OK, so mine said ROOTED, and then carried on doing stuff afterwards. Is this normal? It's now been hanging on 'Installing superuser.apk...' for about 10 minutes.

Also, Titanium Wont work. It was working on my previous v1.6, then when I tried to backup my phone before the 2.1 upgrade it wouldn't work. Open Home still seems to work though, so I'm a little confused!

Anyway, this is my readout from when it told me it rooted:

So, this is how i rooted mine:

1. First I pulled the "allow, disallow, connect, disconnect, allow, connect" with USB-debugging. I pressed "charge", back or main screen button to get rid of the message on the phone

2. Started SuperOneClick 1.5.4, pressed Root.

3. When the loop started i disallowed then allowed USB-debugging.

4. When the program was stuck at "installing superuser.apk" for a couple of mins, i allowed non-market software, then disallowed USB-debugging and allowed it again. Couple of seconds later the phone was rooted.

Hope this helps someone :D

I was already rooted before but tried to shell root for the 2.1 optimiser however it said that it was only a temporary root and need to re-root. so i did unroot my phone however i keep on getting this:

Root after flashing JIT

So I had the same problem with rooting my device after flashing JIT! It just hang in a loop every time and my led turns white and so on....!

What I made:

1.

I deleted superuser and took out the battery of my x10 restarted everything also my desktop.

2. Started SUPER ONE Click and made an unroot! Then Super one click says " no superuser.apk founded on device"

3. I hit the root button and after 2 minutes it hung by "waiting for device"! So I disabled debug mode and enabled it again! Waiting another minute and it says " Device rooted":cool::cool:

Hope This Helps a little!!!:D

Works perfectly with X10 2.1 Nordic

Thanks for making the rooting process so simple, instructions on previous software was very difficult. Barnacle also works perfectly. But one thing to take care, in the beginning it use to get stuck and usb gets disconnected and reconnected. But just disable/enable the USB Debug and it will work fine.

Thanks again..

Has anyone at all managed to get this to work via Parallels on a Mac? If they have, and can tell me how, I will be eternally grateful. I have tried pretty much every trick listed in this entire thread and NEVER got past "Waiting for device". I'm using Win 7 with a UK generic X10 mini.

Just going to try doing it from scratch with Windows XP, then I think I might smash the damn phone. It was a nightmare getting the 2.1 update because SE don't support Macs, and now it's a nightmare getting control over my own phone just to delete their crud off it and get it back the way it was before!

Got my X10i rooted using this method and I confirmed it by using Titanium Backup to restore my settings and installing Busybox. The only thing that got me confused is that when I opened the terminal app on the phone; it is not showing me as rooted (#)...my prompt still shows ($) instead. Is this normal?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tmm666:
Yes! YES!

a heartly thanx goes out to all who made it possible for this root. i runned the program once and i have root access. although i am a totally newbie in this area. After rooting my X10i i didn't know how to uninstall the SE crap programs but then i realized i needed to install Titanium Backup which installed busybox and voila i could remove any program i wanted.

So what i wanted to say is : THNX for your efforts, really appreciate this.

I finally got it rooted :)

Think I had all the problems on the way, and it really gave a good fight trying not to get rooted. I was almost giving up!!

Here's some of my problems,

firstly I had to but my antivirus program off, then it started to find the phone (took me some time to figure out)

secondly, maybe 100 times clicking the debugging on/off

thirdly even if you get the message ROOTED you can still get stuck to that point and have to start everything again...

But luckily i got it now, SO THANKS!!!

If I uncheck USB Debugging while the status is "Waiting for device..." it has no effect since it will keep waiting untill USB Debugging is checked again.

If I uncheck while status is "Running rageagainstthecage", the status will immediately change to "OK" and "Killing ADB Server". Wich seems logical to me since the connection is lost.

Unchecking while killing ADB server is also useless.

So why the hell should checking/unchecking influence the proces in a good way? Can't believe I'm spending so much hours. This rooting method needs some more development.

Or just search XDA for z4root.

Download it, Install it, enable USB debugging, start it and press the "root" button..... wait ~5-10min and when the phone has rebooted, you have root....

1. Download the files in first post.

2. Unpack the files.

3. Enable USB debugging on the phone in Settings>Applications>Development and connect the phone to PC via USB.

Hey guys,

tried yesterday evening, and it worked! Not the first time, though, but eventually.

Tuesday I did the 1.6 NL to 2.1 Nordic upgrade. Now I wanted to root it again.

First I connected my phone with my pc, without answering the question about "would you connect, or upload, or something else. Then I started superoneclickroot.

Then, when my phone went into a "loop", I unticked/ticked the USB-button, and it went on! The first time it said that it wasn't rooted, then I tried again, same result, then I restarted the superoneclickroot-program again, tried Shell Root, no luck, then tried Root again, and it said that my phone was already rooted!

Installed Titanium Backup to be sure, and that program said that it was not rooted. Then I restarted my phone (I forgot.....) and TB told me I needed Busybox in the root... I tried to get it there via my pc, but that didn't work. Restarted TB again, and I ticked the button "Problems?"; it said it could download the right version of Busybox.... I ticked "Yes", and it all went smooth from there on. TB told me it was all right, I restarted my phone again, and it works fine!

And now I have a rooted 2.1 on my X10!

Thank you all for the info, I owe you!

congrats on the successful root...the next thing you should actually do is go to the market and download "Titanium Backup" (which enables you to get rid of applications such as moxier, playnow, etc.) just be extremely careful with what you delete; deleting the "wrong" app may possibly force you to re-flash the phone....there should be a list somewhere around here that contains apps safe to remove......take a look at this:

z4root works like a charm - x10i UK on 2.1
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
Hello.

I have an Xperia X10i UK device.

Originally i have 1.6 (of course)

Then i decide that i want 2.1.

I roor with universal androot, and with rootexplorer i set NORDIC SEUS code (1234-8465 )

After i root 2.1 too with superoneclick

and all work fine.

After 10 days i start to have problem, like 3G connection not work and SMS fail send.

then i try "repair" with SEUS....all fine for 30 min 1 h and after again problem.

I'm an italian user with WIND SIM....but i'm 100% sure that my X10i is a NO BRAND UK device.

Then i made this.

Reedit SEUS CODE with UK original (1235-7379) and make "repair" with SEUS

and NOW i have.

Firmware Version: 2.1-update1

Baseband: 1.0.46 (old one?)

Kernel version: 2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1

Build Number: 2.0.A.0.504 (???? WTF ???)

Not R2BA023 or 020 or 026 (new?)

AND

Universald androot not work...superoneclick not root my device....

Any Idea about this?

What i must do do obtain new build (if i remember there s a nordic firmware with 026 or 023) or other (root possibly)

I'm opened to FLASH way or not (please not to X10a....don't want to lose SEUS update)

Thank you and sorry for my bad english...

UPDATE

I can ROOT 2.1 wit Z4root

re inserted nordic SEUS code...and repair via SEUS.
