My bootloader is locked and i recently had my phone rooted with CWM on .42, having installed with SE tweak installer. But i have updated to the newest firmware and either the SE tweak installer is not working for ICS, or i can't boot into recovery. I have spammed every key on the boot but it boots normally, so i think the tweak installer failed; Here is the log ---
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/*
rm failed for /data/local/tmp/*, No such file or directory
adb push "data/install_cwm" /data/local/tmp/install_cwm
adb push "data/recovery.tar" /data/local/tmp/recovery.tar
adb push "data/chargemon_alter" /data/local/tmp/chargemon
adb push "data/sh" /data/local/tmp/sh
adb push "data/charger" /data/local/tmp/charger
adb shell "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/install_cwm"
adb shell "su -c '/data/local/tmp/install_cwm'"
/system/bin/sh: su: not found
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/*

There is also a root method for ics which i have tried with no luck... I think its Rootv5.
Can anyone help me get these on my phone. It is completly stock generic Europe
These tweaks are only for Gingerbread for now.

As the froyo upgrades are rolling out now, you'll find that universal androot doesn't work.
If you are using windows, then its very easy to root the new builds using superoneclick.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
you can do it with linux but its quicker to do it manually.
I'll post instructions later for that.. see post #3
I'll also update with some tweaks that help with battery life and speed
Thanks for this Mate
here's how to root the froyo streak builds manually.. so useful to linux / mac users and anyone who doesn't want to use the superoneclick
Code:
GET ECLAIR/FROYO version of Superuser.apk and su
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 extract the two files to the directory you're working from..
GET rageagainstthecage from
http://stealth.openwall.net/xSports/RageAgainstTheCage.tgz
extract the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin to the same directory you're working from
open a terminal/command line
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
adb shell chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
./rageagainstthecage
******this will kill adb server but manually kill it anyway and restart it ******
adb kill-server
adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
**********Follow the following steps to install Superuser.apk, busybox,su ****************
cd /data/local/tmp
./busybox cp busybox /system/bin/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
busybox cp Superuser.apk /system/app/
busybox cp su /system/bin/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
exit
exit
then reboot streak
************to remount filesystem as readonly,*************
adb shell
# su
su
#mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
# exit
exit
This is supposed to be a helpful thread to help people who want a simple easy way of rooting the froyo releases.
Not a discussion on why you cant find something
Orionbg I have no idea whether that one works as the two ways I've suggested do work..
Lets keep it simple, think about those who really struggle rather than confusing them with more info than needed ;-)
Lufc can you lock it and add it to the stickies so as not to let it spiral away.
I'd rather keep it clear and easy for people to follow...
Hello everyone!
I have a bootloader locked Mini. When i try to install CWM using Extreme_Tweak_installer 1.8, i get this log:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/*

---Installing ClockWorkMod....
---Mount RW system

---Install Done ! Please restart your phone and press continuously the volume down button to enter CWM.
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/*
After reboot, i tap the wolume down button continuously as soon as is see the SE logo, but i only get a hard freeze. Nothing helps but taking out the battery.
A cannot manage to enter recovery. The script seems to copy the neccessary files to the phone, i can find them in the /system directory
I thought the problem is my locked BL, but i spoke with many people, who managed to install CWN with the tool to a Mini wwith closed BL.
Anione can give me ome advice?
Yo mate,i have locked bootloader too and i install it and using it with no problems.Are u rooted?
Yes, i am properly rooted.
Hi guys, I'm working on a toolkit for the optimus me (p350), more exactly on the rooting part, but I've got a problem, I can't find a tutorial of how to do a manual root using adb shell with the gingerbreak exploit.
Can anyone help me? Thanks
I think you'd do something like the following commands:
Code:
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp/
./GingerBreak
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin
adb push su /system/xbin
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
exit
adb install Superuser.apk
You might want to also push busybox I guess.
Use doomlord's root method.
Just open the runme.bat(i think this is the name), and you'll see which commands use.
I've used as base to manually root Ideos X5 a lot of times.
Thanks
Thanks both, i have already try the second solution, but it isn't compatible with my phone. I will try the fist method.
Thanks guys.

I know there has been a lot of tutorials how to root the Xperia X10 mini. But almost a lot of them don't work (for me). But there is one way to root it.
It is very simple, you need to follow the instructions, then it will be easy.
1.) We need to download Android SDK, link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2.) We need to download SuperOneClick.rar, link: http://shortfuse.org/
3.) Unzip the SuperOneClick .zip and pull out the su-v3, busybox, Superuser.apk, psneuter, and GingerBreak files, and rename the su-v3 into su, and place all the files in adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219/sdk/platform-tools. I recommend changing the "adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219" to something simple like "Android SDK".
4.) Now, you have to use CMD, open it, and type the location of your files, type like this, cd C:/Users/Me/Desktop/Android SDK/sdk/platform-tools.
5.) Now plug in your phone, and make sure your debugging and unknown sources are on.
6.) Now write all the following commands, one at a time!
adb devices
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 777 psneuter
$ ./psneuter
adb kill-server
adb devices
adb shell
# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
# exit
adb push busybox /system/bin
adb push su /system/bin
adb install Superuser.apk
adb shell
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
# exit
adb reboot
And now u are all done! Your phone will reboot, then download Root Checker, and check if you are rooted.
If you write "adb shell" and you don't get "#" in the ending (not the beginning) but "$" then you have done something wrong, check everything that I wrote. If u have some problems, don't be shy to tell me.
Thanks a bunch, this tutorial was the only one that worked for me. What's more, I saw the procedure step-by-step so I saw exactly what was going on.
