Maybe this thread will be your answer :

=[ I tried pressing the root button and it says to connect your device and enable USB debugging.Which I've done.

It worked for me OK, o2 .24 firmware update, but I didn't do a factory reset when I updated via seus, maybe that is a factor?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I had it rooted before, it was slow so I unroot it. Later I saw an update and after the update, I couldnt root it anymore. So I reset it to factory settings and now im stuck. =[

@ukakit:
thats what happened to me too!! i rooted my x10i using z4root... and i updated it via pc companion yesterday.... and now i cant root my phone...
even after reinstalling z4root or redownloading z4root... worst of all... i realised the update did nothing at all!! except for unrooting my phone
have you found a solution?

If you are on build 2.0.A.504 then use this.
If you are on build 2.0.2.A.0.24 then use this.

I'm unable to root my X10, I do not know why! I tried with z4root, universal androot and SuperOneKlick,I even search on youtube and nothing succeeded. I don't know what to do anymore . Perhaps the thing that I have the latest software of Android OS (firmware v. - 2.1, the baseband v. - 2.0.49, build number - 2.0.2.A.0.24). I have read almost all posts on the XDA about root and still impossible. PLEASE HELP !!

Had the same issue yesterday.. solved it with a little logic..
Just follow the steps..
1. You will need x10 flashtool installed on your computer.
2.open it.
3. Turn on Usb debugging mode in your x10 under applications->Development.
4. Turn your phone off and remove battery for 20 sec.
5. Put the battery in and hold back key without turning on your phone.
6. Plug the usb cable without leaving the back key. A green led light must appear.
7. Now press the root button in x10 flashtool. It will say connect your phone and enable usb debugging.
8. Disconnect your usb cable and Turn on your phone
9. Reconnect it ro computer BUT DO NOT MOUNT THE SD CARD.
10. then just press the root button again in flashtool..
11. The phone will now be rooted.
NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE ADB INTERFACE DRIVERS INSATLLED ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR YOUR PHONE

Both the .24 and .435 root with SOC 1.5.5

Hi guys good day!!! I do have a x10i with FIRMWARE 1.6, BASEBAND 1.01.14, BUILDER NO. R1FAO14 which was working perfectly fine. Until I tried to update it using SEUS which was successful (as per the software) then I restarted my phone and saw it was updated to FIRMWARE 2.1 UPDATE1, BASEBAND 2.1.54, BUILDER NO. 2.1.a.o.435. The problem was after 5-10 mins buttons no longer work and only the touch screen works. Please if anybody has a solution please let me know.
I’m thinking of two things, FIRST is reverting it back to 1.6 if possible (I don’t know how...) SECOND is to continue using the current firmware (2.1 update1) but resolving the button issue.
Thanks...

cannot root
Hi,
thanks for all your tries - it didn´t work for me so far:
I have an SE X10, Firmware 2.1-update1, Baseband 2.1.54, Kernel 2.6.29 and Build 2.1.a.0.435
I tried SOC in different Versions - no success - used Flashtool and Z4Root - no success.
My last try of Flashtool is attached - any ideas are welcome. I know - this WILL be my LAST time using SEUS to perform an update - before this, rooting worked fine.
Now it does not work anymore...

I reformatted my computer and after I couldn't get my phone to connect using debugging mode, I had to use a different computer to root it. Do you have access to a different computer? It solved my problem...Hope this helps! I have rooted every version from Sony no problem except the latest one, flashtool didn't work even with the patch, so I used superoneclick.

Cant say anything with the amount of information you provided..
May be try SuperOneClick root this time..
I downloaded the Androot from web and installed. Then I opened and it finished rooting. SO first time i rebooted phone it did loop 3 to 4 times but came on and next day I rebooted again to find out if it goes in to loop mode and it just kept looing for like 12 to 14 times and never turned on fully so i had to flash the phone using SE Companion repair utility.
It is Mini Pro AND has 1.2.A.1.183 with 2.6.29 Kernel and 1.6 firmware

If you are using 1.6, try using exploid method.. May be something went wrong during the root process. Still cant say anything conclusive.
First of all, I suggest you to update your phone to Version 2.1-update1.
Afterwards use SuperOneClick to gain Root Access.

[Q] doing the X10root to root an Xperia x10 and having a problem.

H,
I used the X10root app to try and root my X10.
the problem comes when it says": wifi on followed by wifi off.
I've done the steps...but it seems to be frozen right at this point...there is no further message, no indication that anything is happening.
Can someone help?
the easiest way, it takes me 1 min, no apps or anything required, download flashtool from xda to your computer, connect your usb and click root. click root on top left with flash tool, it will do things, and you phone will restart, when it restarts, you will have root access. thanks me if i helped!

I found superoneclick to be the easiest.... z4root is easy as hell too
First time i was using Z4. Worked like a charm!
Last time i was on .435 firmware. Z4root, X10Root, Flashtool... all didn't work!
I found out that the .435 can only be rooted by suuperoneclick v1.55 or v1.63.
Before you connect (with USB debug mode on), be sure to have the SE drivers installed on your PC. Else superoneclick won't be able to find your xPeria.
Good luck!
on my .435 i used flashtool to root as well =)

[Q] X10 Prob! Helps are very appeciated!

