Rooting using the Exploid method:
http://android.doshaska.net/x10miniroot
Guide:
This hack http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2010/07/android-trickery.html is almost universal.
I've compiled and tested a version for X10 mini.
Download: exploid_x10mini.zip
- download and extract the archive...
You will need ADB from Android SDK and USB drivers for X10 mini (part of Sony Ericsson PC Companion).
Enable USB debugging on the phone in Settings>Applications>Development and connect the phone to PC via USB.
Add the Power Control widget to your active widgets on the phone, so you can quickly turn off and on the wi-fi function.
From the command line (on windows it's cmd.exe):
cd c:\exploid_x10mini (or another folder where you've extracted the files from exploid_x10mini.zip)
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid
adb push busybox /sqlite_stmt_journals/busybox
adb shell
cd sqlite_stmt_journals
chmod 755 exploid
chmod 755 busybox
Immediately after the next command, you will need to disable and enable the wi-fi using the power widget on the phone:
./exploid
then run:
rootshell
enter password rootnow
prompt will change to # - now we have root
./busybox cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/
./busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/
./busybox cp busybox /system/bin/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
rm /system/bin/rootshell
exit - out of rootshell
exit - out of adb shell
Verification:
When you run the abd shell again and issue su command, the Superuser.apk will run on the phone and will ask whether to allow the root permissions...
Mod edit: I felt it was better to have the guide her for new users. Or people not trusting external links.
Nice one ! Really !

Bin4ry
Works too on Mini Pro !
Nice one !!!
gratz! Can't wait to get home and see if it works on an X10 Mini Pro.
edit: just read bin4rys update. woo!
Confirmed:Mini Pro got root.
Xperia Mini pro U20i.
Now with "ROOT" it should be "easy" to remove the applications that the network providers install by default. Maybe i'm wrong.
in the adb shell
rm -r /system/app/*********.apk
Have to try this at home.
Working perfectly in X10 mini (E10i), many thanks Kabaldan!
To remove or copy apps, the path would be:
adb shell
$su
#busybox rm -r /system/app/<file.apk> --removes the app
#busybox cp /sdcard/<file.apk> /system/app/<file.apk> --copies the app from SDCard

Just download the SDK from the link in the guide, extract adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll, adbwinusbapi.dll to the dir where you have your exploid root and try it.
rooted my mini. i can remove apps from system folder or rename app, but when i try something like mv LearningClient.apk /sdcard/backups i get failed and reason Cross-device link . Any help ? Also cp command not found
EDIT: using busybox for that
is it "reversible"?
Thanks Phenombox, but now I get this
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk

Be sure to install the Sony Ericsson PC Companion, and remember to enable USB Debug under Settings>Programs->Development (on your phone)..
After that connect your phone in "Charge only" state, then run the command...
oh thankx man. I didnt have it on "charge only".
So Im finished rooting. How do I verify this thing ? I dont quite understand what he means...

adb push C:\fascinate\rage.bin /data/local/tmp/rage.bin
adb push C:\fascinate\busybox /sdcard/busybox
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 rage.bin
./rage.bin
wait....
when it brings you back to your original shell in windows then follow these commands
adb shell (you should see # this time instead of $ this is exactly what we want)
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
cd /system/xbin
cat /sdcard/su > su
cat /sdcard/busybox > busybox
chmod 4755 su
chmod 4755 busybox
exit
adb install C:\fascinate\Superuser.apk
This is permanent.
I just updated the files here with the latest su / superuser.apk / busybox

Its supposed to be a temporary root so i doubt it will.
This works on any android phone up to 2.2. I have confirmed this works on my epic, so th same sould work here.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
see below.
confirmed root.
Had to use Superuser.apk 2.3.6.1 and the su binary in the package, but the rest worked.. except for that cat command? Why would you cat binary files instead of copying them? (not complaining, just curious). I just adb pushed them to /system/xbin, and adb shell chmod'd them.
You also have a typo near the end "scard" instead of "sdcard".
You can also use mv or cp. I just happen to use cat because I used it the other day rooting my friends stock 2.2 droid. Which required me to use cat.
And yes this is permanent
Cool, i tried using rm -rf to get rid of a directory I created accidentally, and was getting some syntax errors, so I wasn't sure how compatibile the command line on android was to linux.
Glad it's pretty close. Being very familiar with linux makes this pretty easy to understand. Day 1 with an android device was pretty darn fun. I think I'm glad I went this direction.
I just followed this and used the same files I had from my Droid 2 (just updated the Superuser.apk from this sites thread for it) and works perfectly. Rebooted phone did "adb shell" and "su" and still have root, so it is permanent
side note: steps say "/system/xbin" and assume you meant "/system/bin" like Droid 2 was. That's where I put them and it worked.

