gingerbread help!!! - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just installed Wolfbreaks 2.3 and tried to reboot into recovery but it would just boot into the OS. I followed the instructions on the OP and found that busyox wasn't on the apps list like it should be and titanium wouldn't run because it needed ROOT privileges. help me, how do I install root on 2.3 or is that not possible?

yes, I did every part, I followed the video posted in OP.. my phones rooted but I can't access Xrecovery what do I do?

well I just found a fix for my phone. I think installing over a 2.2 rom was at fault here, for some reason after installing Wolf's 2.3, my phone wasn't rooted (no busybox,superuser,Xrecovery) and once I tried to install xrec on my pc, it wouldn't find my phone, so after all that, I decided to try installing it on my sister's pc and it worked, my phone is rooted with xrec working. so any one out there not wanting to restore back to 2.1 when installing 2.3 SHOULD install back to 2.1, installing from custom roms causes problems, learnt the hard way,. but if there are people here that went the same way I did and don't have their x10 rooted, go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196421
install Xrec and root it

[Q] HELP!!!!

My x10 mini is running Android 2.1, Build number is 2.0.1.A..0.47
I can't root the phone with z4root and superoneclick.
I need someone to help me please!!
re: help
what happens exactly?
Do a repair using SEUS and then use z4root. Very easy - can't go wrong.
1. Put the z4root file on the SD-card
2. Download Astro file manager (free version from android market) and install it.
3. Use Astro to locate z4root on your SD-card and install it
4. Open z4root
5. Choose root phone
6. Wait until the phone reboots
Finished!
I did it already, and I tried a lot of ways. Still not works.
Thx
Which version do you use of z4root? 1.2? 1.3? and can you tell me what happens when you try to root, with z4root.
I ask because I and lots of other user have no problem with the z4root, I only seen one user that had to wait for around 10 min before the phone restarted. But after that was the phone rooted.

This build is the same as x8's build and we can't seem to root it either.
One thing that you can do is revert to .504 build and use that

Please try this version 1.3 of z4root it should work for you (atleast do many reports says it will work for your firmware).
Better to try and fail, then never try at all
Unfortunately it doesnt work with this build.
Thanks for trying it! I will add a notice that it dont work on your firmware in my thread.

There is NO need for any ADB commands! you only need the z4root file and to download the ASTRO file manager (free version) from Android market. And then are you ready to start to root!
Just remember to put the z4root file on your SD-card.

Rooting unsuccesful?

Usually, i use z4root to root my x10. Its very easy and fast
But since yesterday, I messed up my phone and all those apps gone in the menu, but the memory is still there
So i decided to restore with SEUS
i updated to a newer software
after that, z4root no longer working
SuperOneClick v1.5.5 also not working as well
Can anybody tell me any solution or ways to root the phone?
Thanks

You've updated to a new ROM which, until now, is unrootable. However, you can flash the previous ROM, re-root it and then flash zdzihu's pre-rooted ROM along with JiT.

Downgrade Free X10 to 2.1(Assistance please)

Hi Everybody,
I was wondering if its possible to downgrade free x10 beta 4 to any 2.1 rom,or the latest rogers update.
If i made a nandroid back up(im on .54)with free x10,then installed the latest update from rogers. Would I be able to enter x recovery again and restore the free x10 rom,and be able to switch back when I need to ?
Or do I need to re root after the SE update,and use something like mybackup to restore some of my data settings(adw,contacts,txts etc).
I just want to be able to switch from 2.1-2.2 at anytime,is this possible ?
Use SEUS or PC Companion
For contacts -> gmail sync
SMS -> app ''sms backup & restore''
ADW - simply backup and restore after installing again.
Hope it helps!
So will I be able to flash between Roms then,after updating with Se ?

the latest rogers baseband is .55, which does work with beta 4. So if you install that firmware, root it again and install jit and xrecovery, make a backup of that, then reflash beta 4, make a recovery of your setup for that... then you'll be able to go back and forth between the two by just restoring the two recoveries
Could you please post a link to the latest version of superuser
superuser? after you root it is usually preinstalled, otherwise you can get it from the android market!
I dont think so,Ill find it then. Theres been issues when people have updated and lost root and had to find and use superuser
Whoops,I confused my self,I was talking about superoneclick for rooting.Im gonna use the flash tool

[Q] LG G2x rooting failure

I just upgraded to Gingerbread from Froyo. My phone was rooted on Froyo. I am attempting to root my phone using GingerBreak-v1.20.apk downloaded from the site. I followed the instructions. The rooting process seems to freeze up. I let it run for 30 minutes and finally rebooted my phone. The phone IS NOT rooted. None of my root applications work. I have several applications that need rooting. Can anyone help me? I have an LG G2x running Android 2.3.3. Thanks.
mmm try to install clockworkmod and after install cyanogen with the zip .
or if u want only root u could try root by paul ... search on modaco.com
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

[Q] Problems with custom roms and apps

hi there,
i have some frustrating problems with my x10 mini pro and custom roms loaded from here (like gingerdx v15 and minicm7 pro v16).
first of all, i cleaned my phone with fresh firmware 2.1.1 from SE.
wiped user data and loaded custom rom. so far everything ok
BUT when i install apps like root explorer or navigon, these apps wont work. crashes right after i start them.
i am about to go back to stock 2.1.1 cause of that
Check that your phone is rooted correctly with superoneclick tool or flashtool, programs that require root access may crash otherwise.

superoneclick says my phone is already rootet
don't think its the root access, because navigon doesn't need root
