Latest Root-Mediascape - Timescape - XPERIA X10 Android Development

Hi
I recently rooted to the latest root 26. Everything is working well but for some reason Mediascape and Timescape are not working?
The error says that Timescape/Mediascape has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I searched the forums and couldnt find a solution? I rooted 2 times and the results were the same.
Thanks for the help.

I also have this error with Timescape.

did you by any chance root from something like 023-026 using the root from any rom to 026 file? cuz I've seen a few people that have had this problem.. try getting root 024 first, then download the update 024-026, should be fine after!!
hope it helps!!

I was having problems like this when I tried to upgrade from 023. So I re-rooted, following the root process steps as normal. Then applied the 026 patch and all is working fine.
If all else fails, try-re-rooting.

thanks for the quick response,
also are you guys facing any issues with installing apps from the sd?

Try to reinstall the Timescape and Mediascape from the system/app folder, Initially it will give error command at the end of the installation. Afterall check whether Mediascape is working or not. if not try again- this time it must work.
Make sure that to do same with mediascape plugin.

I updated with SEUS to 026 and used the exploid/mini root and mediascape works fine here. Might be worth a shot to just do a standard restore and use a userland root method.

Cant install apps anymore after root

Hi
After rooting to r2ba026 last night, everything went well unti i discovered today that all the apps i downloaded cannot be installed anymore. It says "..... could not be installed on this phone". I have the latest busybox installed on the market. I can install apps easily from the market. Please HELP! I dont want to redo the rooting anymore
In settings then applications, is your 'unknown sources' option checked?
Sent from my rooted 026 x10i using swype via xda!!
Yes, that option is checked. I thought Il solve it by rooting again, but after about an hour after root, the problem comes back. I use to file "full r2ba026 from any rom" something like that, then apply the fix.

I think the culprit is Titanium Backup. I manually install my apps after rooting and the problem was solved.
Hmm.. odd! I don't have that issue but I gues you could try it!
Sent from my rooted 026 x10i using swype via xda!!
Maybe one of my backup app f*ck my system. I just installed all of it manually and the problem never came back
well I rooted again last night but the prob is back this morning. Manually installing everything and all settings is gonna be a severe pain. Is there an alternative to titanium if its that which is causing this?

[Q] Regarding x10 Root update from rooted 024 or lower to 026+root [Solution include]

My current X10i is rooted with R2BA023 and I am wondering if it is possible to update to R2VA026 without wiping all the apps and contacts. If I have to, what are the steps to update to 026. Do I have to use the original root methods all over again? Thanks, I'm still very new to android.
[So, after the experiments and discussion we have concluded the best way to update rooted firmware is to use SEUS with the update option "This option allows you to update your phone with all apps and user information untouched" Then download the one click root APK to root your device, make sure you also downloaded the market fix to ensure full services from the market.]

In SEUS you can update without losing your contacts or messages, I have done this at least once.
But I dont remember if the apps were left untouched, I have done to many reflashes since then.
Use SEUS to go to 026 and the the One Click Root to, well, root...
But please, make a backup first, Titanium seems to be useful for this.

thanks! I'm trying the SEUS update right now.
for those who are interested in doing the same thing. I found out you can make seus update only the firmware, keeping all the apps and personal information untouched. I updated from my rooted 023 to official 026 then used the 1click root .apk. Everything worked smooth like silk. In case if anyone is interested in doing the same thing my result was a perfect success. (btw, don't forget to use the market fix)
Just to be sure, I have rooted X10i R2BA023 so I can update it with normal SEUS update procedure without problems? And after update I just run 1click Root and restore with Titanium backup?

The answer would be yes.
Rooting is no problem, but as will89 said, the applications will be kept if you update your phone with SEUS and keeps the user data (there are 2 choices in SEUS).
Please BACKUP ! (at least your vital data, and before..)

Yes, my phone was originally a rooted 023 and I simply updated the firmware through SEUS, the update was fast and smooth. Once it was done, the firmware became the official 026 which then I used the 1 click root apk to complete rooting. Everything worked painlessly and all my contacts and apps remained untouched, though I would suggest you to still make a backup with titanium just in case like what MattiL said

Rooting unsuccesful?

Usually, i use z4root to root my x10. Its very easy and fast
But since yesterday, I messed up my phone and all those apps gone in the menu, but the memory is still there
So i decided to restore with SEUS
i updated to a newer software
after that, z4root no longer working
SuperOneClick v1.5.5 also not working as well
Can anybody tell me any solution or ways to root the phone?
Thanks

You've updated to a new ROM which, until now, is unrootable. However, you can flash the previous ROM, re-root it and then flash zdzihu's pre-rooted ROM along with JiT.

