My x10 mini is running Android 2.1, Build number is 2.0.1.A..0.47
I can't root the phone with z4root and superoneclick.
I need someone to help me please!!
re: help
what happens exactly?
Do a repair using SEUS and then use z4root. Very easy - can't go wrong.
1. Put the z4root file on the SD-card
2. Download Astro file manager (free version from android market) and install it.
3. Use Astro to locate z4root on your SD-card and install it
4. Open z4root
5. Choose root phone
6. Wait until the phone reboots
Finished!
I did it already, and I tried a lot of ways. Still not works.
Thx
Which version do you use of z4root? 1.2? 1.3? and can you tell me what happens when you try to root, with z4root.
I ask because I and lots of other user have no problem with the z4root, I only seen one user that had to wait for around 10 min before the phone restarted. But after that was the phone rooted.

This build is the same as x8's build and we can't seem to root it either.
One thing that you can do is revert to .504 build and use that

Please try this version 1.3 of z4root it should work for you (atleast do many reports says it will work for your firmware).
Better to try and fail, then never try at all
Unfortunately it doesnt work with this build.
Thanks for trying it! I will add a notice that it dont work on your firmware in my thread.

There is NO need for any ADB commands! you only need the z4root file and to download the ASTRO file manager (free version) from Android market. And then are you ready to start to root!
Just remember to put the z4root file on your SD-card.

Hello everyone,
First of all, thanks for suchs a wonderfull forum about almost every mobile!!!
*** I don't understand a thing about developments or development terms.***
I've rooted my phone via the first root available for SE X10 ( So I could delete Moxier crap )....
Now, there's a update available via SEUS. But!!! I can't use it ... It wont install. I think it's because I've rooted my phone!
Firmversion: 1.6 Build-number: R2BA023 Model-number: X10i
Can somebody help me to take it back to factory state? ( Or a root update for 2.2 )???
I really need a good easy root progress, because I don't understand a crap about dev. language!
I hope somebody can help me!!!
Sincerely

1st of all there's no need for him/her to flash his phone that way, he/she has to use pc companion or SEUS
2.- titamium back up must be installed in order to delete moxier
3.- super one click is right to root
you must have root access to use titanium backup.
so root and delete the crap.
So what program do I need to use now?
Oh, I'm a boy^.-
But, my phone is rooted to 1.6. ( This was the only way I could delete Moxier ).
Now I want a FULL restore ( So it'll be a normal "legaly" bought phone.
So, that all roots are gone, and I'm able to update anytime.
Merci,
Mike
SuperOneClick didn't work for me. Root - Unroot - etc.
I just don't understand a thing about it !
I really need a full explanation for everything :S!
Sorry:/

superOneClick root
titanium backup
and delete the useless apps.
What's with the Titanium Backup? I don't need anything I have atm.
I already got my contacts stored in my laptop, so Titantium backup isn't needed for me.
But, if I try to root it, it says something about "Superuser" :/
Can't figure it out!
Mobile information:
Modelnumber: X10i

Thanks for your time.
Someone please help, i wanted to install miui v4.0 rom and now my fone freezes on screen that says Sony Ericsson..!!! please help i have sony ericsson x10i..
So I've been reading forum after forum and can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong and decided to do a post.
I have a X10a and recently rooted it with the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
Everything seemed to work fine and now I have the superuser.apk as well as the ADW launcher on my phone.
I've been trying to install xrecovery so that I can load some custom roms onto my phone and have tried both the manual method and using the .apk installer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
I have had no luck doing so.
I can sideload apps fine (so I guess I have superuser permission?) but my phone won't allow me to install xrecovery. Busybox also says my phone is not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've spend a couple hours every day this week working on this and searching forums and can't seem to come up with a solution. Thanks!
Hey, I had a few problems with getting xrecovery to install as well. Are you 100% sure you rooted ur x10 correctly, given that busybox says its not rooted? I used z4root to root my x10. If you used a different app to root ur X10, try this one instead. It tells you on the front screen whether ur phone is rooted or not. If it isn't rooted, try rooting it with this app. I can't post links unfortunately but you can find it easily with a google search. If not, I'd be more than happy to help you with this outside of the forum on the likes of a messenger program. Just drop me a PM if you're okay to do this.
Please explain what is going on better than I can't install. I can probably help, if I know your situation.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
you must be rooted, have busybox and superuser permissons.
Everytime I try to install it using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
which I'm assuming is the latest, I get the error message that I can't install this app on my phone (the same standard error message that you would get by trying to sideload an app before you rooted your phone). Busybox also won't install and says my phone isn't rooted. I've downloaded a few other apps that require root for functionality and I get the same error with all of them.
I do have the superuser .apk on my phone so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've re-flashed the phone three times now to try and root it and every time it seems to work, but the end product is a phone that still won't let me install third party apps.
I have the x10a in the states and don't have access to the official 2.1 update yet so I can't use any of the one click rooting methods out there. I did find this though and might try it tonight (not sure if it will work though, or if I can even utilize it). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
If I need to explain more, I will do my best. Thanks for your help!
same
Hi all,
Same issue here except that busybox is installed.
I've tried to install manually but pressing back while booting doesn't do anything but regular boot.
Help would be appreciated
install busybox from the market
Also, I can't use Z4 or anything similar as I don't have the official 2.1 update. Sony hasn't rolled it out in the states yet and considering that the end of life for the phone with AT&T is fast approaching (March or something now) I'm doubtful that they will.
So I found some other apps that allow you to check for Root Access. According to all the evidence I've collected (inability to sideload, busybox won't install, multiple root checker apps say my phone is NOT rooted) my phone wasn't rooted correctly.
I've gone through the guide to root x10a's with 1.6 3 times though and have the superuser .apk on my phone. Hope this additional information helps
Just to be precise... I've got root (titanium, copy to system works) busybox from market but it always says can't install on that phone. Tried manual installation without success. Tried gscript way but no luck.

