[Q] Is there anyway to unroot without losing data? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi there,
I have rooted my phone (X10 Mini) and would like to know how to unroot it without losing data. Now, before some of you go into the assumption that I hadn't searched up for any other threads, I have, and since those answers were either pretty useless or applied to those particular devices, I figured I might try to find a method specific to this device.
Any help would be appreciated!
And btw does the SuperOneClick unroot function actually work?
Thanks,

You won't lose any data and yes, SuperOneClick works, but you can also do it with flashtool, it's easier.

Thanks guys for replying btw is it possible if you guys give me step by step instructions and the website where I actually download the software? It's just that the website says you have to pay $29.99 and I'm not sure if it's the right one, and they don't mention unrooting.
Thanks,

Hi Emperor.dk,
Are you sure that using the unroot feature of SuperOneClick will NOT erase any data on the device? Sorry to be so bothersome, but I don't want to take the risk.

It won't erase any data on the device, it will just give access to the system areas.
If your data is that important to you though, i would advice you to get a decent backup app from the playstore and keep a copy of your data on your sd-card or your computer

Hi guys, thanks for your reply. As the reason why I would like to root in the first place is to reinstall app data from my current phone when the time comes, is it possible to reinstall an app (like Angry Birds, for example) using the same gmail account for my current phone onto another phone and reinstall the app data as well?
Any answer would be appreciated.
Thanks,

you can use a google account to multiple phones and you can restore your data. i did not tested restore data from pay apps on multiple phones.

So guys, just to be sure, I just use SuperOneClick, click unroot, and then it will be unrooted without loss of data or wiping, or factory resets required?
Any answer would be helpful, I just want to be complete sure and I apologize for being repetitive.
Thanks

The better way would be to do it using flashtool, but yes, you will lose no data or need a factory reset.

No, this is mainly for Sony Ericsson devices, different brands have different methods of rooting, with some it even means losing your data. So make sure you read up on your other phone if it's not a Sony, and maybe root it before you put anything worth while on it
Once your phone is rooted, you can always turn off root access with the installed superuser-app, and turn it on again if you need it, and that won't lose you any data.

So are you saying the flashtool unrooting or the SuperOneClick method will not work for non-Sony's?

Not sure about every device, since i've only got experience with Sony, but there's a brief list of supported devices in this thread for SuperOneClick.
