(This is directed towards Pete too.)

I'll be updating today, to see if graphics problems have been resolved.

Also, that developer problem was around before the R2BA023 was released (look on xperiax10.net), so the problem should be fixed.

I also found out that as a part-fix for hi-res games, you can install 'Spare Parts', untick 'compatability mode', and then restart. Some games, and other things will be in a higher resolution. But it causes graphical glitches for some apps too, so I want to see if this has changed, as well.

Any idea whats changed in R2BA023? Branded or Generic?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jnd16d:

+1

what is the different from 020 to 023?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
Do you have compatibility mode "checked" in spare parts?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PeteGraham:
Pretty sure that relates to the deviceID being incorrect. Not sure if the experts would agree with me but my first course of action would be to try a different USB port on the machine and if you're using a USB hub, stop using it and plug directly into the machine...

Have you installed SEUS and as such, the USBFlash drivers?

Also, if you run SEUS does it detect your phone?

Finally, did you use the fantastic Java util to get your device ID?

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PeteGraham:
Aha! I tried on 020 with compatibility mode off, and I now have a two thirds papertoss screen. Hmm
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] AndyD777:
I don't have spare parts installed as I have removed it and Paper Toss works fine on R2BA020 :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] KingMike67:
I ran into the same problem

It won't let me post the link, but check the thread "Root Xperia x10a for Canada" and check out the 10th post

You have to edit the cmd file, changing the 3rd line to X10flash.bat

Hope this helps

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Kingcool88:
I cannot change background with the new 023 root:(

But Paper Toss is running in full screen, when i have Compability mode OFF in Spare Parts:)

EDIT:

Background changed after reboot! It was my Backup that caused the problem:) All back to normal now!:)

I am a complete NOOB when it comes to Android,User of WM for years

Can one root an xperia x10i without flashing a ROM?

If so can someone help me in a step by step approach?

will be very grateful
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Vin87:
With 023 and compatibility set to 'off' Paper Toss only fills halve of the screen. With compatibility mode set to 'on' in spare parts Paper Toss plays just fine.

I skipped step one where they flashed the Generic UK R1FA16, because my X10 was already on the R1FA16 (Dutch version). So I only ran step 2 and 3 from the R2B023 package and it worked like a charm. I kepped al my data and stuff

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aydahm:
I'm quite sure that this is a super n00b question but, if I root the device now while running R2BA020 firmware, when a new firmware update comes, how do we update the phone?

will SEUS or OTA remove the root? will we have to update and then root again?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mattiL:
Another painless upgrade to 023.

Thanks for the great job !
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PeteGraham:
I think Bin4ry and the gang are working on a method to resolve this. They've also released a rooted ROM for 023 so that will be the upgrade path for now I think.

Bin4ry, please correct me if this is not the case. It's just what I read from one of your other posts :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
I think theyre working on something else at the moment ;) so R2BA023 will suffice... plus it'll give you lot a break from flashing lol new firmware everyday!! :D

Just tried the new 023 root, everything worked fine, but when I did step 5, my phone got bricked, I will try it again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] superleeds27:
If you have an X10i you don't need to do step 5.

You only do step 2,3,4.

Am i correct?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qasim786:
Hey,

i have an x10a and i am struggling with step 4.

Basically i have ensured the correct device ID and properly installed java. however,

dos will ask me to start x10 in flash mode... thereafter it goes through a ****load of code and says ###test at the end, but doesnt complete. I know it isnt completing becaue everytime i then try step 5 my phone will brick...? any advice... ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ehko:
Gonna have to say this is not an isolated issue. Same thing happened to me. First four steps went smoothly. The fifth one caused the phone to brick. I tried this off of an upgrade and a downgrade back to the stock rom. I am gonna do 1-4 for now and wait to see if there is a fix for the last one before I do it again.

Hello now ive got my new update for my x10, is there just to root it after ? i mean just to do step 3 ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] eviltuna:
Use search, its been asked like 100x. And the answer is, NO you must do step 1 and 2.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] eljelali:
im really sorry :/
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qasim786:
eviltuna...

i am getting the same problem.. what does the end of step 4 look like for you?..

i am getting a hole lot of code and then it tells me to press any key (like pages and pages of code)... one of the last lines says ###test...

then when i do step 5 my phone will not turn back on (yellow triangle)...

are we having the same problem?... cause i've tried rooting for about 4 hours now.. i keep running into the same problem and kind of feel like blowing my head off
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mattiL:
If you already, surely, know your device ID, then you can ignore this error message, and forget about the java app.

The java app is only trying to read the device ID (probably from the registry)

I have not tested the java app at all, and have no problem rooting my X10i.

Got my device ID from reading in the registry, but you should make sure that you have been using SEUS at least once, doing all steps in the SEUS.

This will for sure install all device drivers you need and update the registry with your device ID.

what is the different between

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qasim786:
any luck?.. i perosnally think its a problem with step four which isnt allowing step 5 to happen.. i have beein running into this problem for 5 hours now... any ideas on how to fix it?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rosco16:
difference is 023 to much speed and the voice in calling more clear

In my opinion
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] figofigo:
i must make step 1 2 3 from the begining ??

thats meant that i will restore my x10 and all app ..... will be removed again ?

or i can make only 1 step to make R2BA020 root to R2BA023 ???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ehko:
Step five only seems to set up the APN and change the name at any rate. What I have done is just do up to step four and manually enter the APN. If you don't know what that is. Its basically the address that is used to connect to the 3G network. So far that seems to have worked for me. The only thing is that my phone is now branded as an X10i. I guess we will have to wait for one of the devs to comment on this. Although the phone is quite usable at this point for me.

By the way this is the APN I used.

