Haven't you been reading this thread or any of the others? If you upgraded via SE, non rootable, all you have to do is downgrade back to your previous version and then use the xRecovery + pre rooted 2.0.2.A.0.24 by Z method posted all over the Xperia X10 general and q&a forums. With these you also can enable JIT. Other guys didn't spell it out, they just provided links. I'll spell it out but I don't have links for you. Between both you have everything you need right here in this thread.

I do...
Flash with THIS, install THIS, then THIS, done.
just bought class 6 micro SDHC card, for app2sd...
but i got my phone updated to latest useless firmware, and i can't root my phone
i hope someone found ways to root x10 with one-click-method, because i really don't understand how to use flasher / xrecovery
(EDIT)
Can someone help me, how to downgrade this un-root-able firmware to the previous one?
After downgrade, what i need to do is follow the 3 link above posted by xperiax10iuser, right?
Thank you for you help

HI XperiaX10iUser,
Thank you for saving my life
I tired the first method but kept getting NullPoint error, then i tried the nonGUI flasher and it worked like a charm. now i am reinstating the system image created by Xrecovery.
AgentJBM : i understand your frustration, however there was no direct link and the methods mentioned were not as clear for a Noob like me.
thanks all for your help.

I wasn't frustrated. I'm just trying to help other noobs realize that you're not going to find one thread with A-Z. They give you A, H, P, and Z. You have to use search and links to do the ones in between. I'm a noob myself, just a step of two ahead of you, who understands both sides. They aren't being short or impatient. They just expect you to be able to navigate xda if you're going to be messing with your phone.

[Q] X10 multitouch without rooting?

Hi, i don't know if this is the correct place to ask, but i have this user who claimed to (might be the first in the world as i speak) have enabled X10 multitouch without rooting his device.
As i try to reason with him that he is wrong and might be getting the wrong information, he speaks even bolder and louder (even to a point of doubting the wonderful guys here at XDA of their hardwork?)
He was trying to sell his used X10 on a local forum.
The link is here:
forum.lowyat.net/topic/1731902
Below are quoted from him
Most important things that i never HACK or ROOT my X10i for this multitouch input ( Believe me i have my own legal way that not break the law )

I give you 3 clues ok !!!
2 made by computer and 1 ownself got by in android market free.
1. Notepad
2. Phone Text Editor
3. Android Multi Touch Input Applications. (Benchmarks)

Sure it dont make sense for you because you think only XDA Developers can do it only not even Sony Ericsson Company can do it with out rooting and flashing the phone but do you use your big brains to think Sony Ericsson Updates over their own Firmwares and Please Open Your Big 2 Balls of eyes Japan Have its own multitouch update by Sony Ericsson so is that proving it root or flashing the phone ?
So think before you say anything in Lowyat Forum Sony Ericsson have its own people to make those updates , XDA Developers is based in roothing and flashing phone and i have my own way to do it. Anything possible to happen in this earth only you are the one who dont understand and keep saying XDA Developers can do it with rooting and flashing the phone.
My last word is if you so believe on XDA Developers why don`t you do their follower dont believe in other people only believe in XDA Developers. Example there was a people coming to tell you there is a fire on top of your hse and you dont believe and sitting there stupidly waiting for those so called XDA Developers come to save your life.

So can anyone confirm what he said is true/false?
because i also own a X10 and i have yet to root mine to get multitouch.
Thanks for reading.
you gave him a good answer hahaha house on fire haha... on my side.. I BELIVE IN XDA and i appriciate all the peoples hard work for all the rooting and other things..
that boy is just trying to sell his phone for i good price.. maybe it is true but i dont belive it until i see it.. i think he is just kidding whit people on that forum.. i would always first follow the guides on xda to root and dual touch reather then ask him for his method haha LOL root your phone and have fun

Hi,
Didn`t had the patience to read all your post but this is THE FACT
You CAN flash Dualtouch without root.
Q: Can i gent DT work?
A: Yes
Q: Does it work on every apps?
A: No. For that you must be rooted.
Using THIS tool and follow THIS guide.
Now some info.
When you use the flashtool you`re using the same file format that SE uses (dispite it has been renamed to *.ftf files to work with this tool) so, after flash you won`t get rooted.
When you flash the dualtouch.ftf file you are in fact flashing your kernel without affcting anything else ´cause this kernel file was "taken" from an original SE release in Japan.
So you can say to your "friend" that he`s right and you are wrong and if you had any dough try it.
You only have root acces IF and ONLY IF your press "Root" button on that tool.

[Q] what kind of xperia x10 is mine

You can use GingerBreak to root your phone. If you need to downgrade after installing a custom ROM, just restore the NAND backup of your current system (which you should do before installing the custom ROM.) Hope this helps.
Guys wats a custom rom and will somethin happen to my phone and how do i back up sorry for troublin you guys
custom rom is performance boosting rom...
before u flash a custom rom u have to do somethings...
back up ur files and data to pc, contacts to sim...
all data will be erased including sms....
root ur device and flash custom recovery preferably amonra 2.2.1
then follow the instructions in the rom thread to flash it successfully...
So is it completly saafe will somethin happen if i mess up

Hey guys! I have a quick question.
I also have Android 2.2.2 and the V.10e update. In a famous german forum they said the p500 CANT BE ROOTED with 10e. Does it work or not? I am a little confused now... I don't want to brick my phone, you know...
yes, I am ashamed of my knowledge
and yes, I've read through a lot of articles here in the forum and this thread also...
EDIT:
Just for not getting me wrong... I don't want to flash anything, I just want to use root to throw out these pre-installed crap like xing, studivz etc. and to save my zenonia saves ;D
EIDT2:
In this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900905] it says the following:
su
Also referred as substitute user - is command for changing of the account in current terminal (usually black screen with blinking cursor). Default account is root account. So if you insert into terminal 'su' and hit enter, you will become root user.

I wouldn't need the exploit, if I could do it via ADB... (if I knew the correct commands for the folders on the phone)

Alright then... But my question was, if I could do this stuff JUST with ADB, so I wouldn't lose my warranty...
Second question was if there are complications with V10e...
THANK YOU
Your first question does not make sense. How does it matter how do you root the phone when it comes to warranty?
For the rest, it takes about 2 minutes with Gingerbreak APK on v10e.

I read (unfortunately I forgot where) that ADB-rooting would not affect the warranty (don't ask me why)...

Do you want to keep root?
if you're rooted, IMHO its best to manually flash roms. Unles syou dont want root, in which case its best to download a full version from sammobile.com to return it to stock.
OTA updates don't work if you're rooted, you'll get an error

How about taking the time to read the basic faqs and guides first .
Loose root yes .
New software worth it who knows unless you say what it is .
But its probably;y a minor update details all over the forum .

I belive there are custom roms (such as Imperium) with OTA upgrades (at least that's what they say on their [ROM] page.
of course. we're talking about Samsung OTA
