No not back to 1.6, just the first 2.1. When you have done that root it like usual and then flash the modified update that is pre-rooted.
Hope you have backups? When you get your phone right create a backup with xrecovery, it makes things so much easier.

Hey XperiaX10iUser,
I'm sure you know about the new update for X10a. Seeing that you've worked with Z, do you have any insider info on if/when/where there will be a rooted xRecovery method to update and also for your ROM? If you do one for X10a, would you consider using 1234-4836? It has voice search stock. Seeing that we aren't getting Froyo or Gingerbread, and google voice search is 2.2 in Market/app brain.

Try following the manual installation instructions. It worked for me.
- copy these 3 files into /system/bin using root explorer
may i know what is root explorer ??
i copy it SD card there.. right?? no need put inside to any folder, right ??
Hi All,
Finally I was able to downgrade it to 504...installed the Z4root and super user..
Now I am having problem in installing the jar files into my handset..
can someone share me the procedure to install the jar files...
thanks

Did you try letting xRecovery install them for you first? Once xRecovery apk is installed on your phone go into your app drawer and open xRecovery and click install. Will get 3green check marks and done.
Install manually: You need to get Root Explorer from Market and set to R/W to get write permissions to copy jar files from sdcard and to destination folder.

[Q] Can SE 2.3.3 be rooted??

I'm sorry if this has been covered, I've been off the scene for a while so flame me by all means! I have read through the forum but cannot find anything directly relating to this.
I used Doomlords files to upgrade to 2.3.3, installed the image with xRecovery and then flashed the files with Flashtool. Been using for the last couple of days but today I flashed the phone with SEUS and have lost root. Numpty!
Can I root SE 2.3.3 or do I need to downgrade to back to generic 2.1 and reinstall Doomlords files to have root again??
All I want is stock SE 2.3.3 but with root!
I hope the root wil be here soon the last time they rooted it in a day...

yes you will have to go back to 2.1 and install the prerooted for now.

Thanks for the quick reply, downloading generic 2.1 now!
np^^ I just flashed Wolfbreaks GB now, since it has everything included, should be working well, I don't think it makes any difference if it's prerooted or "post"-rooted.

how to return to android 2.1

Hi there, how can i return to android 2.1 on my x10 mini? i'm using gingerdx v17 and nAa kernel v4, i tried SEUS and there is no install anyway button , can someone help me?
In SEUS try to update your phone and then SEUS propose you an update wich is in fact the last official version so 2.1...

Are you sure about this? Because I'm using a custom rom and kernel, is it safe?
Sent from my X10mini using XDA App
I doubt that either SEUS or PC Companion will detect the phone on a custom kernal, and I would also say the chance is high of bricking your phone if it did try and update.
Safest way would be reload back to stock kernal and perform a repair in PC Companion update which will load back stock rom. Not sure if you need to relock your bootloader for this to work..
REMEMBER DO NOT RE-LOCK BOOTLOADER ON CUSTOM KERNAL AS THIS WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!

Use SEMC Update, or flashtool. Just search.

Try follow this tut [TUT] un-brick for n00bs.
It takes you step by step (screen shots) all the way from where ever you are to stock ROM.
SEUE is the best way to flash 2.1 original firmware ...

well if u root 2.2 and than upgrade using lg update than u lose root.
u need to install custom recovery and use custom root which wont remove ur root as all custom rom has root privilege already
Or update via KDZ Updater or LGMDP and use Gingerbreak
i've read that accepting a lg update after the phone is rooted can bork the phone
Yes kdz updater is risky but i use it to flash the 20c if you down all the step completely then it work fine and yes your root is gone and you need to root your phone.

there in no root exploit for 4.4.4 yet, you have to downgrade to 4.4.2, root it, install recovery and then flash one of the various 4.4.4 prerooted firmwares available on the forum by recovery.
there are some tutorials available for this process, search and you'll find them.
Thanks for your reply

Use D6503_17.1.2.A.0.314_Customized CE5 https://mega.co.nz/#F!bwpWVADT!NPkA4EHXT9o2Ar8gjV7nYA to downgrade and root only
Then update to .167 OTA but enable Survival mode in SuperSu.
Root will stay. Then just install latest [NUT] dualrecovery.
