Hi,
I have a problem with upgrading and wondered if anyone could help, please. I have searched the forum and couldn't find an exact answer to my problem.
In November my wife broke the usb on her X10i and hasn't been able to upgrade to 2.1 because of Sony's lack of OTA updates.
Is it possible to root and flash 2.1 on the X10i using the SDcard only instead of connecting the phone to the PC through usb?
What is the best way to root and the best 2.1 rom to use when flashing a pay monthly O2 X10?
Thanks for any help in advance.
The model is an X10i
Firmware 1.6 (obviously)
baseband 1.0.16
Kernel 1.6.29
Build R1FA016
1. Search & download Z4 root to your sd card (use google, can't miss it)
2. Download BUSYBOX from the market
3. Follow the instructions on this link to install XRECOVERY:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
After these your phone should be ready to be flashed, it's just a matter of what you want to flash it to.
Hope these help.
Thank you, I'll try your suggestions.
A standard 2.1 rom that works on an O2 x10i is fine to flash to, doesn't have to be customised or fancy. Any suggestions on the best and most stable rom to go for?
Cheers.
I think you will be fine with the Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 build. (Thought I had the link to the zip file but I must have deleted it, I used the flashtool exclusively for 2.1 and I used xrecovery when I started to use froyo.) I've only had my x10 for a little over 2 months, flashed it to 2.1 after a few days of getting it then I switched to 2.2 betas since the new year but I was happy with that 2.1 version the short time I had it.
Thank you very much
A couple more annoying newbie question though.
I rooted the phone but couldnt install busybox from the market, does Z4 root install it when it roots the phone?
I can't move the three xrecovery files from my sdcard into the system/bin folder on the phone. Do I need to install Root Explorer from the Market to access and write the 3 files onto the phone system folder?
Thanks.

No problem I have a few things I still need to learn myself so no worries.
First, when you run z4 root does it say that its rooted?
Did you get an error when installing busybox or are you saying you can't find it in the market?
No, z4 doesn't install busybox.
Yes, you'll need to install root explorer before you can push any file to the system/bin folder/ on the phone.
Z4root worked, i chose permanant root, when I try to install busybox I get the message
Your Phone is rooted.
Busybox was not found.
The app failed either because your device is not nand unlocked or we were unable to remount.
I installed Titanium backup to check the phone is rooted and it says it could not require root priviliges either.

Sounds like z4 root didn't work since 2 different apps does not see your phone as being rooted. Uninstall z4 then search and download for Universal Androot 1.6, that's the other root app I've used in the past.
Thanks.
Phone rooted, busybox and root explorer installed.
Xrecovery files moved.
Can't get into the xrecovery menu at startup
My rooted Orange San Francisco is looking like a good buy now. I'll give up on messing with the phone. Thanks for all your help and time, my wife gets a new phone in year and it will probably take me that long to get it working and for SE to release 2.2

hi there, dont give up now, you are getting so close!
you dont really need to use xrecovery menu at all. the idea for you would be the following:
1. root the 1.6 phone - done
2. install titanium backup/my backup pro and backup your data - done (i think)
3. download the 2.1 flashtool from the following thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793 (choose the appropriate ROM - if unsure ask questions! i would recommend the latest X10a_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL)
4. run the flash tool and update phone to 2.1
5. reroot phone with z4root and reinstall backup software
6. recover all backups and you are now done!
i should clarify also.....the reason i have recommended you NOT to use the xRecovery menu is fairly simple. If you are not planning on constantly flashing new ROMs and booting into other ROMS, then its simply not necessary for you.
The benefits of xRec are that you can take a complete backup of your phone, flash it with something else and then recover the backup when you are done. Its a simple way to flash new roms quickly, but as i said, not really necessary for you.
Flashtool is very easy to use, all the instructions are provided on the screen, and it is done in 5 minutes also, there are lots and lots of tutorials posted around the place too.
good luck!

