hello guys i wana root my phone but i dont know which 1 to root with .
1- with the 5 step rooting or with 1 click on your phone rooting ? does it gives u the same root i mean will both ways ur phone will be rooted? and im on FW 20 and how would i get FW 26?do i have to root first or update to fw 26 1st ?. i wana know if some1 with x10a has tried it ? and i already debrand my phone rooting is next so please help me.
hey
i have an xperia x10A from rogers in canada. i had updated it using SEUS and then rooted it to the FW 23 rom. anyways the new easy method came out and i decided to root to the FW 26. it was very simple, just go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7490733#post7490733
and download the megaupload rar file that is headed as
Exploid Root for X10a (contains Generic R2BA026 X10a) (it is the first download in that post)
once u have that downloaded, unrar it into a folder and read the text file named IMPORTANT.txt
the instructions are pretty clear from that point, and when ur ready to run the 'RootX10a_v2.cmd' file, just right click it and run it as administrator. follow the instructions and u should have it rooted to the latest 26 rom.
NOTE that all ur stuff will be lost in this transition so back up whtever u can before u do it.
good luck hope i helped!

I have tried several of the root methods, all works, but this is the easiest one !
You dont have to worry about your phones device ID, java or anything else, just smile !
And to give a comment to the previous post, reflashing removes all your installed applications, but does not remove anything from your sdcard or SIM-card.
I recommend updating to 026 with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) and then root with the above method.

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
i will give that an try.
Let me start by saying that there are other threads on this, I'm aware, but I have yet to find a solution. So I bought a sony ericsson xperia x10a around November, and I'm sick of waiting for a 2.1 update to hit the US, given that it probably never will. I wish to update my phone to android 2.1. Now, I've already rooted it. It is currently unrooted and back to blank slate, but I can root it again easily because I know how now. However, my problem is that to update it, I need to flash it right? So working through flashtools with the firmware .ftf I need/want I come across an interesting roadblock. I need to allow unsecure apps for it to work, apparently. This is a problem because it cannot be done with AT&T brand on the phone. So it looks like I need to debrand it. My question is how? trying to exploit the pccompanion/seus repair function to have it debrand with blob_fs does nto work as the helper redownloads the file and overwrites the changes, so those guides seem out of date. Now, I have read in other threads that you do not need to debrand, just run flashtools, if you dont need to debrand, then how do you allow unsecure apps as flashtools instructs? Do I just ignore that? If I ignore that then wont the apps needed for the firmware not be installed? Please dont don't condescend too much to me, I have read other threads but I cannot find an answer, if its there then I'm just stupid. But I would really like some help or explanations.
EDIT: Firmware is 1.6, Baseband is 1.1.32
I used flashtool tool on my phone when i got it back from the shop and it debranded it. So i can get any app i want. There is another way to debrand but it cost money but flashtool is much easier to use.
U asked some very good questions. I repeat u arent stupid. it took me months of studying these forums before i started the ROM stuff. Let me know if u need help with flashtool.
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 CM Rom from Rendeiro2005
I have tried flashtool, but I am told to allow apps from unknown sources before continuing. Because I have a branded phone at that moment that is not an option available to me. Do I proceed anyways? Wont that just not put any apps on that I need, like android keyboard?
Hi heres a quick tutorial on what to do. This guy does many videos on flashing and such. He does a tutorial on the flashtool and other videos on how to rootand install important apps like xrecovery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9_pFOxPJUY
go to that link. It should help you in updating your phone to 2.1. Also if you have any questions i'd be glad to help you. This tutorial and other videos from this guy have shown me everything i needed though.

Hi and welcome!
I'll try to reply to your questions in the same style
Q1: There is small difference between V10c and V10D. In my opinion, it is not wise to update original fw until the official 2.3 arrives. If you upgrade from 2.2 to 2.2.2 you'll loose the ability to root your phone.
Q2: You can always downgrade your device using KDZ. If you need more info on this one, follow this thread. Just make sure to read carefully and try to understand the risk that implies flashing with KDZ. If you pass this ones, you'll be upgrading and downgrading in no-time.
Q3: You can remove pre-installed apps only if you root your phone, and use an root un-installer, or by flashing a different rom with no pre-installed apps.
To do this, you have to have Android 2.2 on your device (not 2.2.2), and use a tool like SuperOneClick Root or Z4Root. Again, you should be careful and read every warning.
To get the most from your phone, check out the threads on XDA forum regarding Optimus One Android Development or Optimus One General. There are a lot of things to do, with a lot of details and tutorials, just follow carefully.
I hope this helps you.
Cheers mate!

thanks for your kind advice .. I have tried to root using z4 root but it didn't rooted my phone instead my phone was lil bit slow after installation then i have upgraded to V10D through original firmware which shown in my pc suite .
It have tried to open the following link
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500
but it seems the link is not working.
So ..I m thinking better to wait for one more month for LG till it releases 2.3 ..
Man, you'll have to wait more than one month for 2.3... :|
About the link you cannot open, i guess it is broken, it doesn't work for me either. But you must be able to find the fw you need for your country by searching for it on google. I found mine on other forum, and it works perfect. Just google "lg optimus one <<your country>> rom" (no quotes) and you shall find it. Be sure to get the *.kdz file, not *.dz, they need some other application for flashing, and it is more complicated.
About rooting with z4root, you need to downgrade to v10C or below (maybe v10D works too, i haven't tried) and then use z4root. Make sure you have debugging checked in applications before using z4root.
If you want to root v10D or newer (but up to android 2.2.1) you should be able to do it using OneClick method, it is easy enough, though you need the drivers installed on your pc, as you will connect the device via usb.
Tell me where are you from, maybe i can get you the original fw, at least i can help finding
Cheers!

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.

Try this program : http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot . After rooting you look this video (replace Chinese Root to ENGLISH SuperSU,superuser) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULv1dXxcgxI .
Install Baidu Easy Root( En Version ).apk in ur phone and root it..it worked for me
