Good job man... I guess this avoids all the DeviceID finding business
So, what about step 3 in Bin4ry's tutorial? can it be done by Omnius as well?
Is this exclusive to X10i? What happens with timescape/mediascape? Anyway to keep both of them as some people are reporting to have?

To be honest i only have X10i so i couldn't say if it works or not on X10a or developer boards, Timescape is fine and Mediascape works well so far.

Yes as the root interacts with the firmware not the hardware. as far as i a aware though future solutions are imminent.
Can one use the R2BA020 and still achive root?
by missing out step 3 you are leaving your x10 on the slower older baseband
What is the situation of the phone? is every thing still there? TS and MS?

That's a solid enough guide I'd say but sorry just one more thing I can think that might be valid to add if I may;
Before going to say about adb for flashing screen recommend a fresh install first as that is much easier for the user to do if they just done it than read and learn all about adb. Just a thought but good guide, please delete this post if its considered as spam or not relevant.

Q: How do I change the bootanimation?
A: You can´t, will be possible in the final version!
Click to expand...

In fact you can change as follows (at your own risk)
1. Use Root Explorer to delete \system\media\bootanimation.zip (or replace with your own)
2. Copy framework-res.apk from \system\framework to sdcard
3. replace the following image files in framework-res.apk (I use total commander) with the stock image files:
i) android-logo-mask.png & android-logo-shine.png in assets\images folder
ii) default_wallpaper.jpg in res\drawable-hdpi folder
4. Copy framework-res.apk from sdcard back to \system\framework folder
5. reboot
Thanks, will this to my thread.

Thanks dude, worked a treat with Mr Rusch's X10 Mod Tool and 7zip.
Installed and seems to be working fine aside from the screen flickering which I can't seem to get rid of. The ADB thread has a link for android SDK which seems to be out of date because it no longer links to a download. I can't figure it out otherwise. Anyone wanna help me get rid of the screen flickering?
Reinstall the zip via xRecovery, jusy as you did the first time you installed FreeX10.

Yes, you can restore data with titanium, but I recommend a fresh install of all your apps.
The only thing I restored with Titanium was my SMS/MMS.
Contacts and calendar synced with gmail.
The other apps was a fresh install from market.
That way i'm sure no junk from 2.1 will mess up my freshly installed 2.2 rom
But sure you can, if you want, restore most of your apps and data.
Maybe just me that want everything fresh

But make sure you disable your SIM PIN code.
If your phone reboots during the night I'm not sure the alarm will work if the phone asks for PIN.

I had the same problem. For that you have 2 option to resolv.
1. Using flashtool, back on stock 2.1 firmware
2. Search and download from here xRecovery-0.3_GBready.zip. Put it on your SD card ( just in SD, not any folder ), and rename with update.zip. After you do all what you have to do, go into recovery mod and before to flash any custom .zip hit Install update.zip from SD Card. xRecovery will flash the update.zip from you SD. After that....that's all . Now you can flash anything you want.
P.S
If you are to lazy to search go to that link http://www.mediafire.com/?pnpvpg3cj4gvf0n
Good luck

Find the right file for your region http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733 ( .ftf file ). Download the file and put in firmware folder from flashtool. Power off your phone.Open flash tool, hit FLASH button, chose the recent downloaded file and click "ok". Keep back button pressed ( back button from your phone ), and connect usb cable. Now flashing should begone. That's all.
But remember!!! All usb drivers, pc companion and sdk have to be installed on your pc, before to make all that process.
Good luck. Waiting for good news.

1. Hard reset your phone either with system->privacy->erase all data or turning your phone off, and holding HOME + VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON.

1. Connect your phone with usb cables, make sure you have installed all the drivers needed, and connect phone in DEBUGGING Mode (provided a bit upper on this post)
2. In the extracted folder called root on your desktop, go to ADB folder and start cmd7.exe if u run win7 or cmdXP.exe (run as administrator in both options) if ur pc runs win XP. (your address bar should like something like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME HERE\Desktop\root\ADB
3. After starting cmd7 (for Windows 7 or Windows Developers Preview) or cmdXP (Windows XP), type following commands
Code:
adb devices
then
Code:
adb shell
(symbol will change to $ or #) and copy paste following command into your terminal
Code:
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
4. After doing this, Reboot... Or do this command on sdk:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
5. After reboot, go to root folder on desktop again, and start SuperOneClick.exe
6. Select GingerBreak method and press root button
7. After BOOM!!!, if not working, restart from Step 1... You have rooted Optimus One.

Cool!
Superuser binaries have been updated to 3.0.3 now.
Dax, you are too kind.
I think anyone wanting to root/recovery/flash should do their time reading, and then read some more.... THEN and only THEN should be allowed to ask intelligent questions based on the research they have done.
In the end I think you are only allowing newbs to be lazy with your UCG.
We have stickies for this very reason, but no one reads them it seems.

Well said and pretty much true.
There is another thread like this by victortangocharlie where hes exlplained multiple methods for installing recoveries.
But stickysours thread is huge. and too many questions, so a compact thread is always better implemented.
P.S - IMO !

It might be huge but is well differentiated and subdivided into different points and its better to read and research everything stated out there to avoid unwanted problems since we are gonna play wid the android system ..

