Let me start by saying that there are other threads on this, I'm aware, but I have yet to find a solution. So I bought a sony ericsson xperia x10a around November, and I'm sick of waiting for a 2.1 update to hit the US, given that it probably never will. I wish to update my phone to android 2.1. Now, I've already rooted it. It is currently unrooted and back to blank slate, but I can root it again easily because I know how now. However, my problem is that to update it, I need to flash it right? So working through flashtools with the firmware .ftf I need/want I come across an interesting roadblock. I need to allow unsecure apps for it to work, apparently. This is a problem because it cannot be done with AT&T brand on the phone. So it looks like I need to debrand it. My question is how? trying to exploit the pccompanion/seus repair function to have it debrand with blob_fs does nto work as the helper redownloads the file and overwrites the changes, so those guides seem out of date. Now, I have read in other threads that you do not need to debrand, just run flashtools, if you dont need to debrand, then how do you allow unsecure apps as flashtools instructs? Do I just ignore that? If I ignore that then wont the apps needed for the firmware not be installed? Please dont don't condescend too much to me, I have read other threads but I cannot find an answer, if its there then I'm just stupid. But I would really like some help or explanations.
EDIT: Firmware is 1.6, Baseband is 1.1.32
I used flashtool tool on my phone when i got it back from the shop and it debranded it. So i can get any app i want. There is another way to debrand but it cost money but flashtool is much easier to use.
U asked some very good questions. I repeat u arent stupid. it took me months of studying these forums before i started the ROM stuff. Let me know if u need help with flashtool.
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 CM Rom from Rendeiro2005
I have tried flashtool, but I am told to allow apps from unknown sources before continuing. Because I have a branded phone at that moment that is not an option available to me. Do I proceed anyways? Wont that just not put any apps on that I need, like android keyboard?
Hi heres a quick tutorial on what to do. This guy does many videos on flashing and such. He does a tutorial on the flashtool and other videos on how to rootand install important apps like xrecovery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9_pFOxPJUY
go to that link. It should help you in updating your phone to 2.1. Also if you have any questions i'd be glad to help you. This tutorial and other videos from this guy have shown me everything i needed though.
hey guys.
first im really sorry for my english, im not coming from an english speaking country.
well heres my problem:
my phone (optimus one) is new and i still have insurance from the company.
i really want to root my phone in order to install overclocking app because as you know this phone is not that quick.
anyways, people told me that first i need to downgrade my device and than root it with some softwares and to be honest i don't know **** about those stuff.
i would really like someonee here, who knows how to do those things, to help me though skipe or msn and take me though those steps without destroing my android.

huge thanks to anyone who can help me root my phone.
at least post some info l
like what is your firmware version?
allright
where do i find it? what is a frimware?
i meant it when i said i dont know **** about those stuff.
i am from israel and i bought the O1 from orange company in hebrew languang.
it is 2.2.1 android
Settings ---> About Phone ---> Software Version
Only v10b is root-able. If you have other version you gotta downgrade to v10b.
lg-p500-v10d
can one of you guys help me do all those steps? otherwise i will probably screw my phone
I believe you can do it with Superoneclick

you cannot root 2.2.1
you can find all the info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881
basically find an original LG firmware for your country that is 2.2 (v10b). Then flash phone using flash tool from emergency mode with firmware.
Once you have the original 2.2 rom on the phone, grab Z4root app and then easy to root phone.
Next step is custom rom like cyanogenmod 7 etc if you want real performance! start reading! (alot)
Has anyone tried SuperOneClick to root the O1? They say that it can root any version of Android. Is that true with O1?
No,only 2.2 is rootable for now
I suggest that you read the thread given below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007244
The instructions are well explained there.

