I love this rooting method and have used it to go from 016 to

020

023

024

026

I got the yellow exclamation mark the first time I tried it but never since then.

026 has the Wifi bug which is a huge pain, so I am trying to go back to 024.

I have tried the latest method twice now (F3V2) and I always get the problem of Timescape and the Market force-closing.

Now for the biggest problem : the Market fix app ALWAYS kills the phone and gives me the yellow exclamation-mark!!

I have seen other posts with the same issue and just wanted to let people (Jerpelea, etc too) know that the latest files are very unstable and the older roots were far better.

If anyone has a better way to get to 024 please let us all know here.

Thanks to the rooters for their efforts, but something has gone wrong here.....:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Hi,

thanks all for the feedback i was away sometime :)

Marketfix is nomore needed because Google has activated the Fingerprints of the firmwares.

For the unstable firmware i will look. Me personally has no crashing etc. Problems with 26 firmware. But i will look this days.

Regards

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] damirbusic:
Can someone explain me why should I go this way to root the phone and not regular firmware update/restore and root it with one click .apk app ? I really dont understand so if someone cares to explain me.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7490733#post7490733

If I have understood it ok, I flash it with latest firmware, download this root app on the phone, press root and I have rooted phone ? Later I can apply that market fix.

Tnx
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] McKebapp:
Hi Mate, nice to see you around again. :D

Are you done with the tiny Xerperias :rolleyes:

I can also confirm a problem with jarpaleas "FULL UPDATE FROM ANY ROM ANY VERSION - ROOTED R2BA026" 3v3 root.

I tried to flash my nieces X10. But I always got force closes after doing the last steps. In the end I flashed the generic .26 and applied one click root.

Not that geeky, but it worked :(

Afaik, you don't even need the market fix that way.

At least I didn't need it for my nieces X10...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] phuangk:
I think there is an typo in Runme.cmd that could have caused the problem.

@adb push app\build.prop /sdcard/default.prop

change it to

@adb push app\default.prop /sdcard/default.prop

I am also having problem with the deviceID scripts, so I removed the scripts and manually put my DeviceID into DeviceID.txt file.

Hope this will help.

Recently updated to R2BA026 via this method and the market update to get media scape working, however, the gmail app appears to be broken. It worked ok at first load, and then when I had it stick at "sending" went in and cleared the data for both gmail and gmail storage. The gmail app now sticks at "waiting for sync." This was never an issue with 023. I'm using as SO-01b in Japan. Any ideas what might cause this?

Hi!

I've got a question concerning my build number and i didn't know where to post it, so i hope that's the right spot.

When i look up my build number unter settings-->about it says R2BA024, but when i enter the service menu (through menu, back, back, menu, back, menu, menu, back on lock screen) it says R2BA026 GENERIC, what i expected it to be, because i used the update rooted R2BA024 to R2BA026 files from this thread.

So i think i should trust the service menu right?

Cheers

Hi.

Probably it is my first forum I am attending

I got X10i with locked SIM network. Some guys unlocked it, I think by a code.

Question: If I root X10i, will it go back to SIM locked state after all?

Have anyone tried to root after unlocking?

Thank u all

when i run through the steps mentioned on the website i get a bunch of errors

step1 - runs fine

step2 - the flash works, but when i get to the superuser part it says device not found. I installed pc companioned, i also put the phone into flash mode to ensure drivers arent missing or anything and i still get this error

step 3 - i get this same device not found. But i put the phone in flash mode anyway and run though the install. It seems to install 026 but still in x10i mode.

I would like to add another SUCCESSFUL root obtained on my X10a

I spent a few hours, went through a few installs of the root, it kept falling over on stage 2 and wouldnt mount, but i managed to find a way to make it mount, so the "root" was able to go through successfully

As soon as my work pays me tonight, i'll continue the tradition of successful root access on the phone and pitch a few $$'s the devs way, great work guys

And also, as i have seen all the errors people encountered on the flash process in my time getting it to work last night, I dont mind lending a hand to others to get them going as well :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nutterpc:
This error happened to me too. Whats happened is, you have tried to start the downgrade flash too quickly for the device to be able to successfully open a channel, eg hitting enter AS SOON AS the green light comes on.

Press Back, turn the phone on, wait 2seconds, THEN hit enter, it will proceed

"Press 'Back', turn the phone on, wait 2 seconds, THEN hit 'ENTER' it will proceed" <<< How will be able to perform this task / step if my phone is in "Flash" mode ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nutterpc:
What that refers to, is when you launch step 1 from windows, and it then says to put the phone into flash mode, that is where u turn the phone off, press the back key, plug the usb cable in, wait 2sec after the green light comes on, then hit enter

my bad, shoulda explained it better, lol :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Because that's "just how it works", a bit like SEUS does.

IS it still possible to remove the 3 SE SYnc services? And not have something else fail on me, lol

Since the traditional debranding method doesnt work anymore, im guessing following this guide would give me a debranded firmware? After I follow this guide, then connect my phone to SEUS, will I be able to flash it back to stock/unrooted firmware? Im only after debranding my phone..

How do I know if my x10 got successfuly rooted and updated to android 2.1?

Because if I go to ''About Phone'' it say it the 1.6 version, with kernel 2.6.29-rel and R2BA026. Does that mean its rooted?

If that means its rooted (I was able to uninstall some software like facebook, twiter,etc), how come when I try to open Titanium Backup it says ''I could not acquire root privileges. This application will not work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox...''

---------------------------------------------------------

Starting from the top: Android 2.1 is not out yet, and if you have a rooted phone, run busybox installer, it will come up and tell you that you have a rooted phone

And if you have that error coming up, it means your phone did not correctly install/flash the latest rom, or you have not installed the 1 click root

Great post and great advice/information. I have completed step 1 successfully however step 2 just keeps saying device not found? I have enabled usb debugging mode. I dont have to put the phone back in flashmode do I?

For anyone having trouble with step1 running vista you have to disable User Account Control by Start>Run>Msconfig>tools>disable uac

do i need to mount sd card to do it or not? ive tried in flash mode, mounted, unmounted

I have now rooted successfully I had to install pc companion again.

--------------------------------------------------------

In regards to when you get the error device not found, it is merely the cmd file, relaying the fact it cannot locate the device, as it has not yet registered the device

Way to fix that is the leave usb debugging enabled, plug the phone in, and wait a few moments, then run the necessary file, you wont get it again :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Umeaboy:
Or you can check the Device manager (under Controlpanel) for errors conserning USB. If you you have errors, just uninstall all the errors & click the Update machinedevice products.

Let Windows install the drivers & identify the phone properly until it's finished & then plug it in, do not mount, but enable the USB-debugging.

That worked for me.

2. Step 2 had to be run 2 times (for whatever reason) to get option 6 to work (the text in the instructions for step 2 should say that it's option 6...that was a bit unclear until I saw the picture.);)