Your USB mode might be set wrong. Flip it to whatever it's not at, and try again.

I dunno, ~20-30 seconds? Assuming sound is enabled you should hear the same USB device connected/disconnected sounds.
If you want to be 100% sure just wait like 90 seconds. I'm pretty sure it killed my shell though, so if it does that, you're good to go.
ok, adb recognizes the device *see below, however when i type adb push su /sdcard/su i get cannot stat 'su': no such file or directory. ?

su is a file (for our purposes right here, anyway). Unless you explicity specify its path, it needs to be in the same directory you're running the adb command from.
If you installed the Android SDK per guidelines, adb should be in your PATH environment variable, and you should be able to execute it from any directory. If you didn't do that, then for the sake of simplicity, copy all the files referenced in the original steps to your working directory. From your post above, it appears that is c:\downloads\android\android\tools\
I got stuck at cat /sdcard/su > . Is that supposed to be > .? It won't let me enter that...There's not something else that's supposed to be there?
EDIT: I get the same error faspalma
I'm stuck at that point too. cat /sdcard/su > . returns "cannot create .: is a directory"

ops.if you have working rootshell, you can replace it using rootshell. but, since you've go back to 1.6, it doesn't matter. just install xrecovery in the future, quite useful.

adb won't stay open if you click it, it will just flash out on the screen.
it was supposed to be somekind of a "bridge" for the cmd and the phone...
correct me if i'm wrong please...
You have to copy cmd.exe to the SuperOneClick folder, then you have to open the cmd.exe, not the superonecklick.exe.

I think it works if your phone is charged by your laptop/computer only. You do not allow it to connect. I mean you can not reach SDCard through Total Commander, etc. only charging.

WARNING #2: Confirmed that this doesn't work with 4.0.2.A.0.62
MAJOR WARNING - ICS (4.x) doesn't work with it & any update to GB (2.3.x) after November 2011 won't either.

Hello
I am completely new to Android but not at all new to Linux.

In an attached file, I fixed/modified/added few things in paxchristos script. Here is the detail:
1) Fixed error in symlinking su. (source/destination were same)
2) Don't delete (and recreate) /data/local/tmp/ directory unnecessarily, just delete its contents
3) Uses dd instead of cp (because DooMLoRD's script does, dont know why!). Update: as per anantshri, dd is used because cp has been known to give errors.
4) If your system already has 'adb' then it uses system 'adb' instead of one in zip-archive.
5) Updated zip archive to contain the latest files from DooMLoRD's archive (paxchristos archive seemed old)
Please try/verify and let me know if I missed something.

Thanks I wasn't trying to be stuck up or anything, just wanted credit.
Awesome...I've been watching the Zerg thread with bated breath and I didn't have to wait long.
i just wish I had my damn usb cable with me right now.
Big thanks to all involved, I will be trying this asap.
Is there a way to un-root? Just curious...
Step-by-literal-step
If you feel like seeing the step by step PDF Guide, go to these : attached to post #1, or:
At dropbox.com: http://db.tt/RaAUnzjW
At Ubuntu one: http://ubuntuone.com/64OujxgkGMv1N2QSoPmXin
or at Filesonic: http://www.filesonic.com/file/2730341354
If you're doing the script rooting in linux, do these things first
1) Download and unzip file (it's below at dropbox.com or ubuntu one; or it's posted in #1 as an attachment)
2) open up terminal
3) type "su"
4) enter your password
4a) if you don't have su set up
4b) type "passwd"
4c) enter you username password (no, there will be no ***s to show that you entered anything, just hit enter when you've inputted your password)
4d) input a password for root (unix) (no, there will be no ***s to show that you entered anything, just hit enter when you've inputted your password)
4e) type "su" and enter your password
5) navigate to location you unzipped the file to (chrome default download is /home/[your username]/Downloads)
6) type "chmod 755 runme-linux"
7) type "cd files"
8) type "chmod 755 adb"
9) type "cd .."
10) type "./runme-linux"
11) type "exit" x2 to exit terminal
12) enjoy your rooted play!
Here's the script (and all applicable files) (totally ripped off DooMLoRD's code, thank him, please, for me), go to these links:
At dropbox.com: http://db.tt/a4H6QFfV
At Ubuntu one: http://ubuntuone.com/7mD63kpsKzGmaou5hcftBV
Here's the linux script code
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#This is DooMLoRD's script for windows. I've ported it to linux
#Somethings to remember
#1) Chmod this file!! ("chmod 777 runme-linux")
#2) Run this script as su in terminal (if you haven't set up your su password run the command "passwd" in terminal, it'll ask you for your username password, and then you'll type in a root password. NOTE: You will not see any changes (i.e. *** representing typed letters) but the password is still being inputted.
#I skipped all of DooMLoRD's info because I'm using VIM and don't feel like rewritting it