I reported to mod, to close thread... Now finding a way to learn how to get sources and make a kernel for SGM.33
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
For Z2 Marshmallow .291 and LOCKED bootloader.
Working for D6503. Seems to be issues for D6543 model. Not sure about D6502...
1. Firstly go to https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6aEcBP7FwsWUGpQdHdvaVRCQlk/view and download the .291 kernel.
2. Then download SuperSU from here.
3. Put both these files on your phone's SD card.
4. Next download the .575 kernel here.
5. Before this can be used, you need to change it from a .zip file to a .ftf file.
- Go to the file location in the file browser.
- Click on the 'View' section in the top ribbon (Win 10).
- Check 'file name extensions' in the 'show/hide' section.
- Rename the kernel file, deleting the .zip and replacing it with .ftf instead at the end.
6. Download the Recovery for MM from here.
Extract the zip file.
7. Download the correct drivers for your phone: simplest way seems to be by installing Sony PC Companion and connecting your device.
8. Download and install 'Flashtool' from here. (The 0.9.18.6 version seems to have better compatibility).
9. Install the drivers for the flash- if you are on windows 10 or 8 you will need to turn off driver signing first:
A) Press the Windows key + R together and in the ‘Run’ box type: shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
- This will take you to the advanced boot menu.
– Now make the following selections to boot into the Start Up Setting Screen: Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Start Up Settings > Restart
– Then, when the machine restarts, select number 7 i.e. “Disable driver signature enforcement”. Your machine will start with Driver signing enforcement disabled until the next reboot.
B) Now you can install the Flashtool drivers.
– Windows will warn that the driver is not signed and will require you to confirm the installation.
– Once the installation is complete, reboot the machineTo install the drivers you need to go to the Flashtool install folder (e.g. C:\Flashtool) and go in to the 'drivers' folder and run the 'flashtool-drivers.exe'.
- From the menu select Flashmode drivers, Fastboot drivers, and then scroll down and select Xperia Z2 device drivers (not sure if this last one is necessary if you've done step 7 previously, but I did it and everything worked.)
- Click install, and click okay on the warning messages.
10. Enable developer options on your phone (repeatedly tap on build number in 'About phone' in settings.)
Then make sure that USB Debugging is enabled, and in 'Security' that 'Allow Unknown Sources' is enabled.
11. Back up vital data (though you shouldn't loose anything), then power your phone off with it not connected to the computer.
12. Startup Flashtool and let it update etc.
13. While holding the volume down button on your phone, connect it to your PC.
Flashtool should respond and spew out a few lines of text ending with something like 'Phone ready for flashmode operations'.
14. Click on the lightning bolt, select 'Flashmode', and then in the next window browse to the location of the .575 .ftf kernel file you made. Select it, then click 'flash' at the bottom right. There should be more lines of text hopefully showing that this is completed successfully.
15. Close Flashtool, disconnect your phone, then turn on your phone.
16. Flash the recovery: Reconnect your phone to the PC and select MSC mode.
Go to the unzipped recovery and run 'install.bat' as administrator (if that doesn't work try not as administrator).
If the window that opens up stays on 'starting daemon...' for a while check on your phone as you may need to authorize the 'unknown source' connection from the PC.
The installation should complete with a 'press any key to continue'. Your phone should then automatically reboot in to TWRP recovery.
17. Install SuperSU: Once in TWRP go to 'Install' and select the SuperSU zip (you may need to select 'storage' and choose your SD card first). Swipe to install!
18. Reinstall the .291 kernel: still in TWRP do basically the same as for SuperSU but this time with the MM .291 zip.
19. Cross your fingers and reboot!
20. All being well you are now rooted, you can check root by installing 'Root Checker' form the play store.
21. Open a beer and relax!
(22. Install Cyberian camera!)
Please give me some thanks if I have helped you!

A clarification to @rocker00 guide, good!
//But you can actually tell him to update his guide, opening a new thread will make ppl confused.

Ha, yeah, sorry. It's not meant to be insulting, it's more tongue in cheek and based off the book series 'An Idiots Guide To...'
These are the instructions I needed to be able to do it myself, I just thought it would be easier for people to have it all consolidated in to one clear, easy to understand, set of instructions.
I'll change the title though, just incase it puts anyone off!
My device is D6543 and at the time of installing TWRP it appeared '... Error: device not supported'.

My device is the D6543 .291 Stock and I have the Bootloader Unlocked, I am not able to do the TWRP procedure, the device normally reboots without Recovery Mode, what should I do?
I'm afraid I don't know about how to do the D6543. I did this with my D6503. Best thing to do is to post in this thread for some help.
Please post back here if you figure it out so that I can add the info to this guide.
I'll change the instructions so that is clear that this is tested on D6503.
I have aproblem with flashtool i couldn't find the specific ftf file though i put it in the specified folder

You can save the .575 kernel file where you like, as long as you browse to that location when selecting which file to flash in Flashtool.
Make sure it has actually been changed to a ftf file (like in step 5) and isn't still a zip: right click on the file and select properties, then details.

Sorry, I don't know what the problem is.
Try redownloading the file again and saving it somewhere different perhaps.

I know. I mean I don't know why you can't find the file.
The version of Flashtool I link to in the guide is the old version 0.9.18.6, so if you followed the guide you should already be using it.
Are you sure you renamed it to ftf correctly? You don't need to extract it.

What fixed it?
Just in case someone else has the same problem.
Thanks for this, tooplanx, Works perfectly. Step by step guides like this are invaluable even if, like me, you've rooted a similar device before a few months ago, there is always little steps which you forget about so to have a guide like this is greatly appreciated.
