[q] !!! Root xperia x10 mini pro helpp !!! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi ,... im trying to root my xperia x10 mini pro like in this post:
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.
1.Download SuperOneClick to a folder, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick
2.Create a sub-folder under this folder, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick\CWM
3.Download your preferred version of CWM or xRecovery (should be the 3 files "busybox", "chargemon", "recovery.tar")
4.Copy these 3 files into the sub-folder you created, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick\CWM
5.Copy the code snippet below and save as INSTALL.BAT in the sub-folder
6.Reflash your phone with SEUS to get back to plain 2.1.1.A.0.6
7.Reboot and set USB debugging mode
8.Run SuperOneClick and click Root - do not reboot
9.Once Root has finished click Shell Root - do not reboot
10.Open a command window and enter CD C:\SuperOneClick\CWM
11.Run INSTALL.BAT - this will reboot the phone at the end
12.Press BACK key on the phone at the Sony Ericcson text - you should get into CWM
i made a root w/superoneclick, and apear an option in my phone "superuser" etc... and when i try to do the shell root... appears something like this:
device as a temporary ADB root!Reboot your device to remove it
and when i run install.bat its the same...
...ADB isnt recognized bla bla bla....
can you give me some help?!?

Seems like the install.bat script can't locate adb command. Copy the content of cmw folder to whereever you installed the adb platform tools. You did download these I assume?
Or
Copy adb tool to the cwm folder.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

actually not all devices are supported with adb shell...

[Guide] Switching between Free X10 Froyo 2.2.1 and xRecovery

Thanks to J & Z for creating such a wonderful rom (Free X10 Froyo 2.2.1) and the wonderful utility xRecovery for us to play with. xRecovery is a must have if you want to play with different roms. The thing is that Free X10 & xRecovery can't coexist.
On close study, I found that the difference is only the chargemon. Both share the same busybox file. So I write these 2 little scripts to make the switching easier.
I would assume that you have already installed both Free X10 & xRecovery before. Your SD Card should have the folders: FreeX10 and xrecovery.
Preparation:
1. Copy chargemon for Free X10 to FreeX10 folder in the SD Card (it should already be there)
2. Copy chargemon for xRecovery to xrecovery folder in the SD Card
3. Copy freex10.sh and xrec.sh to root folder of the SD Card
To Switch to Free X10:
Start adb shell or use terminal emulator from your phone, then type:
su
sh freex10.sh
the phone will reboot and you can boot into Free X10 by pressing the back key when the Sony Ericsson logo appears
To Switch to xRecovery (boot into 2.1 rom first):
Start adb shell or use terminal emulator phone, then type:
su
sh xrec.sh
the phone will reboot and you can boot into xRecovery by pressing the back key when the Sony Ericsson logo appears
Notes:
1. I am not a coder, so I use cut & paste to write my scripts. There maybe easier way to do this
2. You may take out these 2 lines:
busybox cp -f /sdcard/FreeX10/e2fsck /system/bin/e2fsck
busybox cp -f /sdcard/FreeX10/ramdisk.tar /system/bin/ramdisk.tar
In freex10.sh if you already have the 2 files e2fsck & ramdisk.tar copied to /system/bin folder

