hi guys
Im new to this site and i am an complete newbie to rooting. I decided to root my x10 the other day, but this rooting is to complex for me. I was only good with jail breaking my iPhone (which sucks compared to my x10). I would like to know how to restore my x10 to the way it was to factory default because Im having problems with it now after rooting.
How do i unroot my x10?
simple.....
install an unrooted / original ROM from decrypted roms thread using Omnius or Flash method...... so simple
return to shipped rom
1.download flash tool/unbrick
2.download desired rom
from

Hey peeps,
I have read the quick guide in terms of rooting the X10 mini via a '1 Touch Rooting Method' but is it safe to use this guide when rooting the X10 Mini Pro? So that mods are aware I did use the search tool first to find guides on how to root so that I can install custom ROMs but I couldn't find anything on the X10 Mini Pro, some other similar links were dead too.
I just bought this phone today from the Car Phone Warehouse and I don't want to brick my device, I have successfully rooted both the HTC Desire and Wildfire before and installed custom ROMs so I have some knowledge, but any help from you guys would be much appreciated! Thank you...

You cant "brick" any of the xperia phones since the bootloader is not cracked. Worst thing that could happen is that you have to reflash your phone using flashtool or pc companion/seus.

Hi guys
I just purchased an x10a mini pro (Telstra branded version). I wanted to install a custom ROM on it, but can't find any instructions on what steps to follow. I'd like to install the most stable CM7 build if possible.
Also can anyone refer me to the steps on installing a custom rom (ideally gingerbread build). Again I can't seem to find any instructions on this forum on how to create a ROM backup.
Im a bit of a tech noob, so apologies if it seems noobish. I also tried a thread search but couldnt find any satisfactory instructions

Any Links to the Tutor Page ???
I have rooted my phone - used Super One Click)
Now I want to try the 2.3.4 Rom in my XPERIA X10 mini.
Though, before I do anything, I would like to backup my current ROM ( and need to be able to recover later, if needed ).
I'll need all help I can get.
Thank you.
Hello,
I have got sony ericsson w8 and can anyone tell me how to root it and update to 2.2 or higher?
I read the threads but was unable to understand as I am a very new and dont know much.So, if someone could really sort out the solution for this in simple steps.Also, if I root my phone, will the warranty be void??
If so, then can i unroot my phone to original after i have rooted my phone and installed custom ROM and again extend the warranty??

If you root your phone, Yes the warranty will be void but only if they find out it was rooted. But there is a way to unroot your phone and it erases the trace of the root, so they wont know you rooted it. Thus, keeping your warranty.
If you want to root your phone, please follow this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046605
It is a guide to rooting the x8, but the x8 is the same as the w8. PLEASE follow the directions the link provides very carefully. Make sure before you do anything, that you have the sony ericsson update software on your computer, connect your phone and make sure your phone is up to date. Also, once you complete the root process and install xRecovery, make sure you use xRecovery to do a complete backup of your phone before you do anything else with the phone. This is so that if anything happens to your phone, you can use xRecovery to restore your phone back to stock and use the sony ericsson update software to unroot your phone.
If you have any problems feel free to pm me.

Hey guys I am a android newbie got a Neo V recently..I would like to use Titanium backup/brightness hack to move most of the apps to SD Card, and read that requires root..
Is rooting perfectly safe? cuz am not really interested in going beyond the stock SE Rom or anything?
And if I get any future SE official device updates, should I unroot the device before installing new updates or the root can be left as it is??

I'm also rooted and on stock and it still has many advantages. It's easy if you have an unlocked bootloader, else I don't know.
via Sony Ericsson Xperia
I dont want to unlock my bootloader, I am not looking to install custom roms or anything..
Can anyone else answer my question above, and can I follow this to just root my phone?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
Root it using the zergrush method (rooting doesnt remove the warranty) its very easy and no need to unlock the bootloader , then just get app2sd or similar to move the apps to SD.
After rooting you can do many more things like removing carrier apps, move apps, supercharge, etc.

lilflix7, first of all to understand what is rooting you need to understand the basics of a Linux system, as Android is nothing but a system using the Linux kernel. "root" is like a default administrator account in Linux , which gives you hardware level access. For example giving hardware level access to applications which manage CPU Scaling for battery efficiency. By default the vendors lock out the "root" access just to protect their warranty incase you do something harmful (i.e. deleting important system files") or a malware granting itself administrative privilege to mess with your phone. But some of us have found ways to enable it incase we want better control of our phones for more customization (i.e freeing up some space by deleting unnecessary system applications) and hacking. The methods vary depending upon the make and the models and most importantly the Android Version .. As it sometimes varies between gingerbread and ICS .. With ST15i with ICS please don't consider rooting the phone directly using the scripts, you might end up with a brick.. Downgrade to a Gingerbread Kernel after which you may have a soft brick due to the kernel mismatch, but then you can run the DooMLoRD rooting tool with busybox....After this process switch back to the stock kernel and you are rooted xD .. Please note Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 and 4.0.2.A.0.69 are difficult to root on a locked boootloader. So to root gingerbread you need to flash either 4.0.2.A.0.42 or 4.0.2.A.0.58 and then Root.. This might sound hebrew to you as you are new to this phone, so i suggest you to read through the forums before you decide your call. As "rooting" your phone will void your warranty AND MOST IMPORTANTLY BRICK YOUR PHONE if you do something wrong.. Here is a detailed guide on how to root ST15i (talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0).. I have tried it on my week old ST15i and its rooted flawlessly now xD.. All the very best..