You are on point MRTIM, I can't argue with what you said. But like he mentioned on his first post, his wife broke the USB on the phone that's why he is doing it the long way.
@Scribbling Are you pressing the back button on the phone as soon as you see the white SE screen?
If you are still having trouble there is another way. One thing I failed to mention is the new version of xrecovery 0.3 is an actual APK file. That means you can just download it to your PC, transfer to your SD card, browse to the location on your phone then tap to install it. If you need a browser you can use ASTRO FILE MANAGER from the Market which is free.
PLEASE NOTE AND I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. If you are going to try and reinstall the xrecovery APK package, make sure to uninstall BUSYBOX then pull any xrecovery files that you already pushed to the phone prior to installing the v0.3 APK.
Let us know if you have any other questions. I agree with MRTIM, why stop now? You are almost there.
Thanks.
Broken Usb is the annoying bit
I'll try installing Xrecovery as an apk.
Ugh..... Xrecovery could not be installed to this device. I'll try Xrec 0.2 later, if I can find the will.
Hi, I just bought an Optimus One P500 from Letsbuy and got it delivered yesterday.
I didn do anything freaky and tested the Battery Life of the same.
After first Full charge for 3.5hrs, I started using the phone.
The phone lasted almost 22Hrs ( 6.30 PM -> Next Day 4.30 PM)
All the default apps and settings were maintained, I didn change any.
Usage Scenario
Phone Calls - 50 Mins
SMS - 150 +
Wifi Browsing - 1hr
Music playback - 15mins
Video Playback - 15mins.
As I was checking out various features of the phone, I always used ma phones display except when I slept.
Now before I go tweaking and rooting the phone I need to know few things.
1. I am planning to Root with Gingerbreak as ma phone is 2.2.1 wid V10C firmware. So what are the Risks invloved in Rooting. Does this void warranty?
2. What all are the Apps I could safely Remove from my Phone via Rooting. I dont want that Vaccine Cleaner or any Bloatware in ma phone.
3. My Phone memory got decreased to 155 Mb from 170 MB, I didn install any app. Just synced ma Contact list wid Facebook and Gmail. What may be the reason?
4. What should I do to increase My phones Internal Memory other than using App2SD?
5. Any problems when updating to 2.2.2 after rooting? Any issues with 2.2.2 ? Does it solve any current issues ?
phone is less laggy with 2.2.2
if you root you void your warranty
after routing you can remove any app that came pre loaded with your phone.
to increase internal memory you can move the applications to sd card, some applications may not move to sd card. low phone memory does not hamper the performance of the phone. applications run/load faster if they are on the phone memory
One thing you should know is that the sdcard which comes with phone isn't very good, and it can be automatically unmounted sometimes. This is because it's a class 2 sdcard.
So you may want to buy a class 6 or higher sdcard. The more the class, the best performance you get.
Reply to question 4
You can try clearing cache.
Search for cache cleaner on market.
thanks for the fast reply. are you sure Rooting will void warranty. i hav read that the phone can be brought back to the original sTate and thus it won't void warranty. i would like to know a final word regarding this.
if we remove an app after rooting can the phone brought back to factory state.
Also i have say 6 albums n ma picasa so if i sync it where will these pics get stored? i dnt want ma phn memory to be filld up by pics.
It is possible to flash original software back on your phone using kdz updater which will remove the presence of any customization on the phone(root, custom recovery, custom rom etc.) And make your phone appear unmodified for all practical purposes.
Read the following thread for instructions -
HOWTO] Rooting, Installing -Android SDK, Custom Recovery, Custom ROM's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007244
During ur initial days of use of ur phone, battery life will be shorter. That will change and the battery life will increase in a few days. Happens with all new battery. And if you plan to u use stock instead of custom ROM update ur phone to the latest V10E before u root ur phone. This is a root able version with Ginger break.
Rooting your phone would void your warranty but you cal always unroot using the latest version of Gingerbreak so that wont be problem. I suggest you upgrade to 2.2.2 and then root.

