[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dude772:
I have tried to root my phone for about 2 hours now, trying EVERYTHING I can find on the forum.

I run the one click root program. It runs threw the loop, uncheck check the debug, finishes says its rooted. Check for super user app, its there. Then install titanium, it says not rooted, and cant allow non-market apps from one click root. It tells me theres no root.

Also, when I open the super user app its blank.

Can somoen PLEASE help me. I really want to root this and get moxier off.

EDIT: let the loop run threw untill it said rooted still titanium disagrees.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Skeldave:
Got stuck in the loop also, just turned debugging on and off again and it said 'Your device is rooted'! Thanks alot!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mightyboink:
test .
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] djyoshii:
Only worked after i disabled my firewall & AV.

Did a shell root first, let it run while i took a shower, came back and it was complete.

Then did a full root which finished almost instantly.

Didn't have to replace files, or check/uncheck debug button.

Installed Ti Backup, updated busybox & confirmed root.

...on another note, changed barnacle to wlan0 (under Interfaces > WAN) can see network but can't obtain an IP. Any clues?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BingoRingo:
By default Titanium will say your phone is not rooted or something similar, you have to then click on "Problems?" and it will install BusyBox. Then it should work!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Marazao:
Same as others

I have same issue as others where one click says it is ROOTED!

but titanium says is not :(

anyone can redirect me to the right path?

i already tried all the diff possible combinations
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Rich_RH:
I just rooted was wondering can i unroot? I only needed to root the phone to fix the keyboard up and i need to unroot the phone?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bialynia:
Tried PDAnet, all the different ideas and all I did was damage my SD card with all that constant looping.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dude772:
yes multiple times. I cant for the life of me figure this out. I did however use adb to remove moxier and quadrapop. So that kind of makes me less anxious to root the phone. I went for 3 months without rooting it before the update mostly because a few posts had me to believe that I couldn't do it on a 64bit system.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TheLegace:
This had worked perfectly for me, unfortunately the no market fix does not seem to work for me.

Thanks.

TheLegace.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lkirkw:
That's what did it for me. Click 'Shell Root' first. Press USB Debug several times until it says 'rooted. Then only click 'Root'. Thanks!

BTW, using Global ROM 2.1 update 1 pushed from Sony Ericsson.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] walterjnr:
Thank you so much for this. I was waiting for Universal Androot to update but got too impatient. I tried this software earlier but it didn't work but after reading this I decided to try again and I can confirm the "tick/untick usb debugging" option does work for the X10i.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dude772:
I have a new problem with rooting. It says rooted at the end. but in the log it says

"Installing superuser.apk...

can't find 'Phone\SuperOneClickv1.5.3-ShortFuse\superuser.apk' to install"

And obviously the phone does not have the super user app.

EDIT:

Used 1.5.1 and it worked. Took me way too long to figure it out. 1.5.3 wouldn't work at all.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] labowner:
Happy bunny, worked without any hassle and now have titanium installed...:)

Script

Can anyone post a script so that i can root directly from my Phone ?

what i need is all the command to put insid .SH file to run it

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kooky1107:
I have done all the procedure, the debranding with the Nordic, the update and the rooting. All went fine. But I have two problems..

First of all the battery drain.. I have done all the adjustments without 3G, no live wallparer, wifi when needed and all this kind of stuff that can keep the battery to a normal percentage. Although at night the drain is only 1-2% when I decide to "play around" a little bit it starts falling like from full charged to 20% in only 25 hours. All the apks that I have are the same as the ones that I had during 1.6. Anyone has any issues regarding the battery?

Second and pretty weird...

I tried to install an update of "Audio Manager Widget" according to the market. I pushed update and now it is stucked to the point that says Installation. Every time I enter the "downloads" section in the market, on the top of the page it says Installation to an apk I tried to update. I tried many different ways to stop it. Non of them worked. I unistalled the apk, I rebooted several times, I removed the battery, I unticked the flight mode thing, I installed a task killer trying to kill it, I installed Android System Info and from the tab Tasks I tried to kill the market.

It is still there triyng to get installed.

Any ideas how to get rid of it and fix the problem?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] citsym:
Stuck in the loop. Damn one click solutions. Binary's comandline option was so much better! At least it worked effortlessly.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] CriXu:
Try run my attachment :)

plug in usb and remember usb debug tickt .

Worked in the old root :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] titijr:
guys, need some help here.

