i appologize for my lack of english
Im a user of xperia 10 mini on 2.1 android. I need to install some of my apps on the sdCard but people said it only can be done on 2.2 (froyo) or by using app2sd.
The first option was too difficult and high risk (in fact i cant do it, the second was my issue here.
I cant root my x10 mini (2.1), i've been using these: z4root, terminal emulation push some .apk from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739874 threat, universalRoot, and the last i use SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse. I put my interest in this apps, coz most people said they've succeed use this app (on 2.1 (eclair)) but i found it keep loop and loop. I've toggle the usb debuging but its doesnt work.
Please help me, the poor eclair, help me o' masters of android

The thing is that the very last version of the x10 mini firmware cannot be rooted yet, so if you want to root your phone, you have to flash the previous version of eclair with bin4ry's flash tool and then root it using z4root. sorry for my english too

my thanx for the reply, but i have more question
do i need some of "the previous version" eclair rom?
what about my chance of bricking my phone?
can i rollback my installation (flash)?
im sorry for being totally newbie
I have the newest firmware: "2.1-update1" - "2.0.A.0.504" updated via SEUS 2 days ago and have managed to root it (Eventually) using "SuperOneClickv1.5.5".
It took a while and was a bit trial-and-error to find the exact time to disconnect/disable USB debugging but it does work! - Keep trying!!!
I am currently looking into installing App2SD which, apparently, can be easiest done via XRecovery (Once your phone is rooted).
This seems one of the most comprehensive sources that I have found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833722
Hope this helps and please can someone correct me if I am wrong because I have only been using Android for a week (Plenty of experience with other devices though!)

bro,...
it is soo sad that i cant even flash my phone using the tools you mentions. The program that you give me, the roms, they keep searching for my x10 mini, when i realize my not in the flash mode, so i reboot my phone while keep pressing the back button, the little green light coming out, i switch to my PC only to see the message stay the same..
see endless dots and "Searching for Xperia...." message
people say my phone is invisible to the flasher, so how to make her visible?
with the correct usb driver you said, but sire, i currently using the SEUS thing, is there any more correct driver than this SEUS thing?
so,.. couldnt blame bin4ry for his nordic invention, just they people from the Sony Erricson for their hard-to-crack-cage...
please... set my phone free....

Are you sure that your phone is actually in "USB Debugging mode"?
Click Settings --> Applications --> Development and then Put a tick in the "USB Debugging" box.
Once connected to windows, this should add extra drivers for "Sony Ericsson sa0101 ADB Interface Driver"
SuperOneClick is extremely tempermental when connecting but I have now used it on 3 phones.
Exactly what version ROM are you using?
I used standard drivers provided with the newest PC suite downloaded from SE.
I've already switching usb debugging mode all night long, maybe i just dont get the correct timing right?
i dont really know what rom im using, but the version on firmware are 2.1-update1 and the kernel are 2.6.29 build 2.0.2.A.0.24
can you give me the right time to switch mode? i mean what is the right text on the console for the switching?
thnx bro

hey try this , i got this edited by someone here , i forgot who , btw give it a try , i successfully root x10i and the others mini pro , haha , it is actually same as super one click just the rageagainstthecage been customized , try it
Run super one click as admin and it works on the 5th or 6th try for me.

You posted in the wrong forum. This should be posted in Q&A. You probably have the 504 firmware and you are being prompted to update to .24

before i do this. ur 100% positive i can root this. because im reading around it says i cant and theres a pre rooted version i can use instead.
what are the benefits of this firmware anyway.
you can flash a prerooted version, also superoneclick or smthn should do the trick now, atleast what ive heared, so i recommend to flash the prerooted one, i think binary has it somewhere
Hi - When .024 first came out SE had patched the exploit, but now there's a version of superoneclick that will root it - i did. it's on here somewhere.. you'll find it if you search..
ive tried it...didnt work for me...so now i feel like im stuck without a root. great !
ima try a few more times i guess.
any other options?
so after one click failed i tried the root that came with the flash tool i used and it worked so im fine now.
Hey guys, does anyone have the official multi-touch update ? If so how did you get it I keep trying SEUS and OTA but nothing
Any help would be generous thanks

So this means that we can't root Gingerbread with the flashtool or superoneclick?
Sorry for this question, but I will change only when you can root Gingerbread by yourself.

