Hi I bought an x10 mini from an ebay seller and i recieved it already updated to 2.1 , can i root it and how ?
You can always use SuperOneClick to root your mini. Can root the latest FW 2.0.2.A.0.24 with it too. Just search the forum and you will find it.

i've already upgrade my x10 mini FW 2.0.2.A.0.24 last night,i can't use super one click atm bcoz the SOC stuck on 'waiting device',i've try to check/uncheck usb debuging it not work too :-( :-(
Install pc companion, run it, connect the phone then reboot your computer, that works for me. Good lucks

Use SuperOneClick or z4root. Z4root is the easyest.

maybe we could make a thread with donations as an incentive for devs?

It seems as though no one is even working on one.. the mini is 100% capable but we just need more devs working on it
sad fact..

As i see we will never get cyanogenMod or MIUI... Even if our bootloader gets hacked!!! Everyone will work for x10 big and we just get stuck with SE... Please somebody tell me this is lieeeeeeee!!!!
I hope that doesn't be the case..
I'd guess it'd be safe to assume that once the X10 gets cracked, our Minis will follow soon, just as happened with the initial rooting
Actually it got cracked and there already are some custom ROMs for big x10 with froyo or eclair. So i hope ROMs for mini will be here soon.
For some strange reason developers don't want to release the source code for their hack until next year.
Unlike the custom rom project, we have x10 mini owners trying to crack the bootloader problem, so don't lose faith completely.
Now, with xrecovery to x10 mini/pro almost 100% functional (backup and recovery are perfects), is possible YES.
what do you mean xrecovery for mini I thought it was only for x10i !!

How?
Multi touch need other drivers
Load custom drivers need custom bootloader
Custom bootloader need cracked bootloader
No multitouch for you sorry

Haven't tried it, but if it's using ddms then i might wait until it evolves a bit.

just install and boot into xrecovery and then launch the ddms.bat found in the tools folder of the android sdk.
alternatively you can download Droidexplorer and use its screencast function.
NOTE: You can only use a windows pc with pc companion installed to connect to x10mini using adb.

z4root working only for stock 2.1
I Don't have mediascape app either...SE removed it in 2.3.3 version. only music app and generic android gallery
so, this is the deal:
i dont know how to use flashtool.
My PC's system requirments for flashtool are more than enough.
i just dont understand how to use it.
i keep getting stuck at "not detected" or something.
ANYWAY, LEAVE THAT! i dont care about flashtool.
i updated my firmware 1.6 to 2.1
then i rooted my 2.1
then installed busybox
then installed xrecovery
then wiped everything
then installed many firmware 2.1 custom roms
HOWEVER, i find that i can only install 2.1 custom roms. i cant install 2.3 or higher custom roms. My phone keeps restarting automatically if i did that. so the latest CM mode i can use is 6.1.3 ! which is sad.
how can i get 2.3 or higher custom roms to work
on my phone without endless-automatic-restart-loop ???
pls tell me. thankyou.

thanks but i cant use PCcompanion or SEUS because i will end up with 2.3. i dont know how to root 2.3 without flashtool (REMEMBER I TOLD YOU I CANNOT USE FLASHTOOL). but i can root my current 2.1 with z4root app. then i have xrecovery.
is there a (.zip) archive that i can install via xrecovery to get baseband 2.1.71 ?
No, a far as I can remember all basebands are only flashable through xrecovery.
You better get working on learning how to use flashtool...its the only way to do anything with the x10
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
If u install 2.1.71 bb u would have to be on 2.3 anyway not 2.1. Greg right pal u need flashtool in ur life it the only way to flash baseband currently for our phones. Follow flashtool-noobs guide you'll be fine (no need for z4 root its old, flashtool has one-click root)

hey guys, i think i found a way to root my 2.3 and install xrecovery. then i would not have the baseband problem (i had the baseband problem when i rooted 2.1 directly). It is using this software called superoneclick for the computer (i downloaded and opened it and saw a root button). does it work? if it works then it means that I do not have to learn how to use flashtool after all. I could get baseband 2.1.71 and install CM7 mod using xrecovery. No need of flashtool YAY! does the software superoneclick work for x10 if i use SEUS update to 2.3.3? :

I'm not sure whether that would work or not, but the flashtool nowadays has already evolved to an all-in-one tool, and you can do anything with it.
My recommended steps are:
1. Flash to stock 2.3.3 through flashtool/SEUS
2. Boot up phone and turn on USB debugging and unknown sources.
3. Open flashtool, you should be able to access the Advanced menu--->Root--->zergRush exploit to root your 2.3.3
4. Ask root perms then hit install xRecovery
5. Flash custom rom
These are always steps that I would recommend to people who are not too familiar with flashing.
I couldn't get superoneclick to work on gb think it was on eclair I managed to use it. Believe me USE FLASHTOOL.

help ps
hey everyone,
everyone seem to have no trouble with flashtool. but i have because everytime i try to root my x10 2.3.3, i only get a half-rooted phone with superuser, busybox and everything installed but no root access. i used FlashTool 0.2.9.1 and tried to root my x10 2.3.3 using the aZuZu Root Method (reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1196421)
so, now i am using a rooted 2.1 (i rooted with z4root not with flashtool) and installed xrecovery and custom rom 2.1. i want to use custom rom 2.3 but for that i need to root 2.3 but i cant root 2.3 with flashtool.
but when i see a root button available, i also see a button 'ask root perms' button. what is the difference?
thanks in advance.
Ok..I've done everything to unlock bootloader with Flashtool.I am at the part when it says ''Your phone will now be rebooted'' or something like that.When the damn phone reboots, Flashtool can't find it.I will post later what it says.Please, help!

Which version are you using? The newest version doesnt work with x10 mini(pro) so you have to use one of the older ones, it should say on the xda forum page which version to download.
I made that mistake once.
