[Q] How do I root my Sk17 Again? Please :P - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hello everybody, I just Updated my Sk17a to 2.3.4, it was in 2.3.3, but after a bad modding the phone died, so i had to fix it using SEUS and Seus fixed it and also Updated it to 2.3.4, that is fine, but before the update the phone was rooted, and after the update with seus the phone still having the "Superuser" icon in the app list, but if I try to use an app that requires the Superuser (Root) It says that my phone is unrooted, so should I Root it again like normaly? or the "superuser" icon in the app list will cause conflict? please answer, I dont want that my phone die again D:
PS: When the phone died was because I installed a "Framework.jad" modded, but after the reboot it didnt booted anymore, it just was doing reboot loops before the SE logo

See it was due to some modification you made
ok refer this to root your XMP,and the Superuser is the one you previously installed,it won't cause any troubles to you so you can skip rooting and keep unrooted phone.
But as you have rooted phone before so i will recommend you to root your phone and enjoy rooted features

Cant install apps anymore after root

Hi
After rooting to r2ba026 last night, everything went well unti i discovered today that all the apps i downloaded cannot be installed anymore. It says "..... could not be installed on this phone". I have the latest busybox installed on the market. I can install apps easily from the market. Please HELP! I dont want to redo the rooting anymore
In settings then applications, is your 'unknown sources' option checked?
Sent from my rooted 026 x10i using swype via xda!!
Yes, that option is checked. I thought Il solve it by rooting again, but after about an hour after root, the problem comes back. I use to file "full r2ba026 from any rom" something like that, then apply the fix.

I think the culprit is Titanium Backup. I manually install my apps after rooting and the problem was solved.
Hmm.. odd! I don't have that issue but I gues you could try it!
Sent from my rooted 026 x10i using swype via xda!!
Maybe one of my backup app f*ck my system. I just installed all of it manually and the problem never came back
well I rooted again last night but the prob is back this morning. Manually installing everything and all settings is gonna be a severe pain. Is there an alternative to titanium if its that which is causing this?

Rooting unsuccesful?

Usually, i use z4root to root my x10. Its very easy and fast
But since yesterday, I messed up my phone and all those apps gone in the menu, but the memory is still there
So i decided to restore with SEUS
i updated to a newer software
after that, z4root no longer working
SuperOneClick v1.5.5 also not working as well
Can anybody tell me any solution or ways to root the phone?
Thanks

You've updated to a new ROM which, until now, is unrootable. However, you can flash the previous ROM, re-root it and then flash zdzihu's pre-rooted ROM along with JiT.

[Q] Cannot install xrecovery after rooting phone in order to use custom mods

So I've been reading forum after forum and can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong and decided to do a post.
I have a X10a and recently rooted it with the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
Everything seemed to work fine and now I have the superuser.apk as well as the ADW launcher on my phone.
I've been trying to install xrecovery so that I can load some custom roms onto my phone and have tried both the manual method and using the .apk installer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
I have had no luck doing so.
I can sideload apps fine (so I guess I have superuser permission?) but my phone won't allow me to install xrecovery. Busybox also says my phone is not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've spend a couple hours every day this week working on this and searching forums and can't seem to come up with a solution. Thanks!
Hey, I had a few problems with getting xrecovery to install as well. Are you 100% sure you rooted ur x10 correctly, given that busybox says its not rooted? I used z4root to root my x10. If you used a different app to root ur X10, try this one instead. It tells you on the front screen whether ur phone is rooted or not. If it isn't rooted, try rooting it with this app. I can't post links unfortunately but you can find it easily with a google search. If not, I'd be more than happy to help you with this outside of the forum on the likes of a messenger program. Just drop me a PM if you're okay to do this.
Please explain what is going on better than I can't install. I can probably help, if I know your situation.

