Did you download seus? And are you with at&t?

Just use Flashtool. Step by step instructions are everywhere and very easy to follow. Just read the flashtool thread by Androxyde in the development section everything you need to know is there along witb everything you need to download.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!

Are we talking a custom ROM here or just plain SE update mate?
What is it thats getting you confused?

Not going to be rude but what do you mean you've been "stuck on this for hours"?
A little, I mean a little little research would tell you that Sony is just about to release the 2.1 update.

If you flashed your phone with the root guide then reflashed with SEUS, yes, which should be obvious.

You could have found out in two minutes had you read some of the threads in the development section.
seriously a troll post... ppl never stop right?
if not hmm... didnt u actually see the 2.1 posts right when u opened this section?
\_O-O_/
heres the right answer of your question (can the x10 run froyo):
YES but not now, u have to WAIT til the BOOTLIADER IS CRACKED!
Sent from my rooted 030 x10i using XDA App
Yes, you can
all you need to do is plug the phone into the computer facing NORTH,
then covering the light sensor, rotate 45 degrees to the WEST,
finally, hold down menu and and shout "I must read before asking silly questions"
Maybe he just wonder if the hardware specific for X10 can run Froyo?

As some have written here is only looking for, then read. I also had the problem with the root, but the zdzihu has dissolved. You might want to flash again. With the link of batman_112 follow step by step and everything will be OK.

Haven't you been reading this thread or any of the others? If you upgraded via SE, non rootable, all you have to do is downgrade back to your previous version and then use the xRecovery + pre rooted 2.0.2.A.0.24 by Z method posted all over the Xperia X10 general and q&a forums. With these you also can enable JIT. Other guys didn't spell it out, they just provided links. I'll spell it out but I don't have links for you. Between both you have everything you need right here in this thread.

I do...
Flash with THIS, install THIS, then THIS, done.
just bought class 6 micro SDHC card, for app2sd...
but i got my phone updated to latest useless firmware, and i can't root my phone
i hope someone found ways to root x10 with one-click-method, because i really don't understand how to use flasher / xrecovery
(EDIT)
Can someone help me, how to downgrade this un-root-able firmware to the previous one?
After downgrade, what i need to do is follow the 3 link above posted by xperiax10iuser, right?
Thank you for you help

HI XperiaX10iUser,
Thank you for saving my life
I tired the first method but kept getting NullPoint error, then i tried the nonGUI flasher and it worked like a charm. now i am reinstating the system image created by Xrecovery.
AgentJBM : i understand your frustration, however there was no direct link and the methods mentioned were not as clear for a Noob like me.
thanks all for your help.

I wasn't frustrated. I'm just trying to help other noobs realize that you're not going to find one thread with A-Z. They give you A, H, P, and Z. You have to use search and links to do the ones in between. I'm a noob myself, just a step of two ahead of you, who understands both sides. They aren't being short or impatient. They just expect you to be able to navigate xda if you're going to be messing with your phone.

[Q] root issues

Hello guys, well today I updated my phone from android 1.6 to 2.1 via the SEUS. I tried to root my device but failed in vain. I tried out the z4 root 1.30 but that didn't work either. I am a bit agreeably using the flash method. Is there any workable alternative to get my cell rooted?i would prefer a single click approach.
Thanks
In a nut shell, no. You need to flash back to 504 firmware and start from there, as said on AF.
Flash and debrand with THIS, install THIS, then THIS, and you'll have an up to date, debranded and rooted X10.

To be frank I really have no idea about flash. I have heard that it is very risky. If something goes wrong then the device ends up getting bricked.

So long as you read the first post and browse the first few pages you'll be alright. X10 is pretty much unbrickable right now so get reading and give it a go.
Well okay, I will give it a shot. Will tell you about the progress. Thanks for the help:-D. Btw are you also there in phandroid?

my x10 flasher is getting downloaded. Before i start the process, i wanted to ask you whether by flashing will my xperia get rooted? because for custom xperia recovery to work they mention that they NEED a ROOTED device. also they need an app called the busy box.
what should i do?
Is there any video tut regarding the procedure? I downloaded all the things necessary for the procedure.

One more thing, in the video he just showed how to upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1 I guess thats the official update which he installed. I have mine already upgraded to the OFFICIAL 2.1 so is it necessary to follow the first step of reflash?

It was posted as a guide, so you'll need to use a bit of initiative.
You mean I should still reinstall 2.1 via the procedure demonstrated?

I mean use the video as a guide so you understand the flashtool. Could have it done multiple times over by now, and to be blunt, the only obstacle now is you.

I understand wanting to be cautious, but you've had enough information to help you and the next step should be attempting it, then reporting issues or success.

How to use custom roms
Hi.
Search for flashtool in this forum... it will help you root your phone and get xrecovery and busybox installed. You will need that to install custom roms.
Custom roms will also be found in this forum, so a little search will help.
Keep in mind that GB for X10 does not have full camera implemented. I have Froyo (MIUI) which works like a charm for me.

Classic!! lol...
Check this out
You'll find that most people here are willing to help out, but you are expected to do your homework also. As you can see, all the questions you might have have been asked before. If you search first you'll find most of your answers faster than posting a new thread. AND if you still don't find what you need people will be a lot more willing to help seeing that you tried before. Enjoy!
To be fair I tryed using the search function yesterday numerous times and it didn't work. Kept saying come back in 20 minutes.
Really frustrating and I always seem to need help when its not working.
Sort it out xda