[TUT] E10a/E10i: decrypt .sin files, downgrade, pre-root, xRecovery, update.zip

EDIT: I have slightly modified this guide for it to be more useful for all X10 Mini users, not only for E10a users but for E10i users too. Enjoy!
This is a guide for flashing an E10a X10 Mini with a pre-rooted, xRecovery-enabled update.zip file by using the xRecovery tool for X10 Mini.
WARNING: THE UPDATE.ZIP FILE LINKED TO IN THIS GUIDE IS ONLY FOR AN E10A X10 MINI, FOR EXAMPLE DEVICES WHICH CURRENTLY RUN ON FIRMWARE VERSION 2.0.1.A.0.47 - IF YOU USE THIS GUIDE WITH AN E10I YOU WILL NEED TO USE YOUR OWN UPDATE.ZIP, WHICH YOU CAN EITHER CREATE USING aZuZu's SMALL KITCHEN OR WHICH YOU CAN DOWNLOAD FROM ANOTHER THREAD.
DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk! This guide is provided WITH NO GUARANTEE that it will work. I am not responsible if you brick/destroy your phone. Follow these steps CLOSELY and DO NOT PM me if you are having problems. If it doesn't work, it's because you didn't follow the guide correctly. MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, OR PLEASE WAIT FOR AN EASIER WAY OF ROOTING YOUR PHONE.
BEFORE you begin following these steps, MAKE SURE that you've read ALL OF THEM twice over, that you UNDERSTAND their implications, and that you have DOWNLOADED EVERYTHING that you need (THIS INCLUDES the files and tools that you must download in the guides that this guide links you to)!
1. Acquire your phone's decrypted .sin files:
[1.a] Run SEUS (a.k.a. Sony Ericsson Update Service) to flash your phone, then copy the "FILE_xxxxxxxxx" files (there are 3 - approximately 64KB, 14MB and 112MB) from "C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\[8 numbers]\blob_fs\" to a folder where you will work with them.
[1.b] Download Bin4ry's ConvertTool.zip and extract the files into the same folder as your files.
[1.c] Open up a command prompt (run cmd) and navigate to your work folder using the "cd" command.
[1.d] Run SEUSDECRYPT.BAT as explained in the guide linked to in step [1.a] to obtain your decrypted .sin files. CLARIFICATION: For the two largest files, rename the .tgz files to .zip files, then use WinRAR to extract the files within those .zip files. The .sin files are inside of the .tgz files WITHIN the zip files. Then, for the smaller 64kb file, Run it through SEUSDECRYPT.BAT like the two other files, but simply rename it to loader.sin and put it with your other .sin files in the next step.
[1.e] The files have a long file name and must be renamed to shorter names (i.e. rename them to only the beginning of their original file names). Use the Nordic file names downloaded in step [2.a] as a template to know for sure what you need to rename them to. Once renamed, copy ONLY the files that you need (there should be 9: amss_fs.sin, amss.sin, cache.sin, fota0.sin, fota1.sin, kernel.sin, loader.sin, simlock.ta, userdata.sin) into one folder. MAKE SURE that you EXCLUDE system.sin, as copying it along with your other .sin files will OVERWRITE YOUR WORK later in this guide! Instead of system.sin, we will be using update.zip SEPARATELY (which is the sole purpose of this guide!)
[1.f] If you choose to create your own update.zip file using aZuZu's Small Kitchen in step [3.a], then keep your system.sin file elsewhere for future use.​
2. Flash your phone with the Nordic firmware (ONLY IF you currently CAN NOT root your phone) [2.a], root it with z4root [2.b], and install xRecovery [2.c]:
[2.a] If z4root does not work on the firmware currently installed on your phone, you will need to "downgrade" to a firmware that you can root. Here is a shortcut to doing so, since you won't be using the firmware that you will be "downgrading" to once you are finished. follow Bin4ry's guide to flash your phone to the e10i Nordic firmware, which can be rooted with z4root. Do not worry about your data connection for this step, as you will not be using this firmware once you have finished following this guide. If/when a dialog to enable your data connection pops up, DECLINE.
[2.b] Root your newly flashed Nordic firmware (or your currently installed firmware if you did not need to perform step [2.a]) using z4root (RECOMMENDED: select permanent root). Alternatively, you can simply use Bin4ry's Flashtool (from step [2.a]) which includes z4root.
[2.c] Once your phone is rooted and has rebooted (automatically done by z4root as a final step), follow this guide to install xRecovery on your phone. If the installer application doesn't work, I recommend that you get adb (which is in Bin4ry's FlashTool's "FlashToolRelease" folder) to manually install it, either by following the steps in the aforementioned guide or by doing the following:
1. Copy these 3 files (which you can download from the aforementioned xRecovery guide) to the root of your SD card: busybox, chargemon, xrecovery.tar ... Once these are copied, disable USB file sharing on your phone, but DO NOT disconnect your phone.
2. Run the following command in adb shell, without the quotes: "su" (A dialog from the SuperUser app might/will pop up, select "Allow")
3. Run the following command, without the quotes: "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system"
3. Run the following command, without the quotes: "busybox cp /sdcard/busybox /sdcard/chargemon /sdcard/xrecovery.tar /system/bin/"
4. Run the following command, without the quotes: "mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system"
5. That's it! You've now manually installed xRecovery and can close your adb shell if you want.​
3. Install update.zip onto your phone using xRecovery:
[3.a] Download my update.zip file (Alternate link: click here) (this file is only for E10a!! E10i users must either find another update.zip for their phones or create their own using aZuZu's Small Kitchen) and copy it to the root of your SD card. If you know how to check an MD5/SHA256/SHA512 sum, my update.zip has the following hashes:
MD5 sum: 5bd588518921b592b087d3175cff972b
SHA256 sum: 2cabcf01fe3c56f9d287e9a7eb2e4a3c2531cd9e08dd8193604d3f2f8143f6f2
SHA512 sum: 7663b37b47a7170bd8ef99838b3344eeca38e013eae98a1d2c1ba8e61f0c9192a318a39cd7a0589b75041bb3a82ca82ee6339c4894263657b3ec3eeb5c59cf7c​As an alternative to using my update.zip, you can now easily create your own update.zip files with your own system.sin file!
Just use aZuZu's Small Kitchen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897662
E10i users can either download the following update.zip file, or can find another one on their own:
Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware [rooted + xrecovery preinstalled]​
[3.b] Make sure that your phone is FULLY CHARGED, then turn your phone off.
[3.c] Turn your phone back on and right after the white Sony Ericsson logo appears, press the BACK (right) button every half-second until the xRecovery menu appears. If the xRecovery menu does NOT appear, then you did NOT install xRecovery correctly.
[3.d] In the xRecovery menu, select the "Install update.zip from SD Card" option, then wait until it says that the operation completed for the xRecovery menu to reappear.
[3.e] DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE YET, as you will need to proceed with the following steps relatively quickly BEFORE rebooting.​
4. Place your phone's decrypted .sin files in Bin4ry's FlashTool's "FlashToolRelease" folder [4.a], prepare yourself for flashing these files [4.b], then reboot your phone into flash mode [4.c] and flash your e10a .sin files to your phone [4.d/e]:
[4.*] YOU WILL NEED TO PERFORM STEPS [4.c], [4.d] AND [4.e] QUICKLY, SO DO NOT PROCEED BEFORE HAVING DOWNLOADED THE NECESSARY FILES AND PREPARED YOURSELF FOR THESE STEPS!
NOTE: Users who did not need to flash the Nordic firmware [2.a] do not need to follow any of the following steps and can simply choose the reboot option in the xRecovery menu now. ALL OTHER USERS MUST CONTINUE.
[4.a] Remember step 1? This is where you'll be using those .sin files! Place the folder containing your phone's .sin files into Bin4ry's FlashTool's "FlashToolRelease" folder.
[4.b] Run x10flash.bat, click Flash and select the folder that you just placed, just like in the guide linked to in step [2.a], but DO NOT PRESS OK YET.
[4.c] Select the "Reboot" option on your phone, in the xRecovery menu.
[4.d] Preferably BEFORE the ANIMATED Sony Ericsson logo appears (i.e. while the white Sony Ericsson logo is still there), plug your phone into your computer via USB cable, then press the BACK (right), HOME (middle) and POWER (top) buttons at the SAME TIME and hold them until the phone's GREEN LED is on.
[4.e] In Bin4ry's FlashTool, MAKE SURE that you selected the folder with your phone's .sin files! Click OK in FlashTool and wait for the files to be flashed to your phone. REMEMBER that you should NOT have a system.sin file in your folder or you will have done all of this for nothing!
[4.f] When FlashTool indicates that flashing has completed, unplug your USB cable.
[4.g] Wait 15 seconds. Turn your phone on and wait for it to boot. It may take a while to boot since it will be the first time that you boot since you flashed your phone.​
5. Congratulations! You have flashed your X10 Mini with a pre-rooted firmware with xRecovery pre-installed! ENJOY your (and our) hard work! ;-)

