all things work with the new methods, I am rogers as well, and love the rooted xxxx23 rom
the updated rooting instructions on the main post are just fine. all u need to know before u start is that u should have SEUS installed, im sure u have becuase u've updated ur phone to --20. so to get it to --23 all u have to do is download the packets and follow the instructions closely and it shouldnt lead u astray . u should end up with a 23 firmware + working headphone jack + a phone that says its an x10A.
Love de tuts easy to follow

Headphone problem
Hi, I have the x10a rooted with R2B0023. I installed the market fix and now my music is always routed to the external speaker, never to my headphones.
Anybody has a solution?
Clarification ...
Hi Team / Board Members.
1st of all, thanks to all the developers / forum members for getting thru this rooting business and procedures.
2nd:
I read the procedures over & over again, and will attempt to "root" my rogers x10a phone tonight after work.
Just a few questions / clear-up required:
(1) I have updated my Rogers X10A thru SEUS to the following:
Model Number: X10A
Firmware Version: 1.6
Baseband Version: 1.1.25
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-rel / [email protected] #2
Build Number: R2BA020
(2) The main root topic, found with the title of [GUIDE] Root your X10 R2BA023 ! { Update 06.07.2010 Nicer Instructions }, it's updated, all the *.cmd step #1,#2,#3,#4,#5 is updated to reflect any problems?
(3) After going thru all the steps, my phone will have the R2BA023 build, with X20a model name & baseband will be updated as well to 1.1.26 /1.1.27 or so?
(4) Can this "rooting" procedure be completed on 64-bit Windows 7 Laptop system, I know I have to dedicate the same usb port for the entire rooting procedure?
(5) I typed the MMS/GPRS settings manually on a WORD DOC, and after ***sucessfully*** rooting, I just have to re-create the profile right?

I just went through the rooting procedure on my X10a (formerly running the 016 Rogers ROM). Everything went well.
As for your question regarding the procedure on a 64bit Windows system: just follow the guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713457) for getting Java 32-bit running on your system before you try the root. It works, and will prevent a lot of problems.
Otherwise, it's all pretty much correct.
Hey, thanks for the reply.
Just a few more questions that I have to ask:
(1) regarding the headphone jack, I am hearing mixed emotion regarding it doesn't work vs. it works after sucessfull rooting ....
what's the story with that and relation to the X20a that I have, not X10i?
(2) under the troubleshooting, problems, feedback on the rooting procedure, people are stating there is a problem with the accelerometer ? Is that true?
Since you have sucessfully rooted, did you experience any problems whats ever?

I tested this afternoon, and I don't have any problems with the headphone jack. My headphones worked as expected, as did my bluetooth MW600 (which I also tested just to make sure).

Hmm... haven't tested yet. Gimme a sec to load up Abduction!... Just finished the first level (I really wish I had backed up my games) with no issues, so I'd say it seems fine.
Thanks for confirming ....
I'll do the process and let you know how it came about.
Thank u all . So if I root my phone would it mess up the unlocking cuz I'm with fido and phone was originally Rogers

Nope. Unlocking and rooting are two completely separate things. You'd be fine.
No unlocking yet then

Hi guys and gals, I am new here at these forums. Well, not really. I've been reading the HTC Hero section of this forum for the past few months now.
Anyway, I am planning to get a HTC Hero, and am also planning to flash it with modaco's custom ROM. I was wodering, if anything goes horribly wrong with the flashing, is there a way to reflash the stock ROM? Like the iphone - you can have it completely messed up but get it working again through DFU.
Is there such a thing as DFU mode or similar on the HTC Hero?
Thanks.
First post.
Carefully execited and no need to worry! The latest Amon's recovery is fantastic. More importantly your sd partition is inbuilt.
This recovery is a "benchmark". I followed >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543571 but surely other members will also give you helpful advice.
Furthermore also have a look at using iskoot for skype since you are a three user. The thread is within Dream application section.
3 UK users should change their APN to 3UK instead of three.co.uk for avaoiding everlasting wait when browsing Hotmail. It works!
Okay, so if I understand you correctly, you can recover your hero if something goes wrong via fastboot? So for instance, If I break my SD Card and delete system files on the hero, is there a way to enter DFU mode by pressing a combination of buttons?
Thanks for the 3 UK APN Settings. Im gna use the hero with 3 PAYG.
The process of rooting is five mins but unrooting back to what it was could be longer and perhaps boring. Unless there is a warranty issue no need to worry.
Longest process is reading and understanding. Start with latest Android SDS and place the folder anywhere where you can access easily. I hav it under C drive.
Have a look at the wiki at the top of Saphire forum which is a bank of information.
PS: 3 payg sim will work to use free skype (iSkoot) even without any top up!