I did all the procedures...root shell, root, bla bla bla...it says my phone is rooted, but titanium still saying it's not rooted...

and now?!

thanks for helping!

EDITING:

i think I solved the problem. Just reinstalled a newer busybox version.

is that right?!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] titan69:
Got my phone rooted, at last. For those that have problems with 'waiting for device' or looping, i had the same issue, this is what i did:

I downloaded the Superoneclick v.1.5.1, i did not put any of the adb files in it.

Connected my phone into usb debugging and ran the program.

I got the looping and 'waiting for device' thing.

now what i did, this is also explained in the first post, theres a link what will say the same thing, now u do this:

Unplug your usb cable

Go to settings>applications>development

uncheck usb debugging

plug in your usb cable

unplug your usb cable

check usb debugging

plug in your usb cable

after this i got a pop up saying rooted.

I know this is said in the one link, but i think a lot of people didnt see it, hope it helps.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lion1116:
I did similar to above, but I didn't have to unplug the usb.

Before you click 'root' button in the SuperOneClick program, navigate to Settings->Application->Development screen on the x10 first so you can tick the debug on/off easily.

Click root, and when it runs and starts looping, just keep ticking the usb debug on/off between all the popups. It should root eventualy :p
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Markavich:
Ok. I'm pretty sure I did what I thought was following directions. Is anyone else on AT&T? I do not have the "Allow Non-market" whatever option. I remember it from my G1 when it was rooted.

I did get it to say ROOTED, once.

In the same try, no more than a minute after, it said ROOT FAILED.

I downloaded Titanium and it said not rooted. I updated BusyBox to no avail.

I did the "tick/untick" thing. Nothing. I used version 1.5.1 and 1.5.3

Do I need a different version? What am I doing wrong?

Is it just because I'm on AT&T?

I don't even care about getting 2.1. I JUST want to be able to use SetCPU and Dolphin Browser HD. Those really are the only 2 reasons I'm trying to do this.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] citsym:
Thanks a ton for this tip. It worked!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Contrarian:
As someone else pointed out (sorry, can't remember the thread)

>open the android-sdk-windows folder

>open the tools subfolder

>select the following files

adb.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

>right click mouse and hit copy

>open Superoneclick folder

>hit paste, thereby replacing the adb files with the ones from your android.sdk folder

>plug phone in

>press "charge on the screen

>run superoneclick

>hit "root"

as stated above, you may have to remount usb a few times, but eventually it will work.

MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER: PATIENCE
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] b00f:
FYI.

I updated my x10i (Australian) with SEUS 2.1 yesterday.

Downloaded the superclick (v2)

Shell root. Said it was "rooted"

Then went back and used normal root.

ROOTED!

woop!

now i can sit down and play angrybirds :P

Anyone with an X10i having problems with SuperOneClickv1.5.3??

Anyone trying to root your X10i use SuperOneClickv1. I tried multiple times using v1.5.3 and it said my X10i was rooted, but when installing Titanium Backup it was NOT! Tried again tonight with v1 and instant root! YIPPEE! Checked with Terminal Emulator via SU command and there it is, the symbol I've been waiting for #!

SE X10i 2.1 Nordic ROOTED!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] flashman1207:
I actually had problems rooting my 2.1 Nordic X10i. The SuperOneClick kept coming up "waiting for device". i got round it back toggling off and on the USB Debugging thing. had to do this twice to get it through..... No problems with Titanium only that I did not have busybox so it installed it for me
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ditchmond:
Awesome. Simply Awesome. Did I saw Awesome?

Upgraded to 2.1 Global and now rooted. Will give the phone a few mins to 'cool' down before I start playing.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ParrotSquawk:
nothing works...

everybody types in shorthand....

I have tried everything everyone suggested on this thread...I even stuck the USB cord into the wall socket...

still no root...

if someone has been successful, please make a video or a DETAILED STEP BY STEP set of instructions, stating which version of what software you used.

I can't be the only one who seems to be missing the one step everyone is doing by accident and not realizing...

help us out please.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ditchmond:
Like some have posted, mine kept doing the loop as well. So then while my phone was still connected I went and turned off USB debugging, then went back and turned it on, and all of a sudden it started to work.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mayamo:
ok.. so after an hour it worked...

i first tried on win 7 x64 comp..

root didn't work and kept on getting stuck on waiting for device..

then i tried shell root. and it worked, but it didn't get the root for busybox..

then when i tried (after i had done other things on the phone) root didn't work.

then i tried on win7 x86 comp

doesn't work at all..

doesn't even go on loop.. it just gets stuck right after killing adb, starting adb, waiting for device..

went back to win7 x64

rebooted phone, rebooted comp.. started everything afresh..

did shell root.. after many loops got stuck on waiting for device.. then i just went to setting on my phone, unchecked, checked debugging mode. then it was 'shell rooted'

right after that (without doing anything else to it) i clicked root, and it worked in 3 seconds!!!

thanks!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] superleeds27:

I've installed PDAClient, hence how i got root.