Once you root your phone immediately install the recovery. Don't play with a rooted handset if it is not having recovery. Otherwise you will end up in a boot loop and its really hard to get phone back in working condition(in case something goes wrong).
Be very carefull while installing recovery. Crosscheck twice before you push anything to handset.

can you install CM or amon recovery and and custom rom on P350?
Hello, I am very new to smartphones and I need some help about a few things. I tried to find some answers on the forums first before posting, but the amount of new information is quite staggering and I got confused in no time. If I missed any important information for newbs like me please direct me there. I do have good knowledge of PC and programming in general, but so far nothing at all about smartphones.
I have an unlocked Xperia x10a, not rooted, originally from Rogers in Canada now using Fido. I'm running Windows XP SP3 on my PC. I just found out that a month ago Sony Ericsson released a new android update for it that's 2.3.3, but mine is still 2.1.1 and PC Companion says there are no updates when I checked today. Does anyone know if it's officially available in Canada yet?
1. "Carrier-Free"
While I was reading the Sony Ericsson blog about the 2.3.3 upgrade, I noticed it mentioned that the device must be "carrier-free". Is this where "debranding" comes in? I found a link to a website about it:
An easy guide to debranding your handset
but most of the recent comments on there are saying it no longer works. The author made and update that mentioned another way of doing it entirely using the PC companion's "repair" function. Can anyone confirm if that's still a safe way to do it? If not, what's the most common and safest way to do it, and is it absolutely necessary for getting the upgrade?
2. "Flashing"
Is it harmful to my phone by any chance? I'd rather not touch it if there's a good chance that it will break my phone. My understanding so far is that if I want the update or to root my phone this is required? Is the Flashtool found HERE still safe to use today for updating to 2.3.3?
Sorry for the long post, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. Thanks in advance as I try to cram the beginner stuffs in.
Using flashtool is probably the best way for you to get Android 2.3 on your phone.
All you have to do is download and install flashtool on your computer.
There are a numerous number of guides on here that can help you.
Sent from my x10 Platinum
Simplest way to do is root your phone using flashtool, then ask permission and install Xrecovery.
Then flash your decided custom 2.3.3 ROM via Xrecovery.
All you have to do is read, read all instructions related rooting 2.1 and flashing new rom on X10 android development carefully.
Just ask me if you need some help.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yay the 2.3.3 update was released on PC companion today for my phone, so I guess no need to go through the flashing process now
But I guess I will still try to root the phone after the update finishes, so I can get rid of those annoy carrier-bundled apps that keeps running no matter how many times I try to stop them...
Hi There,
Has any L9 (P768E) users managed to root their phone?
Could any kind soul out there help a fellow L9(P768E) user?
I know there is a root method is for L9 (P760 & P769) but when i try it on my L9 (P768E), it just doesn't work.
I've tried numerous times to root my L9 (P768E) with Bin4ry's method provided, however it always failed.
The root process always ended at "Running" and it does not move on to the next step.
"Please look at your device and click RESTORE!
If all is successful i will tell you, if not this shell will run forever.
Running ..."
I also notice that when i click to "Restore Data", it ended as soon as it started. Which i guess there aren't any files saved? Or its just that fast?
There is also information about downgrading the phone's firmware but that is also not working and seems to apply only to other versions of L9 (P760 / P769)
Here is my L9 (P768E) info:
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1230.00
Kernel version: 3.0.21
Build number: IMM76L
Software version: P768E10C-SEA-XX
Model number: LG-P768E
I really hope any experts in this forum could advise on a method to truly root L9 (P768E) version. Cause while the rest of the other L9 users are blessed with root function, the ability to move apps to SD and offer with other new developments to do more with their phones. I'm stuck with an unrootable version and its such a pity.
search "root lg l9" all forum, you will find many posts. in fact before opening a thread like this, its better to search first.