you must be rooted, have busybox and superuser permissons.
Everytime I try to install it using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
which I'm assuming is the latest, I get the error message that I can't install this app on my phone (the same standard error message that you would get by trying to sideload an app before you rooted your phone). Busybox also won't install and says my phone isn't rooted. I've downloaded a few other apps that require root for functionality and I get the same error with all of them.
I do have the superuser .apk on my phone so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've re-flashed the phone three times now to try and root it and every time it seems to work, but the end product is a phone that still won't let me install third party apps.
I have the x10a in the states and don't have access to the official 2.1 update yet so I can't use any of the one click rooting methods out there. I did find this though and might try it tonight (not sure if it will work though, or if I can even utilize it). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
If I need to explain more, I will do my best. Thanks for your help!
same
Hi all,
Same issue here except that busybox is installed.
I've tried to install manually but pressing back while booting doesn't do anything but regular boot.
Help would be appreciated
install busybox from the market
Also, I can't use Z4 or anything similar as I don't have the official 2.1 update. Sony hasn't rolled it out in the states yet and considering that the end of life for the phone with AT&T is fast approaching (March or something now) I'm doubtful that they will.
So I found some other apps that allow you to check for Root Access. According to all the evidence I've collected (inability to sideload, busybox won't install, multiple root checker apps say my phone is NOT rooted) my phone wasn't rooted correctly.
I've gone through the guide to root x10a's with 1.6 3 times though and have the superuser .apk on my phone. Hope this additional information helps
Just to be precise... I've got root (titanium, copy to system works) busybox from market but it always says can't install on that phone. Tried manual installation without success. Tried gscript way but no luck.

Solved for me !!!
I finally managed to install xRecovery and Custom ROM using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Thx rendeiro2005 and all the other
Everything goes fine with "easy way" procedure.
Then installed busybox from market plus installed xRecovery.
To access it press power button and then I use to clic several time back key until I can see the recovery menus.
I think my issue was because the previous root method I used gave me a 1.6 android system and therefore xRecovery installer may not work with it.
Thanks all.
hello rooted android 2.1
Never mind I got it working. Wasn't aware there were better flash tools out there and I found one that worked for me. Thanks to everyone who tried to help
the new Flashtool version 0.2.6 works pretty well
its does the rooting, and can help to install busybox, xrecovery.
Yes Flashtool can provide "all-in-one" tool.
Flash, root, clean junk files, install apk files in just one click, install xRecovery, etc, etc, etc...
DON´T install busybox if you have xrecovery installed!!!
xrecovery
Hi everyone. I am at my wits end. I have followed everything to the letter to install xRecovery and it is not working. I have superuser working my phone is rooted and busybox is installed (root check says it is working) but the first time i tried the three apps in xRecovery were not all ticked. busy box had a cross saying something along the lines of no such directory. I reflashed my phone and went through the whole thing again and now i have red crosses on all three saying permission denied. I have gone into root explorer and everything is R/W however if i acces the three files on sdcard/data/com.zoz etc and go to permissions to turn them all on it says some file systems eg sdcards do not allow permission changes. I dont know if i need to do this but its the last thing i can think of. HELP!!!
I usualy root my phone through flashtool, its just a one click, be sure to enable the bugging and and click root. Make sure if superuser appears on ur phone, that u allow it 2!
Edit: Just read that uve successfully rooted ur phone. Did you try to install recovery through flashtool?
To make sure uve rooted ur phone, enter flashtool (enable debbugging first), click on Ask Root Perms, if ur phone IS rooted it will say so. Click on xRecovery (in flashtool ofcourse), and u will have it installed

[Q] Root neo with 2.3.4. and unlocked bootloader

Hi, here is my story.
I bought a Neo network free and I made update OTA from 2.3.3. at 2.3.4 and I got a brick Neo after this. To unbrick it, a friend flashed a new 2.3.3 ftf and after I used the X10 flash tool to repair the loader. After this I rooted with DooMLord_v4_ROOT. All good so far.
After this I got the message that is available a new update. To not repeat again the story I made the update with SE software update trought PC.
Now I have 2.3.4. on my Neo, in the applications menu I have Superuser and done the update, but my phone is not rooted. If I try to install any app what need root permisions I get the message that my phone is not rooted. I had installed AD free app before update to 2.3.4., now is there but is not running. Same the Auto app 2 SD (need root permisions).
I tried SuperOneClick v2.3.3, again DooMLord_v4_ROOT, Gingerbreak and all failed to root my phone.
How can I root my Neo without downgrade the FW and upgrade again?
Thanks.
please use search function and post your questions in an existing thread. Thanks

The 0.62 can not be routed thereby advise you to replace the kernel by kernel 3.0 Rage, you will root perfectly, you can find it here in the area of ​​development.
Wrong thread friend.
This is for general forum

Delete this thread problem solved when connect the usb to phone and pc.