when you root ur phone.. you can always flash a custom rom for more internal space abd better performance.. try mik_os Cm mod
Thanks guys.
So I will post my status as of now.
I rooted using Gingerbreak
Installed Move2SD Enabler and set default location to Memory Card(2GB)
Installed Rockplayer Pro
Installed PowerAmp Pro
Installed Terminal Emulator
Installed Juice Defender Ultimate
Unrooted phone using Gingerbreak
Now My Doubts are :-
1. Am going to Update to 2.2.2 as I am currently in Unrooted State. Any issues with that ?
2. I really wish to remove all that Vaccine, Bollywood, Picsay, LG adviser, LG App Installer etc from my phone for ever. But If I remove them, can they be recovered. Also if I Uninstall using Titanium can I later Upgrade to Gingerbread when Its released by LG.
3. What is Custom recovery. I read the guide and every stuff here, but I still got that confusing. What are the uses of loading custom recovery.
4. Is custom recovery of any good for me ( I dont intend to use custom ROM now) Is it important to do Custom Recovery for Stock Roms ?

1. Don't think there will be an issue updating. But u should have done it after updating as there has been some who's been saying updating after rooting has been a lil tricky. Try this thread for more info : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041528
2.You can remove them. Don't think there will be an issue. but try freeze option to be safe. I removed all of them accept for LG adviser and install. No problems.
3. Custom recovery is similar to the BIOS of the computer. U can use it to wipe all the data from ur phone memory, Install custom ROM, etc.
4. U don't need it if u plan to only use Stock.
Thanks, as per your advice I unrooted and updated my Optimus One to V2.2.2 aka V10E.
And now I rooted again with gingerbreak and removed bloatware with Titanium Backup.
Can you guys suggest a Startup Cleaning software as we have MSConfig in windows ?

Hi, I'm a new user but hey, android is familiar with me lol Okay, for your questions, these are your answers!
1.Rooting basically allows you and apps to access to important system files. One thing good is that it allows you to set CPU Speed and other stuff.(Go Market and search for 'root'!)One thing bad is if you accidentally delete any file (Oppsies!) , then your phone risk getting BRICKED So, make your decision wisely! (p.s. I rooted mine!)
2.You can remove everything you want but remember, your phone can stop functioning if you accidentally maybe uninstall like...market? It's really your choice
3.Usually it is due to some stupid cache, go market download 'Cache Cleaner' or something like that to clean the cache.
4.For this question...Apps2sd is ur best bet but you can try link2sd too . Jkjk, to increase your internal memory, you can:
1)Do Q2 (Uninstall system apps lol)
2)Take apart your phone and install another chip or something like that
3)If above options do not work for you, use Apps2sd or Link2sd!
5.Based on my opinion, no, rooting does not affect update. Issues? I'm not sure but one thing is for sure, your choice!
I REALLY HOPED I hELPED YOU! Gotta continue my Optimus one gamee!!!!

Hmmm....Go market and search for startup auditor or autorun lol
There's cache cleaner that is packaged in void echo rom. You can set time for automatic cleaning of cache say every 3 days etc.
Other system related stuff that comes from that rom include:
Watchdoglite >> monitor running apps that eat too much of your cpu so you can end it
Spareparts >> let's you monitor what apps eat your battery
Setcpu >> with this you can overlock your phone for best performance or you can set it to your desired frequency for battery saving purposes. Depends on what you want
Fast Reboot >> this automatically restarts all your apps/running backgrounds without needing to reboot the phone
Thanks guys you saved the day. I installed Startup manager but it lists only a few stuff. Anyways did some tweaking and happy as a clam.
Thank you guys
Custom recovery not necessity if u don't want to flash custom rom.
You will be able to update from LG if u have just rooted and removed some bloat.
All the bloatware will come back if you upgrade.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
1. Not really. Once you root, you will learn how to unroot
2. You can use System app remover. (market)
3. Could be the cache of Facebook and Gmail.
4. Well the first thing is to remove cache that are built up by storing the web and youtube.
5.No , I rooted from 2.2.2 10E and I claim that was the best decision I made so far.
I recommend you to flash fransiscofranco's Devoid rom , efficient and newbie-friendly. However you need to flash custom recovery first to flash anything. If you need help , pm me.
You can thank me by pressing the thank button below.

