Root New Rooting method for 2.1 | updated for 2.0.2.A.0.24 | 9/01/2011

[X10iUser]

Here comes the latest rooting method that works with 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware.
Credits to Scotty2 for his psneuter exploit!

1. Download and unpack rootme.tar.bz2
2. Execute ./rootme (linux) or rootme.bat (windows)
3. Done.

You may also want to try SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse.zip (modified by batman_112 to use the latest exploit).


Cheers,

Until you explain what you don't understand I don't understand what you don't understand.

Thank you so much... rooted my X10i with 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware...

Excellent, the SuperOneClick version here successfully rooted my x10i.

Thanks,

OK, been farting about with this all morning now and despite having root, I can't seem to get BusyBox installed. It is downloaded but when I go to load it, it says failed and consequently, Ti BackUp won't work so I can't uninstall all the that Quadrapop/Moxier/WisePilot shite!

Help me Superman, you're my only hope!

UPDATE: After a few uninstalls and reinstalls, managed to get BusyBox and TI Back-up working. So, I now have root, JIT and TI Backup sorted with all the Moxier and other useless crap removed! Result: Superfast x10i

Thank you Superman!

Newbie question here. I'm running linux, and I've just looked over the "rootme" script file.

Do I need to install these files on the Xperia first, and run them there - and in which case in which directory do I install them? I've already discovered I can mount the Xperia (the SD card shows up as "/media/PHONE CARD") on my linux system, but being totally new to Android I'm a bit unsure how to proceed.

If anybody can give me some simple instructions - or point me in the direction of some - I'd be delighted!

Thanks,
-A.

You just need to download the SuperOneClick and run it on the PC.

 

[AussieGuy]

Thanks very much, but I only run Linux - both at home and at work - and I don't have access to any version of windows. I can add files quite happily to the Xperia, but I can't yet find out what I need to do (using Linux) to root.

Thanks again,
-A.

OK, I found a windows machine, downloaded SuperOneClick and ran it. It gave these error messages:

--

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

OK

What do I need to do to get a successful root?

Thanks,

First try plugging it into another port...number one problem...if not that I suggest maybe Z4

Could be in the market, but maybe not.

Z4 wouldn't work on .24 for me. I actually had to do another factory reset because it stopped USB mount from working somehow

 

[AussieGuy]

Thanks, CuBz. I'll go back to wrestling with SuperOneClick on Windows (aargh), then. I wish some friendly person would release rooting software which ran under linux!

Used the superoneclick v1.5.5 method. Succesfull root, but my phone dooes not connect to HSPDA network. Sometime it comes on and right away it goes off. Any suggestions?? I've rebooted, take out the battyer, toggl;ed the data connection option. No luck so far...

 

[mr_esmit]

Nvermind, I rebooted a few times to apply new fonts and data connection is back...
Wierd though.

 

[MasterC93]

It was a success, but I can't access to the system file either.

 

[satishganni]

Thanks a lot. I have been trying to do this from last 2 weeks. finally it worked. thanks a ton.

So not follow these steps.

They don't work for Android 2.3.

Please read any of the more recent posts on how to root.

If you are ever looking into rooting or upgrading, using a thread that hasn't been updated in 10-11 months is not a good idea.

That....and you are in the Sony x10 section, not the Sony x10 mini section. The ROMs and tools might be different for you.

Who knows, maybe you do use some old way to upgrade your x10 mini that are no longer supported on the regular x10.
