MOD EDIT: PLEASE POST ALL ISSUES RELATED TO ROOT IN THIS THREAD. DEVS PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS THREAD FOR ISSUES AND SUGGESTIONS.
I shall compile a list of problems (possible problems) that people may have when rooting or after root.
Problem: Removed stock apps, still listed in Settings > manage apps
Solution: Delete /data/system/packages.xml, reboot. The phone will repopulate and wala its gone.
Problem: No 3G
Solution: Go to Settings > Wireless controls > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. Press the left button on the X10 and click on New APN.
Problem: Phonebook doesn't work or F/Cs
Solution: Keep Timescape installed till we get custom roms. Phonebook is linked to Timescape.

Are people who are having issues restoring previous settings after rooting their phones?
This may cause random issues so its best not to restore previous settings, restoring contacts, call logs and sms are acceptable.
I would not suggest restoring old settings on a fresh root.

Problem: Headphones not working
Solution: For X10a users, don't use Step4 and 5 of rooting process
As biktor_gj mentioned:
P.S.: Mediascape is NOT required to correct audio routing between speaker & headphones. This problem was caused by differences on the kernel module that controls audio routing and the newer baseband. With last root version you shouldn't have any problems using Android's original Music app.

Step4 and 5 replaces the the baseband and the baseband for X10a is older than the rooted baseband. So for now just do Step1 - 3 until SE releases a new ROM for X10a
I shall add more later, but these I think are the problems that most people are having.
were all the drivers installed properly? check the device manager for any unknown devices after you plugged your X10. if you haven't installed seus please do so. also make sure you use the first usb you plugged the X10 in flash mode. otherwise search registry again for the DeviceID. if you plugged the X10 in flash mode to more than one usb ports, you may have more than one entries in the registry for the DeviceID
Not sure what I did but its working now.. on step 2 halfway done
Im having issues with step4.. it says no device found..
nvm.. got it working now

Nice... Let me know since I am going to root it as well.... From Rogers.
Issues after Root. PLEASE DO NOT POST ISSUES ON THE ROOT THREAD
So here are some issues i now have after rooting,
Internet (WiFi or 2G/3G) So slow it is painful yet Market runs fine.
SD/apps is empty(i would like Mediascape back)?
superuser.apk app just displays a black screen (is this right)
cant assign walpapers as Mediascape was used to assign them.
hey do you have to debrand first before you root and can someone post instructions to root Xperia X10a
Rogers Xperia X10-Stock
For me all apps are in "/sdcard/apps/" but I can't install "Mediascape" (Quadrapop installed/uninstalled successfully) via Astro (maybe it's normal) or by copying "mediascape.apk" and "mediascape.odex" files to "/system/app" (Astro/Better Terminal Emulator).
I haven't issues with Wifi.
hoafter root we loose mediascape, can we install it again or is there an media software as an alternative? can i install mediascape again?
or is there an alternative as media image vieafter root we loose mediascape, can we install it again or is there an media software as an alternative?er
1) my keyboard is gone.
I only have HTC IME Mod installed, and it's not working
2) I have a few old O2 shortcuts in the app list but they seem to have been removed and when I click on them it force closes.
Solved issue 1 by installing another keyboard (I chose slideIT)
my wifi isn't working at all idk what the problem is, but my 3g is working perfectly on my X10A
I'm using an X10a from Rogers and rooted using the first post method and third post's X10a files. My WiFi is working perfectly and so is everything else.
Okay guys, my keyboard was gone at first but I fixed that by reinstalling the keyboard. Now however, I can't change my caller id. I had it set to private before I rooted and now I can't set it back to my original caller id. The setting is missing for me. You know how you go to settings and then call settings, I don't have an option to show my caller id. The only thing there is "Network service setting" and "Network Operators" Is anyone else having the same problem as me too?
Root is done ..
Now my phone restarts each time I plug it into the USB!!
Seems that all the input methods are gone.
I had Swype installed, but it wasn't working, so I removed it thinking I could re-install it again. But when I removed to I discovered that there are no other input methods on phone anymore! Help please
reinstall another input method..
thats what I did.
The rooting process seems to have installed the htc keyboard. Go to locale and text in your settings and enable it.
I had to reinstall swype as well, but it's working great now.
Sent from my SO-01B using XDA App

