Root Would anybody please help?

[Milliganjc]

Would anybody be willing to talk to me over the phone or instant messanger and walk me through SuperOneClick root and installing ROMs for my x10 tonight? Please. I really want to do this today, but I don't want to make any mistakes. Thanks in advance.

If you don't know what you're doing go over XDA Devs and read the tutorials. Because someone might tell you how to do it, but if you screw up and you don't understand what you did, you'll have a hard time fixing it up.

Basically, to install a custom ROM, make sure you got the latest update (with Multitouch), root the phone, install BusyBox, install xRecovery, make a backup, install the new custom ROM following the instructions, and that's it.

That still doesn't help. I've been over all of the tutorials, but what I don't understand is how to download superoneclick to my laptop. When I click on the links posted on this forum that are supposed to be "superoneclick", it takes me to a screen with a million down now options, none of which say superoneclick. If only I could get everything I needed downloaded, I could then do this.

Also, I didn't know whether or not to back anything up, and if so, then what do I back up and how? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Then your phone will be flashed and rooted. Then you are ready for the next step.

Go here - [RECOVERY] xRecovery 0.3-release | UNIFIED - ALL X10 VARIANTS | 31/01/2010 - xda-developers

And you wanna install Busybox and xRecovery. Then you can copy any of the custom roms onto the device and restore any of those custom roms

If you get confused....re-read....scroll down through posts and comments.

It looks a lot longer and more complicated than it takes.

I've done it much easier..
Download
Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites! (MD5: 4C370DDC5B6D40F96CA00D856019B19F)
Which is the flash tool Download FlashTool version 0.2.9.1 Beta :

Then all you have to do is to put your phone into USB debugger mode, conntect phone, then run the flasher...

Then
Root - Phone will restart after it's done, (I think it'll install busy box too)
Then install X recovery....
Then when phone is restarting (with SE logo) keep pressing back button untill you get to xrecovery mode,
Then back up your rom
Then run the flasher again with phone connected...
then use the Flash button to flash your phone to the rom you want..
or you can use optimize to install JIT, which is really cool , or APK installer to install some stuff to your phone..
then Clean button will allow you to delete the junk apps and it'll save a copy of it in the app_copy folder....

Please correct me if i'm wrong.. I only did it last night, and I haven't flashed my phone to other roms yet, i've just fiddled around with the flasher to speed my existing rom...
