After all sorts issues I have flashed my Mini Pro back to 1.6. I have tried One Click to root it with no success. I have tried Z4root also with no success. What should I use?
I had so much trouble I gave up and flashed to 2.1. Then using ADB I put z4root on and RootExplorer. It was all a piece of wease. Dont know why I didnt do that right from the start lol.
Now looking for U20a f/w. Most f/w on site is U20i

im not entirely sure where to find the right way to get 2.1 on my phone, it is a rogers branded x10a with buildnumber R2BA020 , i see a lot of root guides but cant i just use "universal root" like for the htc hero?
Thanks in advance
2.1 is not out yet and bootloaded not cracked yet.
Use the search function
You can root if you look over this section OneCLICK root

You posted in the wrong forum. This should be posted in Q&A. You probably have the 504 firmware and you are being prompted to update to .24
Oh wow sorry I wasn't paying much aattention to the forum I was in..... so should I do this.... will have to re root or anything afterwards?

Yes you will have to re-root from here.
Thanks! I appreciate it!

before i do this. ur 100% positive i can root this. because im reading around it says i cant and theres a pre rooted version i can use instead.
what are the benefits of this firmware anyway.
you can flash a prerooted version, also superoneclick or smthn should do the trick now, atleast what ive heared, so i recommend to flash the prerooted one, i think binary has it somewhere
Hi - When .024 first came out SE had patched the exploit, but now there's a version of superoneclick that will root it - i did. it's on here somewhere.. you'll find it if you search..
ive tried it...didnt work for me...so now i feel like im stuck without a root. great !
ima try a few more times i guess.
any other options?
so after one click failed i tried the root that came with the flash tool i used and it worked so im fine now.
Ok I just got an x10 that is running 1.6. I know nothing about android phones I was an iphone user so this is very new to me. Do I need to upgrade first or do I need to root it first. Can someone please provide me with the links to the threads I need to do this in? Like I said I am very new to this and I do not want to brick this phone. Also whats the latest version that i can upgrade to where everything works
congratulations on turning away from the darkside!.. There are a few things you can do and it really depends on how far you want to push it..
You can upgrade it then root it and stick largely to the stock ROM - remove any of the junk that you don't need but SE thinks you need.. and install JIT (Just In Time Compiler) to improve performance..
or you can go the whole hog and root it, and flash a custom rom onto it.. this option appears to be slightly riskier - a few people seem to have got very messed up phones doing this - but most (99%?) seem to be okay..
My preference is to upgrade to 2.1 (make sure you've got the dual touch version) - because your in America I assume that you have and X10a - so you'll need to download flashtool to your pc from here. and install the canadian X10a firmware.
probably most of what you want to do is here.
I would recommend you to use the Upgrade Service which is available in Sony Ericsson's website. It has detailed on-screen instructions and I think it is the easiest way to upgrade your phone to the newest 2.1 firmware with dualtouch.
After that, you might find it useful to root your device using binary's flash tool (one-click).
Download the flashtool from Androxyde's thread on the Development forum. Then flash the latest 2.1 FW with the latest baseband and Dual touch. Then use the Root option in the flash tool. Then download Root Explorer app and install XRecovery. At that point you can flash any ROM u want without a PC. That is the easiest wasy to do it and if u follow the directions its foolproof.
Do it all in that order.
Edit: There is no reason to use the SE Update Service if you are going to use the flashtool to root. Everything should be done from the flashtool. And nobody who has followed the procedures has "messed up" their phone by doing any of this. Just dont do anything if you dont know what it is or cant find references on how it works. Because the X10 Bootloader cannot be accessed there is virtually nothing you can do to permanently "brick" your phone, any issues that arise can generally be repaired by restoring a backup or reflashing the FW.

don't think he'll be able to upgrade using SEUS.. I don't think that America have released the upgrade! worth a try though, unless someone from that part of the world can confirm
Yes att has no upgrade for USA so don't bother with seus except for repairs.

I agree with this. I started this week with an X10a and fully upgraded to 2.1.1 sumting..anyways I did "brick" my phone once but no worries I just reflashed using the remove battery method and flash tool. While I did have everything working my battery died from a full charge overnight. So now I'm using Erick Will's Custom .435+Arc+Timescape. Most stable from what I've read so far.

I got my X10 about a week ago (was free from my Sony Rep) and as soon as I got it, I rooted and flashed 2.1 on it (baseband .54). To root I used android central sideload wonder machine.
To flash 2.1 I used flashtool as stated in an earlier post. Once 2.1 is installed find the ROM you want to run, and use xRecovery to flash it. I personally think CM 6.1.3 is one the better ROMs out there, but find the one that works for you.

I should make it clear that I fully upgraded to latest Rogers fw using pc companion, saw the incredible drain on battery then bricked my phone. :O I was trying to tweak it and I over-tweaked.

Hi. I noticed that someone with 2.3.3 was able to root his phone. Its a Samsung, but 2.3.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14644272&postcount=4343
Did someone tried this with the XperiaPlay?
Someone said it can not root 2.3.3 Arc and Neo, so I think Play will have the same result.
Damn This sucks.
I did I tried ,I downloaded the new version that uses the gingerbreak xploid and since gingerbreak doesnt doit itself this method didnt work either I tried a couple of times and nope I hope they fijd a way soon I need to move all the apps to sd and with all the x play games im getting its getting crazy

Im on 2.1 update1 and want to root so I can use some custom roms and speed up my X10 by deleting stupid apps etc. I have tried z4root X10root and Universal Androot but none of them work and im sure this is because of the update1. Is there anything I can do or are there any updated root apks ? Can't use usb caple to use flashtool etc because port is broken. Please only post if you have answers. Dont post to say things like use warranty etc because obviouslyi have tried all this. Thanks in advance.
Even if you say don't tell you to go and get your port fixed I'm still going to tell you to do that.
1.You have to use a PC to root your 2.1update1 phone.
2. You may wanna upgrade to 2.3 and/or unlock your bootloader, which requires you to connect your phone to a PC via USB.

evern my port is loose but i somehow managed it to get connected for a second or so and superoneclick rooted my phone but phone disconnceted before it could install busybox.But that u cn download from market.So no worries.
That means no other way to root 2.1 update1 other than thru usb
looks like im screwed then
Sorry to bump this thread. Just wanted to know if there were any updates as to whether there is anyway to root without usb when im on 2.1 update1.