Hi cmahendra,
I checked and found many post as well and in fact i did try your method of downgrading and rooting of the L9. Although your method says that it can root "ALL L9" but apparently, it is not working for SEA version of L9 (P768E).
That is why i started this thread in hopes that other users of L9 (P768E) can share and help fellow L9 users out. Not to be selfish keeping to your own and while the rest of the other L9 users (P760 / P769) enjoying the benefits of rooting, moving app to SD and custom recovery. How about the rest of the L9 users? Especially those who have the SEA version of L9 (P768E)?
After all this is a community to help fellow android users. Just because you make progress with your L9, doesn't mean you need to shut others out.
Echoing help for p768e
Hi XDA guys,
I just recently got the p768e model for LG L9 from my SEA carrier/supplier.
I've been trying to get it root for about a week now but all scripts just keep coming up with the "mount: permission denied (are you root?)" error.
I've tried flashing an earlier version (p768e10b) rom but it still doesnt work.
Currently trying to flash p768 rom to try rooting again.
Really wish for any developers to look into this particular model and find an exploit for p768e users
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ziggyy,
The current root methods that are available will not be able to root our P768E model.
Even though they may "CLAIM" to root "All L9", apparently it is not. So far i've only read about P760 and P769 being successfully rooted. P765 maybe some but not P768E. I have tested all those method myself.
As Quoted by zanakorus33; "Until now all E roms are unable to be rooted normal, LG encrypted recovery only 100% method is to downgrade but I think earlier, root able version is not available for ur l9. "
Like you, i also hope that the developers in the community could help us with our L9 (P768E) model and hopefully there might be an update to their current root file to support L9 (P768E) models as well. :fingers-crossed:
There are too many L9 threads but mainly for L9 (P760/769) and developers may over looked or ignored our request for help.
Therefore i started this thread for L9 (P768E) users and hopefully we can help one another.

Well no one on XDA give you guarantee but if you have aksed me in that forum, I may have replied you with rom which can be rooted P768E. But it looks you are not interested to talk. What anyone else can do for that? Ok I give you a hint, I dont know which rom version you are trying to root (coz you never informed us), but you need to downgrade to V10A rom and yes it can be rooted.
BTW I started the thread by testing on P765 asian hardware, but according to many users who discussed this with me, they used same method with various L9 variants with various versions of roms (and confirmed too) to root their L9 (P760, P768) too. Few experts could root P769 too but there is very less information because LG have not given them FOTA version on their server. So, Good luck and will be good if you interact with all.

cmahendra,
1.) It is zanakorus33 that replied my enquiry not you. Please don't flatter yourself. I never ask for your help.
If you are talking about this reply from you; "search "root lg l9" all forum, you will find many posts. in fact before opening a thread like this, its better to search first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/site...root%20lg%20l9"
Then its better that you don't reply at all. You are just being rude and offending.
Seriously, if i have not read through almost 200 pages of posts regarding L9 in this forum, do you think there is a need for me to start a thread here?
Not everyone is an experience android user like you, just because you make progress with your L9. That does not mean or guarantee that others are having the same progress as you. For your info, your downgrading method does not guarantee root as tried by myself and other P768E users.
Since there is no guarantee then why are you claiming that your method will work for all L9? Have you read you thread title? Aren't you contradicting with what you are posting here?
Do spare a thought for those new users. After all we just want to make the best most out of our L9. I've notice there are new users asking you for help and all your answer is exactly the same as the one you post to me. You are just being a jerk, you definitely do not deserved my respect as a senior member.
If you really cannot offer any genuine solutions. Please keep your comment to yourself or better still don't comment at all.
2.) You said you don't know which rom i am using? It's strange that everything is written in the first post. Apparently, you didn't even read my post at all.
3.) This forum does not revolves around you only. There will be other options to root L9 so don't think that everyone must follow your method and start to bad mouth about others who can't get root using your method.
If you cannot be bother to help others, don't stop other people from doing it.
Just want to let you know that I already flash all P768f variant (V10A, V10B, V10D) but no luck with root. I'm flashing back my V10D stock rom for now and wating for new method to root my phone.
I also try flashing P768 (from Philippines) and success rooting it. But my 3G data is not work, I can only use Edge. I think it's because my provider and phone hardware frequency support only 850MHz (Thailand). Not sure.
There're some difference in my P768f and P768, may be your P768E is the same.

Hi Artit,
Thanks for the info, i've tried with P768E variant (V10B & V10C) as well and also no luck with root too.
Just P768 model itself already has different types (P768 / P768E /P768F) with different roms. I do agree with you that there may be some difference the P768/P768E/P768F sets. That's why some P768 users may able to root while others don't.
I'm also looking for other options to root this phone. Since there is no guarantee that downgrading the rom will ensure that your phone will be rooted. Why in the 1st place should we downgrade our firmware just to root our phone and end up upgrading it again? Surely rooting for android can't be worst off than jail breaking apple right?
Even rooting methods for Samsung or Sony phones are straight forward, they don't require so much trouble to root. Why made it so difficult for LG phones right?
Perhaps we just need find other options or wait for the developers to update their root programs to support more different types of LG L9 so everyone can root their phones directly.