My x10 its on 2.1 ofc
It keep restarting for no reason, i tried to hard reset it but no chance.
Then i tried another Sim card and memory card but still no chance.
Then i tried the repair in sony companion, it said no repair for this version.
It keeps closing/restarting when charging, running apps, texting, downloading.
Thanks for replying and helping!
SEUS always has an option to reinstall the 2.1 FW..are you sure you haven't overlooked it.
or you can try using the flash tool to update one of the FWs availabled in the dev section..
Already tried to reinstall with SEUS but not working and pretty sure i havent overlooked it.
Thanks for helping though
Do you have xrecovery installed? If so you can try flashing a new generic ROM. There are a list of custom and generic roms on "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987795". I hope this helps.
If nothing else attempt installing a basebrand AND a firmware that you know are compatible with one another via the latest flashtool.
I will try what u guys said, i will be back with the result ! ty
Just flash the newest generic 2.1 firmware via flashtool
i think its the .435 - that's baseband 54
im on bb 54 too, but i use wolf's cm 2.2
cheers

There is a repair button on SEUS which will reflash the device... I'm pretty sure it appears when it says that there is phone is updated, or there is no update (sorry, don't remember exactly, last time I used SEUS was a good 3 or 4 months ago...
Anyways, I think your best bet would be flashtool...
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Its pretty hard to flash it or repair it when.. i connected it to my computer it keeps restarting.
Anyone got some suggestion?
you did switch off your phone before connecting it to the comp right? Just make sure you hold the back key while connecting the phone when the flash tool or seus prompts you.
I did switch it off b4 connecting and hold back key but still didn't work out.
The fact is.. it keeps restarting anytime.After the back key, it might open out and end up closing after a few seconds. :S
Oops, you kight have chosen to keep your user data whilst upgrading from 1.6 to 2.1, which resulted to all these issues. I would imagine that it would almost be impossible to boot into flash mode when your phone is always rebooting.
Ok.
1. Take your battery out.
2. Hold the back button. Make SEUS running and ready.
3. Plug it into the computer.
4. Put your bateery back in.
Follow the instructions. Hopefully it would work and good luck
If it worked dont forget to hit thanks.

[Q] X10 Proces system error, cant do anything.

Hello all,
I was using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002836
for a few weeks and all was working fine until today. All just worked fine until some moment that all stoped to work. Now i dont have any service anymore and when i try to reboot it and it starts again i get:
-No widgets load
-"Process system is not responding" Force close or wait.
-Cant boot into xRecovery
-Flashtool wont recognize the phone
-phone keeps making notification sounds for no reason
-i get no service
-cant connect to wifi
-wont recognize SD card
-randomly freezes
I found on this forum that this problem causes because i install a new busybox thats what created this error. But i cant get back in to xrecovery again or back to my SD card since my pc doeosnt connect to my phone. So also SEUS doesnt connect, what can i do to reset it all or atleast to get back into xrecovery?
Yours,
anyone have any solutions? i'm in the same exact boat.
Try reinstalling xrecovery from flashtool. You should be able to even with force closes.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Go to Application -> Dev Tools -> Bad Behavior -> Crash the system server then reboot. Give it a few minutes to settle then if that doesn't work, download xrec v0.3 from below. If xrec installs then wipe cache & clear Dalvik cache. If none of those work you have no choice but to reflash.

I've tried all of them. Flashtool has always worked for me in the past but all I can do on it at the moment is flash the stock firmware it won't let me click the root option.
Z4root would go through everything but then when I donloaded busybox it said I wasn't rooted.
And with super one click it would spend for ever trying to find the device, never find it then the programme would freeze.
Do you have any other ideas?

Z4root & Superclick are my backup procedure in case I'm not infront of a pc and I always use the flashtool to root.
Are you sure usb debugging is enabled? I know I've made that mistake before then realized that it wasn't enabled. Stock 2.1 does not enabled this function by default as far as I know.

BTW what firmware are you using? If you are still on the branded firmware that might be the reason why so flash a generic 2.1 firmware then try rooting again. Here's an example:

If you look at the last few posts Uberlight25 was using branded firmware and had the same problem as yours. After flashing generic 2.1, he/she was able to root again.
Good luck.

[Q] Can't root after SEUS

Hey guys, I have a situation and would REALLY appreciate some help.
I'm experienced at flashing, rooting and SEUS repairs but after doing a SEUS repair the other day I can't get root. I've tried Bin4ry's flash tool and Super Click and all I get is "ERROR - no device found, please enable debugging" and "Waiting for device". I know I have debugging active on my phone but nothings working, am I maybe missing a driver?
If somebody or nobody or anybody could help me out, I'd really appreciate it!

Its so strange, this has never happened in the past. But I'll keep trying the Super Click method then.
Thank you!!
Download SE X10 Mini ADB Driver. Apply debuging in phone. Open Super One Click 1.55 or higher. Click ROOT. Connect phone and, select charging!
My solution was to install PC Companion to get the drivers... duh...
Then downloaded Flasher Tool 0.2.9.1 instead of the 0.2.5 version instead and used it without a problem. So now I'm back to the awesome CM!! This past week of being stuck on SE FW has reminded me of how crap it really is!
Thanx for the help
