I am trying to root my xperia x10 mini pro using z4root. It completes the process and returns to the app drawer(It doesn't say anything, successful or not). However when I try to install busybox it says ı don't have root access. Why does it do this? Any other methof to have root and CWM access.
I am using a guide I found here. It says first install z4root and root the phone and then install busybox ( then fileman etc.) however I cannot root it with that application.
Version 2.1.1a.0.6
Z4root doesn't work on the Pro anymore. Have a look in the Development section, there are plenty of tools that will do this for you.

My x10 mini is running Android 2.1, Build number is 2.0.1.A..0.47
I can't root the phone with z4root and superoneclick.
I need someone to help me please!!
re: help
what happens exactly?
Do a repair using SEUS and then use z4root. Very easy - can't go wrong.
1. Put the z4root file on the SD-card
2. Download Astro file manager (free version from android market) and install it.
3. Use Astro to locate z4root on your SD-card and install it
4. Open z4root
5. Choose root phone
6. Wait until the phone reboots
Finished!
I did it already, and I tried a lot of ways. Still not works.
Thx
Which version do you use of z4root? 1.2? 1.3? and can you tell me what happens when you try to root, with z4root.
I ask because I and lots of other user have no problem with the z4root, I only seen one user that had to wait for around 10 min before the phone restarted. But after that was the phone rooted.

This build is the same as x8's build and we can't seem to root it either.
One thing that you can do is revert to .504 build and use that

Please try this version 1.3 of z4root it should work for you (atleast do many reports says it will work for your firmware).
Better to try and fail, then never try at all
Unfortunately it doesnt work with this build.
Thanks for trying it! I will add a notice that it dont work on your firmware in my thread.

There is NO need for any ADB commands! you only need the z4root file and to download the ASTRO file manager (free version) from Android market. And then are you ready to start to root!
Just remember to put the z4root file on your SD-card.
hi there,
i have some frustrating problems with my x10 mini pro and custom roms loaded from here (like gingerdx v15 and minicm7 pro v16).
first of all, i cleaned my phone with fresh firmware 2.1.1 from SE.
wiped user data and loaded custom rom. so far everything ok
BUT when i install apps like root explorer or navigon, these apps wont work. crashes right after i start them.
i am about to go back to stock 2.1.1 cause of that
Check that your phone is rooted correctly with superoneclick tool or flashtool, programs that require root access may crash otherwise.

superoneclick says my phone is already rootet
don't think its the root access, because navigon doesn't need root

hi. well first I tried to root this phone using a chinesse program called Romaster, but the instructions that i found on some sites were different when I used that program, so surely I made some mistakes. After that I tested if it was rooted, then I installed an app called root checker, but it says "sorry your phone has no proper root...", but when I open an app called cpu z it says "root access yes", anyway i tested other apps to verify this phone was rooted, but they say the phone is not rooted. Finally I tried the app framaroot, the installation is ok, but root checker still says "phone has no proper root".
What should i do?

After using framaroot correctly, your phone should have SuperSU installed; just browse through you apps.
Another way of checking if your phone is really rooted is installing an app that request superuser access, like Titanum Backup.
If you keep having problems you should probably restore your phone flashing a rom in recovery mode.
Hi all,

Use the easy root toolkit (found in the cross device development section). It works perfectly for me.

