There are no differences except that you can use applications that require root. That is all, it only installs one extra command called "su" which enables you to run apps as root.

Download & install flashtool here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
Download a generic 2.3 build here (& put it in the firmware folder): http://www.multiupload.com/JEXUAHAZTL
Open flashtool, click on the flash icon , choose flashmode, select firmware & flash
Post number 2 is the correct device, apart from you will also need to
0. Make sure unknown sources and usb debugging are allowed in
/settings/applications
and
/settings/application/development
1. click on the padlock icon to root.
2. click on the key icon to ask root permissions, allow permissions on the phone.
3. then flash the rom.
thnx but 1 question....!
Thanx guys..
I hv No doubt in that U ppl Rocks..
But is it a proper way , i mean i hv Phone which is Unlocked..

What do you mean by "proper way"? Is it an official way to do it? No. Flashtool method is essentially another pc companion. It does everything pc companion can do and more. The only reason you have/need pc companion is to recognize the phone. That is it. The only problem you will have is a chronic headache from all the lag the stock 2.3.3 FW gives. Remedy that by rooting and installing a custom/complete ROM.
Rooting the X10 device is not necessary, but I highly recommend you do buddy. The X10 stock and when stands alone is a terrible device. but when rooted and applied with a custom ROM, the X10 lives up to many other devices that shouldn't be compared to. Technically, Rooting is not an upgrade. But if we look at the benefits of rooting, well thats a completely different story.
If you have any questions just ask. If I helped, Thanks button is always there bud
This is also my problem. I cant update my x10 to gingerbread. What generic 2.3 build shoud i download? and what is that complete rom?
Better Install a Custom ROM.. eaiser.. Faster.. loads of options
try MIUI... my personal Fav.. or u can use the Team Rom transparent.

Here my step to root my mini pro SK17i, boot loader still same as when it buy..
When I bought it the phone is 2.3.4/4.0.2.A.0.62 and try out many ways from XDA. Yes it rooted but when I update firmware from OTA or pc... my phone back to early state that root are gone...
So I tried out many ways and found this one, try over 3 times to make sure and decide to post this guide.
A.prepare...
1.flashtool 0.7 from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
2.fw 4.0.2.A.0.58 .ftf you can find from xda or place..(its not hard to find)
3.root v1.5 without unlock boot loader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346198
...
step 1.
open flashtool then select flash ==> flash mode ==> select fw 4.0.2.A.0.58..
then check only exclude TA / FOTA / Baseband (only 3 choices) the others must not check..
then select [ok] to continue and wait for connect the SK17i
step 2.
Push your phone in to flash mode by....Turn off your phone..
Then press and hold [volume down] while you plug PC-USB, if you never install driver of flash mode the PC will install it...[please choose continue(ignore) to install, even no matter what happen]
step 3.
waiting around 5-6 minutes... untill all message said all finished..==> then disconnect the phone..
step 4.
turn on your phone..==> then set display to maximum timeout / and set develop USB debug...
step 5.
open (root v1.5) to root the phone
after phone restart....
Your phone SK17i are rooted ready and fw is 4.0.2.A.0.58..
then Backup every things while you are root user...
step 6.
OTA to 4.0.2.A.0.62 back by wifi only, don't choose other else..
Done...enjoy.

He went back to a previous firmware, because .62 is unrootable and so the devices isn't like you have bought it, because the .ftf you flash isn't the same like the one on phone before
that kind of solution excludes AZERTY HW keyborad of the SK17i ? it seems that every custom rom every is design for US HW keyboard but i dont want to lose my keyconfig anymore by switching firmware,
Any solution for french people ? plz

Search for a french firmware ftf, maybe in development forum you could find one
Or you copy the keyprint.xml from your current rom, save it on your pc, flash a generic firmware and push the file back :good:

Sorry for bothering.
I was reading many texts on this forum and all over the net, and because I`m a newbie I`m still not sure if I`m right about this.
So this 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware is not rootable unless I downgrade right ? I have an xperia ray if that makes any difference.
So the only solution for me to root the phone is to flash the phone with an older version of gingerbread right ?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you've got it. You have to downgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.42 or .58 to root

I guess there's no .68 firmware. Only .58/.62/.69/
I would update; with an ota update (via wifi) you shouldn't loose root. To be on the safe side, download the local-prop script (how to root .431), run it on your current firmware, update, see if you have root, if not run push-root-files

Flashtool can't root ics fw's.
And if doomlord's toolkit is hard for you, then don't mess with your phone at all
How can it be hard, you set 2,3options and connect phone to pc, toolkit does all the job..