I dont wanna move to a Custom ROM now.
@ All
Is it necessary to calibrate battery after upgrading to v10E or 2.2.2, does an update via LG s/w updater alter the battery calibration values and should i calibrate it again ?
Hello, just today I've rooted a branded LG P500 using the z4root method and it woked fine. I installed Rom Manager and from it Clockworkmod Recovery. I made a backup of my sdcard content, booted in recovery, partitioned the sdcard (512MB ext/ 0MB swap) and made a nandroid backup. In this step I made a mistake and wiped everything before backup so what I have is the stock image, but for my problem this sould be beneficial.
Once I had the nandroid backup, I started installing ROMS (Mike_os and others) just to find that in everyone of them I couldn't download applications from the market. It starts with "Starting download" and then it doesn't really start downloading. It stays in this state forever.
The real problem is that I restored the nandroid backup (thus restoring the branded ROM) just to find that everything works except the Market, which has the same problems as before.
What can I do? Being a branded phone, can I install one of the unbranded firmwares that I've found in the forum? I don't want to brick my phone.
do you have DroidWall or any other application that you can choose wich apps should use wifi and 3g, ect?
No, right now (after the nandroid restore) I have the stock one with the usual carrier crapware (which should not interfere with the market as it wasn't before rooting).

Force Stop and Clear cache your market
Force Stop and Clear cache Download manager
Force Stop and Clear cache DRM
try to see if your market works then.
Or else you should try to flash gapps wich you can find somewhere here on the forum.
I tried all of that. I even updated the phone firmware through the LG PC Suite so now I have an updated branded ROM (2.2.1, it was 2.2 before). Now every modification should be wiped, Clockworkmod should have been removed and all of that (also I've lost the root access). I don't know what to do!. I can download through the same wifi connection with my Desire HD, from a friend's P500 but not with my brother P500 phone!

I had the same problem for a while and even took it to the shops for repairs, they told me it was an virus ( and they lied cause it was not). Then later i founded out that something was wrong with my sd card and that caused my phone to do this.
If you download and install any APK, does it then work?
Try to copy everything on your sd to the pc, then scan your sd card for errors and format it. Then copy your files back over again.
Then reset phone and see if it works
I enabled mass storage, formatted the sdcard through windows, then I cleared all market data, mounted the sdcard again and started market. It asked me to accept the terms. Then I tried to start a download and it got to the same point.
Is there any alternative to the official google market? I know about applanet, but it's not very reliable and it has to be updated manually continuously.
OK.....is the android market bar grey in color? (normally is green)
If it is,
1.go to settings > manage applications > all > search for market > clear data
2.reopen Market again, it should give you terms or something, just press accept then you're done !!
How long have you faced this problem? I once got it and I ignored it and it got fixed on its own in a day.

It started as grey, (the old version) but I closed it and when I opened it again it was green (new version) I've cleared the market data many times and it didn't make any difference. When I open the market again I have to accept the terms but it doesn't work anyway.
You might want to use KDZ updater and do it all again ( root, installing custom recovery,etc)
But this time use gingerbreak to root.
Anyway, it's a ISP problem. I flashed MIUI in my Desire HD and I had the same problem (stuck at "starting download"), then I switched to 3G and it started downloading correctly. The strangest thing is that I restored (through Nandroid) my last ROM (Android Revolution HD) and the market was working through WIFI and 3G. I suppose there's some kind of firewall for some ports in the ISP part which is filtering market (and Google Talk) requests.

