HELLO PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE

what firmware do you have ?, i rooted my x10i 2days ago i was on 2.1 update-1 and i used SuperOneClick1.5.5 just followed that guide... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824788
maybe you turned off your phone.. just connect the usb to the comp close SEUS and Companion and check usb debugging.. dont turn it off.. and open super one click and root.. i am not a dev but if you could better describe your steps someone will help you shure

Did you also remember to allow 3rd party apps?
Sent from my Chefens_X10i using XDA App

depending on your firmware theres a few way to root it
1.6, x10root.apk and universalandroot.apk
Just install em and root
2.1, at first there was z4root but SE patched it out, but i used superoneclick and it looped once and rooted straight away
or you could just flash your phone using Zdzihu method which installs a pre rooted 024 firmware

or use this HowTo

2.0.2.A.0.24 [mini/mini pro] can now be rooted

1: get SuperOneClick from its original thread if you don't already have it. Latest version is 1.5.5, but most versions seem to work fine.
2: Delete the "rageagainstthecage" file (no filename extension).
3: get psneuter.zip from the Xperia X8 Android Development forum thread.
4: Unzip it. Rename "psneuter" to "rageagainstthecage" (no filename extension), and move it to your SuperOneClick folder, to replace the rageagainstthecage file you deleted in step 2.
5: run SuperOneClick. Mine rooted without looping.
6: reboot your phone. Test your shiny new root!
Remember to put your phone in debugging mode, etc. Someone in the X8 thread claims that X10 Mini can be rooted via this method; I don't have a Mini so I don't know for sure. But I've got a Mini Pro and it just worked.
Update:
The file you need in Step 3 is "psneuter", not "psneuter.c". psneuter.c is the source file for psneuter. You can ignore it.
donetus says that if you have problems with Titanium Backup (even after step 6!), uninstall it, reboot, and reinstall Titanium. This appears to have worked for several users.
Amey006 says that s/he had to install drivers from the Sony Ericsson PC Companion for SuperOneClick to move past "waiting for device". I had PC Companion already installed when I did mine, so I don't know whether the process works without PC Companion... if you don't have PC Companion, you can get it here.
Update 03-2011:
The latest version of SuperOneClick now includes psneuter; you no longer need to follow the steps above. Just use SuperOneClick!
Mine doesnt root. I followed all the steps.
Can u please give a detailed procedure.
Thanks.
Hi, I just registered to give my thanks.
Now I test it and confirm if it works, but of course thank you very much
Thanks

Does your phone say that it is connected? Try another USB port?
ADB will say "waiting for device" because SuperOneClick tells it to wait until a device is connected; if it says "waiting for device", ADB isn't seeing your phone at all.

Follow the instructions here, namely this bit:
Turn USB Debugging OFF
Click Root
When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn USB Debugging ON
It'll now run RATC
When it says: Starting ADB Server...
Turn USB Debugging OFF
Turn USB Debugging ON
Turn USB Debugging OFF
All BEFORE it says "Waiting for device..." again

thank you so much
had root -> SE update last week -> no root
Hi all,
I had rooted my x10 mini pro with the z4root tool before. Last week ran a SE update that unrooted my device and also installed back all the crapware.
The z4 root tool doesn't work no more.. it stays on the 'busy rooting' notice forever.
Then I tried the here mentioned method with SuperOneClick with with replaced pseudo file etc..
The program say it has rooted and the superuser app appears in the drawer. However Titanium and Root explorer apps do not have SU accress..
What can I try? I used superoneclick v. 1.5
cheers

[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!
flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
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 =)

Having problems Rooting vibrant on 2.2

Hello all, kinda noob here, im trying to root my vibrant on 2.2 with superoneclick root but i cant find the correct drivers. . When trying to open superoneclick root it directs me to choose a program to open it which i dont know which one . Getting desperate and need help please
Anybody???
Do what I do... revert by using odin back to 2.1 get z4 root and root it..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I cant even open odin is prompting me the same thing
Just curious... did you unzip superoneclick and then extract the files to a folder. If mot do that, and then run the. exe file as an admin.
Nope i didnt do that , but now i did thanks . So now wheb i hit root its says waiting for device and after a while it says not responding
make sure you put your device in usb debugging mode
Done that this is harder than i thought
close superoneclick. unplug your vibrant. plug device back in ( don't mount) make sure usb debug is on. Run the .exe again. I had to do it a couple times to root my wifes phone, but only once for mine.