easy root kit didn't work for me ...
to correctly root with towelroot u got to have flashtool installed then u could root with it by pressing on devices icon on top left and choose root then select (root with towelroot)..
it will install towelroot automatically and then follow the instructions on ur pc screen....
if its rooted successfully then ur device will reboot and u will find supersu installed
So I have a Starmobile Quest which is a local smartphone and I rooted it using a chinese rooting program called iroot, formerly vroot, as suggested by people using the same phone. At first the superuser app(which is a Chinese one) is working fine and I could use apps requiring root access but suddenly, something happened and now it won't give root access to any of the apps. I think, maybe root was somehow removed, and downloaded the root checker app and when I ran it, it told me that I wasn't rooted.
So I unrooted my phone using iroot and it was successful and again rooted it which was again successful. I go and run root checker again and I was surprised to see that I wasn't rooted. From there I repeated the unrooting and rooting process several times and still nothing. What I did notice was that whenever iroot was checking whether my phone was rooted, a pop up would appear on my phone which is from the superuser app asking for permission to give "shell" root access and I would always say yes.
I believe that my phone is actually rooted but the superuser app isn't promting me for root access whenever I use apps that require root, plus there is no log saved except for the "shell" one. I tried changing root access manager app to supersu and when I run it it tells me that it needs to update su binary. I click yes and use the normal method(I don't have cwm) and it tells me it's installing but after awhile I receive an error saying "installation failed. try rebooting.". I reboot my phone and try updating again and it still fails.
I tried everything the internet threw at me, reroot, factory reset, clear data, clear cache, etc and nothing's working. Can someone help me here?
Note: I can't find a stock/custom rom for my device. So flashing roms isn't an option for me.
Bump.

Do you need a custom recovery for that? Because the model of the phone doesn't have a custom recovery yet.
Also, I tried to install supersu from the play store and it didn't work.

Damn it. I guess I'll have to wait till they make a stock rom which I think isn't gonna happen since it's been half a year since the phone is released and there hasn't been any development.
Last question, Is it possible to flash your phone using a computer?

Yes absolutely. Just note that there are no rooting apps on the Play Store. Simply downloading SuperSU or Superuser will NOT root your phone. You need to be rooted first, and if the SuperSU or Superuser app isn't automatically installed, then once you root you can install SuperSU or Superuser to manage apps that require root.
Popular methods of rooting include z4root, framaroot, MTKTools and iroot (or vroot)
Z4root and framaroot are both android applications which you will need to get from their sites or XDA (just run a search). MTKtools and iroot/vroot are computer applications and use ADB. MTKTools can also create a custom recovery for your device, though I don't remember the process too well.
Once you're rooted you will either have your Superuser app installed or you'll have to install it yourself (I personally prefer SuperSU). I also recommend installing busybox as well.
Hope that helps.

So how do I do that?
Hello my buddy so I 've read your thread, there are many apps to do root like root master, framaroot, towel root, towelpieroot. And the way to install super su is doing again the root. And after to install it again.
These apps to do root.

So MTKTools can be found scattered all over XDA, and Framaroot has a dedicated thread (which I cannot link right now as I am on my phone). If memory serves, Jellybean and below had Dev options enabled by default. If not, go to settings -> About Device and tap on the build number several times until your dev options are enabled. Then simply enable USB debugging. When you plug in your device you may need to authenticate your PC to use the Debug bridge. Just hit accept. (I'm sure that you were aware of how to enable ADB but I felt I had to explain anyway)
I assume you have the ADB drivers for your device, but if not, there is a naked USB driver installer floating around XDA (I really would only trust XDA with stuff like this)
With ADB enabled you can use the iroot and MTKTools PC applications. Both are generally straightforward but don't hesitate to ask me if you have a question.
With the APK apps you can get from XDA and abroad, you can root the device somewhat easily.
Framaroot (last time I used it) has four options for rooting (latest version is 1.9.3) you will see all info you need on that thread.
Z4 root I do not recommend. It is somewhat outdated now, though you might want to try it as a last resort
Towelroot is fairly simple as well. Simply download and run the app and you'll either get root or you won't.
My personal recommendations are MTKTools for a pc toolkit (seeing as it can compile a custom recovery too, which it did for my Lenovo S6000)
For apk rooting, I suggest Framaroot. I've never had any problems with it thus far.
I hope that explained it enough but if not, don't hesitate to ask questions. After all, you never learn if you don't ask ^-^
Nevermind guys. I downloaded a bunch of rooting programs and tried them. Root Genius worked and now I have root access. Thanks for replying to this thread.
ReInstall SuperSU and check with Android Terminal Emulator.
Ok dudes just i share this thread, cuz i like to help other dudes that they are juniors or they're beginning .
