Here is what I believe is a simple way of rooting and installing CWM for Windows.
I have bricked my phone many times now and used SEUS to get it back to 2.1.1.A.0.6 and had to go through the process of rooting and installing CWM again. Here is what I have found.
Download SuperOneClick to a folder, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick
Create a sub-folder under this folder, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick\CWM
Download your preferred version of CWM or xRecovery (should be the 3 files "busybox", "chargemon", "recovery.tar")
Copy these 3 files into the sub-folder you created, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick\CWM
Copy the code snippet below and save as INSTALL.BAT in the sub-folder
Reflash your phone with SEUS to get back to plain 2.1.1.A.0.6
Reboot and set USB debugging mode
Run SuperOneClick and click Root - do not reboot
Once Root has finished click Shell Root - do not reboot
Open a command window and enter CD C:\SuperOneClick\CWM
Run INSTALL.BAT - this will reboot the phone at the end
Press BACK key on the phone at the Sony Ericcson text - you should get into CWM
The benefit of the above is that if you keep the files in the folder above you can repeat from step 6 very easily.
Code:
@echo off
echo.
echo.1) Run SuperOneClick
echo. a) Click Root - do not reboot
echo. b) Click Shell Root - do not reboot
echo.2) Press any key in this window to install CWM - phone will reboot
echo.
pause
..\adb devices
..\adb remount
..\adb push busybox /system/bin
..\adb push chargemon /system/bin
..\adb push recovery.tar /system/bin
..\adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
..\adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/chargemon
..\adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recovery.tar
..\adb reboot
This technique does not require installing BusyBox from the Market, setting permissions via Root Explorer or anything like that. It just uses SuperOneClick and a small script using the ADB program in the SuperOneClick folder.
I got SuperOneClick from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=515017&d=1297434892 (from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324)

Very useful, thank you. I usually spend a couple of minutes re-installing CWMR via a root explorer and it annoys me. This saves 10-20 minutes per restore
It doesn't work..
I bricked my phone 3 timies..

@easyyu
I am sorry that your phone got bricked. Unfortunately you will need to reflash your phone via SEUS. After that check your phone settings are the same as mine below. The 3 files work with my phone settings.
My X10 Mini Pro has the following Settings->About Phone
Model number U20i
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Baseband version M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel version 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Build number 2.1.1.A.0.6
@svyr
Can you confirm that the above settings are the same as in your phone. This would confirm that the 3 files work for my phone settings.

yes, the above settings from about are the same on my phone.
Hmmm, just reflashed again, ran it and forgot to include busybox/rebooted.
Now it says it can't copy the files/files are read-only and system
Any ideas?
Aside from following the 'do not reboot' (edit: ran superoneclick again and it's all good (re-run the script))
Can't vouch for the busybox/etc set above, but the on I always used still works when installed this way instead of manually.

ps here's the one I use. Can't remember where the chargemon is from, but busybox is from xrec mini and CWM is 3.2.0 rc3
I made this, a lot of test give a lot of success, but it's only for mini pro.
CWM recovery by this script easily: http://www.multiupload.com/NDZB8HSIOV
Heres more easy way to install cwm or xrecovery or jit or apps2sd
this is basically quangnhut123's AAIS script, I modified it to add cwm support,
heres the link to download http://www.4shared.com/file/KQf9bym2/AAIS.html
heres the steps to follow
1) Download n extract the aais.zip to /sdcard
2)Open terminal emulator(available on market)
3) enter following commands
su
cd /sdcard/aais
Sh install.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4) choose ur option and enter the no.
plz note it requires pre rooted device! Only for mini pro! 2.1.1.A.0.6!
Why not try D4rK's recovery installer? It is a one-click installer which lets you choose from xrecovery or CWM...Google search D4 recovery installer
For recovery I made this: http://www.multiupload.com/QE60V6RORD
It works like a charm, thanks to the script xrecovery of mikevhl
Maybe someone could make a script like that for mini ?
D4rK's recovery installer ? I can't find it, even with the google's help...

