I believed mine is the Rogers X10a, I don't now if that would make any difference. Unlocked already, to use with T-Mobile here in USA.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ffortissimo:
Dutch x10i.

.16 software

Unbranded first.

Rooted with the old method.

Ended with .23 rooted.

Made some mistakes while tweaking and reset the software to .16 with step 1 from the old method.

Updated OTA to .23

Updated SEUS to .26

Rooted with the new method.

Switched from KPN to Vodafone last friday.

I've got the following 'problems'.

- Some SMS messages are delivered twice. I see this in Handcent SMS but also in the original app.

- Gmail app doesn't sync back to Gmail(-web). After doing something with mails on the phone (read, archive, delete, label) this isn't synchronized to the 'real' mail.

- I can't find some apps in Android Market. Like GoTo (unlock screen) and Paypal.

Which of these problems can be linked to rooting?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ardf69:
The new method doesn't touch any file of your original firmware. It only puts 3 file in system used only by programs require su.

Ciao Angelo
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ffortissimo:
Thanks Angelo.

Can I assume there's something wrong with .26 or are there files from the 'original' .16 that are stil in use (in other words, is .26 a complete new installation or just an upgrade from .16 which could be corrupted?)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rvictorg:
I get double SMS messages in Handcent as well, no idea why. I'm on Rogers 020 and rooted.

Speaking of the new root method. Has anyone found any disadvantages with it? I just ran it on a virgin 026 install and it worked perfectly. It's a _lot_ easier to do than the old method, no multiple upgrades so I'm assuming it's the preferred method now?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Higgins12:
Couldn't find any disadvantages , installed xxx26 last Night and rooted it. Very smooth Process. Including restore all apps with Titanium all was done in about 10 Minutes. Very nice.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] j4mm3r:
There can be no disadvantages here. I mean in comparison with the old root methods ofcourse. It is essentially the same minus the hassle of flashing, falling back to old versions etc.

All that is needed is to get a shell with superuser privileges in order to call your system "rooted" and thats what this method does.

The older method relied on a hole in the over there air firmware upgrade method to push in a "sh" binary with the setuid bit set on. And thats exactly what this new method does... plus it avoids any flashing what soever.

Since this method has been reported to work all the way up to R2BA026, I think we are going to be safe with the root at least till the forthcoming 2.1 update. IMHO this method is a lot cleaner and safer to execute. I mean this way you don't even have to loose your operator's branding!!

I can give you a specific example here: The last update to the root method to 026 was a completely useless thing for the X10a users. For the people who dont really understand whats going on would unnecessarily go thru the motions of flashing their phones with essentially the same images as before. I suspect that that's the same for the X10i users as well, but can't be sure.

I have already raised that issue in a thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739537

The only thing that remains for this method is for someone to automate the process with the installation of the "su" and Superuser.apk binaries and also perform some cleanup of the nasty "rootshell" that this exploit leaves behind.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zephyrix:
the root shell should be safe since it requires a password.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tri3Dent:
Can you unroot by reflashing the original firmware?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
you can unroot by deleting su from system/bin :)

Total Root Package listed here and it's capabilities vs. limitations

I've laid this out on a couple of forums, but can't seem to find an answer. I'm getting too old to flash things. I can barely keep up with work/networks/hardware changes etc. I'm looking for answers.

I'm an X10a on Rogers. Unlocked, Unbranded, Rooted(not using this method) and currently at 1.6/R2BA020. I have some features of Android I need to use everyday. Buddy at the store(and through my own ignorance) didn't inform me 3 weeks ago of the 1.6 issue. I'm now tubed.

I need to un-brand, root and get to at least 2.0.

I'm confused after all the reading of the correlation between the firmware(1.6) and the 2.6.29 Kernel.

So can someone answer the following.

- How to I achieve the desired result? 2.0 of greater?

- If I get there, will ALL the market apps available to that kernel be seen by my device?

- And being with Rogers, I would assume that if this is possible, I will need to discontinue OTA updates, and rely on SEU for the source of firmware?

ANY HELP OR INFORMATION anyone can off me in a timely fashoi would be outstanding.

ExploidOneClick is the .apk file or something?

Not.

Hi,

I updated my x10i to R2BA026 via SEUS and i root with Grospolina script "R2BA026_exploid_X10i_v2.rar"

All is ok work fine, thanks Grospolina :)

After a factory reset, i want to reroot my x10i with the same script.

But after this command "adb shell /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid" it ask: Password (echoed):

my keyboard not working, i can't write anything in cmd.

I'm update my x10i to R2BA026 via SEUS secondly, the script and my keyboard work now and my phone is rooted.

My question: Is a way to reroot after a factory reset ?

Thanks.

No one can reply to my previous post?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Had01:
Yes, there is .apk file which roots your phone. Read the first post please.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
No, it's a different app that uses the same exploit method.

