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

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

Im Running FreeX10 beta4 and wanted to be able to switch between the latest 2.1 anf 2.2.1(freeX10)
So this is what i did
0. created a backup in xrecovery of my FreeX10 op
1. flashed 2.1.1.A.0.6 Rogers X10a and rooted it with Flashtools 0.3
2. Used Flashtools to install busybox and xrecovery via the customize button(placed apps in the flashtools apps folder) turned on the phone
3. ran busybox and pressed install(updates new busybox needed for xrevovery)
4. ran xrecovery from phone ,it installs perfectly
5. Had to manually enter my APNs since the Rogers rom didnt have any preconfigured for Optus3g
6. rebooted phone in xrecovery mode and created backup!
Now i can switch between 2.1 and freeX10 2.2 anytime

Thats what I did to,Now I switch from SE 2.1/CM 6.1.3. Cant go wrong with it only taking 5minutes to switch between Roms

I just installed the Jit v2 complier using xRecovery on my 2.1.1.A.0.6 x10a... works great.

---

WHt is the difference between .55 to .54?? is there a need to upgrade mine to .55? sorry i am kinda new to this thing thnks for the post!

---

It enables multi touch to work with all applications,also suppose to make the phone faster. I think there was tweaks made to mediascape and timescape,so they run smoother.

---

thank you, i have been trying to root for a week. that did it.

---

do you know the differences between all the basebands? i have tried 54 and 58... i noticed that the signal strength is better with 58. i'm not really sure if that's what it is for.
