I have updated my X10 mobile recently to 2.0.2.A.0.24 using SEUS.

Can you please help me to root it.

Gaurav

No not back to 1.6, just the first 2.1. When you have done that root it like usual and then flash the modified update that is pre-rooted.
Hope you have backups? When you get your phone right create a backup with xrecovery, it makes things so much easier.

Hey XperiaX10iUser,
I'm sure you know about the new update for X10a. Seeing that you've worked with Z, do you have any insider info on if/when/where there will be a rooted xRecovery method to update and also for your ROM? If you do one for X10a, would you consider using 1234-4836? It has voice search stock. Seeing that we aren't getting Froyo or Gingerbread, and google voice search is 2.2 in Market/app brain.

Did you try letting xRecovery install them for you first? Once xRecovery apk is installed on your phone go into your app drawer and open xRecovery and click install. Will get 3green check marks and done.
Install manually: You need to get Root Explorer from Market and set to R/W to get write permissions to copy jar files from sdcard and to destination folder.

Is there any unsecured kernal support this rom to root ?
Without using CWM ?
If I rooted with SuperOneClick with compatible insecured kernel, Yellow triangle and Reset counter actions possible with Flashing back stock kernel and download mode jig ?

I used XXK14 insecure and rooted with S2 Root. Afterwards I flashed back stock kernel with Odin
Root with CF-Root kernel for KI8 then flash back to the stock kernel. You'll maintain root but lose the CWM Recovery menu. You'll have stock recovery, stock kernel and no yellow triangle.
thank you, I will try and post the result

i have the same version as the one you mentioned in your post
kernel version
2.6.35.7-I9100JPKJ2-CL655700
[email protected] #2
PDA: I9100JPKJ2
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100OJPKJ1
and i searched for insecured kernel but i didnt know which one to use
and then i tried this script (DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859
i replaced zergRush file with the latest versions before running the batch
https://github.com/downloads/revolutionary/zergRush/zergRush.zip
and it rooted the device in less than 3 minutes with no problem at all (running titanium, rom manager or any app that require root)
but i faced one problem when using ROM Manager (ClockWorkMod 4.0.1.5) to do a Backup current ROM (from Rom Manager or by booting into Recovery)
I get the following message:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
don't know if doing soft-root is the problem and i have to do hard-root to make CWM work
any way just wanted to share my experience with you
regards
Thanks man it worked like a charm
btw where is that +1 button? I can't seem to find it
another way to root is using SuperOneClick v2.2 since now it have the zergRush exploit
so it will work also
Just extract SuperOneClick 2.2, run it and click Root
(I test it on same device after unrooting it and it worked perfectly)

Yes you can, but for this you need Root.
In rooted phone, just delete the unwanted applications (caution advised) by using root explorer and deleting the apks in /system/apps

pick the correct cf root kernel from my signature link if u are looking for method to root your phone
in a single flashing you will get Rooting and CWM
for JPKJ2 use this kernel, flash it from PDA section of the ODIN after unzipping to TAR file
read Gides for flashing files from ODIN...
http://download.chainfire.eu/48/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v4.4-CWM4.zip?retrieve_file=1
Jpkj2 can also be rooted using super one click using zergrush.
Counter will not bee added and you will not get yellow triangle

well if u root 2.2 and than upgrade using lg update than u lose root.
u need to install custom recovery and use custom root which wont remove ur root as all custom rom has root privilege already
Or update via KDZ Updater or LGMDP and use Gingerbreak
i've read that accepting a lg update after the phone is rooted can bork the phone
Yes kdz updater is risky but i use it to flash the 20c if you down all the step completely then it work fine and yes your root is gone and you need to root your phone.
I search, but I can't find solution how to root Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 with new version of android:
v4.03
kernel: 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913
Build: IML74K.XWLP7
Baseband: I9100XXLPS
If someone can help me to post here a link for one-click solution what is tested and working 100% I will be thankful.
Any help is welcome.
Thx.

1 Cfroot
2 Root without insecure kernel.
I use Odin, but had a lot of difficulties reseting the yellow triangle after, so I bought the triangle away app. (You don't have to b/c it is free at XDA). Now if you find Oneclick method easier, then go for it.

I have the same xwlp7 and rooted and install cm9.
Google xwlp7 u will easily find insecure kernel for it.
U can watch some movies on YouTube to learn it first and get comfortable. Video from galaxys2root.com is good.
If u want to put custom rom then buying rom manager app is the safest and easiest way.

if you have GB then u can use doomlord root toolkit, then you can find the cf root kernel needed to match your kernel, extract till just a zImage, download InitialCFRootFlasher.zip and installed zImage manually that will give you root and cwm, then install mobile odin and away you go with out increasing binary counter. if you are on ICS then there is a thread somewhere on here for rooting ics other than cf root.
InitialCFRootFlasher.zip you unzip it then put you zImage in the insert zImage here folder then click the rooted option
But with this method read read READ, and dont use wrong CF zImage or you will be flashing firmware via odin tofix it

I didnt say anything about flashing new kernel, i told you a way of minipulating kernel you have without using insecure kernel and without yellow triangle, only talked about mobile odin for your plans after, but if you trying not to void warrenty and keeping binary count as it is you will need mobile odin to flash original kernel if you ever want to remove cwm, once it is in its hard to remove without replacing kernel. I see someone already gave u link for ics rooting. i read between the lines of OP there is normally only one reason people worry about binary count.
Ps also triangle away app is suppose to reset binary count anyway but never bothered with it myself. every thing i told you about can also be undone without increasing binary count to
Hello, I did a search but did not find the specific answer, so her I'm asking :
Is there a way to flash an official firmware, but before this removing the "sboot.bin" from the file ? (and the other ".tw" i believe ?)
OR, is there a tutorial, explaining how to do this ? (avoid the new bootloader, butt flash an official up-to-date rom with SDS corrected)
thanks
Flash with mobile Odin, I've heard it doesn't flash the bootloader
thanks. erf. I must add this : "for people who do not want to root while under waranty" ... I see that mobile odin requires root.
I think that when you flash with mobile Odin you will lose root if EverRoot is not checked, however I'm not that experienced with S3 root methods... Maybe someone else can confirm this.

if you don't know how to unpack/repack a tar file, download the bootloader free versions of the firmware from perka's file stash.
