Since installed JIT, SuperOneClick didn't work for me, so I tried your method, in the step to change permissions says It can't change for some apps already there, so I did for each one, then all steps in terminal emulator.

Works great!

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zdzihu:
I've changed step 1 description, suggesting to get the app from the market, so copying it via rootme is no longer necessary.

Sorry I can't focus on this too much, I have another really exciting project to be released soon(tm) :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zephyrix:
Any reason you use terminal emulator instead of adb shell?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zdzihu:
Well, when I start rageagainstthecage from adb shell and follow the instructions to restart adb server on PC, it simply doesn't work for me - after relog I'm still logged as regular user. Would be amazing if you could get it to work from adb shell alone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DoubleVision19:
Any reason why when I try to run the application, the command console opens for a split second and then disappears? I tried asking this question before, but nobody is responding to it:(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
Either you dont have adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll installed in the same directory or you do not have usb debugging enabled in development.

Happy?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DoubleVision19:
I have them extracted to a folder, but still no joy.

Edit: When you say "directory"; what directory are these files supposed to be at?

Edit2: I'm getting the "permission denied" from the terminal on my phone
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sleepeeg3:
Thanks, that fixed it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Soul_Est:
I just rooted my phone using this method. Nothing else worked but this did! Kudos to zdzihu for putting this together. Now I can do some work on this X10 and make it truly unique.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pacm23:
Im also having the same problem... although i was rooted before and tried to optimise which i lost root... now neither the superoneclick nor this method works for me... :( correct me if im wrong but it seems some of the root files before are still in my phone and now conflicting with the root process. One last resort is to re-flash my phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] omnislash:
haha nice

man u are damn good it workd nice..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
Thanks for this. :)

I could only chmod the required files for it to work, though. This was because some apk's were giving me a 'permission denied' error.

But, it is much more reliable than the pc version. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Pawnty:
This is what I did and it tells me I can't chmod... did I do something wrong?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kokbiel:
What is the limitation of this root?

Every step works lika a charm -

But, if i start Terminal Emulator after the ./rootme, it shows $, as if there's no root. (this could just be a problem with superuser not automaticly granting TE root, so not a really big deal)

Is there any way to get a shell-root this way? I really liked having JIT, but after rebranding my phone to get the correct software (in case of warranty issues), I can't root/shell-root using oneclick and hence, I cant enable JIT.

Corrected some errors.

Solved, MarylandCookie's solution worked lika a charm
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
Just use root explorer to copy over the jit files to the correct places and make sure you long press permissions and set them accordingly for each file. Check the permission of the file before you replace it and then replace it and set the permissions.

Finally clear the dalvikcache folder using the same method. Reboot and you should have jit :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Haque:
Thanks a lot. Good work dear, please keep it up.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zdzihu:
This file doesn't belong to the rootkit package, get rid of it and retry :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kokbiel:
[/QUOTE]

Will try this when I get home, thanks.

Update 1:

Just did as you suggested MarylandCookie, works lika a charm. Allthough, I did it the long way around, just to be able to learn a little something on the way. Used Terminal Emulator and used commands all the way to copy/paste/give permissions. Took a little longer, but atleast now I understand some of the things that were done :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] minjiet:

P.s. Thanks for writing (advanced) in your title. After i did it made me feel more comfortable :)

Can't restart Terminal Emulator again

I just updated my X10i to 2.1 Rev 1 and then tried to re-root the phone, unsuccessfully. I tried SuperOneClick and couldn't get it to stop looping despite the recommended workaround. I tried your method and got stuck on Step 7. When I got out of Terminal Emulator on Step 5 and then tried to get back in on Step 7, the phone basically hung. I could not relaunch Terminal Emulator; it was like something was running in the background chewing up all the phone's resources. I had to pull the battery out to get the phone to respond again. Is there something I'm doing wrong or something required that I'm not doing?

Thanks.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] stan.s:
AFAIK, there is no rooting method for the small update to 2.1 that some people have gotten. SE specifically closed the most common exploit used to root the phones.

(Does everyone realize that you are using malware to root your phone? My ZAX software HATES all the rooting software and constantly tosses it into quarantine or deletes it until I exclude the folders.)

SuperOneClick for 2.0.2.A.0.24

If you use the SuperOneClick. Make sure you disable anti-virus and anti-malware (especially Kaspersky) before you extract the folder after downloading it. Once you do that:

1. Open the program

2. Click root.

3. When it says "waiting for device..." connect your phone (make sure you have USB debugging enabled)

4. When it is done, reboot your phone.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] batman_112:
It works in Win7. Turn on USB debugging. Your phone should be switched on and USB debugging enabled before you connect your phone.

If you use the SuperOneClick, make sure you disable anti-virus and anti-malware (especially Kaspersky) before you extract the folder after downloading it. Once you do that:

1. Open the program.

2. Click root.