no, i did not. if you mean titanium back up then yes. i followed the instructions on briefmobile..
edit: how would that effect networks or whatever it did..?
wooooow.. xD i just pluged my phone into my computer while having motorola software update started and i have full bars now.. this is very weird.
I dont know if i should be happy or worried LOL
I think I'm having a similar issue. The network is working after unlocking but I can't add my Google account, so I'm locked out of the Android Market and Gmail etc..
I am getting the message "Can't establish reliable connection" when I try to add my Google account to the phone.
I have read that the only solution to this is to do a hard reset. If I have unlocked am I safe to do a hard reset?
My other thought was to re-root and restore the Titanium Backup I took before unlocking. Maybe the system settings I saved would fix it? However when I go reboot to Fastboot and try ADB shell it no longer finds my device (USB debugging is enabled and my drivers must be up to date if I rooted three days ago).
If the easiest thing to do is just hard reset I will do that I just need to know whether it is safe after unlocking. I feel like unlocking may have interfered with whatever the phone uses to communicate with servers but I have no clue if that is possible.
Edit: I was able to root again, had not realized ADB will not work from the fastboot screen. fastboot devices showed my phone. I got rooted, side loaded Titanium Backup and BusyBox. Now I am restoring my apps and settings, I will report back if the problem with signing into Google is resolved.

Titanium Backup Restore is done now but I am not out of the water yet. I have all of my applications back and in settings under Accounts I have all of my accounts listed now, but when I launch Android Market or Gmail both applications crash. I tried to add another Gmail account to the phone and when I click Next to begin logging in, I immediately get the "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" screen, along with an error dialog saying Gmail has stopped unexpectedly.
I can't tell if this means I got further or am really in the same spot as before
So... can anyone answer the question of whether I am safe to do a hard reset after unlocking and rooting?

The problem I run into when using Titanium Backup, is that it restores the app and the data associated with the app, and the data caused force closes for the market (Play in my case) and other apps. Try clearing the cache for them. (From the home screen > Menu > Manage Applications > "App" > Clear Data)

I've honestly never tried it, but hard-reset appears to be the equivalent to wiping cache (and dalvik) and re-flashing. You might try wiping your cache and dalvik cache and flashing the ROM again. Trying a "factory" restore after modifying the factory data on your phone doesn't seem like it would work.

I did "Clear Data" for Gmail and Market (that is what it is called in my applications list, but the icon says Play).
Gmail is working again! The Market/Play app still gets to a white screen and says "Loading" with the whirly icon then goes away without any information. I see another item in the application list called Google Play Services, should I clear that data as well?

You shouldn't have to. If you're seeing a long loading screen, be patient. If it shows market in one spot and Google Play in another, it's probably trying to update.

I decided to try side-loading the Google Play Store since the market is no longer used. I got the apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836057.
Now it loads but tells me Authentication is Required. Please sign in. I checked the accounts in the menu and my google account is selected, so I'm not sure what the problem is since Gmail is fine with the account now.

Where did you start in all this? Were you on a custom ROM and are now trying to get back to stock? Are you on stock and trying to unlock the bootloader or root? The direction you're going will help determine what you may or may not want to try next.

I am getting help from you in two separate posts it looks like so I will just consolidate to this thread, I apologize for posting all over the place just hoping to knock this out before the weekend is over.
I started with the official Gingerbread ROM from Motorola. I rooted, then unlocked, then rooted again.
My goal is to end up on an ICS ROM but I would like to get a good back up of the stock ROM first, so I want to knock this problem out, back it up, then flash to a custom ROM. You suggested going ahead and flashing the custom rom, I am just worried about making the problem worse by doing that.
The only problem I am noticing is that I cannot get into the Play Store, and I still get the Can't Establish Reliable connection message when trying to add a Google account. However, Gmail is working now but I can't add another account. I have connected to Wifi and I am still having the problem while connected.

If you side-loaded Google Play, try clearing any cache (App Data) for it as well. I don't know why your market/play is acting up if all you did was root > unlock > root. Assuming you have flashed CWM Recovery, you may end up having to get Google Apps (usually called gapps) and installing them as a zip to correct this. If so, here are the steps:
Get them from here or browse them all http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ and get the ones you want.
Load them onto the root directory of the phone's SD Card (not the internal memory).
Reboot into Recovery
Choose the option "Install Zip from SD Card" using the volume keys and the lock button
Scroll down to gapps-gb-tegra-20110118-signed.zip (or whichever one you got if you browsed them) and hit the lock button
Scroll down to whichever one says "Yes" in the midst of all the "No"s (I think that's how they're listed)
Reboot when the install is finished. It shouldn't take more than a minute or two.

