Hey guys just got the x10 a FW- 2.1-update1 baseband 2.1.55
can this be rooted?
if so what is the best way to do so which tutorial would be easiest for a noob? ( while doing research about rooting found three different tutorials on rooting which confused me even more one was one click, the one here and one from xperiax10.net)
i just want to take off some unwanted apps like moxier stuff and time scape
by doing this will it preform better?
or would i need JIT?
sorry for so many questions just want to be sure
Find superoneclick on devs thread. Removing unwanted apps you need titanium back up, found at the market.
Im sorry i cant give you the link cause im on mobile.

You can root via flashtool/superoneclick. Download the flashtool from xda link and once you run the program click root. It should install superuser, thus allowing you to download titanium backup from the market which allows you to take off unwanted apps.
that's all i need?
someone said something about android drivers and to back up data?
Heres superoneclick if you havent found it already...

Download an app in the market called Titanium Backup....there is a PRO version which is the best..but the free one will do for now..you can use that to uninstall/delete certain apps that you dont want (ie bloat)....
yuo may also find this sticky thread useful

Find the "Delete the Bloat" section...and be careful of what you delete/uninstall..

@Anami how did you flash the 2.2 on o1. I tried it once with KDz update and got stuck one the lg logo and had to take it to LG service center !!
Could you elaborate a little.
@gokul I dowloaded the kdz updater and followhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881ed the instructions given .
Be patient and be sure to download the right rom and also disable lg modem and have usb debugging on. Also be sure to use a win xp pc. Hope i helped.
I want a step by step as well!
Hi there! I just purchased an indian LG Optimus one and i want to root it, any recommendations about the flashing? did you experienced any loss of data or something? should I do a backup? Everything went well since the first time?
Thanks in advance, cheers!
Try this frm Indian Website

(I cannot post links due to forum rules, so i'll give the description)
There is a blog in blogspot called lgoptimusonep500
There's quite useful info there.
@kid robot
Well i had no problem in flashing. Just follow the thread the word and there should be no problem. And my data was not lost after flashing.

Finally!
Yay!
After some issues, i managed to flash it working like a charm!
Titanium Backup will do the job quite nicely
Use of free space in ROM?
It is possible to remove preinstalled apps. But does it only free some space in ROM-memory? How is it possible to use that for new apps which are installed in RAM?
@anami can you give the link to the right rom for kdz. I think I should try the one u used ..
Titanium Backup is an easy way to remove pre installed applications.
I downloaded the flashtool and the folder for 2.1,which is on my pc desktop. How do I combine the two folders? Haven't extracted flashtool yet.
And how do I keep all the apps I have,even the pre- installed apps,then go back and delete the ones I don't want?
Have Titanium backup download in the mobile. Also purchased SD micro sd 8GB card. Can I back apps onto sd card?
All help and advice is appreciated,I am a novice at this,so I DO NOT want to brick my mobile, paid too much for it! !
Thank-you.

Although you want to keep your preinstalled apps, if you flash to the generic 2.1 you are basically debranding your phone and all the preinstalled apps will be removed. You could try "my backup root" but im not too sure if it will work. Plus it's nearly impossible to brick your phone..just make sure you follow the guide.
Flashing Xperia
Wow;
This is so cool!! Thank you ever so much for the link and the advice. Another question;do you think I can redownload some of the at&t apps?
There's only a select few you can probably get back from the market for free. But most of the AT&Ts apps can easily be replaceable with other free and probably better apps from the market.

I agree,but I like there navigation, and have a subscription. But thank-you for the info.

Now,I gave a trial run,And think the flash MIGHT be successful. Now,I have Titanium,will this backup my current apps,or do I have to re-download them? And what about my browser bookmarks? Am I able to keep the oned I have now? Oh And I have a brand-new SanDisk 8GB micro sd card, should I put that into the mobile?
Any and all suggestions are helpful, and thank-you once again for the advice and help!!

Did all the downloads,are followed the instructions to the tee about combining the generic firmware into the firmware file,or something of that nature. A little nervous about flashing,but I'm going to do it. After flashing,should I use SEPC Companion to update OS to update OS?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
If i understand u, if u flash with flashtool, u want to flash over with pc comanion? If thats the case, u dont need to because u already picked the firmware with the baseband u wanted. So once u used flashtool u r done.
I saw u got titanium backup. U know your phone must be rooted right to use it? U can use flashtool to root too after u flashed the 2.1 update

It looks like you're on the right path, but here's a step by step guide that will answer all your questions especially for AT&T X10a.