Thank you to: cl8rs for stumbling up zergRush,
Ch4lky, ieftm, and the Revolutionary team for making (and updating zergRush)
CrimsonSentinal13 for getting us from adb root to phone rooted!
DooMLoRD for doing the script in windows, and giving me something to work off of!
Have fun people, and enjoy!!
Note: With the stock kernal, we cannot overclock, but you can underclock your cpu
Note2: Drivers were added to the first post (Crimsonsentinal13) for sake of keeping everything simpler added drivers for Xperia Play -- to get them to work (if you don't already have them installed, goto device manager, find the SEMC driver (it might show up as android device or unknown device) then update driver, and point it to this zip (unzipped, of course)
Note3: Android SDK Download link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Note4: Unrooting?? Who would want to unroot?? One way I unrooted (using my wife's Casio Commando was to uninstall superuser.apk, and the busybox installer (i know, i didn't get rid of everything) but at that point, unless the Verizon/Phone Company employee is a genius, they won't know whether or not you're rooted
Note5: OTA Updates. We don't know what'll happen. If one comes, DENY until we can figure out what'll happen... Most likely, it'll just lose root (hopefully temporarily, we won't know until we get there) but if it bricks all the rooted Plays, I don't want an angry mob with pitchforks at my or Crimsonsentinals13's doorstep
Note6: Updated guide!! Hopefully I fixed all the errors that were in there before (thank you to all the users that pointed them out to me) and added a few things.
Note6B: Somebody had a problem with a busybox installer not downloading from the android market. attached a free one off android market that I used. I only have guesses why this happened (pm setInstallLocation 2...?) but here one is so you have that option as well...
Note6C:I also attached insecure adb. Insecure ADB is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL and should only be downloaded and installed AFTER YOU HAVE ROOT if you want to use root in adb after you reboot. Again COMPLETELY OPTIONAL and you won't necessarily need it.
Note7: As jeffkhlam found out, at no point do you need fastboot. This doesn't unlock the bootloader (no custom roms.)
Note8: If you're having issues doing this, I'll be hopping on and off the thread between 8:00am until about 11:00pm Central Standard Time. If it's not between those hours, please wait, we'll get around to helping you!
Will it work with a locked bootloader

Yep. My Xperia PLAY is brand new & I got it to work w/o unlocking the bootloader.
I think you forgot the Windows driver you mentioned....
sorry, i was doing it all in linux, and i forgot them they're updating in 5 seconds...

So if i do this and root the device but still locked bootloader does that mean that i cant install cyanogenmod?
But can used root applications?

Yes that's correct it's only for root apps etc. You need to unlock your bootloader for flashing custom roms and kernels. So no CyanogenMod without unlocking your BL.

Is this is also the correct steps for r800i's ?
I'm on 2.3.3 with my r800i , i won't lose anything using this method, with a locked bootloader, just want/need root access lol

zergRush isn't a directory, it's a binary. Using the cd command won't work on it.
See the guide I posted, now has info to get past annoying stutters
Anybody stuck at step 16, input the following commands
1) cd /data/local/tmp
2) rm boomsh
3) rm sh
4) continue on with rooting!

Hi guys
I've imported the SH-06D from Japan and the phone is running great, however I'd like to remove some system apps etc to help speed up the phone (it's still on 2.3.5) and obviously tweak it as well.
I know there is an existing thread on the SH-01D (predecessor to the SH-06D) but I'm wondering if anyone has successfully rooted the SH-06D and if so, is there an (easy) process to do this?
Another reason I want to root, is to install the UI from the upcoming Evangelion Nerv edition of the SH-06D that is due to be released in a few days.
ICS for the SH-06D is just around the corner (due to be released in July) but I'd realy appreciate any help, assistance or tips in rooting the phone as it is now.
Cheers! :fingers-crossed:
Anyone?
:-(
here is a link to root the sh-06d :
http://itsuki.ddo.jp/gadget/index.php?SH-06D
THANK YOU!
Have you tried this method and does it work? Can you assist me in following those directions?
Cheers

I want to know untill now has SH-06D been rooted?
I wish someone could dump ROM or launcher from SH-06 NERV version:fingers-crossed:
I'm working on the translation for root on Sharp Aquos SH-06D.
Please give me one or two more days!
That is highly impossible, having full root in J Phone are hard enough. Unlocking the bootloader is a wet dream for almost everyone who likes J phone