Hi there guys/girls,
Ok so I've decided i've had enough of froyo and this stupid locked bootloader, I was holding off as I have seen there being many cases of hard bricked phones and being someone with no insurance can't afford to brick my phone.
On that note is there anyone that can provide me with a guide to unlock my boot loader and get gingerbread specific to my phone ( please use noob terms as i'm not too familiar with moto modding )
my phone details:
System version - Version.4.4.20.MB860.Orange.en.GB
Firmware - 2.2.2
Baseband - N_01.95.00R
Build Number - OLYEM_U4_4.2.0
Any help is really really appreciated.
If any more details are required let me know and thanks in advance.
Ron
Somebody.... Anybody??
Have a read here

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
but from how i understand it once you have done it you can do any updates (must have read that wrong).
Many thanks for the help.
I have now unlocked my bootloader and am still on froyo 2.2.2 but am suffering from the ram problem ( only showing around 300mb ram )
Can anyone provide me with a simple guide to fix this?
Also does this now mean no more OTA updates?
Thanks in advance
No one feel like helping me out?
Well to add an incentive... If someone can provide me with a simple guide I will buy them a drink ( via paypal )
Who's thirsty?

I had the same RAM issue. There is a ROM out there with the RAM fix but you can get this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16035823#post16035823 ROM and follow the instructions on how to install it. CAUTION: You MUST verify and install the kernel version specific to your phone from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409 link.
NOTE: I am not responsible for your actions and you should always make backups of your phone before trying anything. Try downloading tenfar's CMW4 to make backup of your ROM and get Titanium bakcup pro to save the configurations on your phone.
Good luck.
so to unlock bootloader and install fastboot on my Orange 4.2.0 atrix (UK) Ill need
1.Orange/Bell/Telestra/Latin America/International users ONLY - Download IHOP
2.RSD lite 5.3.1
3. fastboot
thats correct? and what is chance of brick ?
Im on irange mate and no brick for me, got full ram too. If you want me to write you a quick guide later i will. Let me know.

Hi mate, dont have my laptop to hand to write a guide. I posted a post a while a go with links to which guides i used.

If you wanted to wait i will be making a full guide including downloads etc for us uk orange users.

Heres the quick guide I posted, If you still want a full guide written out from scratch then Ill do that soon. Read through my thread here and you shouldn't brick your atrix. - I shouldn't and won't be held responsible for anything that you do to your own device happy unlocking.
Hey thanks for all the support. There are loads of noob Orange Atrix users waiting for Gingerbread OTA. I am one of them. Is there a guide tailor made for Orange UK users that I can follow? Also, if I use this, and the oTA comes through, can we flash back to that, or will it brick? And once bricked, what can we do? Ive got no insurance and brick will NOT be good, when I try to backup up from the (Boot + Volume Up = Android Recovery) all I get is the Android Logo staring at me with an exclamation mark. I understand you probably have a lot on your plate milky kid, but we are all FED UP waiting for Motocraps OTA. Thanks for any support you can offer.
Hi peeps
I have bought a thr33 Galaxy ace. Ive used an unlock code so i can use any sim but im wanting to update and remove the stock branding if its possible. Ive spoke to another guy who said to use titanium. So ive rooted the phone and used titanium to remove all s/ware i can see as apps on the phone but i still have the thr33 logo on start up which i want rid of and id like to install a newer f/ware. After rooting ive tried to update thru Kies with official f/ware but the phone loses its usb connection when trying to update.
Phone details as it stands :
f/ware : 2.2.1
Baseband : S5830NEKA3
Kernel : 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected]#1
Build : FROYO.XWKAB
Its is rooted.
Ive got some iphone JB experience and i can follow instruction no problem so if anyone can just point me in the right direction as to solve my problem id be very grateful.
Thanx in advance
avoid kies. it would do u more harm than good. use odin to upgrade to gingerbread.
heres a good tutoral with screenshot
u can use other firmware, not just kph like stated in that tutorial. but i u really wanna follow that tutorial make sure its odin complete package, not onepackage. and i suggest using blackhawk rom
btw on 6th step on that tutorial, u'll probably just see "downloading" yellow text on screen, not "an android robot digging with a shovel"
and on the blackhawk rom thread, ketut already pointed howto install his rom, but without screenshot.
Thanx so much for your help before I use them I just want to check that I wont have any problems with my phone being thr33 branded ? If theres a chance of bricking because of the branding what should I do before hand ?
Used the Tutorial. the blackhawk rom download didnt work. Im pleased to say that i followed the tut to the word and its worked for me no problems. My phone was rooted but i didnt change anything b4 this update. My phone was branded and it is now NOT BRANDED after using this tutorial. I had to change the language from russian to english. Search youtube "how to change language on galaxy S". I also had to update my carrier settings. im with giffgaff and theres an app on the android market for apn update. i used wifi to download and update. My phone is now up and running, ive just goto to repload all my apps. Thank You
Just a question, you bought your unlock code?
Good Evening,
I understood that each device has different ways to get rooted.
If that is wrong I am sorry.
Now... I have a Vodafone 845 and saw great apps on market only for rooted devices.
Normally I would like to have those.
I surfed the xda Forum and found some discuss about this device but root links are to x10 (sony ericsson I believe).
Because of my understanding that confused me.
Anyway, I am dummy in android and did`t understand a lot from those procedures.
My request is: would you guys please make a step by step guide for dummies (with simply english) like me in android?
THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
My devise characteristics are:
Vodafone 845 ( Huawei U8120 ?)
android 2.1 update 1
baseband version 2210
kernel version 2.6.29-perf
locked in Vodafone Romania.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Respectfully.
Wonderful
This is absolutely great!!!
So many advice, so many guidance!
I really can`t choose between those.

