MOD EDIT: PLEASE POST ALL ISSUES RELATED TO ROOT IN THIS THREAD. DEVS PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS THREAD FOR ISSUES AND SUGGESTIONS.
I shall compile a list of problems (possible problems) that people may have when rooting or after root.
Problem: Removed stock apps, still listed in Settings > manage apps
Solution: Delete /data/system/packages.xml, reboot. The phone will repopulate and wala its gone.
Problem: No 3G
Solution: Go to Settings > Wireless controls > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. Press the left button on the X10 and click on New APN.
Problem: Phonebook doesn't work or F/Cs
Solution: Keep Timescape installed till we get custom roms. Phonebook is linked to Timescape.

Heres a list of APNs (Thanks to HellHitZ)

Are people who are having issues restoring previous settings after rooting their phones?
This may cause random issues so its best not to restore previous settings, restoring contacts, call logs and sms are acceptable.
I would not suggest restoring old settings on a fresh root.

Problem: Headphones not working
Solution: For X10a users, don't use Step4 and 5 of rooting process
As biktor_gj mentioned:
P.S.: Mediascape is NOT required to correct audio routing between speaker & headphones. This problem was caused by differences on the kernel module that controls audio routing and the newer baseband. With last root version you shouldn't have any problems using Android's original Music app.

Step4 and 5 replaces the the baseband and the baseband for X10a is older than the rooted baseband. So for now just do Step1 - 3 until SE releases a new ROM for X10a
I shall add more later, but these I think are the problems that most people are having.
were all the drivers installed properly? check the device manager for any unknown devices after you plugged your X10. if you haven't installed seus please do so. also make sure you use the first usb you plugged the X10 in flash mode. otherwise search registry again for the DeviceID. if you plugged the X10 in flash mode to more than one usb ports, you may have more than one entries in the registry for the DeviceID
Not sure what I did but its working now.. on step 2 halfway done
Im having issues with step4.. it says no device found..
nvm.. got it working now

Issues after Root. PLEASE DO NOT POST ISSUES ON THE ROOT THREAD
So here are some issues i now have after rooting,
Internet (WiFi or 2G/3G) So slow it is painful yet Market runs fine.
SD/apps is empty(i would like Mediascape back)?
superuser.apk app just displays a black screen (is this right)
cant assign walpapers as Mediascape was used to assign them.
hey do you have to debrand first before you root and can someone post instructions to root Xperia X10a
Rogers Xperia X10-Stock
For me all apps are in "/sdcard/apps/" but I can't install "Mediascape" (Quadrapop installed/uninstalled successfully) via Astro (maybe it's normal) or by copying "mediascape.apk" and "mediascape.odex" files to "/system/app" (Astro/Better Terminal Emulator).
I haven't issues with Wifi.
hoafter root we loose mediascape, can we install it again or is there an media software as an alternative? can i install mediascape again?
or is there an alternative as media image vieafter root we loose mediascape, can we install it again or is there an media software as an alternative?er
1) my keyboard is gone.
I only have HTC IME Mod installed, and it's not working
2) I have a few old O2 shortcuts in the app list but they seem to have been removed and when I click on them it force closes.
Solved issue 1 by installing another keyboard (I chose slideIT)
my wifi isn't working at all idk what the problem is, but my 3g is working perfectly on my X10A
I'm using an X10a from Rogers and rooted using the first post method and third post's X10a files. My WiFi is working perfectly and so is everything else.
Okay guys, my keyboard was gone at first but I fixed that by reinstalling the keyboard. Now however, I can't change my caller id. I had it set to private before I rooted and now I can't set it back to my original caller id. The setting is missing for me. You know how you go to settings and then call settings, I don't have an option to show my caller id. The only thing there is "Network service setting" and "Network Operators" Is anyone else having the same problem as me too?
Root is done ..
Now my phone restarts each time I plug it into the USB!!
Seems that all the input methods are gone.
I had Swype installed, but it wasn't working, so I removed it thinking I could re-install it again. But when I removed to I discovered that there are no other input methods on phone anymore! Help please
reinstall another input method..
thats what I did.
The rooting process seems to have installed the htc keyboard. Go to locale and text in your settings and enable it.
I had to reinstall swype as well, but it's working great now.