[Q] Can't install busybox (and as a result xrecovery)

I have a X10 Mini Pro with fw 2.1-1 on which I can't seem to install Busybox, and as a result xrecovery and custom ROMs. It rooted fine with SuperOneClick.
I downloaded Titanium Backup (free version) and installed Busybox 1.16.0 from there (which is confirmed by Titanium) but according to some sources this Busybox version is only for use with Titanium Backup. This would be confirmed by Root Check which says the device is rooted but does not have Busybox. Next I tried the Busybox Installer from the Market but all versions fail with a generic fail to install error message. Finally I tried this thread which suggests installing an apk but that failed with a "problem parsing the package" error in Root Explorer.
Have to admit I'm a iOS user which I of course jailbreak until the cows come home, so this phone has me baffled. Rooting, installing xrecovery and custom ROMs on a ZTE Blade was also very strait-forward, but I just can't understand what I'm doing wrong here.
Any ideas are much appreciated!
Hey, the thread you linked is from the mini forum, not the mini pro.
Look in this one and see if it helps with anything.
Thanks for the link, used to install xrecovery but it still doesn't work. I can see the installation happening, the file permissions being changed, and finally getting a "done" and the phone rebooting but pressing the back-key during boot does nothing.
I assume this is still because of the lack of Busybox being installed (Root Check confirms this). It's a prerequisite of xrecovery after all, and the script doesn't install Busybox outside of what Titanium Backup does (which, from what I've read, is not a "true" Busybox).
Therefore - how can I make sure a standalone Busybox is installed?

my suggestion would be to try this one. this installs xrecovery everytime i reflash my phone.

Works like a charm every time. Just close the superallinoneclick when the window pops up and continue following instructions

Thanks for that. Ran it but Busybox was again not installed, and xrecovery does not run as a result. I'm starting to think this is just plain weird - how can something that works on other phones not work on mine?
Any idea how I reinstall the latest original SE fw? Thinking that I'll do that and run this install right after. Perhaps my messing around has damaged what I have.

Run Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) or repair with pc companion. After fresh flash, run that script for both root and xrecovery, should work flawlessly
Sent from my X10minipro using XDA Premium App
That, unfortunately, does not work. SEUS says there's no software which is fair enough if I'm on the latest fw, but the repair option in Companion says (and I quote): "there is no new software for your phone yet". Absurd, as I want to repair not upgrade.
Any ideas? Or should I just get another iPhone?
The option to repair is really small, but it's there. Try this instead:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ed/updateservice/xperiax10minipro?cc=gb&lc=en
download that, run it, repair phone, run script.

Thanks, but that links to the SEUS which I have. Running that I got a message saying there were no updates strait away, it was only in Companion that I had the option of repairing even though that also ended up saying there were no updates instead of actually repairing. I'll have another stab at it when I get home tonight though.
i always update using SEUS, of course it tells you that u have the latest fw, but there are still an option to "Install" the fresh fw...just done it this morning

Ah ok, great. I shall try that tonight then.
Or perhaps I shall not. I just can't see where the install option is in SEUS, and I've now gone over it five times. Appreciate a pointer.
Try xRecovery 0.1.1 manual installation.
That is the ONLY one that ever worked for me.

When it tells you have that you have the latest software, in the bottom right corner it should still have a button for "Install", click that and will display a confirmation that you want to clear all data. Select yes and it should begin downloading/installing
I believe that busybox is installed in your x10... No matter what use it for.
Now try this link for your xrecovery and isntall manually.

[Q] Preferred root method for Bell Atrix 2.3.6 [A] Manual way

Hey, there seems to be a few of us(or maybe it's just me) confused about how we can root after the new update.
I just wanted to know if there was a confirmed safe way to restore root.
Thanks
Update:
Thanks to superkev. Manual way works. I can also confirm it also.
Also remember to keep your phone awake (ie. not in the locked screen)

I tried the manual instructions from here: http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root
Step 6 failed for me, possibly because I had used this method to root 2.3.4. The rest of it went perfectly. I think the 2.3.6 update changed the permissions of the su binary, so these instructions just reset that to what they're supposed to be. I am rooted again!