Even if phone shows up error triangle you should be able to use standart flash mode.
About fastboot dont know, never used it.

No problem, it could be done, but not so simply. I did rooting and xrecovery installation without Flashtool many times since Flashtool werent possible torun on Linux
Root could be done with exploit zergRush; but try SuperOneClick first. It will take some time root it completely manual.
Same with xrecovery, but its much more simple, pasting three or four files to root FS.
Try superoneclick first, if it wont help, will provide more step by step information.
EDIT:
Simpliest solution - almost forgotten
Download the zip provided underthis post.
Extract the zip file.
Connect your phone to computer (remember, that USB debugging must be on!!!)
Run file runme.bat (command line window will appear).
Enjoy !

RELAX first.
You will have to flash the stock SE firmware is by using the X10 Flashtool i .e. get your phone to stock and then root it again.
Here's a video link to the procedure :

do you have USB debugging and unknown sources turned on your phone? Because its really strange why adb cant connect.
What ROM and kernel you are currently running on?
@dello what does ur pc say when u type adb devices?
Sent from my X10S using XDA
hi,
running the official rom and kernal that the SEUS installed running 2.3.3
and yes debugging mode and allow are both on but still says cannot connect to deamon, could it be the boot loader? i put ICS on a xperia play and did that fine, do i need to unlock the bootloader like i did with the play?
i did try to but the se website wont unlock it
and ADB in dos wont pick it up list empty
cheers

[Q] Cannot root my Sola. Please help :((

Hi Guys,
I've been reading how to unlock my ICS Sola but so far I have not been able to do it. I tried to post my question in the development forum but I am new here so I could not post there. I am following this thread by B4nary: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460&page=73
I've already unlocked the bootloader without trouble.
But I can not root the phone
This is what I do. I enable USB debugging, I start the script and then I select Normal. (i tried the special setting without success either)
It tells me to connect my phone via USB, so I do it. It displays that the daemon is not running. Then it displays that the deamon in starting on port 5037.And then it displays that the daemon has started successfully.
And that's it. It never displays anything else. The cursos just keeps blinking no matter how long the shell runs for. Why is that ?
I use Windows 7 , I turn off AVG completely.
If it makes any difference I do not have PC companion installed on my computer.

I have tried both version 9 and version 14 without success.
Well I fixed my problem
It was the lack of PC Companion. After I installed it I was able to root my Sola.
I guess I was the only weirdo who did not want to use PC Companion )
Guys, i will root my sola tomorrow, its with stock ICS. Do i need to do something else before using v9?? Or just use it and thats it?

Hi,
I am not sure if the cell has to have an unlocked bootloader for the rooting tool to work. Mine was unlocked prior to that.
I have not had the chance to do any updates via SUS yet. I can not answer that question either. Sorry. PC Companion says only that I have the latest software updates and that's it. However I was able to use all PC companion apps with my rooted Sola (back up and restore, file manager, etc).

I also try to root my sola. The complete Sunday i try without any success. I have downloaded the tool of Bin4ary in Version 15 and 9 and tried both of them. I am using Windows 8 in 64bit and pc companion is running on my machine. Some People told me to move the files on Desktop but this wasn´t successful, too. I have no idea what to do. When i am running the BAT as Admin and press 1 the tool told me there was no path found. Because i thougth maybe Windows 8 ist the Problem is also tried Windows 7 on another Computer. Of course i activate developer mode on my sola. And i tried both ways in mtp and msc mode.
I realy dont know what i can do to root my phone. Maybe someone has a hint for me...
Root help!
I've tried to root my Xperia Sola, with official ICS, original ROM,nothing changed. I just want to root it, without any other effects. I've tried Binary roots, v9 and v15, but didn't worked any of them. It looks like everything is okay, i have got backup&restore, i see what needed to backed up, i back up, and than the phone reboots. I think everything is okay, there are superuser, and if i want to use for example Lucky patcher, superuser asks me for permission, but after that Lucky Patcher says there are no root access. And any other root-needed program says that. I don't know what"s the problem, should i do anything else to get the root working? THX for help!