nope mine was running latest from rogers (Stock)
Hi everyone. This morning I turned on my Mini Pro and it was really, really slow. I rebooted and after that all apps I'd moved to SD were gone. The default Android icon is shown instead of their respective icons on the desktop, and they're not listed on the Launcher app list.
When I go to Settings -> Applications -> All, the missing apps are shown with their package names (ie com.twitter.android instead of Twitter). I've already googled and searched XDA, looking for clues on how to solve the problem. I've done the following, but wasn't able to solve it:
- Unmount/remount SD card
- Reboot phone several times
Any ideas on how can I solve this problem? I'm running MiniCM7 v19.
Thanks in advance!
Defrost all the apps using titanium backup..

I've got a minor problem with my Xperia Ray.
Recently I upgraded the system with Sony PCC to Android 4.0.3 and then rooted it to delete some system apps that I would never use(all related to facebook).
But when entering "Menu--Settings--Apps--Choose any app--Scroll down to check app's permission", it just shows like the pic below. Can't see any words.
Does anyone know about it or could any one help me fix it?
Hi,
this is my first thread, but i follow xda since months now. I say hi to all and that you are all great!
I want to share my little experience with a mod (Real ICS) and possibly a bug that i found, i would post it in the official thread but I'm not allowed to.
I can confirm that the installation works fine in my unit (sk17i) with locked bootloader coming from rooted stock ics, with nAa recovery. I follow the instructions, done nandroid backup before, and wipe/format all the partition (system, data, cache, dalvik).
The first boot takes some time (2 to 5 minute) than start sony configuration tool.
All works fine (wifi too) and the battery drain seems like on stock ics, but with all the advantages of the mod. I should say it's only a day i use it, and i still didn't test some functions, but for now all works.
The only thing that seems broken it's the "facebook in xperia" app and i think in consequence the timescape and album apps when i try to open an image from the widget.
To make a long story short, when I try to connect under the xperia menu in preferences, it opens facebook for authorization but close immediately (in stock ics ask confirmation) and in sync menu it remains empty (it should show calendar, contacts and album). I cleaned all the data from the various application and deleted the old app authorization from my facebook account.
In the Timescape widget it connects to the account and shows the links, but when i try to open a link, it opens the album app and then immediately close.
Maybe it is because i had locked bootloader and stock kernel?
It's not a big problem, but if it works it is better
I can do tests if necessary, just tell me what to do.
Sorry for my english, and thanks in advance.
hi everybody !
As i saw the intro video of XDA, i'm one of these real NOOBS !
I have an "unbranded" GSIII (GT-II9300) with JB 4.1.1 (base band is I9300XXDLID) and my version number is JRO03C.I9300XXDLJ2...
Everything worked fine but due to lack of space (SINCE WITH JB WE CAN'T CHOOSE MEMORY TARGET !!!, with 2.1 it was ...), i erase some folders on SDcard and EXTSD (but my phone is unrooted) and this EXTµSD0 (16GB) went from my old GSII....so there were some useless folders in my mind)
anyway, for a reason i don't understand, I CAN'T COPY/PASTE anymore, though the clipboard appears when i selected text, it sometimes tell me
"text copied in clipboard" but switching app (i.e SMS to GMAIL or somethin else) clipboard is empty.
So it seems that i destroyed a folder somewhere..... (expecting it's not a memory leak....).
Do you know what is the process in copy/paste operation and what folder i should check...
I don't have any backup cause Kies is a real piece of crap IMHO....
Any help would be appreciated !
XDA POWER !
I had the same issue before. I posted multiple times on these forums but got no love.
The only solution for me was complete wipe and reinstall.