Hey bro I just saw ya post now, I too have a vodafone 845. What you must first do is root your device using superboot, and then you need to pur a custom recovery using amonra recovery. Our device is synonymous with the u8120. If you search for any roms dealing with u8120, you can use it on this device as well. You should connect the phone via usb to a win7 pc and then follow the directions on how to root etc. These directions can be found on the page that deals with Fresh Zodiac Fruit by Cedric. If you follow these directions to the letter you will have no problem rooting your device and installing a custom rom. Once you have a custom rom on, I would advise installing rom manager from the market. Once Rom manager is installed, flash Huawei Ideos 1 recover image. Then put cm7 u8120 slyking on your sd card and flash that, it is, as far as I am concerned, the best rom for this phone nowdays. When you got some experience using and flashing roms, download v6 supercharger and play around with that, you will be amazed at the results. Anyways bro, just remember vodafone 845=U8120. Once you got this, searching is easy.
THANK YOU
Thanks Bro , I just saw your reply.
Just when I lost any hope of a reply.
From your reply seems a lot of trouble to root my device.
I rooted my phone and now of course I got a bigger problem.
From the moment I bought the phone I hated the calendar,
so I tried lots of calendar apps from the market and stopped the search when
I found aCalendar which suited me excelent.
yesterday after I rooted the phone I erased the original calendar.
This morning when I tried to open the aCalendar ...surprise,
the app didn`t open and the screen shown: OnCreate|NullPointerException null şi apoi OnResume|......
I restored to factory settings and nothing ... same message.
Would you help me please with that?
Or some guru, PLEASE HELP.
Hi guys.
Totally Noob here.
First of all, i admire to helping ppl here, and many smart and genious hard working gys!
I flashed my x10i (i can swear, it was x10i !!) to 2.3.3, baseband ver.2.1.71,all was ok, till i spoted the phone converted to x10a(!?).
Also i have noticed some gray spot on my pictures, i suppose it's a software problem, what do you think?
And my music getting glitchy while playing on, if moving the phone. All the rest working great:silly:
So., i would like to downgrade to previuos firmware (cant find a healthy mirror link, so if someone could help, i'd appreciate it), but dont remember was it 2.1 or 2.2(
So what do you suggest in my case plz?
p.s.
the phone is still sim locked, is there some software solution here to unlock, cuz cant unlock by code.
thx for all answers!
Hi, maybe ya messed during flashing your rom. If rooted, try check ya buiklprop, see is there any line mentioning "x10a", try change it into "x10i" and reboot phone. Ur rom is official updated or custom? 2.3.3GB music player is wellknown buggy non smooth. Only can be solved if using other music player that supported. And about the link for 2.1 here from MY BUDDY'S thelogic hope helps

no free solution for unlocking your sim.
Also the camera works perfectly in 2.3.3
either reflash the 2.3.3 rom using flashtool or repair using PCC or SEUS.
If music still is glitchy, use some stock based custom roms
