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

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.

nope mine was running latest from rogers (Stock)
I've this rom on my P500. All is working except for the data enable function. I enabled it from the power control and also confirmed that it is on in the setting but can't use my data plan, the icon also did not pop out on the top right of the phone. Another issue is the rotate function is not working. Both of this are not highlighted as known bugs, so can anyone confirm this? I have tried to reflash the rom but same result.
Link to rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909242
Also can DT app2sd be used on this rom?thanks.
I haven't used data function but all the other stuff like rotate function and dt script is working fine.
Hi Thanks. I've already found out the data problem was due to APN not set yet, and the rotation actually work but not on the stock launcher while at mainscreen. Installing Launcher Pro solved that. Current issue is now with s2e, unable to move my apps to the ext3.
Hi everyone, I have a problem relating to decryption... I simultaneously attempted to decrypt my i9100T (4.0.3, root) and remove the stock keyboard app (I have Swiftkey, so removing the Samsung app seemed to make sense). However, for some unknown reason the decryption failed because I am still prompted for my decryption key at bootup. This is a problem because I no longer have the stock app to input the key and I can't select Swiftkey. Further, I did do a Titanium backup before rooting so I still have the stock app on the internal memory, but it's obviously of little use at this point...
Is there some way of making Swiftkey the 'real' default keyboard, or mounting the phone to a PC and inputting the key? Otherwise, I guess I could attempt a JB flash and get the new stock keyboard, the problem with this being that all the links I have found for T-variant modems on JB are broken. A 4.0.3 reflash seems so redundant...
Any help appreciated Cheers
Hello,
I have recently purchased a Galaxy S3 and have the following problem: everytime I open a program (via Link (Tapatalk) or from the contacts (SMS/WhatsApp))
I get the notification if I wish to open the same type Always or Just once with the respective program.
Everytime I choose "Always", the phone tells me that I can reset the default app settings in the Application menu, but it doesn't remember my choice,
so I have to redo this step again and again.
I installed several Original and Custom ROMS and Kernels, all with the same error. I always install a new ROM with full data/cache/dalvik wipe.
Anyone had the same problem or knows how to fix this?
Kind regards.

Hello, since few days it started to happen without any reason, i think. I didn't change anything since few weeks, nothing new installed, no messing around with settings. Using any file manager tapping on a file pop up appears with apps to choose as default, so I choose then if I try to open same file again pop up appears again like I never set it up before.
Yesterday, I did a clean flash and intalled all I have from scratch. My tablet was in a factory state but the problem persists. But today at 6:00 AM something came to my mind: it could start happening since... I change app to mount external 1TB NTFS hard drive. I was using Paragon before, now it is MLUSB mounter and ... FILE MANAGER!!! This was the problem and it was blocking every changes. After uninstalling I opened Total Commander and all lastly opened files have icons of associated apps with them. I knew it will work and it is. At least I have fresh system, now.