when i tried it, it didn't work on sdk 7 or was it 8...
What do you mean by sdk 7 or sdk 8? Someone mentioned sdk numbers before. Is this something to do with downloading the complete android stuff onto my windows pc just to get the adb command? This is why I thought using the adb in SuperOneClick was so useful.

no, I thought it was about downloading the SDK, but it's actually about the runtimes on the phone... I think (the only way to change them is pretty much by getting a rom with newer ones )

Here comes the latest rooting method that works with 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware.
Credits to Scotty2 for his psneuter exploit!
1. Download and unpack rootme.tar.bz2
2. Execute ./rootme (linux) or rootme.bat (windows)
3. Done.

You may also want to try SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse.zip (modified by batman_112 to use the latest exploit).

Your link is broken
Try now, I got rid of installation scripts
EDIT: Now it works flawlessly. I still have no clue why copying files with .bat file messes everything up, but manual copying does the job.
why the superone reach the root sometimes so slow?
your method uses the same exploit, and works at first try
check the files plz: Invalid or Deleted File
can't download the ratc-pack --> Invalid or Deleted File
please reup - THX
EDIT: Link is OK now --> THX
Link is OK. Downloading at the moment.

I flashed my X10 with nordic FW and tried it again Step by Step... but "permission denied"... even if i remove and make the tmp directory as described...
Ok, last thing to try... After you copy the files, go with:
Code:
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
I added some screenshots to show how the process works for me.
is this a full root? i mean, is root+shell root?

Hi guys, I've noticed some people still can't get their phones rooted with SuperOneClick method. So do I, never managed to get it working Here is a simple method of rooting, using the same exploit (rageagainstthecage - credits to author). This is quick and 100% guaranteed to work but I'd rather recommend it to advanced users.
1. Install Android Terminal Emulator from the market http://bit.ly/9B46Nl
2. Download and unpack http://www.mediafire.com/?s0428zxc7n50i28
3. Plug in the phone (usb debugging mode), copy the following files with adb and change permissions:
Code:
adb push ratc /data/local/tmp/ratc
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
adb push rootme /data/local/tmp/rootme
adb push superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/superuser.apk
adb shell
chmod /data/local/tmp/*
4. Start Terminal Emulator on your phone and issue those commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./ratc
5. Exit out of Terminal Emulator using BACK button.
6. Start any other application and exit out of it using BACK button.
7. Start Terminal Emulator again - note that you're running it as root (#)
8. Issue those commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./rootme
Your phone will reboot - and it's done. I suggest installing Busybox from the Market. Hope it helps.
Cheers!
EDIT: Fixed.

Finally I was able to root my phone
just one correction, you got to use chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
it was not allowing to root otherwise
i kept breaking my head using the "simple" SuperOneCLick but could not show my rage against the machine
thank you for explaining this process for Root.

