Can we now have black backround color in Menu ? I hate this blue one !

Tnx
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ShinAbo:
ok i solved my market prob. factory restore + step 4, skip 5 & 6 (for some reason those steps make it force quit !)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gr3yh0und:
^ So after step 3 you do factory reset?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Brownie2k:
Gr3yhound,

I've not tried doing a restore right after step 3, but it's worth a try i guess. The last time i did it like -

Step 1 (Restore after)

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

*Didn't do step 6*

Had market problems so i then did another restore, followed by Step 4 and 5 again. My phones working fine now, Market is fine, still rooted properly, Phone, SMS etc is working too.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] figofigo:
i must make step 5 ??

it gives me

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dtopler:
Can someone post a screenshot of the new black theme after step 6? Don't know if I should flash it or not. Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Brownie2k:
dtopler,

I can't provide a screenshot, but in my opinion, it wasn't anything special, the setting screen had a black background, the normal blue SE background remained, and the bar at the top (Status Bar?) was black with hazy blue icons. I weren't too fond of that to be honest. Apart from that, everything looked the same.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dtopler:
Thanks!

I get a little excited whenever a root app askes superuser for root access.......

really happy except that I still can't figure out how to turn on channel 13 wireless or indeed to turn the "regulatory domain" menu option back on.

anyone know ?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Alphading:
guys, i got this error at the very first step

please help.....:(:(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mattiL:
That is not an error at all, flashing finished ok.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Alphading:
ok...thanks mattiL

silly me.....

^~^
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Brownie2k:
Alphading,

I got the exact same error, and all worked out fine (apart from the Market issue, which is fine now). It says Testcmd07, so i'm guessing it's a test of some sort, the error severity says none too, so i wouldn't worry too much about it, however if i'm wrong, can someone please correct me. If your phone has flashed ok, started up with the docomo logo etc, just continue on to step 2 as normal.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xeviro:
just tried to rooting again with the new v3 updates.

i actually suprised with the numerous application included inside.

my opinion with v3, i think the rooting process starting to get sidetracked.. no offence.

first, the facebook, twitter, picasa and semcsync will be disabled because of default.prop during step4. i think some of us is actually using this online services.

second, the cleanup.sh removes a lot of application which i actually think nice like the pocket_rashinban and trackid. then its also delete the ntt-docomo startupshow image.

not all of us hates sony crap that much. i use timescape, and mediascape a lot.

the rooting kit should not be biased to clean up all this crap just to make the phone fast.

come on, we buy xperia x10 because of timescape and mediascape, no?

for most user which doesn't have expertise and just do what the rooting kit ask.

will see a lot of things get removed.

i think the rooting kit should focus on rooting without removing anything first and

includes only apk that is related to rooting like set_cpu, superuser, and such.

then those so call addon and customization should not be included in rooting process and released as seperate package.

just my opinion.. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gr3yh0und:
I just redo step 1-5 and no luck my music and photos can't be detect by timescape nor music nor b-tunes on file manager.

and Market gives me this FC.

Hope this will be fixed cause I really can't use my phone
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
@gr3yh0und.. people have jus mentioned that situation.. they solved it by doin steps 1-3, then factory reset then 4-6..?

Edit.. might have to miss out step 6 during the process..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
Totally agree, said something similar in another thread. This is root. The main idea here is root, everything else should be in another thread, this would keep lots of questions away from this thread.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dtopler:
I did 1-5, had the market problem + music app problem, so I started over, did reset after 3, and only applied 4+5. Still have the problem. Not sure what to do...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy8271:
i agree !

the guide and method in this thread is way over complicated in my opinion

in first post how about a guide to just root the phone and elevate to superuser ? ie steps 1 , 2 and maybe 3 ?

thats all 'most' people need in the ROOT GUIDE thread .

we dont need to remove and add apps that are causing many people bugs or are what people dont want

it could literally be as simple as this if people follow the onscreen prompts

get device ID using readme file and put it into 'deviceid' files in step 1 and 3 folders

run step 1 file

put phone into USB debug mode , settings > applications > usb debuging

run step 2 file

run step 3 file

fini

afterwards users can download an uninstall program from market and delete whatever they want at there own risk

no bugs , no moaning about ''where has xxxx app gone'' and no complications
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Alphading:
the beginning of the step 4:

there wrote: device is restarting

but my x10 isn't restart, is it normal?? can i just continue with it???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:
Agreed,

This root is more like a cutom ROM. I would love to delete all the apps I don't like my self. Like uninstalling the apps from market which you got. .

