Hi Guys,
I've got a Desire, this white x10 is for my GF. It's running android 1.6, baseband 1.1.25 and is build number R2BA020.
I want to root it. I found a one touch root apk online which says, after running "woot, you're rooted". Personally, I don't think it's done anything.
I'd quite like to get Android 2.2 on here. Can someone help me achieve this?
Thanks

Ahh, really?? Is there a timeframe?

Use the 1 click root, won't damage your apps.

Hi.
You can use Titanium Backup, which is what I use but there others that are recommend too but as Mezzo said the one click root method won't affect your apps.
If i root my mobile does my warranty expires, right? so i wanted to ask how can i "unroot" my device?

Depends how you rooted it, for many of us it's just a click, but if you used one of the old methods then you would have to reflash.

Just got my X10a for ATT. Wanted to use one click rooting, but do not know how to get the app install. Keep giving me message "Install Blocked". Totally new to Android and couldn't find anything on how to install this app.

With the one Click Root - I dont believe us "AT&T users" can Install 3rd party apps...You'd have to root it the conventional way is my guess after reading a couple threads. Chances are, You're better off doing it that way anyways, Then you can Back up your APN's, and get everything working with a completely debranded, Rooted X10a

I have been trying to do this for weeks.....all I want to do is have either Live Wallpapers on my NEW 2.1 Leak......root the leak (I hear you cant) or install Amon Ra's recovery image.....
Are either of these possible? Am I SOL? Thanks!
in your words .....if you are running leaked you are SOL
Live Wallpapers is possible on leak, if you want to rewrite it.
Thanks ppl...i guess im stuck with a non rooted 2.1 that i cant do stuff with....how about swype? Can I get that?

Yet I did check the swype box....still is default keyboard
Long press on any text box and select input method. Then click on swype.

What stuff were you expecting to do? It's your own fault for installing the leak before doing some (any) research, anyway...hopefully OTA will come soon and we can root or hopefully install that. I'm running the second leak for the record.

There is no tutorial, someone needs to do some java work, and I don't have the knowledge to do it. I can point a java dev in the right direction.
So i rooted my Xperia X10i with the one click software.
I downloaded the rom manager from the market but it doesnt support the X10. How do i got about loading a rom onto it now?
no chance, you are only superuser. the bootloader isn´t open.
Ok this must sound daft but how do i do that?

Oh so its only the Xperia X10 that people are having an issue with changing the bootloader?
- install titanium back up and uninstall apps that you dont need
- install barnicle wifi for wifi tether
or
- unroot and enjoy what you have because honestly, people who rooted but has no idea what to do with root shouldn't bother to root their phones, it's harsh but sadly true
the question is : What was the goal of your rooting operation ?
changing the ROM ? (have you search informations before you begin this operation ?)
Root access provide you many usefull operatons, changing theme, cleaning unused apps, use some apps who need root...
It theses operations are not needed for you, root is not necessary for you....
I would like to load a new rom or roms onto the phone.
And anybody is welcome to do this to their phone. And this (So i was told?) is the place to ask for help. I know what root is and what i can do with it. But the Xperia is somewhat harder than other Android phones to hack.

Until the bootloader is cracked, that doesn't apply to Xperia X10 users just now.

Hello, been having wars with my provider (signal) so now im back , there's a few questions i need answered.
1. my andriod is V2.1, Build :2.0.a.0.504, is this the best build for a generic x10i from SE?
2. Will this version support multi-touch, if it requires upgrading, will it remove my settings again?
3. Im looking at doing the beta Froyo upgrade, isnt it possible to run the SE "bloat" programs like Mediascape and timescape and creatouch on it?
4. Im trying to figure away to tunnle a connection so i dont need to use easyteether, i know Froyo has this ability with it, but how can i get 2.1 to get this? or do i still require an app on my driod to do that, as i find that the app bottlenecks it from time to time. (done tests where my Internet on pc slow, but the phone quicker)
5. i ran a rooting program, where u switched off an on ur phone, and it installed a super user program, isnt there another way to just make it super user with out having to have the super user application which i could of gotten from andriod market?
Please assist
p.s aren't you guys already working on throwing out 2.3 for the x10 already? or was it just a rummor?

Froyo has the ability built in, but SE's kernel does not support native teethering. You're stuck with 3d party teethering apps.

Rooting the phone can be done without installing SU and installin SU does not root your phone. SU is a program that tells you what other programs ask for "admin" on your phone and lets you decide if they should hav it.

2.3 is being worked on, allthough the dev working on it just had a hardware failure on his HDD, so he has to start over.

Hi,
I also didn`t live near americas (hell there`s atlantic ocean between us ) and i have 435 installed.
It will wipe all your thing.
Just like format c: (**** i miss that)
The best way to do everything with just one tool is flashtool. There you can do almost everything.

Go here and get Super One click, you can also folow that tutorial but like you I was new to this and ran into a few problems following that tutorial (Very simple problems to get by but i didn't realise lol)
Any way here we go:
Things you need:
Super one click - Get it from here as this one worked for me
link2sd (off the andriod market, this alows your apps to install to sd card)
titanium backup free or pro (you can get busybox from this and also uninstall everthing you don't want on the phone but be carefull)
But first
Lets stats at the begining,
connect your phone/mount just normal connect then go here and follow the steps, after that restart your phone (Don't worry if your phone displays an error before you restart just reboot)
Now go into you settings, applications, Development then tick USB Debugging (You can also go to settings Sound and Display, Screen time Out and set it to 30 mins)
after doing so run super one click on you computer, connect your phone but select charge phone this time, then click root (If the usb conection screen reapears on your phone just re-click charge phone) and when it is done it will ask you if you want to do a test before you click yes disconect your phone reboot it, connect again in charge mode then click yes and ok to the next message then on your phone you should get a message from the super use app click allow.
righty oh asuming everything has gone well download titanium backup (free or pro, i use free lol) once installed go on it and click problem alow it with the super user, and click 'Problems?' then 'Get busybox'.
after that you'll be able to uninstall stock apps, finaly if you want your apps to gon onto your sd instead of phone memory get link2sd of the andriod market if not don't lol, once you have it go on it allow with super user and click the FAT somthing option sorry can't remember but you can't miss it (bottome one) click ok then you can sellect apps to move to your sd
and we are DONE hope this helped as I never had anyone explain in depth to me lol anyway any problems i'd be more than happy to help out
Enjoy and hope everything goes well for you

1. nope, rooting your phone will not delete any data..
2. not necessary, well if you insist, you always can backup first, for later use
3. maybe you can check this app here : this app cal MyBackup, if you like this app, you can purchase the pro version

You have to go back to stock firmware and then relock the bootloader (press the restore button in S1Tool), don't use the x10blrelock from flashtool.
I hope your signal will be back by then, and i guess you'll be stuck with ROMS that run on stock kernel.

Try Kingroot to root your device.
Thank you @Røbin would want to ask you a last question. Doing this can I increase my battery backup. I read online that Greenify increases battery upto 4 hour's. Doing this will it open my doors to this magnificent world??
Might sound irritating about my questions but I'm a newbie and scared not to brick my phone.

Well you can of course but this is all up to how you'll gonna use your phone.Root maybe give some advantage but be careful not to modify system without knowing what you are doing otherwise you might brick your phone.Greenify is good for rooted phone.It can give you some battery perfomence.

If it is a stock android 6 then rooting might be a problem at least for you or if it is a custom rom you can gain root access from the developer options in the setting.

Ok I got it.Use kingo root or king root pc app to root your phone.If this method also don't work then there is nothing you can do right now.But one way you can have root by unlocking phone bootloader.