For start chill your horses.
I have eyes and I can read, so no need to copy/paste what has been written in this thread.
Second, I know why doomlord's root toolkit failed for OP. doomlords toolkit CAN root .562(also known as 4..0.3) but CAN'T root .431(4.0.4) fw, which is what flashing .562 kernel is needed in order to root.
I know the procedure, I wrote the tutorial(which I linked in post#4), after which guys from talk.sonymobile wrote it on their forum, just FYI.

If you are on 4.0.3, doomlord CAN root your phone, if it can't, you are doing something wrong, in which case, we need to see log of that root process.
Flashtool is only used to flash 4.0.3 kernel, but that's for people on 4.0.4.

He failed with doomlord root toolkit because he had 4.0.4! He needed to flash kernel from 4.0.3, then use toolkit then flash back kernel from 4.0.4

if doomlord's root toolkit FOR ICS, failed for you, provide log of that process.
Now I tell you another thing, which you would know if you read all post in this thread, specially link I gave above, you have unlocked your bootloader, ffs, you can root without any mess with root toolkits, simply flash/hotboot kernel with CWM and flash superuser zip. And enjoy your phone.
Tutorial on talk.sonymobile doesn't have part for unlocked bootloaders, that's why I linked my tutorial which have both parts.
He failed with doomlord root toolkit because he had 4.0.4! He needed to flash kernel from 4.0.3, then use toolkit then flash back kernel from 4.0.4
if doomlord's root toolkit FOR ICS, failed for you, provide log of that process.
U are rite 4.0.3 is workable in doomslord but only on this doomslord toolkit for xperia "DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su"
it has pushed the SU properly nd installed it ! later i have downloaded CWM 5, so i 1st took Astro File Manager from the Market, for exploring the SD then installed the CWM 5, so when i did the SU asked to get the permission nd then all the options in CWM are ticked well and Su got CWM in its list, so all good and rooted, now please refer me the app that can solve the brightness issue in Neo V :good:
Thanx & Regards
now that i have rooted & all ! how will i go to fw .431 means 4.0.4 ? and if i flash 4.04 will my phone still be rooted ?
If u know a process of how to root in 4.0.4 nd can install su in it plz tell ! nd plz clarify me that CWM is necessary to have it 1st installed on the device or SU ?
Lets suppose ill clear the picture ... if i want to flash 4.0.4 with Kernal .431 my phone is open to root, but as u know the doomlords kit failed ! is there any otherway to push SU as a zip like ur mentioning that flash it with hotboot wats that how the process is going to be ?
Plz help !
Hey guys. Im having trouble rooting my wt19i Live Walkman Android.
Noob question, but i cant find any other place to ask - could someone point me to a useful thread, or a new method
I have attempted the DOOMLORD method, but the zip files always fail (from all 3 locations ive downloaded them from). The Eroot method doesn't pick up my device. And the Flashtool method cant work out the drivers.
Any ideas would be great!

Both of these were hopeful. it seems i have a problem with my zip tools. but im using 3 different tools (winzip, zip and IZArc)..... All have either 'CRC header" problems or 'CRC failed - File is Broken'.
Any ideas?
Im soo sorry for being the biggest n00b. but none of the other websites point out what this issue is! The FAQ's on these zip tools are not proving anything. FYI, the file it always has a problem with is the runme.bat
Use my pack, just disable antivirus
For what do you need zipping tools? To unpack?
Try downloading the files again and extract them using 7zip (maybe reinstall it) and try it again

No it's not. You should be able to root without unlocking the bootloader
Try installing PC Companion or SUS and Flashtool (drivers) again for the drivers and try all methods like mentioned in my guide, eroot or cydia impactor

Try installing pdanet
Try installing pdanet software on your pc and your phone as well,it will provide you with necessary ADB drivers for your phone :good: and then try to use flashtool. pdanet is basically a thethrng software for android install it to use flashtool.
1. Install .exe file on your windows pc and .apk on your phone.
2. Then Go in the drive where you have installed the flashtool, go to drivers and install x10 mini drivers.
Now flash the kernel Your phone is rooted :laugh: ,
You need to unlock your bootloader first do this.
