hello guys i wana root my phone but i dont know which 1 to root with .
1- with the 5 step rooting or with 1 click on your phone rooting ? does it gives u the same root i mean will both ways ur phone will be rooted? and im on FW 20 and how would i get FW 26?do i have to root first or update to fw 26 1st ?. i wana know if some1 with x10a has tried it ? and i already debrand my phone rooting is next so please help me.
hey
i have an xperia x10A from rogers in canada. i had updated it using SEUS and then rooted it to the FW 23 rom. anyways the new easy method came out and i decided to root to the FW 26. it was very simple, just go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7490733#post7490733
and download the megaupload rar file that is headed as
Exploid Root for X10a (contains Generic R2BA026 X10a) (it is the first download in that post)
once u have that downloaded, unrar it into a folder and read the text file named IMPORTANT.txt
the instructions are pretty clear from that point, and when ur ready to run the 'RootX10a_v2.cmd' file, just right click it and run it as administrator. follow the instructions and u should have it rooted to the latest 26 rom.
NOTE that all ur stuff will be lost in this transition so back up whtever u can before u do it.
good luck hope i helped!

I have tried several of the root methods, all works, but this is the easiest one !
You dont have to worry about your phones device ID, java or anything else, just smile !
And to give a comment to the previous post, reflashing removes all your installed applications, but does not remove anything from your sdcard or SIM-card.
I recommend updating to 026 with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) and then root with the above method.

Hi I bought a Lg P500 a month back,details are:
Android Version:2.2.1
Kernel Version:2.6.32.9
Build Number:FRG83
Software Version:V10c DEC-08-2010.
When i checked through Lg update notification it said a new version 10d is avaialble.
Q1)What is the difference between v10 c and v10 d ??
Q2)suppose if i upgraded my phone to 10d,if i didnt like the update can i revert back to old version??
I am using APP2SD and moved all apps to mem card.
As my phone has 40 pre-apps which stored in internal memory ,My phone has hardly 19-20 mb free internal memory..So it is very difficult to manage .
Q3)Can anybody please suggest how to remove Preinstalled apps which i dont want??
I am afraid to install custom roms mentioned in the other posts as the phone is only 1 month old .
Q3)Does Warranty still exists if i do any custom rom like cynogen or unofficial ginger bread update etc?
Please suggest some tips to improve Performance of my Phone .
Many Many Advance thanks for replying ..

Hi and welcome!
I'll try to reply to your questions in the same style
Q1: There is small difference between V10c and V10D. In my opinion, it is not wise to update original fw until the official 2.3 arrives. If you upgrade from 2.2 to 2.2.2 you'll loose the ability to root your phone.
Q2: You can always downgrade your device using KDZ. If you need more info on this one, follow this thread. Just make sure to read carefully and try to understand the risk that implies flashing with KDZ. If you pass this ones, you'll be upgrading and downgrading in no-time.
Q3: You can remove pre-installed apps only if you root your phone, and use an root un-installer, or by flashing a different rom with no pre-installed apps.
To do this, you have to have Android 2.2 on your device (not 2.2.2), and use a tool like SuperOneClick Root or Z4Root. Again, you should be careful and read every warning.
To get the most from your phone, check out the threads on XDA forum regarding Optimus One Android Development or Optimus One General. There are a lot of things to do, with a lot of details and tutorials, just follow carefully.
I hope this helps you.
Cheers mate!

thanks for your kind advice .. I have tried to root using z4 root but it didn't rooted my phone instead my phone was lil bit slow after installation then i have upgraded to V10D through original firmware which shown in my pc suite .
It have tried to open the following link
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500
but it seems the link is not working.
So ..I m thinking better to wait for one more month for LG till it releases 2.3 ..
Man, you'll have to wait more than one month for 2.3... :|
About the link you cannot open, i guess it is broken, it doesn't work for me either. But you must be able to find the fw you need for your country by searching for it on google. I found mine on other forum, and it works perfect. Just google "lg optimus one <<your country>> rom" (no quotes) and you shall find it. Be sure to get the *.kdz file, not *.dz, they need some other application for flashing, and it is more complicated.
About rooting with z4root, you need to downgrade to v10C or below (maybe v10D works too, i haven't tried) and then use z4root. Make sure you have debugging checked in applications before using z4root.
If you want to root v10D or newer (but up to android 2.2.1) you should be able to do it using OneClick method, it is easy enough, though you need the drivers installed on your pc, as you will connect the device via usb.
Tell me where are you from, maybe i can get you the original fw, at least i can help finding
Cheers!

Is it possible to downgrade from ICS back to V8.8.3.33(US) so I can save the root with the OTA root save before upgrading back to ICS? Before anybody chimes in, I know on the ASUS download page it says no. Curious if anybody has tried it or not. I was so excited that ICS arrived last night I forgot to save the root before updating.
yes it is possible
you have to download the update from the asus support site and extract it to sd card
there is a thread about this in the development section
Search feature is your friend!

So I just opened my Prime that I got from HHGregg and needed to root it. I need to have anyconnect working for my work VPN so root is absolutely necessary.
I have been looking through the development forum and the Q&A forums and cant find a place where simple instructions are available.
To make it short, if I want to root:
Is it better to root HC with Nacho and then manually update to ICS 4.0.3?
Or manually update to 4.0.3 then root with Sparky?
Anyone have instructions on how to manually update to ICS? I have found instructions which require me to download the ICS zip file, place it on the Prime internal memory and then have the prime check for an update...is this correct?
If I do this, will it find the file that I place there manually or will it automatically delete it and try to download and install the new 9.4.2.11 update which is not rootable?
Thanks for any help!

And update via ota. Manual way caused problems even with root keeper.
Dev section has great reasources
I think there is a video tut there have you read through the posts on rooting

updating to ICS on my rooted Sony Tablet S?[/QUOTE]
There is nno problem in updating ics on ur rootedd tablet but If you update your tablet to the officisl ics then there are chances tht you will lose your root
There is no way to root official ics
If you install custom pre rooted ics from condi aio tool then u have root for your tablet
Hope this clears your doubt
samyukta88.
thank you for the advice. can you recommend a rooted ICS rom i can use?
I imagine ICS shall be rooted soon?