Name: Rogers Internet

APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn

Proxy: Not Set

Port: Not Set

Username: Not Set

Password: Not Set

Server: Not Set

MMSC:

MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69

MMS port: 80

MCC: 302

MNC: 720

APN Type: Not Set

Cheers mate,
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qasim786:
Hey thanks,

i ended up doing the same thing... manually inputing the numbers.. its weird because i went through the log for step for and it looks as if there were errors along the way... whatever the case, it seems to work now... thanks a lot for your help and quick response.. cheers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rosco16:
YES ALWAYS step 1 first step 2 etc
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ehko:
No worries xD I have been sitting here since I realized that this was actually an issue. But my tinkering seemed to have paid off. Let me know if there are any other problems you discover. Because if it is bricking from just setting an APN and changing the name. Then that does suggest that there is an issue burried around somewhere.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
Hey guys....I just want to clarify a few things and possibly offer some suggestions.

I was originally going to wait a bit to see if someone would be able to crack the bootloader mainly because I was hoping to bump up to 2.1 or 2.2, let alone the fact that it's been a mad house around here since root hit. I've changed my mind and decided to go ahead and attempt root but I've run into a bit of an issue.

The so called "3 easy steps" (or 5 in my case due to owning an x10a) have turned into quite the nightmare. I'm technically savvy/knowledgeable and have no issues with the instructions per se, but the instructions are starting to become confusing.

Example: In the new instructions there is an issue with step 5. In huge bold letters it states to skip step 5 until a fix is applied. Sounds easy enough, until you read right below it (Fixed) Download (steps 2-5).

Here are my suggestions. Asign one person to go ahead and release instructions, cleaning/weeding out old information entirely and or very clearly stating that the old information is old and not recommended.

Or, have someone do a cleanup regardless of who's posting the instructions. It's becoming cumbersome when the original plan was "Easy 3 step guide!". I understand a lot has happened over the last few days and the devs are just trying to keep us up-to-date, but in doing so there's more confusion than necessary.

All that being said, I'd love to root my phone with the latest 23 update, but I can't do so until the instructions are better laid out. If anyone has definitive instructions on rooting an x10a from Rogers, I would love to see them!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
QUICK QUESTION!

If i already did the root, and i want to do this new one (new fw version apparently?), do i have to do it all from step one again or can i start at step 2 or something?

I have an x10a, so do i still flash the UK x10i file you posted?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rosco16:
All steps again from 1 initially
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
and i still flash the x10i firmware supplied in step one or do i find the x10a version?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rosco16:
in x10a phones you have step 4 y 5 for change baseband

yo must begin from step 1

And otherwisefor other question

And no ....you have not reset factory
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Zer0_:
You said to not use step 5. Is this regarding the f2v1 root or the new root (F2v2)?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] arizhasan:
moxier and others are removed, but no root!!!

i have the same issue, using x10i, used the flash tool method in step 1, didn't worked, then tried the whole process again using the omnius method. step 1&2 work fine, but in step 3, first time i try it, it shows a quick dos window and goes away, but moxier and other apps are removed, so you think it has done the job, right??? but it doesn't do anything else, like installing the apps, so i installed them all myself, but still no go, titanium and set cpu both say i dont have root. when i try step3 again now, it says that the file or folder does not exist in the dos prompt, repeats itself about 6-7 times and then quits. i tried using the command prompt with admin privileges and now the dos prompt stays but after saying that the said files and folders do not exist, it just stays there and no rooting is done.

any one have any idea what needs to be done.

btw i had R1FA016 rom in omnius method.

Hi guys, could anyone possibly tell me the differences between R2BA020 and R2BA023? I'm currently rooted on the 020 UK generic and all is good, so is there any point at all updating to 023?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] arizhasan:
no root, but apps removed

ok, i have tried it once more, no go. this time, i did steps 2 and 3 from the admin command dialog step2 worked fine, but step 3 again failed to root, see the attachment for details.

guys, does anyone has managed to find a solution to this??? i have tried this procedure 4-5 times and have done everything i possibly can, but cant get through this.

EDITED : EUREKA!!!! finally did it. and in a strange way though. i had completed all the steps as mentioned in the tutorial but the situation was the same, apps removed, but no root. then i downloaded the first file mentioned in the guide on top

his is Idiot proof in 3 steps (thanks Jerpelea for that )

First download this file and extract it:

NEW ROOT : (It will let stock apps, for cleaning Rom check jerpeleas post #4) [reupp because 1st package was not correct]

HOTFILE:

http://hotfile.com/dl/51439105/08944..._F2v1.rar.html

this file also contains only step 2 and three, but i only tried step 3, and finally got the device rooted, checked the rom version, its the r2ba one, checked with titanium backup, it has access to root and superuser popped up to inform about titanium as well. looks like everything sorted out in the end.

so in essence, i tried omnius method for step 1 in the second tutorial, step 2 from the second tutorial, but step 3 from the first one.

hope this works the same way for anyone else who is having the same problems.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] malrok37:
Hi

I previously rooted my phone with the former method with no problem.

Today I decided to do it again with the new files (ROM R2BA023) but, whenever I reach step 3, I get the error message "error: device not found" for every adb call.

I tried to do the entire process serveral times, to factory reset my phone, to reboot my pc but with no luck :(

Oh and I am on windows 7 (32 bits)

Would anyone have an idea?

adb is running but simply doesn't find the Phone. When you connect it to USB you get the message "USB debuging connected" in the status bar on the Phone ? You rooted the Phone once successful or is it the first try ? I remember that i had difficulties with adb too but i forgot my steps to fix it , it was somewhere here in the Forums.

Is the adb.exe in the step folder present ? As Windows seems to be unable to find the adb command. I had the AndroidSDK installed already when i had my HTC magic and simply added the Path for adb.exe to the System path , therefore no trouble from where to run commands.