I can't seem to find any root information on bell atrix 2.3.6 either.
saw some unconfirmed reports that superoneclick worked, but it doesn't work for me just sits at "Failed to set prot mask"
and then "WaitforDevice" forever...
if anyone has legit root info for the bell atrix 2.3.6 posting it would be greatly appreciated.
All I want is to install it! But im in usa so I need someone to make a fruitcake of it for me. Oh and I have also read super one click is supposedly working for some.

I've got super one click working but superuser keeps denying all my root permissions without giving me a prompt.
DANGER!
So I tried SuperOneClick 2.3.1 and got my Bell Atrix 2.3.6 rooted.... all seemed good and Root Checker told me I was rooted. Light Flow got Super User permission and I thought I was gold!
Then my phone started freezing up and rebooting. Now I can't use the phone because it is crashing every 30 seconds. I would say avoid SuperOneClick (at least this version) for now!!
Oh, and SuperOneClick won't unroot my device so I'm kind of stuck. I would rather not reset my device and have to reinstall all my apps (which are backed up with Titanium Back-up, but which of course needs root to work...).
I'm just trying GingerBreak to unroot so we'll see how that goes.....
---------- Post added at 02:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 AM ----------
... OK... so GingerBreak unrooted my phone but it is still completely hooped and the crashing woes continue... anyone with a solution on which system files I might be able to replace to fix this?!?!?
Aaaarrrg!
I tried wit Pete's first and it failed but super one click worked right from the first attempt. Before doing that though, I did a factory reset and started from scratch. Then I restored my apps only with TB. All is OK except that in market my apps list is empty with a message saying that my purchased apps will appear here. I have read that it is a known problem, but not necessarily with this update or because of rooting. In my experience super one click has otherwise been OK. Hope that helps. Don't have a solution for you except maybe trying to do a factory reset first if you are able to and then try again.

Hey thanks. Yes, I ended up having to do a reset from the boot menu (power+vol down) and do an 'Android Recovery' which apparently wipes the system files and reinstalls the OS. My TB backups are still sitting on the internal SD but I am hesitant to re-root so I can reinstall TB and restore... what build of SuperOneClick did you use?
I tried with SuperOneClick 2.3.1.0 (latest). It says that it worked, but even after rebooting, my apps are being denied root access.
UPDATE:
I tried the manual instructions from here: http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root
Step 6 failed for me, possibly because I had used this method to root 2.3.4. The rest of it went perfectly. I think the 2.3.6 update changed the permissions of the su binary, so these instructions just reset that to what they're supposed to be. I am rooted again!
I just updated to 2.3.6 and used the Briefmobile method to root and can also confirm that it is working. I had previously used this method to do 2.3.4 and had no issues on 2.3.6. Cheers
I might caution those who are not on AT&T about using the "manual" root method from BriefMobile. It was built with AT&T 2.3.4 files. Flashing the root.img in fastboot flashes those files to your /preinstall folder possibly hosing your Bell specific files. This has in the past, and possibly could in the future cause issues when trying to install future updates.
For those of you who have done it, can you look in /preinstall/md5 and see if you have att files?

superoneclick 2.3.1.0
this works flawlessly and on first attempt. so easy!
gingerbreak 1.2 didn't work this time, but it was useful to me for unrooting.
just make sure you do that before installing the update, and follow the superoneclick instructions.
too early to comment on battery life, and other than the keyboard I don't notice any aesthetic changes.

Remember to flash back the original preinstall image to avoid update issues.
Cheers!

That directory does contain some ATT and Cingular files. However, I used this method to root 2.3.4 and it didn't prevent me from installing the 2.3.6 update. I'm hoping I won't have any trouble going to ICS (fingers crossed that such a thing will even happen!)

Good deal. I had to help a few revert that folder when updating from 2.2.2 to 2.3.4 due to missing the gameloft stuff, but if it didn't effect your update that's good news.
Just in case, here's the 2.3.6 Bell stock preinstall.img to flash via moto-fastboot (thanks to NFHimself's new Gobstopper): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C098P9IV

that's weird. you definitely don't need internet access to perform the root (i was offline), provided you have superoneclick and phone drivers installed i'd say. does the driver check feature complain about it too?
Yeah, i thought it was strange too. It doesn't give me that error with the driver check, only when it is going through the install process of the exe.
Sometimes you need to treat your phone like a computer when it starts acting weird, save yourself some hassle and just do a format/factory reset and start fresh.
i used Doomlord's Rooting Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1319653 it worked in 30 sec
Link to the exact Superoneclick you used? I tried the Doomloader link but it's broken.