You are blowing this way out of proportion. If it doesn't work with your model/ROM, then post the issue in a specific manner, and the working dev will probably look into ways to get said issue resolved. Going into a pseudo-English rant won't really solve much of anything :angel:.

Hi AwesomeTurtle,
The main issue is already posted in the 1st post, if you haven't notice. How specific do you need?
Do you own a L9 P768/P768E/P768F set? If so, did you managed to root your L9? why don't you share with us a solution?
Rather then just coming into this thread and start another useless post bashing new members? Is this a common practice among senior members? Or there are just that many jerks in this forum?
Just root my P768f and it's seem everything works.
I try downgrade from P768f (V10D - Thailand) to P768 (V10A - Philippines). Rooting it but my 3G not work. I noticed that my 3G gone after I did factory reset after flash. So today I flash Vietnam (V10A) rom and after phone boot I just root it without factory reset. And everything works fine for now.
There're some init parameters that not match my phone when factory reset. Not sure is there some functions that may not work. I have to test it for a few days.

I was just reading this and got an idea did u tryed to root and get back to your stock version and then try to root again?
I mean that u can try to use ota root helper make root backup but not un root phone, restore your stock rom with working 3g, using emergency mode in kdz (Wich is not deleting your setting and data) and then try to restore root?
Or even downgrade rom with working 3g for u and check option to restore root while ota, if there is ota upgrade available. I would give a try if I were on ur place
Example flash Philippines version, root it, secure root, re flash in kdz using emergency mode to working 3g version 10A, check ota root helper status is there a secured root, try to update while ota, maybe root will be restored while it is not rom or version of rom dependant.
I know I have strange ideas but maybe some of it will work.

I just reverse back to unroot stock rom for P768f. After try to flash almost other variants but found that no one make my 3G (WCDMA/UMTS 850) work. So I'll wait for proper way to root my phone or UMTS2100 from my provider (which may come mid 2013).

"Please look at your device and click RESTORE!
If all is successful i will tell you, if not this shell will run forever.
Running ..."
I also notice that when i click to "Restore Data", it ended as soon as it started. Which i guess there aren't any files saved? Or its just that fast?
There is also information about downgrading the phone's firmware but that is also not working and seems to apply only to other versions of L9 (P760 / P769)
Here is my L9 (P768E) info:
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1230.00
Kernel version: 3.0.21
Build number: IMM76L
Software version: P768E10C-SEA-XX
Model number: LG-P768E
I really hope any experts in this forum could advise on a method to truly root L9 (P768E) version. Cause while the rest of the other L9 users are blessed with root function, the ability to move apps to SD and offer with other new developments to do more with their phones. I'm stuck with an unrootable version and its such a pity.

First off welcome to XDA ! To root your device I would recommend checking out this thread and downloading the root tool from the link in that thread. Make sure to follow the onscreen instructions of the bat file included in the root tool very carefully that you will use to root your phone. If you have any questions about anything involving the rooting process, or have any questions at all about Android customization of Android in general feel free to ask (You can PM me as well if you want).

The root procedure should still work with 4.2.2 but to be on the safe side I would recommend instead checking out this thread that will show you how to root your LG G2 (D802) with the shipping ROM (Android 4.2.2). Make sure to watch the video in that thread (At least) twice over that way you feel comfortable with the root procedure, and what is involved. As far as does it effect the bootrom which I take it you are referring to your devices stock ROM that is on the device. Rooting does not effect the stock ROM on your device it just gives you root file system access and superuser privileges (Root user, which is like administrator privileges on Windows), in the process of rooting your device the Superuser app and su binary will be installed this is what allows you to run root apps and other root tasks. If you still have questions let me know.

Glad you got it rooted! The next step if you want to customize it further is to install a custom recovery image such as TWRP following the instructions in the thread. A custom recovery image will allow you to backup your stock ROM, flash custom ROMs, custom kernels and other MODs. For custom ROM's Cyanogenmod 11 for your device is a great custom ROM to start with lots of great customization options and performance tweaks. I would start with these and then I would check out the G2 D802 Android Development Section, if you want to customize further. Always happy to help people out, let me know how it goes :good:.