Thank you very much, I will try it next week end.
I don't understand This :
hen copy the "FILE_xxxxxxxxx" files (there are 3, you will need the two biggest ones - approximately 14MB and 112MB) from "C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\[8 numbers]\blob_fs\" to a folder where you will work with them.
Witch File You need putted To Sony Ericsson Update???
I did all the steps, know a lot of things are missing in the tut and I did a litle thing different, but in one step after I unrar the files I did not find loader.sin
I will try do the step of the files again, if I dont post a reply about it is bcs I coud not find the loader.sin
the things that I did different
if I rename tgz to zip I cant open or extract but if I rename to rar I can
and in the tut do not explain that need to use comands in prompt like:
C:\ConvertTool>SeusDecrypt FILE_277756147
but I will be very great if all will work
ed- still problem to find loader.sin, the rest are ok
mini e10a
@ dionei:
- for the seusdecrypt.bat explanation, please refer to step [1.d]/[1.a]:
[1.d] Run SEUSDECRYPT.BAT as explained in the guide linked to in step [1.a] to obtain your decrypted .sin files.
- for the loader.sin file, you're right, I did indeed forget to mention what to do for loader.sin, so I will update the tutorial. please see step [1.d] again.
@ redbike:
you need to find the "FILE_xxxxxxxxx" files inside "C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\[8 numbers]\blob_fs\" and copy them to another directory in which you will decrypt these files.
cheers,
uriah
[TUT] Appendix A:
Due i had to make new account and new kitchen thread here is new link to kitchen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925028
it is now "universal" for XPERIA Android phones (still lacks support for x10mini pro due i'm not in that subforum too much. You must admit it is different world, much more devs than in x10 mini subforum).
I've read this a couple of times and i still dont understand the 1st step.
I've got the FILE(s)_xxxxxxxx on the same folder as the convert tool:
C:\ConvertTool\FILE_xxxxx
On cmd i tried and run:
C:\ConvertTool>SEUSDECRYPT.BAT FILE_XXXXXXXX
SEUSDECRYPT FILE_XXXXXXXX
Im probably doing something wrong so if you could help me i would be grateful.
Found the solution ignore.

