Sorry for the repost, but I think this might be a more appropriate thread to post it in

I have an odd question...I recently updated to R2BA026 and rooted it successfully, but when I try to change the boot animation by rewriting whatever is in the system/etc/semc/startupshow/default folder with the .png files I want to use, the cmd prompt tells me that I my permission is denied. This is weird because I am able to delete the old .png files, but unable to add them. This is the code I am using:

pause

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

@adb shell rm -r /etc/semc/startupshow/default/*.png

@adb push default /system/etc/semc/startupshow/default

@echo ##############################

@echo # LOGO CHANGED SUCCESFULLY #

@echo ##############################

@adb shell reboot

pause

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hey guys and girls,

I need some help.

Used Universal Androot to root my phone today and for some reason, after uninstalling no apps that have *anything* to do with Google, com.google.process.gapps keeps crashing.

It's not causing many problems at the moment, but I understand it interferes with my ability to download from the market.

Any idea on how to fix this?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Diesel984:
I just mentioned this one in the last thread I commented on.

I've gotten through the root steps, And to the point where my phone shows

X10a in the model number or what have you...But I still have no root access..

So Just exactly what is it that I'm missing, Or that I've done wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] curious_yellow_eyes:
I've got an odd one... I rooted using the 016 024 root method, which gives me the debranded version of the same firmware I was on before (Vodafone branded UK generic 024) and everything is working fine except when I get an SMS in vibrate mode, the phone doesn't vibrate. It plays the notification sound in loud mode, and phone calls are unaffected...

I am using astro player for music.. but after root, player plays music only from speaker , even if the headphones are pluged into the phone :(

EDIT: after reinstallation of astro player , the issue was gone. But only till the headphones are not unplugged from phone,

EDIT 2 : I tried meridian player too, same thing , everything works fine untill the headphones are not unluged for first time, then the player plays music only from speaker . and headphone are "ignored"

any idea what can cause it ?

my WIFI can connect to the network but can't receive data from that network..

anyone have same problem?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
Same here...

two questions:

This probably will come -OR- maybe we will get custom rom at this point but is there a real R2BA020 rooted version in the work, or is the current root only possible using the fw from the root guide?

Since lots of questions and comments are concerning apps removed, some might want to keep this others that, would it be hard to create a command file that asks you what you want to install/uninstall in part 4? I know you can modify it manually that's what I did to keep home and mediascape, but not everyone knows how to do so and seeing so many comments questions and threads popping up so quickly, I think that if you guys can do that, half the questions thrown at you would be answered at once :)

I know this is only the beginning, just asking what is 'possible', not begging and whining that I want more :)

Blaah, time to jump the boat and roll back to the SE official software... Anyone can tell me how i can do that ? Tryed by SEUS, but it claimed that the software is allready the newest one...

And some feedback, and why jumping off the root boat (in case someone is interested)...

What i look from the "root" is Custom ROM's, and those only cose 2.2 and Flash...

I like the SE's basic setup, theyve done pretty nice job whit the phones ROM, but.... I want to have the "power" to get rid of any **** in the phone that i think i dont need... Example Mediascape and Timescape.

I dont need to 3rd party homescreen replacements, the SE One is fully functional.

Just my 2cent's :)

if your 3.5mm is not working, go to step1 folder, copy the amss.sin in that folder and put it in step3 folder. Then do everything over again from step1. It's a problem with the driver i believe. Mine is working now.

Went back to SE-Shipped ROM

I've tested the Root-Method and successfully rooted my Device.

After different Tests i can say that i'm now back to a SHIPPED-Rom.

Some of my Apps (like ADW-Launcher, Lock 2.0, Advance Taskkiller, ...) will not work in the rooted Device like in the unrooted one.

Lockups, Errors connecting sometimes to the Network and from my perspective, the bad Timescape-Thing is still there (i know for sure why).

Currently with the official Method here to gain Root i see no really benefit.

Nevertheless i can only say thx to all of the Developers for getting this ***** cracked and hopefully you will find a way to flash unsigned Images.

My Image is waiting to be ready to flash.

need help complething this step....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] thermoska:
because you can not only simply install it ,

do following:

get your device to debuging mode , connect to pc , do not mount the sdcard just connect the phone!

1 go to your directory of step 4

2 win + r, write cmd, console opens.

3 change in console directory to your step4 (cd \Path\to\your\step4\directory)

4 run following commands (enough to copy paste , but line by line)

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

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/Launcher.apk of=/system/app/Launcher.apk

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/Launcher.odex of=/system/app/Launcher.odex

adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Launcher.apk

adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Launcher.odex

adb shell reboot

you are done ! your phone reboots and after start you have launcher back again

you can install anything what(almost I think) was removed during rooting procedure back again with this method.

cheers ;)

it is easy , but sometimes people are just lazy to count on their own heads and brains.. with all due respect , do not want to harm anybody
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ojpd:
So the headphones worked after rooting again using the step4v2... However I just found out that once u unplug the headphone and then plug it in again the headphone stops working. After rebooting the phone the headphone works again. But once u unplug - plug the problem comes back.

is there a fix to this? any help will be much appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] thermoska:
allow debug mode on device,

make sure that device is TURNED ON and connected to pc, but sdcard is not mounted,

if your computer showed after step 1 "New device found .. instaling new device" you have to reboot computer first and then try again it will work

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fig_jam_uk:
Hi guys, ive had a look around but have been unsuccessful in finding any info. I rooted my phone (X10i) last night and was very pleased that it worked, the only problem is now that the phone radio every 20 seconds or so drops for a fraction of a second and then comes back (as you can imagine this can be annoying when trying to make a call) I would like to revert back to the stock rom and un-rooted as its pretty much unusable atm. Here's what I have tried so far:

Run the repair option in the SE PC companion (this tells me to put the phone in flashing mode) looks like its going to work then the SE companion tells me that there is no phone connected.

I have tried from the SE update service but says latest software on phone.

im on T-mobile UK (i know nu-lucky me lol) does anyone have a backup of the original stock rom that i can flash the phone with and un-root it?

The phone currently is running:

Model - SO-01b

FW - 1.6

Baseband - 1.0.24

Kernel - 2.6.29-rel semc-android@SEMC #2

Build - R1EA025

for those who are losing twitter and facebook in timescape as well as in online service account.

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.

ok. what i did last time actually. after i found out that my facebook, twitter and the rest is not available in online service accounts, after i step4-ing the changes, then i do a factory reset, then i finally got them, plus flickr account.

i didn't post that you might need to to factory reset, because the rooting process actually never remove your data, contact and everything inside the phone, but when you do factory reset, you lose them all.

we all know its kinda of boring to put back all those high-res photo and link-in the facebook and twitter to contacts again. :rolleyes:

by the way, if you remove the line in cleanup.sh that remove the startupshow, later you can put your own custom bootup image or animation if you like.

X10a - Rogers. Rooted fine using step 3a and 4 then re-root after 4v2 was released.

Few glitches which I believe are related to the fact we use DOCOMO firmware:

Settings/Call settings/Network Service Setting/Voice mail - most produce "APPLICATION NOT SUPPORTED" - I guess shortcodes are valid for DOCOMO only.

same for "call forwarding" too. Call waiting and caller ID function normally.

It will be nice if we can fix this somehow, as now the only option to work those out is to remember all Rogers short codes..