Solved for me !!!
I finally managed to install xRecovery and Custom ROM using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Thx rendeiro2005 and all the other
Everything goes fine with "easy way" procedure.
Then installed busybox from market plus installed xRecovery.
To access it press power button and then I use to clic several time back key until I can see the recovery menus.
I think my issue was because the previous root method I used gave me a 1.6 android system and therefore xRecovery installer may not work with it.
Thanks all.
hello rooted android 2.1
Never mind I got it working. Wasn't aware there were better flash tools out there and I found one that worked for me. Thanks to everyone who tried to help
the new Flashtool version 0.2.6 works pretty well
its does the rooting, and can help to install busybox, xrecovery.
Yes Flashtool can provide "all-in-one" tool.
Flash, root, clean junk files, install apk files in just one click, install xRecovery, etc, etc, etc...
DON´T install busybox if you have xrecovery installed!!!
xrecovery
Hi everyone. I am at my wits end. I have followed everything to the letter to install xRecovery and it is not working. I have superuser working my phone is rooted and busybox is installed (root check says it is working) but the first time i tried the three apps in xRecovery were not all ticked. busy box had a cross saying something along the lines of no such directory. I reflashed my phone and went through the whole thing again and now i have red crosses on all three saying permission denied. I have gone into root explorer and everything is R/W however if i acces the three files on sdcard/data/com.zoz etc and go to permissions to turn them all on it says some file systems eg sdcards do not allow permission changes. I dont know if i need to do this but its the last thing i can think of. HELP!!!
I usualy root my phone through flashtool, its just a one click, be sure to enable the bugging and and click root. Make sure if superuser appears on ur phone, that u allow it 2!
Edit: Just read that uve successfully rooted ur phone. Did you try to install recovery through flashtool?
To make sure uve rooted ur phone, enter flashtool (enable debbugging first), click on Ask Root Perms, if ur phone IS rooted it will say so. Click on xRecovery (in flashtool ofcourse), and u will have it installed
A few days ago successfully rooted my new Optimus One using Z4root (had to download off the dev forum as its been removed from Market). Easy as. Used Titanium Backup afterwards, all fine.
However this morning updated the phone's firmware from V10b to the latest V10e (30 nov 2010) using the LG Updater. So far so good.
However once I started the phone, Z4root did not work anymore. It was still installed, would start, then after the second screen (acquiring...) it would seemingly quit and the battery got quite hot fairly quickly. Tried a few things, such as killing all services prior to running the Z4root, but no luck.
I was thinking the problem could be that I did not unroot the phone prior to the upgrade? Or does this firmware have a built-in switch to kill Z4root somehow? Anyone have a similar experience, or conversely, anyone successfully rooted a v10e model using Z4root? Any experiences, tips, suggestions shared very welcome!! Many thanks
Uninstall z4 and install gingerbreak
1)Uninstall Z4
2) Download Gingerbreak(http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=578771&d=1303829207)
3) Make sure USB debugging is enabled
4) Make sure you have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
5) Get the APK on the phone somehow, and install it
6) Open the APK, press the root button
7) Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot (note that the reboot itself can take like 10 minutes due to cache wipe)
8) Make sure the Superuser app is install and working
9) Optional: Install BusyBox from Market (I personally prefer the stericsson installer)
10) Optional: Uninstall GingerBreak, you don't need it on your phone anymore

I just installed Wolfbreaks 2.3 and tried to reboot into recovery but it would just boot into the OS. I followed the instructions on the OP and found that busyox wasn't on the apps list like it should be and titanium wouldn't run because it needed ROOT privileges. help me, how do I install root on 2.3 or is that not possible?

yes, I did every part, I followed the video posted in OP.. my phones rooted but I can't access Xrecovery what do I do?
well I just found a fix for my phone. I think installing over a 2.2 rom was at fault here, for some reason after installing Wolf's 2.3, my phone wasn't rooted (no busybox,superuser,Xrecovery) and once I tried to install xrec on my pc, it wouldn't find my phone, so after all that, I decided to try installing it on my sister's pc and it worked, my phone is rooted with xrec working. so any one out there not wanting to restore back to 2.1 when installing 2.3 SHOULD install back to 2.1, installing from custom roms causes problems, learnt the hard way,. but if there are people here that went the same way I did and don't have their x10 rooted, go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196421

I am trying to root my xperia x10 mini pro using z4root. It completes the process and returns to the app drawer(It doesn't say anything, successful or not). However when I try to install busybox it says ı don't have root access. Why does it do this? Any other methof to have root and CWM access.
I am using a guide I found here. It says first install z4root and root the phone and then install busybox ( then fileman etc.) however I cannot root it with that application.
Version 2.1.1a.0.6
Z4root doesn't work on the Pro anymore. Have a look in the Development section, there are plenty of tools that will do this for you.