Just saw this thread and wanted to root my phone also...I downloaded the files provided in the first post and extracted onto my PC. When I tried running the adb application, I only get a command window only for a split second and then it disappears. Am I doing something wrong?
Everything works fine until the final step where I write ./rootme in the emulator.
Before the phone reboots, it says something right after, something about superuser.apk.
Once the phone is back on the emulator goes back to $. As well as not being able to download Busybox.
Appreciate your efforts
EDIT: No worries, I managed to get root using SuperOneClick (finally!). It was rather sketchy, would've preferred your way tbh.
okey so i read slade87´s thread on how to get mutitouch on peria mini the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064558
and the truth is i dont understand how to do it so if anyone that knows how to do it then pleas tell me as most detailed as possible
thank you and forgive my ignorence
I would like to help you. Which point you don´t understand?
You must have a ROM which included the kernel "M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015"
For example "X10 Mini Froyo [ROM] MiniCM6-1.0.0-RC2, Froyo Cyanogen 6.1.3" (you can find it in google).
How to get root: (i know it´s not so easy but this is the easiest i found)
1. Download: exploid_x10mini.zip - download and extract the archive...
You will need ADB from Android SDK and USB drivers for X10 mini (part of Sony Ericsson PC Companion).
Enable USB debugging on the phone in Settings>Applications>Development and connect the phone to PC via USB. Reboot your system.
Add the Power Control widget to your active widgets on the phone, so you can quickly turn off and on the wi-fi function.
From the command line (on windows it's cmd.exe):
cd c:\exploid_x10mini (or another folder where you've extracted the files from exploid_x10mini.zip)
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid
adb push busybox /sqlite_stmt_journals/busybox
adb shell
cd sqlite_stmt_journals
chmod 755 exploid
chmod 755 busybox
Immediately after the next command, you will need to disable and enable the wi-fi using the power widget on the phone:
./exploid
then run:
rootshell
enter password rootnow
prompt will change to # - now we have root
./busybox cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/
./busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/
./busybox cp busybox /system/bin/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
rm /system/bin/rootshell
exit - out of rootshell
exit - out of adb shell
Now you can follow the instructions.
To open a shell you need "Android Terminal Emulator". You can find it in Android Market.
Please keep in mind that i just searched for this instruction to help you. I´m not responsible if you brick your phone. Good luck!
nice i didnt knew the possible...
Thanks puRR_cAt for your help however I already rooted my phone and I thought that I didn't need a rom to get multi touch if there's a way to do it without a rom tell me

You need to root first.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196421
Then in flashtool click 'ask root permissions' and have your phone unlocked and accept superuser permissions w/the prompt on your phone. Then you're good to go.
*edit- make sure it is the fixed xrec for 2.3.3. I use a Rom w xrec included so I didn't have to install it & I dont remember if that's the one in flashtool now.
Which firmware version are you on?

Just start all over with flashtool it will work then.
Go to settings then applications, then development, check debug mode.
Start flash tool on your pc and connect the phone
IF the phone is rooted, it should be recognized by flash tool
On flash tool click ask root perm, look at your phone screen, superuser should pop up asking if to give permission, simply choose allow.
Then click recovery on flash tool and wait a sec....
should pop up asking which gingerbread version to use. choose 0.3GB, since its gb version you have.
when you're ready to use xrecovery, restart the phone
as soon as the phone comes on and the first sony ericsson name comes up, keep pressing the back button, xrecovery will come up.
i did both kernel things...but the thing is it won't recognize my device as a rooted device...i have superuser and I have used apps that require root...so i guess the problem is well idk...and thats what i need help with sorting out.
1. Install busybox from market (xrec needs busybox)
2. Give root explorer root acces and mount /system writeable (look in settings of your file explorer)
3. Copy files to right place:
chargemon to /system/bin
charger to /system/bin
sh to /system/xbin
xrecovery.tar to /system/xbin
4. Give above files the right permissions (long touch on file and choose property option):
user > read, write, execute
other > read, execute
group > read, execute

- on your device enable USB debugging , connect USB cable and run RSDLite ....click on Show Device ( if your device is detected you'll see your device ....Model XT910 .....) , now click on ...(Filename) and go to your Fastboot Files archive previously downloaded and click Start . That's all ....wait ~ 10 min for update your device with the new version.
HOW ROOT YOUR DEVICE :
- go to .../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools and copy all *.exe and all *.dll into .../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/tools
- go to UPDATE_ROOT_CWM/ROOT/ and copy *.* into ../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/tools
- enable USB debugging on your device , connect USB cable ...
- go to .../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/tools and click on Command Prompt
> adb devices
....you'll see your nr. device here ....
> adb push motofail /data/local/tmp
> adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/motofail"
> adb shell "/data/local/tmp/motofail exploit"
> adb reboot
.....wait for reboot your device....
> adb remount
> adb push su /system/bin/
> adb push busybox /system/xbin/
> adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
> adb shell
>/# chmod 755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
>/# chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
>/# chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
>/# system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
>/# exit
> adb reboot
......wait for reboot your device .....
After reboot your device is ROOT, you can download Root Check Basic on Market and Verify Root Access ! ( allow su asked ...)
HOW INSTALL ClockWorkMod Recovery :
- go to UPDATE_ROOT_CWM/CWM/ and copy .apk into .../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/tools
- go to .../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/tools and click on Command Prompt
> adb push RazrBootstrap.apk /data/app/
> adb shell
>/# chmod 755 /data/app/RazrBootstrap.apk
>/# exit
> adb reboot
....wait for reboot your device .....
After reboot run on your device Razr Bootstrapper , check Bootstrap Recovery and click Reboot Recovery. Now you have CWM Recovery working and you can install your update.zip for customizing your favorit devices !

