Yes, both methods will give you the same root.

And you have to update to 026 first before applying this 1 click root.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
i did the method described in the package posted in the first post (the one made by Grospolina) but now i cant do adb commands :S

i did the usecure option included but still no luck. i can run adb shell, but any other commands (i.e installing a theme) doesnt work (just get errors saying no such file or directory)

any help?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] the_ahmadzais:
i did everything when i open RootX10a_v2.cmd and i enter 1 for the 26 fw and it gives me a message like .

is anyone else having issues with superuser asking for permissions EVERY time an app tries to use it?

i always select the remember option, but for some reason i get constant prompts to allow or deny when an app tries to access superuser.

am i alone on this? i had uninstalled the one that came with the root package and installed the latest one from the market. thats the one giving me issues
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mattiL:

Update deviceID.txt with your device ID.

Install and run SEUS, Sony Ericsson Update Service, should do it for your phone.

I rooted with Exploid OCR (One Click Root), and then added some software, like ADW Launcher.

Later I noticed that some, most, of my contacts were tripled, or doubled.

Removing all contacts and re-importing them solved the problem.

Question... sorry if this is long/confusing

Just wondering if it is possible to root with this method, install Titanium backup, then backup all phone settings and apps, THEN wipe phone/debrand/flash a newer firmware, root again, reinstall Titanium, and then recover all your apps/settings?? Hopefully that is clear?

Basically I want to be able to update my software (because I'm still on Rogers branded 020 in Canada) and retain all my current phone settings. I wanted to wait until bootloader was cracked too but I can't any longer lol. I'm just curious if Titanium will make a folder on the SD card or something that won't be wiped during flashing of new software that I can then recover everything from.

Thanks for any help guys :)

I tried this last weekend and finally got the update 026, so far I got no problems :-D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] junkfilter:
I'm getting "error: device not found" when attempting to root. Why is this? It flashed to 26 just fine.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
you must be canadian because your logic is perfect :P well only thing you dont need to do is "wipe phone" just backup with titanium, if your on stock rogers you should be able to update to 026 without debranding to a stock rom. so go ahead with debranding method to 026 and there is a x10a ver of generic 026 on the debranding tut. :) then run the apk one click root and your done my friend!!

cheers from cold lake alberta!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rvictorg:
whoa sweet, thanks a ton for your reply! (us Canadians, perfect logic and politeness lol sorry!)

just to clarify, how can I update to 026 from stock Rogers 020 without losing all my settings? Doesn't the debranding method flash an unbranded 026 rom consequently wiping everything off of my phone? I'd like to be able to use Titanium to backup EVERYTHING and then once I'm up to 026 and root again, boom restore everything from Titanium and now all my apps/app settings are identical but I'm running the newer software. Make sense? At all possible?

*UPDATE* ok last night I used the X10Root.1.0.6 file found here and everything worked great! :D So much easier than before. I installed Titanium Backup and it's working fine...as well as Barnacle AdFree etc. are working flawlessly too. Many many thanks to all who contributed to this. Next step for me is flashing new firmware then rooting again and seeing if TB can in fact restore EVERYTHING for me.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
I can't remember if it wipes from your sdcard or not but you can always back up using titanium, then copy your titanium backup folder to ya pc/laptop, go through the update process then later copy your TB folder back to your sdcard!

Hope it helps!!

I think you get permission denied because your phones su command needs to be modified, suid, with the command chmod on the phone (in Better Terminal window),

"chmod 4777 /system/bin/su"

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
What's the error? I just tried installing DarkBlue and it works fine. I did notice that it doesn't work if you try to run the "Dark10 Series Installer RUN SECOND" shortcut.

Thanks. It installed fine and the root works!

Unfortunatley I have no data or mms connectivity. I went to mobile net work settings > network operators > and selected rogers. Next I went into APN settings and entered in:

But I still have no connectivity and made no typos! This worked for me after my last root?

rogers 020

hey i have a rogers x10a with 020. i tried the one click stand alone root, installed it with astro then opened and clicked root. it wrote a couple of things, then said wifi on, wifi off and then it removed everything it had installed (for examle it said removing exploit), asked me to reset phone but didnt root. did i do something wrong? do i need to have access to wifi?

thanks for the help.

EDIT: ok i just downloaded titanium and removed the moxier garbage so i guess my phone is rooted. only problem is neither seus or the phone let me get 026... still stuck on 020. shouldn't rooting allow me to get the latest available firmwarE? also i deleted urmusic (annoying rogers music app) but it keeps popping back up, any hints for getting rid of it? and lastly what other apps do you guys know of that are useless and can be removed?

thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
Hi,

you'll need to debrand your phone to get the firmware update. The update probably isn't available from Rogers (my provider still hasn't made any updates after 016 available).

Here's a thread about which apps you can get rid of:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hush66:
If we had used the previous versions to root our phone, I understand that we have to "unroot" the phone first before applying the newest X10Root. Any possibility that in the next version, we are able to perform an "upgrade"? For example, I used version 1.0.6 to root my phone. Now I want to use version 1.0.7, so that I can have Superuser in data/app. But that means I have to "unroot" (i.e. reflash to default firmware and lose some data like my playlists) before I can apply version 1.0.7. I don't want the hassle of having to do that.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ardf69:
It's not neccessesary anymore... you can dowload Superuser from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828

(unzip su-2.x.x-cd.signed.zip, exctact Superuser.apk and install as a normal application) or if you can see in the market Superuser (my X10 doesn't find it) install it. With the unroot you don't loose anything.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ghidda:
Hi, before my compliments for your work

imho the apk root is a good apps for the rockie users

maybe is a good idea to increase power of the x10root.

for example a kind of X10Root pack

The new pack will made the root and installing the other app neeted to starting use the root

example included the Titanium backup or another one (max two) utility root apps

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
I think that ardf69 means this:

With secured shell (su only root) you cannot run batch files easily (or at all, I think)

With unsecured shell (sh root) you can run batch files with commands involving the 'system' folder (partition?) on the phone. And any app can take advantage of this, making it a security risk.

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

So, I think ardf69 is asking for a quick way to enable and disable sh root permissions.

I believe you would need to manually enter the APN details. You should search using the keywords "APN Rogers" and you should then be able to get the manual settings.

Once the new update arrives, you should be able to simply plug your phone to your comp and update via SEUS. After you have installed the update, you would then have to re-root again using this X10Root apk.

Unluckly adb doesn't run as root so you can pull that file. A solution is to do adb shell, to move the file to sd and then to do a adb pull of that file.