I'm going to try the Gapps install, but I am having an issue flashing CWM apparently. I follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 but I am still not seeing Clockwork Mod Recovery. When I reboot, hold volume down, go to Android Recovery and press up, I still see the Android/Triangle/Exclamation point icon. Press volume down and up and see a blue menu with three or 4 options but none are Install from SD, so I am guessing I'm not successfully flashing CWM.
Edit: I did not delete the system/etc/install-recovery.sh file before flashing CWM. I am trying to do that then flash again, but ES File Explorer will not let me delete the file. My super user may need to be updated, but since I can't connect to the store it won't do it on its own.
I resolved the the issue with CWM thanks to Zestar in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423&page=16
I just have to reflash every time until I decide to go for the custom rom. I installed GAPPS from CWM Recovery but I am still having the same issue with being told i need to authenticate my account.
I got a ROM backup while in CWM as well so I think at this point I will just flash a custom rom and see where that gets me. Since I got a copy of the rom I should be able to return to this point in time anyways (could be wrong though )
Thanks for your help, I will report back once I have flashed to a new ROM and see what happens.
I didn't get this done before the weekend was up but got time tonight and flashed to the TopSmarts GingerBread ROM (it is really cool to me, a first time custom rom-er). I was able to get set up on e-mail (don't have a Gmail app loaded yet) but Play Store - which I had to side load - is crashing when I try to add an account still.
I flashed the Gapps from above after flashing the new ROM but none of them showed up when the phone booted into the rom for the first time. Do I need to do something other than install from CWM?
Edit: I flashed the Gapps from TopSmarts and rebooted and was able to get Play Store running. It had a minor hiccup and repeated the sign in process a few times but now it is updating my apps. I am happy with the world again, thank you for your help.

Glad you got it working. I've never seen the TopSmarts ROM as I am also very new to the custom ROM world. I flashed CyanogenMod 7 Nightly (I didn't know Nightly versions were beta until after I flashed it), and I love it! It took me a couple of tries to get the gapps working too, but once they worked, I haven't really had a problem since.
Hello Comunity,
I flashed ICS on my SGSII like 1 or 2 weeks ago it was working great, even Android Market updated to Play Store and it was working OK.
My SGSII is International Version, not locked. It's not rooted. Bought in Dubai, got to change the Sales Code to UK (UAE was not available since it was a European ROM?) when I flashed with the ICS.
Last night (23rd March 2012) I was trying to download some free apps from Play Store App and it was displaying Error -101, for several attempts and for different apps. Keep in mind that yesterday I did not use Play Store, also the system did not update anything during the day.
Tried Clearing cache and data of Google Play/Market.
I got the screen that says Android Market is upgrading to Google Play.. blah blah blah.. press continue
But then after that now Play Store is not connecting, it says Server Error, with a Retry Button.
Tried again Clearing cache and Data... no success. Same Server Error.
Restarted the phone... no success. Same Server Error.
Tried deleting my google account and enter it again... no success... and guess what? Same Server Error.
This started approx @ 1900-2000 GMT +3. Let's see if tonight it fix by itself (but I don't think so, since the 24 hrs ban due to excess downloading from the Store is dismissed).
Any ideas how to solve this?
I was having this problems yesterday (Friday). So I cleared data on Play Store app, deleted market links with Ti. Then I rebooted & used the Market Doctor in Ti to restore those links, then rebooted again.
Decided to leave it overnight before I gave the Market another try, and I've just tried it now. No problems at all updating apps (not getting that 101 error), and apps are correctly linked to Market again; have all my apps in installed/updated (before I did that thing with Ti yesterday, Market had nothing in "installed", everything was in "All").

Excuse my ignorance, but what is Ti?
Titanium Backup Pro It has market tools which can come in handy. Not saying it will definitely fix your problem (or that it definitely fixed mine; may have been coincidence), but it might.

Not yet... I just downloaded Ti apk and patcher, but I will need to root my phone... I just don't want to switch to the Dark Side. I'll wait until tonight to root it, or maybe when I get home (April) since I'm overseas and I don't want to lose the only Communication Tool (My precious SGSII) that I have to contact home. Need to read a lot 'bout rooting.
As soon as it's fixed will let you now in this thread.
Yep let us know how you go with it. That way we can confirm whether what I did yesterday fixes this problem or not. Good luck
Edit to add - Almost forgot. If you do use the market tools in Ti, only use them for user apps & not system apps.

I already rooted my phone, so i used the "advance task killer" and kill all pps and somehow I got it working again. But I know this is a galaxy SII section but I just wanted to let you know my galaxy tab 10.1 still have the same issue. server error with the retry button. I used something closed to advance task killer but still didn't work. So bottom line, I still don't know how to resolve this problem. Looking forward to what you can come up with.
I have same Server Error on my both Galaxy Note and Motorola Razr.I tried everything including Factory reset but still same issue.
It seems that google needs to setp in and fix this issue.