HI !
Please replace busybox with this version : => http://www.4shared.com/zip/A8_XZYnB/busybox.html
( Previous version of the busybox damage the root !!! )
Thanks and sorry for mistake ! Good Luck !
10000000x thanks
Thank you so much for this. I've been trying for a long time to regain root access after I made an error. This saved my device.
[Q] OTA update?
Question. Do I have to avoid OTA update (eu 2.3.6) and flash it via CWM/fastboot?
If yes. Why?

Hi!
No, not required ! You can do very well OTA update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 and after that you can root your device . Good luck !
You can use RSD Lite for update your device if update exist ( you need to search and found fastboot files for your device ) , but the device does not find ! ( into system updates ). I hope you understande me .
For some reason, 4shared will not allow me to download. I signed up, but the download never starts.

Hi!
If you can not download on 4shared , now you can do on hotfile. Is the same archive , but with correct busybox .
=> http://hotfile.com/dl/149154452/d7164d2/UPDATE_ROOT_CWM.zip.html
thanks for this guide. any way to get back to stock if you root? If so, how? Because when ICS get's released OTA it's nice to get it and then use root again. Also if I only want to stay stock and get root how do I do that? In the guide you state "get the appropiate fastboot files for your rom" But I want to stay on stock 651.73.30.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU and get root. Is that possible?

Thanks! Good to go now.
OK, so I have a rooted I9300 and for some reason for the last few weeks I cant update the subinary and titanium wont get root access.
I did many google searches, tried a few thing eg (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900217) , tried rooting again (even though I know Im rooted but nothing works.
So the next thing I want to try is to unroot my phone and root again.
My question is, because I cant access titanium to back everything up,
is there a way to unroot WITHOUT losing all apps and data?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Make nandroid backup and restore apps using titanium when your phone are rooted again.
Use MybackupPro to backup messages/contacts/bookmark/system setting/bookmarks.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Uninstall super su via Google Play and reinstall .

Cant use nandroid. It needs busybox which requests root access.

Tried it- it wont uninstall but go back to an earlier version.
Reinstalled the latest version and Im getting the same message.
Root checker app says "This device does not have proper root access".
...just re-root it? Assuming you used CF-Root and will be flashing it again, when CWM runs again and installs the SuperSU ZIP, /system/xbin/su will get overwritten (and get set with the correct permissions).
Else, if whatever reason you don't want to do that, if you have CWM recovery installed, just mount /system, and using ADB delete /system/xbin/su, /system/app/Superuser.apk, /system/bin/.ext and install CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip again.
If you don't have CWM, you can use a kernel with an insecure adbd (Perseus kernel has this for Jellybean ROMs, and earlier Siyah and GalaxSih kernels have this for ICS) and delete /system/xbin/su and /system/app/Superuser.apk. You'll have to manually install SuperSU from the ZIP.

I tried rooting again- didn't change anything.
I do have CWM.
Tried using ADB, but it requests root access and fails to get it...

