4 has been modified...

Can anyone confirm that I can just run step 4 again, or do I need to go back a step or two?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
No, it is R2 Baseband. The Baseband is very small at all ;) You are thinking of whole system! But systemfiles are exchangeable. So no need for this at this point of state! (Because we cannot modify image directly now)

There are no X10a R2 files. Sorry for that! You have to wait until SE Releases a R2 Version of X10a!

Hm i don't understand french. But you done step1 before or all with Omnius? Have you really flashed R1EA018 before? AND is really SD card inside and detected? (Sometimes it doesn't detect it for some reason)

No Problems here sorry :/ Sure you done your Wifi correctly? Try switching WIFI Channel @ Router or/and not using SPACE in SSID!

Regards

Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Vilam:
Thanks for the help, take a look at my new log please :

(I only used Omnius to make the repair after step 1 :

I download from the decrypted firmware tread this file :

i_WWE_R2BA020_DEK.rar

With omnius I flashed the ~16Mo size zip file named :

FILE_277344165_1277133235000_1271857047000_277344163_16722287_INFILE_LONGTERM.zip

It succed, so now I'm stuck here)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] instigator008:
Try it and let us know! Suggest a reset first...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] greatermushasi:
:(

i'm sure that my settings is correct.because before i rooted this phone i can use this wifi to get data from internet...

already solved...

it's my fault..

sorry..

:)

thanks for your very2 quick response...

:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Higgins12:
Guess you just can run it but if you have run the "old" step4 already you will get some errors , like for the .apk who already installed but shouldn't matter :-)

I installed the superuser.apk before already manual and only needed the fixed .prop files , so i pushed them manually without running the full step4 file again.

Open the .cmd file with a text editor and you can run those steps which you need manually.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
well seems to have rooted it for me.. anyways want a fresh start so using pc to format my sd card.. fat32 would be correct right?

theres 1 thing i dont understand is the firmware shows up as r2fa020, not r2ba020.. any particular reason why? just curious lol
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
This can't work!

This used command we need doesn't exist in R2 Firmware. That is beacause we have to downgrad to R1 First!

AND you have to flash ONLY R1EA018 BECAUSE it ONLY WORKS WITH THIS ONE!!!!!

If you really need Omnius to flash you must flash R1EA018, nothing else!

If done -> Step2 will work :)

So at this statement, all I need is to reflash with 18 (this one ?:

with Omnius and restart the step 2 ? or should I restart from the begining ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Flash this R1EA firmware and proceed to step2 :)

But don't forget to restore defaults!

Restore defaults ? What do you mean ?

Merci beaucoup :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tom-Helge:
I'm asking again, since i didn't got the step 4 to work.

Then is there a way to manually manage the programs you want to remove from your XPERIA X10?, like the Moxier things and the NTT DoCoMo stuffs and that?.

Like a PC program or something.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pepsi20185:
Thanks man what would be really helpful thanks!!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Yep you can. Just open cleanup.sh in Texteditor and delete the "rm xxxxxx" lines for the programs you want let stay on phone!

I just applied the new step 4 v2 and it worked, but many files were already on phone so they failed to copy (which I believe is fine). I also noticed while it was updating that a few files succeeded as well.

I'm not sure if this was ok to do or not, but phone seems fine.

I'm also not sure if some of the files that were not overwritten should be or not. Can someone confirm about step 4 v2, and what is the correct procedure to apply it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cas77per:
so i needs to knOw how can know the flash file that supported araBic ?

please answering me quickly
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zoz33:
I can see that the command/exploit allowing you to root the X10 is only available in the R1EA018 of the S0-O1B and is not there in the X1i firmwares especially the R2 one.

That means that we'll be waiting for the S0-O1B R2 crossing our fingers that the command is not removed! Hope you can find a/that command in the X1i firmware that would allow you to root it.

Thanks again, and of course if there's anything I can do to help just let me know :0)

maybe ur 3g is on yet your APN isnt set up?

Will there be a way in the future to root without using the USB? Cause right now my USB port is unable to work.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
what i dont get it with the root, step4v2.. why do i still have timescape? and is there no way to get rid of it cause they dont show up in uninstallers?

Also the mediascape is slow at starting up and it seems like its the old version because it doesnt have the glow features and stuff from the new update?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
Mediascape runs your 3.5mm jack and so is needed, timescape runs things deep in the phone too and so is needed. Once we get to having custom roms it can be changed till then we need them.

Would love step4v2 on another host, its just stupid the speed im getting.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] McAn:
What's up with:

and the cleanup.sh from step4v2
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jerpelea:
timescape is an dep for dialer

wo it you can not dial for now

mediascape can go but we want to provide an working Music.apk

progress

step 4 now gets only root

step 5 is cleaning including mediascape and face recognition (resource hog)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
fair enough

but

1) step4v2 still has headphone issue.. i see someone mentioning something on the first page but not detailed enough.. how do i specifically flash this 1 file only? (amss.sin) and

2) why isnt the latest mediascape version on it?

thank you for your time!

yep and paying for premium just makes it slower..........FAIL
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:

Hello, thanks for de root,I root with the Step4 v2 and the headphones do not work, the music only comes out for external speakers, I have tested with several music players and spends the same, then any solution? ,
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xd4d3v:
Guys, can someone post mediascape back, please?

I cant find it on my SD :-(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Diabolico:
It actually isn't, I ran root with the old step 4 and not the step 4v2 and I still had my earphones running fine. Was using MixZing to play my music and as soon as I plugged in the earphones the soud went throught the earphones and not the phone speaker. And yes I rooted succesfully.

As seeing know that people even after step 4 v2 have the earphone problems I am sure it has nothing to do with mediascape, perhaps it might be a problem between X10a and X10i?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xxsashixx:
I can vouch for this aswell, running X10a took out mediascape via root explorer, headphones still works fine

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xeviro:
you need to edit the file named default.prop in step4.

check inside the sys directory.

you will see something like this.

ro.facebook.enable=false
ro.twitter.enable=false
ro.picasa.enable=false
ro.flickr.enable=false
ro.youtube.enable=false
ro.semcsync.enable=false

set to 'true' to enable the service you like.

then run the step4 again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Diabolico:
Please go do some reading yourself, it's NOT mediascape that is the issue as it was proposed by the step 4 v2 rooting solution!

That means I flash again from step1,step2,3,4?

As flashing just one file?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] eviltuna:
For those having problems, after doing root a few times I've come to the conclusion that flashing with the Flash Tool will give you problems as after doing root 4-5 times with both flash tool and Omnius I've found that everytime I flash with the Flash Tool, there are problems with the phone, while flashing with Omnius gives a flawless root. Icons/shortcuts are always messed up with flash tool, and things don't get installed/uninstalled properly, so for those having issues, try Omnius to flash Step 1.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] figofigo:
i flashed step 3 only and it works

but still those error... should i change on 1st option to "Mount" ?

btw. i deactivated my firewall already, just in case ;)

EDIT: I got it!!

1. Connect phone to pc

2. change to usb debug

3. do factory setting

4. change to usb debug again

5. run step 2,.. and voilá it runs

on this every step, do not disconnect/pull out usb cable