You can't use Titanium Backup until after you have rooted. Instead use Mybackup, free in the Market.
Yes,I believe so. And yes,I know I can root AND have SUPERONECLICK up and running. Boy,I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!! Guess I am becoming tech savvy after all.
If you can,give me reasons WHY I should root. Once you reply,will give it a go.
And really, thank-you so much for your help and guidance, couldn't have done it without it

Wow!! Goosebumps!! Thanks for the link,a fantastic thread. Will take both of your advice:download mybackup,put it fresh,brand-new 8GB micro sd,and backup apps. If you think it is also advisable to root,will do that also. For the ROM,what do YOU advise? That is what you change when rooting,correct?
Your info has been DO VERY VALUABLE, THANK-YOU EVER SO MUCH!!

Rooting allows you to remove preinstalled SE system apps that you don't use, like Timescape and Face Recognition, which will greatly increase performance. It also allows you to enable JIT (optimize), and install xRecovery. See the guide I linked above for safe system apps to remove.
I cannot believe it!! I did the root,when I sort of whacked my phone up,SE PC Companion came to the rescue.
It is like having a new mobile!! The changes are major,same withthe apps,but I certainly live with the changed.
Now,how do I get rid of Mocked,by rooting? I don't need it,so I wouldlike to delete it.
Thank you for your guidance,advice and help. Wouldn't have done it without it!!

Hi,
I'm reading within this forum for a while now since I'm getting a SGS2 soon. All possibilities for rooting the device seem to require flashing a modified kernel and installing all the well-known root apps (superuser, busybox etc.).
My question is: Is there an app that is able to root the device by simply hit a button or something similar? I do not want to flash my new device, but wanted to test some root-requiring apps (Chainfire 3D, Titanium Backup). One candidade seems to be an app called z4root (available here at the devs), does anybody have experiences with that app?
Thanks and Cheers

No, you still need an insecure kernel...

You sure you are not looking at |SGS1 dev by mistake for z4root .

Hello guys,
Can someone tell me the benefits of rooting the phone ??
I know how it is done but cant find a reason for it.
So, stating some reasons would help making up my mind.
Thanks
It allows you to:
1. Gain superuser rights
2.Remove all the bloatware e.g. Xperia hotshots
3. To install cwm through which various mods and roms ( supporting locked bootloader) can be flashed
And many things more:

Link2sd is a big one for me as the memory on a mini is pretty low and you dont have to worry any more with this installed also as above you can get rid of all the bloat.
I also had an overheating problem and a fix was on here very quickly but needed root for it to work (no problems since )
Also if you generally like to play with stuff and try things new root is needed to really get to grips with the help on here.
I got ics from here before it was available for my area also.
Finally its FUN just follow the instructions to the letter and if your not sure dont do it.
with root u can install root xplore n titanium backup lol
the most importan app for android user
root is the same as administrator for windows
bootloader unlocked means u own the device :good:
Rooting ur phone wll give u tp use many apps. Dont hesitate to root

With rooting, you will get access to many useful tools for android otherwise can't be used.
For starter, people above me have mentioned before have mentioned some useful apps that can be used in root-only hh.
Titanium Backup is an indispensable apps for your phone to ensure your apps and crucial data inside it won't gone. It can be used to remove useless bloatware, as well
Personally, i use ProxyDroid to bypass the proxy on my campus. Note that unrooted phone has no way to set global proxy.
Of course, rooting will give you access to abundant Custom Rom in the development forum. What is the benefit, you ask?
First, you don't need to stuck to Sony-made UI if you don't like it. I believe someone will say to just install third party apps to make up for it, but you can't just replace the entire UI with it.
Second, you can control the performance of your phone. It is the so called undervolt and overclock stufs. Playing with this, you can determine how the phone play, the way you like it, whether you make it gaming powerhouse (in the cost of battery and overall hardware) or just make it use lesser battery.
Hope that help

Its a choice. But it's such a weird question i think. Maybe its not the benefit. But by rooting your phone, you can customize your original OS. there are many Phone's OSs (ROMs) developed by our friends. Its customized, there are things thats not include in the ori OS. Or maybe you want an app that's not coming for your phone's version, but available in other phone, you can get that by install it yourself.
BUT becarefull when you decide to try to root your phone. And you must be patient, dont give quickly when you failed
This Was Posted Before ,Use Search Button
Link2sd, market enabler, ads block, v6 supercharger and setcpu.
That is my top 5 of reason to root

Practical reasons for me to root.
1) Removing bloatware.
2) Adblock.
3) Easier to use screenshot app.

1.Full Control over the Hardware