Mmm, I'm using WIFI in this country. I tried two different ISP (in the same country) and the problem is still there.
By the way, when I flashed to the ICS, changed the Sales Code from UAE to UK (using the numpad with the IMEI thing)... If I do it again, is not the same thing? for example from UK to Poland somewhere in Europe (since the ICS flash is Europe)...
Thanks dude...

Been having the 'Server Error - RETRY' issues for the past 2 days and even tried manually installing the latest play store 3.5.15 with no luck.
Changed to US - Verizon using Market Enabler and all was well, was able to launch Play Store and update my applications... well all expcept Root Explorer which was giving a download failed error, but i'm sure I'll get this going shortly.

If you said you 'flashed' to ICS... you may not be too far away from rooting.
Visit ChainFire's thread to find a suitable insecure kernel, i used CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip (post #8) and be sure to read the 1 line of instruction in post #1 - ODIN (short).

Changed to US - Verizon using Market Enabler and all was well, was able to launch Play Store and update my applications... well all expcept Root Explorer which was giving a download failed error, but i'm sure I'll get this going shortly.

If you said you 'flashed' to ICS... you may not be too far away from rooting.
Visit ChainFire's thread to find a suitable insecure kernel, i used CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip (post #8) and be sure to read the 1 line of instruction in post #1 - ODIN (short).

Guys, I had the same problem for 24 hours and believed me, I tried everything that has been suggested by this thread but it didn't do anything. Somehow I got everything up and running on its own. I truly believe it was a problem from the google side. So I guess, you just have to wait until they fix the server.
Cheers.
Glad that ME worked for u.
It seams that there is no Root Explorer app in US market... Not sure if its deleted from market.

Mmm, I'm using WIFI in this country. I tried two different ISP (in the same country) and the problem is still there.
By the way, when I flashed to the ICS, changed the Sales Code from UAE to UK (using the numpad with the IMEI thing)... If I do it again, is not the same thing? for example from UK to Poland somewhere in Europe (since the ICS flash is Europe)...

bojancincur You are a genius!!!.
I did the VPN thing and it worked!!!! Right now updating AndroZip File Manager XD
Thank you.
When I read your blog, I was going to connect to my company VPN through Juniper's Network connect and share the internet connection from my laptop to the SGSII.
How to know which market my phone is connecting to?
Is it, by deault, connecting to the country assigned in the Sales Code?
But stop working once you disconnect from the VPN. I think I will change the Sales Code once I get home (since it involves a data wipe)

I'm Also having the same issue where in South America, Guyana with several other friends. Unable to access Android Market/Play Store since sometime last week.

What rom do you have, are you rooted, what kernel are you using?

Go to phonebook, settings, contacts to be displayed and see what phonebooks are beeing displayed. At the bottom you`ll see altered list or something, select that and choose what you want to be displayed.

To be honest, i never heard of this issue, if the problem persists do a data factory reset (backup files to your pc first) in settings, backup and restore.
already done that and the same problem happens. and also i've done the backup and factory reset and still the same.
Well then i wouldn`t know, hope someone can help you
thank u
It could be your phone doesn't have mobile data activated to do sync.?
how can i fix that issue?

Here is a link for the SL I9003 forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1365.

Hi, I have a question about hiding the fact that I am using an emulator, not an actual android device when playing a game. I have tried Genymotion, Bluestacks (rooted), Droid4x, and Andy to install a game called "Iruna Online". However, since the latest update of the game, I haven't been able to open it on any emulators. When I try to open the application, it says "Not available on this device". I'm guessing the game is blocking PC users.
The first answer I found on the Internet was to change the build.prop file. After changing the values to that of a Nexus 7 (supported by the game), I still got the same error message (I cleared the cache and reinstalled). I even tried looking at the website "What is my Android version?", where it told me I had a Nexus 7.
Frustrated by this, I looked for more answers and ended up installing Xposed. I decided to try to hide my device information from Iruna so it wouldn't know I was on a PC. I opened the app again, and found another error message "No SD card is detected". So I went back and forth for about an hour, changing the Xposed permissions - I would either get the "not available on this device" or "no sd card is detected" error.
The only thing I can think of is that I'm editing the build.prop incorrectly (for some reason I can't find ro.product.manufacturer, is this normal?). Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
hi man i got the same problem tried many emulaters nothing works "not availble on this device" is all i get if u found a solution plz post it and good luck
Did you ever find a fix for this? Just encountered the problem now.
I would like to know top.
