For 4.1.83 I would use Gingerbreak. Just backup your internal SDCARD first, as it will wipe it. I am not familiar with the 4.4.80, so I do not know if Gingerbreak will work with that. Sorry I can't help more.

how can move the applications to the memory card?
Thanks in advance!
You need to be running a ROM with apps2sd enabled.
Im not sure if using it on a stock ROM is possible or not.

Follow BTDAG's guide like i said earlier. The instructions are bang on so not much could go wrong. It is a little risky,... but its a risk most people on this site are willing to take.
*JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE PATIENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN UPDATING RADIO*
EDIT.......... LOTS of ROMS available in the development section.

Well, It's 2.1 currently. Also look at my "R4A024", I searched that but theres others which appears.
Mind linking me to the thread to do the rooting? Has to be compatible with R4A024.

I'm trying to help you help yourself. A thread full of posters reporting no issues should be enough to show you it's a decent and safe app. The worst that will happen is you'll have to reflash, so make sure you're backup just in case, but how many users in that thread have claimed they've had to.

Alright I assume it works then, how to back the current device up + after rooting can you get free paid apps?

You're the type of person who shouldn't be rooting their phone in the first place... You didn't search very hard at all...
And no, rooting does not give you "free" apps. It suddenly doesn't make the Market free, or unlock your phone. Rooting gives applications access to the operating system. e.g. tether, Titanium Backup, etc.
Use Titanium Backup to save all your apps & data.
Ah thanks, the main stuff is more controll after rooting + themes.

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] How to remove GingerBreak v1.2?

Hi,
I've installed GingerBreak 1.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765) on my LG P500, but need to have it uninstalled for obvious reasons. I searched XDA/google already on how to do this, but did not find the answer, so that's why I'm opening a new thread.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
Probably you want to UnRoot right? Just reinstall the GingerBreak, click on UnRoot e then delete the app.

2) if i want to return to a stock-rom with no rooting what i have to do? I have only to rebbot in recovery, go to advanced and then to a format data?

[sarcasm]Thansk for the detailed answer. You really help me.[/sarcasm]
If you want to go back to stock, just flash the full Rom zip 2.2.0.
If you go the opposite, there is no reason you can't apply the other method to unlock bootloader & then...
But if you don't know what you are doing, don't !

And most important thing, take Efs backup and save it somewhere safe. Do not mess this up.
