Hi Team,
I just upgraded my Android ver to 2.2.2 (v10d). Does anyone know how to root the same????????
Thanks in Advance
me too want plz help
2.2.2 is not rootable. The way to root your phone is to downgrade to version 2.2 and then to root using the z4root app. There are hotels on this forum if you search.

Downgrade to V10B ... which is 2.2 ... then you can root using z4root or Super One Click Root (using rageagainstthecage exploit) ....
I think you can root
Did you use SuperOneclick 1.7?
I will root your device
I Did.

Just to be really sure. You mean you able to root 2.2.2 with SuperOneclick 1.7? I tried z4root on v10f (2.2.2), but it didn't work. Now I am back to 2.2 (v10c).

SuperOneclick 1.7 can't root the p500 2.2.2。
Im currently using V10R (2.2.2) with root but if you want it you will have to downgrade to 2.2, grant root in ur phone, and then cook the original 2.2.2 room with root before installing it on phone again.
search gingerbreak apk and u install it on ur phone follow wat it says. Worked on my optimus one without having to downgrade it
I rooted my optimus 2.2.2 version with gingerbreak 1.2 you can get it from here... make sure usb debugging is on

Hi, guy & girls
i am wanting to root my X10i and then install the gingerbread system on my phone, i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of which method to use when rooting as i know there are a few tools out there for rooting, (easy as possible really)
Thank You, any help will taken on board..
Just look up flashtool on android development as it's probably the easiest method. If not then try superoneclick.
i have done superoneclick and the superuser app had appeared on my phone, how do i go about installing gingerbread?

Yes, but you must install busybox with flashtool, then install xrecovery from the xrecovery thread. Have you used flashtool before?
Then read about a gingerbread ROMS thread to install the ROM through xrecovery.
If you have trouble, I will post links when I get to a computer tomorrow.

please do help me
just use Flashtool, the easiest method i know, you can root, then instal busybox, then install xrecovery.
see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
so, this is the deal:
i dont know how to use flashtool.
My PC's system requirments for flashtool are more than enough.
i just dont understand how to use it.
i keep getting stuck at "not detected" or something.
ANYWAY, LEAVE THAT! i dont care about flashtool.
i updated my firmware 1.6 to 2.1
then i rooted my 2.1
then installed busybox
then installed xrecovery
then wiped everything
then installed many firmware 2.1 custom roms
HOWEVER, i find that i can only install 2.1 custom roms. i cant install 2.3 or higher custom roms. My phone keeps restarting automatically if i did that. so the latest CM mode i can use is 6.1.3 ! which is sad.
how can i get 2.3 or higher custom roms to work
on my phone without endless-automatic-restart-loop ???
pls tell me. thankyou.

thanks but i cant use PCcompanion or SEUS because i will end up with 2.3. i dont know how to root 2.3 without flashtool (REMEMBER I TOLD YOU I CANNOT USE FLASHTOOL). but i can root my current 2.1 with z4root app. then i have xrecovery.
is there a (.zip) archive that i can install via xrecovery to get baseband 2.1.71 ?
No, a far as I can remember all basebands are only flashable through xrecovery.
You better get working on learning how to use flashtool...its the only way to do anything with the x10

If u install 2.1.71 bb u would have to be on 2.3 anyway not 2.1. Greg right pal u need flashtool in ur life it the only way to flash baseband currently for our phones. Follow flashtool-noobs guide you'll be fine (no need for z4 root its old, flashtool has one-click root)

hey guys, i think i found a way to root my 2.3 and install xrecovery. then i would not have the baseband problem (i had the baseband problem when i rooted 2.1 directly). It is using this software called superoneclick for the computer (i downloaded and opened it and saw a root button). does it work? if it works then it means that I do not have to learn how to use flashtool after all. I could get baseband 2.1.71 and install CM7 mod using xrecovery. No need of flashtool YAY! does the software superoneclick work for x10 if i use SEUS update to 2.3.3? :

I'm not sure whether that would work or not, but the flashtool nowadays has already evolved to an all-in-one tool, and you can do anything with it.
My recommended steps are:
1. Flash to stock 2.3.3 through flashtool/SEUS
2. Boot up phone and turn on USB debugging and unknown sources.
3. Open flashtool, you should be able to access the Advanced menu--->Root--->zergRush exploit to root your 2.3.3
4. Ask root perms then hit install xRecovery
5. Flash custom rom
These are always steps that I would recommend to people who are not too familiar with flashing.
I couldn't get superoneclick to work on gb think it was on eclair I managed to use it. Believe me USE FLASHTOOL.

hey everyone,
everyone seem to have no trouble with flashtool. but i have because everytime i try to root my x10 2.3.3, i only get a half-rooted phone with superuser, busybox and everything installed but no root access. i used FlashTool 0.2.9.1 and tried to root my x10 2.3.3 using the aZuZu Root Method (reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1196421)
so, now i am using a rooted 2.1 (i rooted with z4root not with flashtool) and installed xrecovery and custom rom 2.1. i want to use custom rom 2.3 but for that i need to root 2.3 but i cant root 2.3 with flashtool.
but when i see a root button available, i also see a button 'ask root perms' button. what is the difference?
thanks in advance.
Please help i dont make it.

Did you read the entire post? If not, do so, because there is a description of how to perform a downgrade there. After a downgrade you won't get any problems rooting your phone, will you?
Which is kinda funny - I don't even have my mini pro yet, it'll come tomorrow or in two day's time, yet I have already read the important information about firmawares, rooting, unlocking bootloader and kernel flashing method for a device I'm about to acquire. Simple as that, you only need to read it through

Hey buddy, I will tell you How to root Xperia 2011 devices ( In this case Xperia Mini Pro )
Here are the steps you need to know to root Xperia Mini Pro.

13)Run a flashing software
14)Restart your device.

its up to you but i would suggest you try a look if your phone bootloader can be unlock...if it can be unlock then i highly recommend you unlock it and flash custom kernel....custom kernel is very good since all custom kernel are pre-rooted and all have recovery by default (CWM/TWRP or Both).... that means you don't have to root your phone and install recovery again and again...
Good news is my phone can unlock the bootloader but the reason i want to root because i want clear my internal memory, 53 mb left and i want to transfer all my app to sd card and to remove bloatware app.. As far i know unlocking the bootloader will not help solve my problem, am i right?
