This is how I Rooted 2.1.55 - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems a few people had trouble Rooting after the update,here is what I did
Model Number
X10a
Firmware Version
2.1 Update1
Baseband Version
2.1.55
Kernal version
2.6.29
[email protected]#1
Build Number
2.1.1.A.0.6
I was using Free X10 Beta 4 and was missing my HD Camcorder,so I used the option repair through SEUS and got the latest firmware which is .55.
Then I used the XDA flash Tool

Connect the phone(make sure USB Debugging is Enabled,DO NOT mount Sd Card),then click root.
Congratulation's you should now have root access
You can also install XRecovery using the flash tool,click advanced then select install XRecovery.
Download Busybox from the market,not the one in the flash tool.
If this helped ya,Click Thanks

Upgrade path.....x10i

Morning....
Im currently running 2.2.1 by Trip and i would like to get to x10 free beta 3 - 4
Looking around, it seemes i need to go back to 2.1, then update the baseband , then i can go with x10 b3-4....
Does that sound right?
Nope, u can directly flash the basëband using flash tool by bin4ry
And then flash beta4 using xRecovery
Note: not all ROMs support the new baseband except the latest stock SE & a few custom.
Edit : Use steve.adams.x10 's guide for flashing via flash tool.
Happy flashing
Regards

You can flash beta3 through xrec with your current rom but if you want beta4 you should flash the latest baseband first using flash tool. Search at androxyde and steve adam's thread for guide.

U need to flash the correct basband through flashtool, which is baseband .52. I can give more info and links for flashtool wen i get to a computer tonight.
Do U have the phone rooted and have the latest version busybox and xrecovery right?

[Q] X10 mini pro firmware

I've tried many .ftf 2.1.1.A.0.6 files, and everything installs fine with flashtool, but when i try to root with z4root, i get blocked. I couldn't root any so far.
Can you provide a .ftf file of kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6 and baseband 015 that can root? Thanks anyway, xda!!!
And it's nothing wrong if i have baseband 015 with 2.0.a.504, right?
The requirements of the roms are to the the baseband 015, not the kernel, right?
I have 2.6.29
Anybody?

for root 2.1.1.A.0.6 use superoneclick then if you want to install costum rom you mus have baseband 015 and build version 2.1.1.A.0.6.
Thanks, but I knew that already. The roms work also fine on baseband 006, but you cant use all features, like apps to sd. But that's not the problem.
I tried to root an original 2.1.1.a.0.6 se rom and it couldn't root!!!
I tried universal androot, z4root, superoneclick, but just didn't root.
I found this thing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906742
Can someone confirm that it can root, I tried 6 2.1.1.a.0.6 builds and neither rooted!

You really don't get it, do you?
I managed to root that firmware via FlasherTool. It's just an one click button on the same app you installed the firmware mate. Don't you see it? How came you missed it?! xD

There is one little problem. I DIDN'T MISS IT!!! Wasn't that stupid , but when i try to connect the phone to computer with usb debugging it says driver se01 not succesfully installed! That's why i can't root with super one click!
that's not normal^^
flash your phone with seus again
try to root

try to flash a FW wich is pre-rooted
one of these ways must be work

How install custom kernal

I have x10 with generic 2.1 (rooted).how can I install the custom kernel on it .....
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
You'll need the flashtool which you can get from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Take your time reading & learning the posts.
You'll also need XRECOVERY which you can install from the flashtool. How to instructions are also on the link above.
Then you'll have to decide which custom ROM to install. Here are 2 examples of custom ROMs which gives you the option to install with STOCK or CUSTOM KERNELS.

Yes you can flash that through xrec. When you download the file, unzip it to your PC and you'll see an APPS folder, BASEBAND folder and update zip file. Make sure you use BB52 otherwise that rom will not work. If you look in the basband folder, it actually includes the flashtool so all you have to do is flash the included BB then reboot in xrec to flash update.zip.

The zkernel you'll have to use on a different rom that's compatible with it because the CM7 rom that you asked about above contains it's own customer kernel.

1. You'll have to flash black your stock firmware before SE update would work
2. You got bb54 but that rom/custom kernel is for bb67. I got it to work on bb58 so it might work for you. Give it a try but make sure you make a backup before you begin.

[Q] need to update to 2.1.b.0.1

anyone done with 2.1.b.0.1 update through flashtool?
any problems?
cause i have x10 which is all on stock
Firmare version 2.1-update 1
Baseband version 2.1.54
Kernal version 2.6.29 SEMCUser SEMCHost#1
Build number 2.1.A.0.435
and i want to update it but update service doesnt show any update...
i found one german generic and global generic for the 2.1.b.0.1 update ... for which should i go?
and do i need to root before flashing?
little help here
anyone.....
no need for root, you'll have to root after you install though. 2.1 update1 is the most recent update, so it wont show an update

I flashed that fw no prob, it has minor differences to the fw you have now but newer bb67. Look for the sticky post "flashtool for noobs" this tells all you need to know.