Ok so Here is a link to Cyanogen Mod 7 which is a custom rom for all New xperia's imo probably the best custom rom out there. This will require you to have an unlocked boot loader on your phone.
Your second option is to root your device and remove the systems apps you dont like with titanium backup available off the android market.

1. Just use flashtool to flash a stock firmware for your handset. FlashTool
2. As for multiboot im not sure sorry.
3. You can use titanium backup and try, although its not garunteed to work.
4. If you are planning to flash cm7 it will be pre-rooted after the flash. all you need is unlocked boot loader.
Just have in mind that if you unlock your bootlocker (wich is essential if you are planing to put CM) you gonna lose your warranty.
About task manager, you can use Advanced task killer, who is avaliable at android market for free. There u can manage what process you want to leave running and wich one you want to be killed.
With rooted phone you can uninstall some of the system programs, just like Facebook

So basically if i use this tool i want lose warranty as far as i dont touch bootlocker????
I downloaded some task managers of the market but when i kill apps they restart automaticaly.
One more question.
If i root it uninstall apps via titanium can i restore the apps by wipeing the phone???
THX
Yes, that is correct. You wont lose your warranty as long as you don't touch bootlocker. And with that tool I linked to you, you can easily root your phone and unroot it when ever you like (tested myself).
Some applications will always return back to process tree, simple as, thats how they work
For example, facebook is always in background to notify you about notifications and those things, even if you didn't set up an facebook account, he will always be in background.
That's stupid, I know, but that doesn't suck your battery or similar.
You can always restore all Google applications with ClockworkMod recovery.

Lets get rid of the stupid things.
First of all there is a data notification whenever you boot the phone.(how to pooooooof its gone)
second there is notification when i turn on gps that might be some internet trafic involved. (if i turn off data plan is there posibily some internet trafic going on) is it gps or only agps?
third i know this phone is storeing all data how do i read it any viewer?
Hi there everyone I have a few questions on Android because I want to do a "super cleaning" on my mobile.
I'm from Argentina and I have an LG Optimus L7 P705g , not sure how it's called elsewhere.
I have rooted my device about a month ago and downloaded Avast + installed Avast AntiTheft, only that when the installation finished I didn't said it was installed so idk what happened there.
I'm sorry for doing this, but I have plenty of questions so I'll put numbers :s
1) How can I be sure if the AntiTheft is installed or not?
2) When installing root apps and regular apps, how can you notice? I mean, can I install a root app and not be aware of it?
3) If i do a Hard reset the root apps stay on the phone? In that case which "Root uninstaller" would you recommend ?
4) Doing hard reset is bad for the device?
5) I rooted my phone with SuperSU by ChainFire, to start my mobile from 0 I have to go to the SuperSU app tap "unroot" and then do the hard reset?
All in all what I want to do is to have my device as new. Without any trace of all this time I've been using it.
YES I LOOKED UP FOR INFORMATION NOT ONLY HERE BUT IN OTHER SITES ALSO, AND NO, I DID NOT FIND AN ANSWER THAT DID SATISFY ME
Thank you very much! I'm sorry for making so many noob questions all together!

1) settings>applications>manage application
2) You'll install root apps on your own risk.So be aware of them.If superuser app prompts for permission when using that app then it is root app else normal app.simply you can deny superuser rights to that app by denying request by su app.in this case that app will act as normal app (and may be it will be force closed or malfunction)
3) Nope.Hard-reset will clear all apps (except those who came with ROM and those which are sit on /system.this apps can be uninstalled using titanium backup (which i prefer) or other same apps)
4) Hard-reset will only clear user data which would not damage your device...
5) Not necessary.it'll stay as it is as it is installed in /system as ROM app...
If you want your device as same as that came from LG,then you'll need to flash stock ROM (afaik kdz file).but be carefull while flashing kdz file.Read all instructions before flashing it...
thank you very much for your patiance !
about (3) I read on the AvastAntiTheft that, as it was a rooted app, It wouldn't be affected if the thief did a Hard reset to the phone, so that is not true?
