[Q] need root help - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

first off i must say thumbs up to everyone here for the help!! i have been on this site since ive started work at 10:30am and im stuck!! so i think now is the time to ask for help some guidence been at it for 6 hours!!
i want to root my x10i and show that the iphone isnt the only best phone when it comes to mods!!
i have a few questions ill keep it simple and short. i for some reason can not root my x10i! i have super on click 1.5.4 and 1.6.5 it will not detect in usb debuggin mode. ive tried the switch it on off on off.. still nothing.
i also have universalroot.apk that do not why it wont work!!
i also tried with flash tool 2.6 and even though i have flashed the phone i cant get it to root comes up ERROR Please connect your device and enable USB debugging.
so im not sure i dont think the drivers are right when in debug mode and i cant figure out how to fix it.
i originally started my quest to downgrade from 2.1 to 1.6 and cant find the 1.6 firmware.
my phone is running 2.1 build number 2.0.A.0.504
for clarification whats the difference between 2.0.2.A.0.24, 2.1.A.0.435 and 2.0.A.0.504 could i just flash my phone with 2.1.A.0.435?
so please any info help will be much appreciated.
thanks

[Q] [HELP] think ive just bricked my play!

ok so ive just tryed to flash the uk generic .184;
flashing failed because stupidy i forgot to enable usb debugging tryed to boot phone to enable sony ericsson screen loads then a screen with an explanation mark and a phone appears and it turns off again
someone please help!!
Try using PC companion or seus to repair it
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
yea im gonna try that now cheers i hope it works!!!
ok so pc compainion repair didnt work said to go to support online?! trying again now but doesnt look good!
my phone is still under warrenty right because i havent unlocked bootloader or anything?
EDIT OKSO I DOWNLOADED THE UDATE SERVICE FROM SONY REINSTALLS AND SEEMS TO BE WORKING AS SHOULD AGAIN THANK ****!
NOW DEBATING TRYING IT AGAIN HAHA
Give it a shot. Just enable the Dev mode.
As long as your bootloader is locked SEUS can reapir the phone all day and night from being bricked.
Follow the guide here, i did with no problems. I didnt have usb debugging on before flashing .184 and it worked fine.
Maybe it didnt properly install the first time. When done it should say something like flash successful turn on phone.
Or maybe your USB cable came out of the phone. I know mine doesn't feel secure when plugged in.
yea not sure what is was but flashed again an now im rooted with 2.3.3
cheers for the help people!
Cool, have fun.

[Q] 2.3.5 root issue phone not recognized and wifi problemas well please help

Hi so I recently followed a page on androidadvices.com to update the firmware to 2.3.5 on att i777 and was successful. if u google it u can check it out, i cant links yet. noob
Then I followed another page to root it on the same website. (-galaxy-s2-i777-gingerbread-235-firmware/[/url]). I then flashed the kernel included in the download file and know it worked because the yellow triangle comes up on boot. phone works. but w/ 2.3.5 the wifi turns off after 5 seconds. any help
main issue - trying to root. next step calls for superoneclick. got stuck at "waiting for device" as if it didnt recognize it. then i downloaded s2 root and tried that and it said 'phone not connected plug it in and try again'. thought it was a driver issue so i downloaded newest drivers and kies is up to date.
help please i want to root it and how would i get it back to normal? can i flash a regular kernel back through odin?
much thanks

Look around. All your answers are easily found.

Its "soft-brick" state.
Didnt you have some problems with usb before?
If not, try to charge up your phone once again.
Then read this topic, It will surely help you:

usb and everything was fine before i started messing around the firmware.
battery was fine and when i was flashing the roms the green light was on and the computer recognised the phone OK so did flash tool. is there anyway of getting the phone into a fastboot mode so i can use the dos fastboot??
thanks
Make the phone root 1st.

Even if phone shows up error triangle you should be able to use standart flash mode.
About fastboot dont know, never used it.
hi,
Thanks both for your help, in the end i downloaded the lastest version of flash tool and its got a option of disable verification and worked spot on.

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 :

And a link to the stock SE firmwares:

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