I'm trying to hard reset my SH-06D, but I can't do it via settings-privacy. I can select to wipe, but nothing happens.
Any suggestions?
I got the Nerv edition
Hey man, how did the rooting go? I ordered the Nerv edition of this phone, and I want to root it (mainly to pair my sixaxis controller for psx emulation) but wanted to consult with you first as a precaution.
Here is the a rough translation of the root guide found here:
http://itsuki.ddo.jp/gadget/index.php?SH-06D
Big thanks to testnumero for the help!
Please don't ask me directly for help. I don't own this phone.
A quick look at root
• With root you can freeze preinstalled bloatware and backup application settings and game save data.
• 3D content from /system can be played on other devices and 3DTVs.
Unresponsive apps can be frozen which will help the device run smoother and have a longer battery life.
Applications which are frozen disappear from your drawer making the device look cleaner and keeping your mind at ease.
• The process is similar to the one used for SH-01D.
• If an update patch is released or the Android 4.0 summer update is released then this guide will no longer be of help.
(Make sure your device is the following: Android Ver. 2.3.5 Build No. 01.00.03)
• If your device becomes a paperweight I won’t be held responsible.
• Follow this guide at your own risk.
↑
Preparations – Before you begin
• Install Android SDK and SHARP ADB USB drivers and make to use ADB.
• 「Settings」→「Applications」→「Development」→「USB Debugging」 checked.
• SH-06D and micro USB cable to connect to your PC
↑
Required Files
• Download "shdisphook" from the following link and extract.
http://goo.gl/Bs6Iq
• Download shsdgetroot-omap4.zip from the following link and extract.
http://www1.axfc.net/uploader/File/so/78144
• Download shbootgetroot-su.lzh from the following link and extract.
http://www.mediafire.com/?6i0n32jlwbxe8cp
• Keep all extracted files in the same folder.
↑
Creating files
• Create a file named "shdisphook.bat" in the folder with the extracted files.
Copy and paste the following and save.
adb push onload.sh /data/local/
adb push libsdservice_jni.so /data/local/
adb push shdisphook /data/local/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/onload.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/shdisphook
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device shell /data/local/shdisphook
pause
• Create a file named "oncmd.sh" and put the following in the description.
(Save the line break as LF)
chmod 777 /cache
chmod 666 /cache/recovery
• Replace the contents of the file "installfile.cmd" with the following and save.
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chmod 777 /sbin"
adb push su /sbin
adb push busybox /sbin
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chown 0.0 /sbin/su"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chown 0.0 /sbin/busybox"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chmod 6755 /sbin/su"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chmod 755 /sbin/busybox"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/sbin/busybox --install -s /sbin"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chmod 755 /sbin"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/mount -o ro,remount -t rootfs rootfs /"
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/
adb shell /system/bin/pm install -t -f -r /data/local/Superuser.apk
adb shell /system/bin/rm /data/local/Superuser.apk
exit /b
↑
Step 1
• Open command prompt to the folder with the extracted files and navigate to "shdisphook".
Execute "shdisphook.bat". (You can also just double click on the .bat file)
• The device will reboot so just wait for the [Press any key to continue] message to appear.
If more than a few minutes have passed and nothing has appeared then, force close and execute "shdisphook.bat" again.
(When you fail your PC will reboot or your SH-06D WiFi will start. There is a high rate of success when you immediately unlock the lock screen for your device when it goes to sleep.)
↑
Step 2
• Open command prompt and send oncmd.sh to SH-06D to change permissions
adb push oncmd.sh /data/local/oncmd.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/oncmd.sh
• 「Settings」→「microSD and device storage」→「Unmount microSD」 This will execute the file "oncmd.sh" , which was sent to the device earlier.
(Cancel the message for 「Unmount microSD」)
• Enter the following commands.
adb shell mv /cache/recovery /cache/recovery_
adb shell ln -s /dev/shsd /cache/recovery
• Execute the following adb shell ls -l /cache and if you see the following message you have succeed.
drwxrwx--- root root 2011-11-11 03:39 lost+found
drw-rw-rw- system cache 2012-01-24 10:48 recovery_
lrwxrwxrwx shell shell 2012-03-02 13:24 recovery -> /dev/shsd
• Next execute adb shell ls -l /dev/shsd you should get the following message if you were successful.
crw-rw-rw- system cache 231, 0 2012-04-23 02:01 shsd
↑
Step 3
• Execute adb push shsdgetroot-omap4 /data/local
• Execute adb shell /system/bin/chmod 755 /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4
• Execute adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -v -m -u
• The “# “mark will appear there will be no response. Close command prompt for now.
• Execute installfile.cmd
• Check if you have root with the following adb shell→su
↑
After you reboot
• After you reboot you will lose root rights so execute shdisphook.bat→Cancel Unmount microSD →execute installfile.cmd and you should have root again.
The reason why you cannot do a clean wipe or nothing happen is because the recovery section has been move out into another location, causing it to not loading the recovery correctly.
Check with SH-01d part, I have asked similar question there and I revert the recovery in order to wipe the phone..
You need to rearrange the following section like on the sh-01d when you hit this part:
(Following is Original command that you relocated the recovery for root)
adb shell mv /cache/recovery /cache/recovery_
adb shell ln -s /dev/shsd /cache/recovery
And replace with the revert command found on sh-01d thread. You will need to redo all the steps from step 1 to step 2 and STOP AFTER YOU REVERT the RECOVERY.
You should be able to do a full wipe with no issue then. DO NOT POWER DOWN or RESET!!! You will have to REDO it again as it REQUIRES SHDSIHOOK to input shell command.
Hope it helps

