Downloading right now update for xperia mini, I was not aware it was going to be released today, hope its goods anyways, keep you posted when it finishes
Heh really what version would this be? Hows the progress?
Sent using x10 mini pro
50% this are the times I wish I had a 2gigabit connection :/
done
Software version: 2.1-update1
dont know whats new, no intro as past update was shown on startup...
ahh.. phone unrooted, z4root not working stuck on running exploit screen.
How did you update?
Through wireless or through cable with a pc software like the pc companion?
Did the phone tell about the update when you searched for update?
Please I need to know!
pc companion... software on pc alerted of the update when I conected the phone, tried to search for an update from the phone but it told me it was up to date.
got to see about the availability of an update when I connected my mini to my PC and the PC Companion opened up.Went for the update that took such a long time to complete.I see virtually nothing new or beneficial in the few hours gone by.Oh-I lost the ability to root the phone,Z4 doesn't work anymore.
Didn't find any update not even with pc companion
:-/
same here .. there was no prompt when i plugged in the mini pro.
when i opened PC Companion, it says that I already up the latest update.
I'm usually pretty quick on the updates but this one looks like one to avoid until we can sort out the root issue..
I noticed they already have a solution for the Big X10 by installing a pre Rooted version of the update with xRecovery.. any solution like this available for the mini/pro yet?
All in good time I guess.. someone is probably making a Pre rooted, pre JIT'ed pre Gingerbread themed xRecovery zip file with the new firmware as I type this
fingers crossed..
I'm sorry....
Your stock album is now fast?
Because the first 2.1 stock album is very slow.....
I think that you can't extract for us... But....
Me too updated my mini and now unable to root. How to get back to previous one?
I could be mistaken, but i think x10flasher root method still works.
Downloaded 2.1-update1 (as it says on my phone) on the 24th, almost certain its the unrootable version u guys seem to be talking about, as z4root which worked for my 1.6, couldnt unroot this version(i also thought it was root patched)
Long story short, was messing around with it, tried the X10flasher 2.1 root method, hey presto rooted phone. So give it a shot, wont hurt, and if im right, still a viable root method for 2.1.

It just looks like the Big X10flash GUI's "Root" option just installs Z4root onto the phone in which case it should be no different from just trying to use Z4root to root without the Flashtool... unless Bin4ry just has a different version of Z4root that works on the new firmware? (easy enough for someone having issues rooting with the new update to download his Flash tool and grab the Z4root version he uses out of it to try.. I don't hold high hopes tho, you can always use his flashtool to flash back to the old 2.1 and not update with SE until the root issue is sorted)
(also, I haven't updated my phone in weeks and it say's its running "2.1-update 1" so its possible you are still on the older rootable version, and it was just the version of Z4root you were using wasn't compatible with 2.1, lest hope I am wrong tho cause it would be great if this works!! )
Got the update. It killed my root and apparently my market? Any attempts to start Market crash immediately.
The new 2.1 update 1 is ver. 2.0.2.A.0.24
This is the one i got 24dec. in denmark, and this one wont root with z4root.
Still waithing for this to be fixed
is there any way to root it again?
I need some serious help. Ive been trying for days to get my phone re rooted again but nothing is working I have tried everything but nothing.
I upgraded my phone to 2.1
then i flashed the Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware and that was fine
then i flashed SW_Ging_Rom_V0.3 and then was fine
but i then i updated software from PcCompanion
and for the last 3 days i cannot root
I have tried every method and nothing and im getting frustrated.
Methods i have done
exploid got to rootshell, permission denied switched to superoneclick just looping
installed z4root (doesnt root)
Used superone click after looping used method to stop looping not working
tried to downgrade, flash not finding device
Done a factory reset. tried all methods nothing
cannot install recovery because i need to root. cannot change permissions because i need root cannot do anything because i need root.
Can anyone please help me.
try looking here, its probably the same thing.

My phone told me that it had an update today but i didn't bother updating.
Ok! Hi again folks. Today i was trying to root my wifes new lg506go(Optimus) and got a bit surprised with how the phone would respond to that. At first i thought it was going to be pretty simple using z4 root method. But it didnt work at all, tried a few times by the way. Then i decided to give it a go to superoneclick method but never made it either. Tried UniversalAndroot also just to make shure and it didnt work also. Downloaded Optimusroot.zip and tried the ADB method and every command was accepted but then when i enter the command rageagainstthecage it didnt work also. Some files are missing. It has superuser already installed but cant gain complete root acces. Oh, by the way tried gingerbreak also with no succes. Rom manager is installed but i cant flash the recovery because it doesnt have complete permissons. Can someone give me a different idea or am i just an unlucky guy? Thanks in advance!
Nevermind folks! I was using an older gingerbreak version than 1.2 and it was downloaded from a different website. Just downloaded gingerbreak 1.2 from here and the phone was rooted!
hey guys, im using:

root guide to try and root my x10 2.3.3.
i followed the instructions to the letter. but at steps 8/9, they never seem to work. i never seem to be able to get a response in flashtool. and before you ask, yes i have enabled debugging and unknown sources. i have tried everything, this root will not work. i got the root working on 2.1 but the instruction video from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8Jfx...feature=relmfu (originally on xda-dev) and it worked on 2.1, then updated official, and it wont work. whenever i reboot the device and plug in the cable, it never works. i dont know what more to do. do i just go back to 2.1 and putting a rom on? thanks
I know. Just try again. I never rooted in first go. Start from step1 again.
thanks, tried about 30 times now. will keep going.

Make sure you have closed all other adb programs like pccompanion and SEUS as they will interfere with flashtool.
Or here is another easy method.
Update to latest 2.3.3 official rom via pccompanion.
Download and install latest flashtool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Attach phone.
wait for flashtool to recognise phone.
click the root button (The padlock) Follow instruction.
When finished, start again but this time click the key, then the grey square with the cross in it
this will root then install xrecovery for you
thanks mr. bradley, i will try this when i get home later.
Hi folks,
Ive been having a strange problem with a couple Galaxy Mega I9200. I have rooted both before without any problems using KINGO originally. The i decided to update both of them with version UBUCNA2. When i tried to re root them back, even though the process have run fine a couple times the phone is not rooting. At this point i dont know what else to do to try to root those phones. I have tried every single method around this forum i think not just KINGO this time. And have not been able to reach root the way it should. Titanium backup shows not able to aquire root priviledges, and other root apps also. Can someone please help me on this?? Keep in mind im not a newbie so dont give me the recovery method advice without something new or to use KINGO because ive have done that already. Thanks a lot guys
You upgraded your phones to the latest knox enabled firmware which has the knox bootloader. You cannot go back to an older firmware or flash a custom rom now.
To root, try the directions provided in this thread and use the melius3gxx files instead of meliusltexx.

Ok thanks, the phones already had the knox apk so my guess was that it was going to be the same thing. Thanks for clarifying that one. And thanks for the advice.
Thanks again, turns out the only thing that is failling root access is when i try to unlock the phone via box. For some reason when its checking for SU access it fails. But thanks anyway i managed to solve the Root problem.
root.
I rooted through Phill touch Recovery.