1. Lock your phone.

2. Press Power or Back to go to your slide unlock screen. DON'T UNLOCK.

3. Press Menu, Back, Back, Menu, Back, Menu, Menu, Back.

4. Go to Service info > Model info for your model and country.

5. Go to Service info > Software info for your firmware version.

Not currently possible, as the bootloader has not been cracked yet. Without that, we can only use SE firmware (the latest is still Android 1.6). An official 2.1 release is projected for end of September.

After the Market approves the fingerprint of the new firmware, yes. This usually takes quite a while (weeks).

If you have non-Rogers branded firmware, then I doubt you'll be able to get OTA updates. In fact, I don't even think that the current Rogers firmware (R2BA020) is available OTA, so maybe they don't even do it at all.

If the bootloader is cracked, then you'll most likely be using CyanogenMod. In that case, you'll be relying on CyanogenMod updates (I think - I've never done this as the X10a is my first Android phone).

I'm not sure why it wouldn't let you type anything at that point. However, you don't really need to. After a factory reset, it actually stays rooted. However, since it deletes all non-system apps, you need to reinstall Superuser.apk. I think su and betterbox (the program, not the .apk) are left untouched too, so you don't even need to reinstall those.

However, a factory reset won't restore any system apps that you've deleted, including keyboards. So if you've deleted the standard keyboards, it would be a good idea to reinstall at least one of them before resetting. Either that, or install a keyboard through ADB right after resetting it (using the adb install command). Don't forget to re-enable USB debugging, because it's turned off by the reset.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wiif:
I did not tried if install working with adb shell because of bug with adb and my vista cmd command :rolleyes:

You are right, su and betterbox are left untouched.

After rooted and "factory reset" you need only reinstall superuser.apk as you want, like cmd command or astro manager (free) but i'm not tried.

After that, you can try Root Explorer or Titanium Backup for see if you are rooted.

Thanks Grospolina :)

At least I managed to debrand my phone with the old (first) rooting method.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:

My phone is rooted but with the base band R2BA020. How do I upgrade / update to R2BA026 ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TrietHocNhanSinh:
Which one do I have to use? The Standalone for x10A or the Exploid Root for x10A ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TrietHocNhanSinh:
Thanks Angelo
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
Use Exploid Root for X10a (contains Generic R2BA026 X10a). The Standalone Market Fix ONLY contains the Market fix.

You can run Option 1 to flash your phone with Generic R2BA026 X10a firmware. After that, you can either go on to Option 2 to root it OR download and use Angelo's .apk file.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
You need to install 32-bit Java. Check the sticky:

[ROOT/De-Brick Guide] Java Issue 64 bit Fix Walkthrough (Video guide included)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
Yes. And it's called "firmware". Your "baseband" files are only a part of your firmware.

And for .rar files, use WinRAR (first download). You'll also need Sony Ericsson Update Service or PC Companion. Lastly, you'll need 32-bit Java JRE. Do NOT get the 64-bit version.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TrietHocNhanSinh:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pngface:
Follow the instructions.... its pretty well detailed. you just need your device ID which took me a while to find.

There's a readme file somewhere in there
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TrietHocNhanSinh:
I SUPPOSED, these are for rooting the R2BA026 only. Correct me if I am wrong.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
No, step 1 flashes your X10 phone with Generic R2BA026 firmware. It doesn't matter what you had before that, but it's a good idea to use the one for X10a if you have an X10a phone. You can "cross-flash" it (e.g. flash X10a onto an X10i), but there's no advantage to that.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TrietHocNhanSinh:
But don't I have to update to R2BA026 version first prior flashing it? I do have an X10a, running R2BA020 firmware / base band.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
No, you don't have to update it to R2BA026 first. Step 1 does that for you. If you want to update to R2BA026, run Step 1 (be sure to read the instructions about DeviceID). Step 2 will root your phone. You can skip to Step 2 to root your current R2BA020, if you want.

Glossary:

firmware - The software in your phone, including the Android OS.

flash memory - A type of storage. USB drives, SD cards, phones, etc. use this.

flashing - The process of writing or updating the firmware on your phone (so named because it's stored in flash memory).

It wasn't happening right after root this morning, and I did not run step 3 and had no obvious issues with the market.

Hey guys.

Apologies, I'm a noob at this though I've tried to do as much research as I could. I've got an R2BA026 X10i, I've been trying to root it using the xploid method. I have a rather stupid problem here.

When I connect the phone with the usb port in flash mode, the phone would turn itself on within a few seconds, so I tried running the SEUS which 'kept' the phone in flash mode, meanwhile i opened regedit and obtained the DeviceID from the key it's supposed to be found in and I put it in the DeviceID file inside the 1_firmware folder. I then closed SEUS and turned the phone on while still being connect to the usb port and ran the rootx10i_v2 file, but I keep getting the device not found error.

I've tried this with 3 different usb ports ie 3 different device IDs but I get the device not found error every time.

Apologies again, what am I doing wrong?

With whatever window opened, on your keyboard there's a windows key, press the win key + R and a run dialogue box would open (or go to start menu and click 'run').