Hi....
To decrypt SE files, I´ve tried with flashtool in avanced-->decrypt and it seems ok
With flashtool you don´t need convertfiles nor rename files to .zip....
Flashtool converts "C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\[8 numbers]\blob_fs\xxxxx..." into xxxxx.sin files directly.

xrecovery not workin
Spent a whole evening trying to get xRecovery to work on a X10 Mini, used the 0.3 installer, the 1.0 installer, removed everything, copied the 3 files (and also tried moving) with root explorer, changed permissions, removed everything, tried X10 flashtool: cannot boot into xRecovery mode!
Believe me: I'm not new to flashing android phones, I read every forumpost on the subject, I cannot get this to work.
I did upgrade to the latest SE firmware 2.1-update 1 (build nr 2.1.1.A.0.6), maybe that's blocking xRecovery somehow?
Any ideas?

Easy way to install CWM or xRecovery

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

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.

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

@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.

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.

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

I made this, a lot of test give a lot of success, but it's only for mini pro.

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 )

[GUIDE] How to root Intex Cloud M6 8gb and 16gb smartphones -sc7731

Hello there,
First-off, i would like to thank the Chainfire for the SuperSU files and the Kingroot for making the rooting process easier.
As far as i am aware, it is pretty hard to root this device. It runs on a Spreadtrum chipset sc7731. However, recently i figured out how to root this device.
->> REQUIREMENTS:
1. Minimal adb and fastboot tool.
2. Kingroot app.
3. As usual, a working brain.
->> METHOD:
It seems like that the device's default.prop file comes with a configuration :
Code:
ro.secure=1
which makes it impossible to root this device with absolutely any rooting software out there including the one-click apps.
To be able to root this device, the only efficient way is to replace the stock recovery with a custom one, deleting the default su binary file inside the /system/xbin folder as well as in the /system/bin folder, installing the SuperSU.zip file and finally by installing the Kingroot apk which will ultimately root the device.
I personally prefer the TWRP but there is no official release out there for this device. So, i ported a custom recovery for it in my spare time ( It may appear somewhat ridiculous but i had nothing more interesting to do so i changed the layout :silly
I have attached the recovery file below as well as the SuperSU.zip files below.
After you have downloaded the recovery as well as the SuperSU.zip, here are the steps to root it:-
Download the minimal adb fastboot for windows. You may google it, its available easily. (It turns out it may be the only tool that may work effectively in case your device is not getting recognized by any other adb.)
Rename the recovery as twrp and place it inside the Minimal adb and fastboot folder.
Connect the device via a USB cable and make sure adb debugging is on inside the developer options.
Now open the Minimal adb and fastboot tool and type the following commands inside the prompt:-
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Type the commands in the exact sequence. Your device will boot normally. Now, time to checkout the recovery. Type the following command inside the prompt
.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
In a few seconds, you will have the custom twrp booted in front of you. Now, open the Mount tab inside the recovery and check the system option within it.
Head back to the recovery homescreen and open the Advanced tab which is followed by opening the File Manager tab.
Inside the file manager, follow the path to the pre-existing su binary file, i.e /system/xbin and delete it. Do the same with the su file present on /system/bin.
Now, head back to the recovery home ,open Install tab and select the SuperSU.zip wherever you placed it and swipe to confirm the installation.
Reboot system. (It will probably boot without the logo so don't worry if it does.)
Now Google the Kingroot.apk, download it and install it. Give it a run, it will probably fail.
So get rid of the other superuser app i.e, SuperSU app via the option present inside it, i.e "Cleanup to install other superuser app" or something like that.
After a few seconds, it will disappear from the device and probably the same might happen with the Kingroot app.
Reboot the device.
Re-install the Kingroot app and run it again.
Congrats! You just rooted your device. Go ahead and check the root via an app like Rootchecker.
The custom recovery file has been attached and happens to be in the .zip format so kindly extract the recovery from it.
If you have any query regarding this, do let me know. :v
(I would be glad if you or anyone who finds this post useful would thank me) Cheers!

[GUIDE] Root any Sony Android phone without TWRP

IMPORTANT
Rooting can break your phone. Do this at your own risk.
Intro
This guide explains how you can root any Sony Android phone without installing a custom recovery like TWRP. It's possible by downloading the latest firmware, patching the boot IMG file with Magisk and flashing the patched boot IMG.
Note 1:
If you have the XQ-AU52_EU_59.2.A.0.463-R14C firmware installed (Sony Xperia 10 II EU Android 12), you can skip downloading the firmware and converting the file from SIN to IMG. Flash the patched "boot.img" file in the attachment instead.
Note 2:
If you don't like the skin that's installed along Android 12 on the Sony Xperia 10 II, you can downgrade the firmware by using Sony Xperia Flash Tool - Emma.
Note 3:
All files I collected are available
