If thats your problem then try the Flash version 2.1 provided by Bin4ry....which doesn't require any root access before update and even you got latest version of firmware+root(Automatic)............I think that i'll be better option for you!!!!!:D

Pro: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826455

Mini: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825664

In order to use the flasher just try these steps:

1)Download SEUS and Pc Companion and connect the phone with them at least once (just connect)

2)Make sure you have the latest java installed on your pc.

3)Download the flasher from Bin4ry (Just make sure you've downloaded the mini and not the mini pro edition).

4)Download from the same thread a Generic 2.0.A.0.504 FW and put the folder with the .sin files inside the flashtool's directory.

5)Run the flashtool, press flash and then choose the name of the folder, where the .sin files are in.

6)While the phone is off, keep the back button pressed and connect on usb until the green light is on.

3)Download the flasher from Bin4ry (Just make sure you've downloaded the mini and not the mini pro edition).

Why?!?!?

My phone is a x10 mino pro.

I've have to download de mini pro edition, yes????
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Yes you need to download mini pro edition.....becoz there is a slit change between Mini and mini pro Hardware.....

What is suppose to happen after ./exploid and toggling the wifi?

My cmd says rootshell access denied. They don't even prompt me for the password. Can someone assist? :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
didn't know that wats the purpose of ./explode and toggling wifi...... but i know that at the newest firmware provided by Sony Ericsson stopped access root permissions through exploide method....so we need flash method for rooting the phone.....and as you root it will give you Admin permission to root.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Phreakie:
sorry for the offtopic

i own a xperia mini pro and the network it's locked on vodafone spain. this will unlock the network so that i would be able to use other sims? or what should i do to free the network?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] teraboi:
Hmm you're suggesting that I flash the phone to an earlier firmware, then flash it with the new firmware with pre-root? Is there another flasher because the one by D_d doesn't seem to work for a lot of us. :/
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Clarification!!!!

Hey i never said that anyone need to downgrade......i jst said that if you wanna use the flash provided by D-d then you guyz need a rooted firmware first before you flash or upgrade ..........So thats it,the flash provided by Bin4ry is a rooted firmware(didn't need any root before).............

The difference between the Flash of D_d gives you root+X Recovery preinstalled(As per you need a rooted version to flash to this firmware)......And the flash of Bin4ry is a normal flash you did n't need any root before updating firmware(It provieds you root but not xRecovery)

Both are custom ROM's and both got latest firmware i.e. Android 2.1..............

So if any of you wants the version provided by D_d then you need root.............If you didn't got the root and still want latest firmware with root then try Bin4ry flash......

Just wanna help you guyz.....becoz i was in the same condition before you guyz

Rest is up to YOU!!!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] simonqwadjke:
stuck at ./exploid

ok basic things first

im using win.7 (64)

my phone is xperia x10 mini pro (u20i)

i have SE PC compan.

i have all the drivers

i have all the files

all the files are on the phone and in the right plase

i kno how to use cmd ;P

ok i got most of it so far i just har a problem with "./exploid"

"Immediately after the next command, you will need to disable and enable the wi-fi using the power widget on the phone:

./exploid

then run:

rootshell

enter password rootnow

prompt will change to # - now we have root"

ok i am stucked at "./exploid" because it never makes the file "rootshell" so when i type rootshell it says "rootshell: permition denied"

and i've tryed to type "./rootshell" instead to se if that worked.. it only said "./rootshell: not found"

i would like to get a detailed explernation to how i can fix this problem.

many many thanks to the person who will guide me through this problem
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Dude let me clarify you one thing that the Exploid Method is no longer can root the X10 Phones....becoz of the latest firmware provided by SE (update 2.1v.1),which wouldn't allow anyone to get in into root shell.........So as a Sol. try bin4ry flash tool that will make ur phone rooted and let you install custom ROMs too
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rykel98:
Hi, thanks for reading my post and helping us Android newbies through this forum.

I am interested to root my Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro with "One-Click" through Ubuntu Linux 10.10. The phone is running Android 2.1 by Sony Ericsson and I am an experienced Linux user. I have some questions at the moment:

1. Which root file should I download, and how do I know that it is the "latest" version of itself?

2. HOW do I actually use the file to root the phone using Ubuntu?

3. Will the file BACKUP my current Android system BEFORE rooting so that I can go back to a "factory state" when I need to reverse my decision to root?

4. Other than "root", is there any other terminology to describe the act of updating the device to a later version of Android without waiting for the manufacturer's upgrade? (so that I know that "root" is the actual thing I wish to do)

5. Any other issues to take note of before/during/after rooting?

The reasons for wanting to root my phone is to try out the new Android 2.2 or 2.3, use the phone as a wifi tether (similar to Nokia JoikuSpot), install programs to the SD card and understand the process of rooting more.

Thank you for your assistance and kind words!

launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool)

and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"

Please also update your PATH environment variable to

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LighScan:
You can very easily gain root-access by running SuperOneClick (please, run the latest version, you download it here: [link]

And if you want to go even further: install CMW (you already have root-access if you run SuperOneClick), back up your data with CMW and install a ROM of your choice (like MiniCM7 Pro as I have). It's really not that difficult at all. Three days ago I was a complete newbie here, yet I managed to install the new ROM and it works perfect (many thanks to the devs of course!)
