Hello guys, well today I updated my phone from android 1.6 to 2.1 via the SEUS. I tried to root my device but failed in vain. I tried out the z4 root 1.30 but that didn't work either. I am a bit agreeably using the flash method. Is there any workable alternative to get my cell rooted?i would prefer a single click approach.
Thanks
In a nut shell, no. You need to flash back to 504 firmware and start from there, as said on AF.
Flash and debrand with THIS, install THIS, then THIS, and you'll have an up to date, debranded and rooted X10.

To be frank I really have no idea about flash. I have heard that it is very risky. If something goes wrong then the device ends up getting bricked.

So long as you read the first post and browse the first few pages you'll be alright. X10 is pretty much unbrickable right now so get reading and give it a go.
Well okay, I will give it a shot. Will tell you about the progress. Thanks for the help:-D. Btw are you also there in phandroid?

Once you've done it once you'll see there was no need to be worried about doing it, but like I say, read the first post, browse the first few pages, and you should be alright.

my x10 flasher is getting downloaded. Before i start the process, i wanted to ask you whether by flashing will my xperia get rooted? because for custom xperia recovery to work they mention that they NEED a ROOTED device. also they need an app called the busy box.
what should i do?
Is there any video tut regarding the procedure? I downloaded all the things necessary for the procedure.

Well I have the x10i but in the tut its x10a. It won't make a difference right?

One more thing, in the video he just showed how to upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1 I guess thats the official update which he installed. I have mine already upgraded to the OFFICIAL 2.1 so is it necessary to follow the first step of reflash?

It was posted as a guide, so you'll need to use a bit of initiative.
You mean I should still reinstall 2.1 via the procedure demonstrated?

I mean use the video as a guide so you understand the flashtool. Could have it done multiple times over by now, and to be blunt, the only obstacle now is you.

I understand wanting to be cautious, but you've had enough information to help you and the next step should be attempting it, then reporting issues or success.

If you flashed your phone with the root guide then reflashed with SEUS, yes, which should be obvious.

You could have found out in two minutes had you read some of the threads in the development section.
seriously a troll post... ppl never stop right?
if not hmm... didnt u actually see the 2.1 posts right when u opened this section?
\_O-O_/
heres the right answer of your question (can the x10 run froyo):
YES but not now, u have to WAIT til the BOOTLIADER IS CRACKED!
Sent from my rooted 030 x10i using XDA App
Yes, you can
all you need to do is plug the phone into the computer facing NORTH,
then covering the light sensor, rotate 45 degrees to the WEST,
finally, hold down menu and and shout "I must read before asking silly questions"
Maybe he just wonder if the hardware specific for X10 can run Froyo?

Well, It's 2.1 currently. Also look at my "R4A024", I searched that but theres others which appears.
Mind linking me to the thread to do the rooting? Has to be compatible with R4A024.

I'm trying to help you help yourself. A thread full of posters reporting no issues should be enough to show you it's a decent and safe app. The worst that will happen is you'll have to reflash, so make sure you're backup just in case, but how many users in that thread have claimed they've had to.

You're the type of person who shouldn't be rooting their phone in the first place... You didn't search very hard at all...
And no, rooting does not give you "free" apps. It suddenly doesn't make the Market free, or unlock your phone. Rooting gives applications access to the operating system. e.g. tether, Titanium Backup, etc.
Use Titanium Backup to save all your apps & data.
Ah thanks, the main stuff is more controll after rooting + themes.

Haven't you been reading this thread or any of the others? If you upgraded via SE, non rootable, all you have to do is downgrade back to your previous version and then use the xRecovery + pre rooted 2.0.2.A.0.24 by Z method posted all over the Xperia X10 general and q&a forums. With these you also can enable JIT. Other guys didn't spell it out, they just provided links. I'll spell it out but I don't have links for you. Between both you have everything you need right here in this thread.

just bought class 6 micro SDHC card, for app2sd...
but i got my phone updated to latest useless firmware, and i can't root my phone
i hope someone found ways to root x10 with one-click-method, because i really don't understand how to use flasher / xrecovery
(EDIT)
Can someone help me, how to downgrade this un-root-able firmware to the previous one?
After downgrade, what i need to do is follow the 3 link above posted by xperiax10iuser, right?

HI XperiaX10iUser,
Thank you for saving my life
I tired the first method but kept getting NullPoint error, then i tried the nonGUI flasher and it worked like a charm. now i am reinstating the system image created by Xrecovery.
AgentJBM : i understand your frustration, however there was no direct link and the methods mentioned were not as clear for a Noob like me.

I wasn't frustrated. I'm just trying to help other noobs realize that you're not going to find one thread with A-Z. They give you A, H, P, and Z. You have to use search and links to do the ones in between. I'm a noob myself, just a step of two ahead of you, who understands both sides. They aren't being short or impatient. They just expect you to be able to navigate xda if you're going to be messing with your phone.

No, with flashtool you won`t need PCC or SEUS for anything (assuming you have already used at least once. usb drivers).
If that wasn`t a possible solution I have not mentioned

I really not sure but...you have a problem, right? So don`t miss to much
guys i bow in humble awe, flasher worked like a charm back to 2.1-1 dualtouch, cause i made that ftf before and saved it. i for some reason thought i needed to use seus or pc companion to go into flash every time. however seriously can someone else test the AT&T 1.6 rom on olafs original operator post. after flash it messed my fone up. caused the time and media scapes to fc and several other problems. im 95% sure it wasnt my error. ive been flashing no problems for a few weeks, rooted xRecovery and jit enabled. i love the idea of the post he has and its intentions are noble.