Upon trying to shell root, it keeps giving me thr un around, and sometimes popping up with Temporary ADB Root. trying to get the 2.1 optimiser working!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] thewirelesstech:
It says what to do on the first page but. I had the same issue. I left the cable plugged in, the root program running, and toggled (checked, un-checked) the USB debugging. That can be found under settings-> Applications->Development.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TechGuru_x10:
Same here, any ideas? flashed with generic.....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Duvel999:
I tried The SuperOneClickv1.5.1-ShortFuse.zip, same problems like everyone.

This didn't Root my SE with 1.6 , so I used 1.0.6 Root here (now 1.0.8).

That worked, so I got 2.1 from my Northern friends...

Now I tried to Root 2.1, to get RID > RIP..... Moxier ...Crap.

I used The SuperOneClickv1.5.4-ShortFuse.zip, again same problems....

RATC...Waiting for Device,

Tried the Solution of playing Settings > Applications > Development > Debugging, didn't work... till..

I disabled the Option > Other Sources (Allow installation of Applications of Other Sources than Market)

AND ..there it was in a Spark -> a Rooted 2.1 X10i...

Hope it helps for those who have problems.

...LOL...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] UserX10:
Doesn´t work for me, too.

It´s connecting and disconnecting all the time... for about 20 times. After that nothing happens (Waiting for device...) and the LED of my X10 is glowing orange all the time... a connection over USB doesn´t work anymore.... only a reboot solve the LED/Connection Problem.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
What have you tried from the first page?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] UserX10:
Downloaded the package and startet the .exe

Clicked on "root"

On Phone turned Debugging on.

Connected Phone to PC and the following is happening for about 20 times... (while this happens a Pop-Up is asking me on the Phone what I want to do (Install PC-Companion, Charge, Connect Phone). It doesn´t matter if I choose one or not... after a few seconds the connection is lost, and the Pop-Up asks again...

Tried to turn debugging on/off during this, too. But it doesn´t work.

Okay i've tried almost everything that everyone said to fix "Waiting for device..." loop, from clicking debugging a million time to plug in and plug out but none of them worked!

So i just tickered around, and something worked for me! HURRAH

Okay you know when you plug in the USB and 3 options pop up? Connect your phone, Install PC compainion and Charge phone.

Pick install PC companion and then install it! Then EXIT the program after all drivers and everything is installed.

Then just do normal steps, plug in your phone (activate Debug USB) click on SuperOneClick.exe click on Root and bingo you got root dude.

Hope this helps you cause everything else didn't for me :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sam_a200:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] radar1976:
Ok, both of our X10 devices have been successfully rooted.

Mine rooted in 45 secs. My wifes took 15 mins.

After 10 mins with my wifes, I decided to start playing with the "Unknown Sources" toggle and the USB Debuging toggle. I kept clicking them randomly.

After 2 mins of doing this, I got the good message "ROOTED"

As far as the Superuser.apk, just waited about 2 mins to in-sure that it really did copy over, and installed before I just killed the program.

I found that it was installed on the device.

Hope this helps!

Happy Rooting 2.1!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mtechfan:
After countless attempts trying everything suggested on here, mine finally rooted via the shell method. Then the normal root worked after that.

I still had to download busybox from the market to get titanium bu to work.

P.S I am using the Nordic version.

After removing all the garbage like telenor and supernytt and the pointless Asian keyboards(wtf are they doing in a Nordic ROM anyways???) the ROM has been smooth and very responsive. Very good battery life as well!

It was stuck at "Installing Superuser.ask" for a very long time, so I pulled the USB cable and everything seems ok, phone is now rooted.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ECBomb:
That happened to me too. I just unticked and reticked the "USB Debugging Mode" box and everything went through fine.

I tried to root from my desktop but that ancient machine was playing games with me. The root program kept getting stuck after the 2nd move (constantly froze at that second step). Once I plugged into my netbook and rooted from there, I was done within 5 minutes.
