Your build is correct unless you updated again where you should have .24 instead of .504. Your baseband is completely wrong. How did you obtain 2.1? Through seus? Or a different method?

just rooted my phone in under 5 seconds. Thanks a lot now i can remove all the unwanted crap
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Emmoth:
Any easy way to remove unwanted crap like moxier ?

I have done it before but I don't remember how.. did a search but couldn't find anything. So can someone please point me to the right place for that info ?

And all of you that get stuck on "wating for device", that happend to me too. I just closed the prg and started it again, and unticked/ticked the USB debugging once and then I just waited. The root process took like 5-10mins for me.. so it's very diffrent from phone to phone and computer. might be something with x86/64bit system and version on .NET

Yea, I'm not getting it either. What firmware do I have to be running to get the 2.1 update. It keeps telling me I'm on the newest firmware. Running the unbranded software. Am I just not looking hard enough on this site here. The only one I can find is 2.1 for dev's.

Well at first the Nordic countrys will get the update, so you need to run any nordic FW.

I changed the settings in the PC companion to search for new FW when I connect the phone, and after that it found the new FW.

If it says waiting for device, just let it wait for a few minutes.

Unplugging / unchecking steps

Hi,

I had problems with endless looping and eventually getting stuck, and eventually the instructions as per the other original post worked first time...

If you're having issues with "wait for device" or if RATC is looping, try 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

Cheers,

P.

Thanks man!!! Great work, runs smoothie now!!! Do you think we will get barnacle to run???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] somebloke:
yes someone else has put a different wlan setting - havent tried it yet though

& to all the people saying it's in a loop - yes it is.. leave it running.

if you can't access your phone using adb normally through drivers or whatever, this isn't the place to troubleshoot it.

whilst it's in the loop it will be disconnecting and reconnecting the port repeatedly
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DABenji:
Ha sorted it.

Anyone trying to run this on a PC/Laptop with Windows 7 run the program as XP right click troubleshoot compatability then let it run its test then it will offer to use settings, it will run the program in xp, after doing that was rooted in 3 secs.

MINTED!!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
For those getting looping issues install the PDANet client on the PC and let it install the drivers for the phone, and that should help with the looping issue. I've rerooted this morning due to adb issues and it ran first time. I did however replace the 3 files as mentioned on the first page too, I know some say they didn't have to, but that is what worked for me.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] somebloke:

For all those with errors,check USB debugging and allow unknown apps befor starting the root.Turn of your virus scanner while debugging, at least my scanner did not like the program.

Allow Titanium to update the busybox.

I coul finally solve it with this procedure:

1.- Activate USB debugin (phone)

2.- Connect the phone to PC.

3.- Check new HSUSB driver in device manager. If not properly installed, yo will see the tipical exclamation mark.

4.- Install PC Companion (touch the phone) middle button. This pc companion is not las version and must be updated again (driver is missing yet!).

5.- Close PC companion. Start it again. Now, update as requested!.

6.- Check device manager: Now adb driver is installed properly.

7.- Excute SuperOneClick. Works like a charm!
