[Q] Flashed but can't root on my x10 - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hmm what could be the issue? Or if i have to wait, how long to wait for the root to be clickable? I'm a little worn out over these issues, as part of it is my fault as i already have it rooted everything done. But funny thing is when i optimize my phone or try to install the android keyboard (not the default input) it won't reboot. So i went to use another flashtool to try to install it but ended up i face some issues but i got it fixed. Puzzled, are we not allowed to optimize or install custom apks?

You canNot optimize with flashtool (for 2.3) what are you running???

Try flash it again and don't optimize it with flash tool, it breaks xrec and might cause bootloop...

I see. Yeah i followed, but how long will the root button clickable? If not i can't root at all. Another question, what's xrecovery for?

This happened to me as well, you gotta keep trying and it at the right moment. try flashing downgrade, then upgrade and then again downgrade and then try...it takes a few tries. I just rooted my device.

I have the same

is it rooting the 2.3.3 on x10i does not need to unlock the bootloaders 1st??

Try flashing a general unbranded rom, some continental version if you find. And root after that. I had the same problem with the Ro firmware, got an European Fw and it worked. Also try and stay below 10e to root.
As for information, Gingerbreak roots it.
You must try gingerbreak it will surely gonna root it ,but mind it its gonna root permanently, so you can't unroot again.

Yes, Gingerbreak is the solution.
But I think with KDZ firmware updater u can unroot the device.

Version 1.2 of Gingerbreak includes the Un-root option... so, just give it a try and report afterwards!
Gingerbreak have un-root option and it works fine. And if you flash oficial firmware with KDZ - you got un-root to.

lol dunno
i bought my atrix off of ebay, rooted and unlocked the bootloader, then messed up with gingerblur. maybe it was because i had the lastest updates installed on the atrix?

You were supposed to flash through the system recovery app's recovery, but anyways back to your question. If you follow directions on how to do things im sure you'll be fine off, as of now the only way to hardbrick is to sbf back when you have the ota installed,

Are you sure that your old atrix is hardbricked? Sounds like it would be more of a softbrick unless your old atrix had Gingerbread. Eitherway, it sounds fixable.

Root?

Do I have to flash doomlord's firmware and then go on super one click or from stock firmware from England can I just root with super one click safely.

Anyone know?

I used doomlords firmware and mines rooted successfully.
Try with his first, then if it works , try the English firmware and do the same steps.
Sorry if im not clear with my answers this is the first forum ive actively posted on

superoneclick uses exploits to get root if the phone doesnt have unsecure kernel. However, there is no exploit for the new gingerbread SE software right now (gingerbreak is fixed!). Therefore there is now chance right now to get root without unlocking bootloader and flash unsecure kernel :/
Therefore you have to flash the unsecure kernel, and then superoneclick gets root quite easily.
Oh, so basically the unsecure kernel hasnt got the patch or fix or update that stops you from rooting, its been removed ? Am I right ???
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
no, there is just an option "secure" which (if set to 0) allows superoneclick to root very easy!
Oh k, I get it

You need to relock the bootloader in order to use the official way to upgrade.

It is quite easy once you have done it a couple of times. I used to flash my x10 on a daily basis. Sometimes 3 or 4 times a day because I was bored or several ROM updates came at once lol