Hello,
my wife has a x10 and would like to install a custom rom on it to get it running smoother. The problem is we're in France and the official updates didn't get past 2.1 . I really have been searching for a while for a solution, but all I can find are tutorials how to instal from gingerbread or how to update to the official gingerbread, but that doesn't work for our operator. So any help?
Thank you in advance,
Tiko.

Thank you for the quick reply. So if I have a rooted 2.1 x10i and I can't get official upgrades above 2.1 , what would be the first step on my way to gingerbread and custom rom.

Well in my tutorial I start from scratch but ok. You would first need flash tools, 2.3.3 rom and patients.
Flashtools would take the 2.3.3 rom and push it to your device and remove your current 2.1. Its very! Easy to do so. When you get 2.3 gingerbread you would hate it right away because its stuck in time slow. Anyway you would then download and place donutHD which is the best stock 2.3 stable rom for x10(my opinion) place it in your SD card. The root your device and install xrecovery(all in my tutorial) and go into the recovery by switching off your phone, the when switching it on again press back a few times until you enter the recovery. Then do a factory reset and the install the rom. When done reset and the your good for good.
Doing these things will loose you all your data on your phone so download GO! backup(not pro) and backup your stuff and when your done redownload it and restore it.
PS.....this was just a rundown, follow carefully my tutorial.

ok, thank you for your patience. Last question, what 2.3.3 rom should I take for the first flash? Promised, after this I won't bother you anymore! It's just that she uses her phone mostly for professional use, so I really shouldn't brick it.

Its ok you could ask. Have you already installed gingerbread using flashtools? And don't worry you won't brick this phone easy at all.
And the donutHD rom in the developer section is a good rom for her because its stable and fast.

Sorry here download gingerbread 2.3 from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?vxa0kzi87idladf
After downloading flashtools and extracting it to your desktop place the file you downloaded in the frameware folder and when you start you would see "flash" using flashtools and then a window would come up showing two files: relock bootloader or something(my PC crashed so I cannot remember the name. But its not important) and a file named Arco and on the same line you would see 2.3.
And remember before turning off you phone to flash gingerbread you should back up your data since it is a business phone. Then go to settings, applications, and tick unknown sources then in development-USB debugging.
Then turn off the phone and after flashtools say plug in the phone through USB do so while holding download the back button on your phone. When done follow my guide.

Hello, and thank you for your interest. I'm in France... And I think there's only one french operator that introduced the 2.3.3 update, and it's not mine.
Anyway, I think I'll go for the first solution, because I allready prepared everything for it, but if you both think the second solution is better, please let me know before the weekend, and I'll try that.

I am no pro in flashtool, i dont know what you have done with your phone and so on, so its maybe better to use the other option .
But I did a little rese§kuld recommend you to look dixperia 7 avenger (a stock based custom rom) for two reasons:
1. it was my first custom rom and its simply great ,
2. there is the stock kernel and an introduction how to flash the rom from 2.1
Even if you dont decide to start with this Rom it is sure interesting for you here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557455
People with Rooted Android 2.3.3 Stock(-based):
1. Go to xRecovery and do some steps:
-Factory Reset
-Wipe Cache Partition
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Wipe Battery Stats
2. Choose Install Custom Zip and select my ROM.
3. After this Reboot Phone.
+ more instructions for people on 2.1
4. (instead of point 3) Take off battery from your phone (don't use Reboot Phone, DON'T TURN OFF YOUR PHONE NATURALLY).
5. Put .ftf file to firmwares folder inside FlashTool direct place on your PC.
6. Flash .ftf file.
7. Turn on your phone naturally