I know, the process is more complicated than it shows.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mattiL:
If you read closely, you will see that is indeed not an error:

ERR_SEVERITY NONE; ERR_STATIC NO_ERROR

And at 1:46:21 you have write cmd 10 (finish) now flashing is done successfully!

Worry no more !
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jerpelea:
next update will be root only !

we hope to release tonight new

full R2BA020 GENERIC UK

no more docomo stuff

just rooted and that is all
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
It's not complicated if you know what you're doing, it can easily causes error messages if you don't uninstall/reinstall the proper java version, if you modify the sh files with notepad without knowing you're corrupting them by doing so, I still managed to keep what I wanted and make it work, but this thread is getting far to big for to many different reasons. It would be a lot easier if there was a thread for root only, then a thread for removing apps, then a thread for customizing (step 6 hasn't been explained much except that the black display provided is ugly and looks like an app that couldn't load textures hehe).

Everything in the process created has an utility, but it created a mess being all put together...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy8271:
great news :) dont forget the superuser.apk !

a brief guide would be perfect. the community could then work on a FAQ or guides for which apps that are safe to remove but there shouldnt be many problems with a simple firmware and root procedure
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
Fantastic :) imo this will be less bugging for you too guys :) You guys well deserve the money we sent you, thanks for your patience and hard work once again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
That's really good news.. u guys rock!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy8271:
that stuff should be in a FAQ though not in the actual guide. it was just confusing lots of people , the step 4 was my main problem anyway and jerpleas already said non of that stuff in next guide

thread needs tidying up when new files/guide comes too. maybe even deleted and restarting completely people are still getting confused by the 2 seperate guides as it is. and when the simple guide comes they will be even more confused when they read this 90 pages of complications
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:
That is why we believe in you. Thank you for the efforts.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] :
It's nice to hear it.. it's what I waiting for. Now I'm ready for donate :D but please do not delete the new fixed apps like timescape and camera. Or make something to install it later..

need my phone to read x10a

To be honest i am really happy with this update and it is amazing that this kind of rooting is even possible.

My only problem is i really need my hpone to read x10a rather then anything else.

We have a option here in canada that is called rogers on demand and its a pay service that allows us to watch fifa world cup live on our phone. However now since my phone is no longer a x10a it does not allow the program to work.

Please is there any fix for this?

Do you use the step2.cmd and step3.cmd from the ROOT folder, to do this?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:

How about an automated busybox/superuser install option as a base?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] glitchexe:
I actually had the same issue. What I've done is just adjusted the build.prop and default.prop that were included in step 4. Basically you just have to change all instances of X10i to X10a. Also in the build.prop file change

ro.product.brand=docomo

to

ro.product.brand=SEMC

Start a command prompt on you computer and go to one of the files where adb.exe is located (I recommend you use the one in \ROOT\step4\ for simplicity) and run:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

adb push sys\default.prop /sdcard/default.prop
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/default.prop of=/system/default.prop
adb shell rm /sdcard/default.prop

adb push sys\build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/build.prop of=/system/build.prop
adb shell rm /sdcard/build.prop

adb shell reboot

Let your phone reboot, and then check the system settings. It should read as an X10a.

Worked perfectly for me.

You type it in the RUN on your windows and it shows you all the registries. But if you have downloaded the latest root then go to the 1st Folder and run Device ID.jar and it will give you the number you need. Then put it into the step1/DeviceID.txt instead of what is there. then you can start the process from step1.
