[Q] Newbie with SE Xperia X10 mini pro - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi everyone,
I recently receive my new SE X10 mini pro from Vodafone, and I already updated it using PC Companion!
Model: U20i
Version: 2.1-update1
Kernel: 2.6.29
Compilation: 2.0.A.0.504
And now, How can I root him?
I read that we can use z4root and found it in Market, but I did not found that program.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks

It seems that google have removed it from the market. You can find it here instead:

I tried to root just about an hour ago with Z4Mod... it seemed like it worked, superuser installed.... but when I tried to download to titanium backup to make sure busybox was installed it said I did not have root.
Verified this by typing su in terminal emulator as well.
What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

Also, are there no custom ROMs for this phone?
How can I make it faster?
Is there support for apps 2 SD?

No custom roms yet.
Apps 2 SD is supported.

Z4Mod says the phone is rooted... superuser installs.
However, I do not have root. Titianium Backup states so, and terminal emulater su does not return a #.
Anything i need to do to make this Z4Mod root my mini pro?

I fixed that by enabling USB debugging in the settingss from the x10. maybe it helps for you too.

Try downloading busybox from titanium backup (click "Problems?")

Sure! I have just rooted using it. Type z4root in the search box here in the forum. Someone put a link to the app. You download it to your computer and then to your phone. Install it and it is ready to root a**!

Busy Box is something that you install on your Droid to give you some additional handy LINUX / UNIX based commands. You need Busy Box installed because some commands are not available to you and you made need them for some root level tasks.
As for downloading it should be available in market!!

X10 mini 2.1 Root SuperOneClick

I`ve just Updated to Android 2.1, and i can comfirm that the SuperOneClick Tools works to get Root
but its still says i Titanium Backup that i dont have root... but i can remove apps
Do i have real Root?
did you installed busybox? On titanium press "problems" button for instructions.
And be sure you enable usb-debugging (correct me if Im wrong) but that made the difference for me when Titanium said it didn;t have root acces.
yep. just realized it. it needs busybox madly
yep, I had no problems with SuperOneClick, did the old busybox update in Titanium (I seem to remember that from when I first got the phone and rooted it) I un-installed some of the bloat ware this morning (mainly Roadsync and the games)
everything still seems to be working happy as larry on 2.1 woot!!

i tested some apps who neede root.. like Tethering ++ these apps was working still without busybox fixed, Only titanium i had that problem with.
I have problems with SuperOneClick on a Win 7 x64 ... the app stops in the middle of the loop, after a couple of minutes... any ideas? USB debugging is activated and also I run the app as administrator.

Same here.
Try this:
If you wait longer and it still doesn't work, try untick/retick USB debug while it's running

I follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824788 and it worked on my Win7 x64.

Yes, I noticed the same.. It would at first not detect my phone, then I put it in debug mode and it "Looped". So I just tried to click on the "mount storage" or what it's called (while in safe mode) and suddenly it trigged.
Not sure if that's why.
It then managed to get to the installing superuser.apk but nothing happend.. So I ticked/unticked the safemode again and then I got a message on the phone asking if I wanted to install it.
I chose yes.. waited some, it said: Running SU test...
Nothing happend, so I once again ticked/unticked, waited some and then it says I have root Now I just have to confirm it, lol..
My root works perfectly.. Running titanium, busybox, setcpu, etc. now
I have tried rooted from my ubuntu but always fail. Trying with superone click, it works Thanks man!
just updated to 2.1 yesterday. within the SuperOneClick zip there's a file called rageagainstthecage. When extracting or trying to drop the file to desktop or any location on my pc, the file dissapears after a few seconds. and YES..I've no virus-scan running at all.
any ideas?
does universal androot work?
no, androot failes: no fu goo
BUT, even if i've no virus scan running, the rageagainstthecage file dissapears when extracting.
The funny thing: changed to an non-admin-account on my win7 and there i could extract and root!!!! Thanks!
On My Device SuperOneClick workes also after a few tries, but to get realy root, i had to install Superuser from market afer rooting with SuperOneClick!!
I must confirm that SuperOneClick works great on my X10 mini .
I was having a 2 little problems :
1. The framework 3.5 on windows xp sp3 was giving me some troubles like errors on access memory ,but i solve it by installing net cf 2.0 and it work flawless.
2. The application tell me that the phone is rooted but could not transfer "superuser.apk" on the phone ant could not install it either.Solved by transfering the apk on my phone and installed with astro.
Hope that was useful.

Get root but still problem with permission when remove default application.
Copy busybox to /system/bin resolved the problem
Superoneclick works with me perfectly; on win7 had to install pdanet drivers and then worked. Only got stuck at superuser upload, but even it was there in the phone and got root with no issues using rootexplorer.
Of course i had to disable antivirus.
Hello guys..can u tell me..where can download superone click for my x10 mini 2.1..

[Q] Rooting/backup issues

Ok just got a replacement Vibrant. I Immediately went to the official release of froyo to test. Installed fine using KIES. Attempted to Root and did so successfully using the SuperOneCLick app wich when finished tested and confirmed root. Went to install Busybox and it gives me the Nand locked error.
1)Is there a way to confirm phone is nand locked?
2)Ive only found a way to unlock nand is for the Bell version or requires a paid app or extra non Tmobile sim card (wich I dont have). Is there a way to unlock nand for Tmobile not involving either sim card or cash?
3)Is it possible to odin a different rom/kernel (namely TW's Newest Nero) if phone is nand locked and have working busy box/root?
open titanium backup and click on 'problems?' to d/load busybox, same issue?
Yes it downloads busybox and then says "failed" after verifying busybox. Says cannot get root permissions. Please verify you have root and Busybox.
download terminal
open it
type "su" (no quotes)
what did it return?
SU comes up with "Permission denied". Should I try using the "update.zip" method with froyo? As i said the other program confirmed root supposedly. Super User Is installed BTW.
Did you follow this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925400
Ok that was the guide i was following. Issue was that whenever I tried to dl the recommended file manager from market , It would show the dl completeing and then close with the application never installing and not showing up in applications. I had already had ES File explorer installed as that was my favorite on my initial vibrant (pre official 2.2) because the ease of transferring files wirelessly and other functions. I uninstalled ES and ran Titanium again and this time was prompted for SU rights. After giving rights to Titanium i again ran the "Problems" button and ths time busybox installed. Restarted Ti and ran "Problems" and updated busybox just fine.
Seems my immediate issue is done. Now on to backup and then ROM's.
You, my friend, deserve a big, sloppy, man kiss.
*BTW The app Super Manager is still not installing for me even after removal of ES and reboot of phone.
Open titanium backup
Select "market"
Wipe data
Wipe it again for good measure.
Still in tb
Menu > market doctor
Fix market links
reboot
Open market
Agree to terms
Issue fixed?
Perfect that did the trick. Never knew about that feature in Ti Backup. Again many thanks. Working on the CWR signature issues now, following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423 . Dont want to do anything until I have a nandroid to fall back on.

[Q] Help: Can't get access to the full Android Market

When I tried to download BusyBox (the MARKET ONLY version) it would not show on my phone...I thought it was removed from the market until I searched via the pc android market site. I tried installing with the PC site but it said my phone was not compatible? I thought that all rooted phones had access to the full market?
My phone is an x10 mini pro U20i rooted with Z4root 1.3.0. Should I unroot, then root with SuperOneClick? Or how else may I get access to the Full Android Market?
Any help would be really appreciated!