Rooting China phones in windows and linux
Try one of these:
1. Using linux {Recommended}Install Ubuntu or DebianEither
Install the android-sdk.
dl.google●com/android/adt/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130717.zip <==x86
dl.google●com/android/adt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130717.zip <==x86_64
or
Just get the standalone adb and fastboot executables
texasice-cream-sandwich-mirror.googlecode●com/files/adb_fastboot.zipInstall ia32-libsRun this in a terminal
Code:
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5
Now download the files required for root and put it in the same folder as adbmir●cr/GDEPZT4VAfter you finish installing the files,
Connect your device with debugging mode enabled
Run
Code:
cd path/to/adb
where "path/to/adb" is the directory of your adb file
Now run
Code:
sudo chmod a+x adb
sudo chmod a+x fastboot
>>Root
Code:
./adb devices
./adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
./adb push su /data/local/tmp
./adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
./adb shell
Chmod and run the exploit under adb shell
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 psneuter
./psneuter
Now re-engage an adb shell to check if the exploit worked.
Code:
./adb kill-server
./adb devices
./adb shell
If you see a # sign, the exploit was was successful. Otherwise repeat from >>Root
Now run these on the same adb shell
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./busybox ash
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
mv /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 777 /system/app/Superuser.apk
cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/busybox
Now reboot your device and open up SuperSU. Let it update the binary.
Your device should be rooted. 2. Use Windows + MoboroboMethod 1 {Recommended but hard}
Download Moborobo from
Code:
moborobo●com
This software can Install drivers for many china phones and other branded phones.
After installing Moborobo download the files required for root
Code:
mir●cr/GDEPZT4V
Extract the files to the installation directory of Moborobo.
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Moborobo
Run a CMD window under that directory and type
Code:
xcopy AndroidInterface.exe abd.exe
Connect your device in debugging mode & Open up Moborobo, It will install the drivers.
Keep Moborobo open & Follow the instructions mentioned in >>Root
P.S- the linux commands begin with a "./" remove this in windows or else it won't work. Note: Wherever I mentioned a terminal, the windows equivalent to this would be cmdMethod 2 {Easier}
Download and Install Moborobo just like above and run this under a cmd on that folder
Code:
xcopy AndroidInterface.exe
Also download UnlockRoot or SuperOneClick
To make sure the adb files are same, Copy over
Code:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
to UnlockRoot's tools directory or SOC's ADB directory
Connect your device in debugging mode and open up moborobo.
Now keep Moborobo open and Run UnlockRoot or SOC. Good Luck :good:
(c) Smo0thK, team BL4CKF1R3
Press thanks if I helped you.
Nice tutorial you have posted Smo0thK. Please also comment on the following points.
1) Which tablets have you tried the above methods to get root access. Since most of the tablets in Indian market are from China, same would be the situation in Bangladesh and similar techniques can be used. Please list their Brand and model numbers.
2) I personally use a Penta IS701c which actually is pre-rooted from factory but the su command does not work because configuration is messed up. (# prompt in ADB shell indicates root access) Many of these Chinese tablets come pre-rooted from factory but to get su command working things have to be cleaned up. What is your experience about this.
3) Android 3.1+ devices must support USB Host mode but most of the tablets are lacking support. (Use USB Host Diagnostics app to find out).
Have you found any tablet that supports USB Host mode without a custom kernel.
Best Regards,
Vineet Kumar