Good, ADB will be running as root in CWM by default. Boot into recovery mode, go to mounts and storage, and select Mount /system.
If you don't already have ADB setup and the correct drivers installed (if you already have Kies installed then you have the drivers installed). do the following. You can check, if you wish, by seeing when you connect your phone in recovery - you should have a SAMSUNG Android ADB Device under SAMSUNG Android Phone or an Android Debugger Bridge device in Device Manager. If not:
Download http://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r14-windows.zip and extract the three files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll to a place of your choosing
install the drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/?2243ouw1701zp8l (Extracted from Kies_2.5.0.12094_27_11.exe)
disconnect and reconnect your phone
Go to the folder where you have adb installed in the Command Prompt, and run "adb shell". Run the following commands:
Code:
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
chattr -i /system/xbin/su [in case Survival Mode is turned on in SuperSU]
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/bin/su [ignore this one if it throws an error]
rm -r /system/bin/.ext
That should unroot your phone.
Go to "Install ZIP from sdcard" and choose to install a zip from the internal sdcard.
Exit out of the root shell (Ctrl+C or, alternatively, "exit" and you'll be sent back to the command prompt) on your computer and download the SuperSU ZIP.
Go back to the command prompt and type this "adb push " (including the space) and drag the CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip onto the command prompt window, add a space and type "/data/media". You should have something like "adb push <path to CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip> /data/media"
This should put the SuperSU ZIP onto the root of your internal memory card. Choose go back on your phone and select to install a ZIP from the internal memory card again. You should see CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip. Install it, reboot, update SuperSU from the Play Store and run SuperSU from the app drawer. You should get a prompt asking you to update the su binary. Do so.
Grab Android Terminal Emulator on the Market, and run "su". If all went well, SuperSU should ask you for permission. Grant it and if the $ turned into a # and the command "id" says uid=0 (root) then you're rooted!
OK, Im really sorry and embarrassed to say that I got confused with my tab 10.1.
I Do not have CWM installed.
Tried installing it now and could not. I stay on odin mode and I dont get the CWM menu...
I guess at this stage when my root is screwed I cant install CWM anymore.
What can I do now?
Thanks again and sorry for the confusion..

Flashing CF-Root should always get you CWM as it's done through ODIN, which does not care if your phone is rooted or not. When you're flashing CF-Root, make sure the auto reboot option remains ticked. If your phone doesn't boot into CWM after ODIN reboots it, then take note of the following:
Chainfire said:
- NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.

Under the mounts and storage option, select mount /system. It will change to "unmount /system" if selected correctly.
The commands are run from an "adb shell" session, which you can get to by doing this:
Extract those three ADB files from that platform-tools ZIP to a folder somewhere (I chose C:\adb out of randomness). Open that folder and while holding down the shift key, right-click a blank, white area in the folder and select "Open command window here". You can then type "adb shell", which will allow you to run those commands.

There isnt mount system there. I see unmount system.
I see mount data, preload etc.
OK, that's fine, you may move on to running those commands.
Two problems:
1. running "chattr -i /system/xbin/su"
resulted in a "chatter not found" message.
2. Trying to push the su zip resulted in this message: "error: device not found".

If rm worked on /system/xbin/su, then ignore it as you don't need it anyway.

Reconnect the phone and try again?
not working after numerous attempts.
Can I Start the phone and move the zip file manually with a micro sd cable? If not, what else?

That should be fine
moved it to internal memory and after shutdown, power+home+volume up wont take me to cwm anymore but to android system recovery.
Why? How do I get back to cwm? Install it again with Odin?
BY THE WAY, I can still see supersu is installed on my device. Does it mean what we did did not work?
OK, I can confirm this method works
I just installed the zip of the supersu and now Ive got full root privileges.
The reason I couldnt get into cwm was that for some reason I get a short android upgrade each time I boot up. This upgrade deletes cwm. Thats why I found out that I need to install CWM and then immidiately press power-volume up-home, before i let the device power up.
I want to give a big thanks to qwerty12 for the help and much needed patience.
