HOW TO ROOT YOUR X10: DUMMIES GUIDE
Enhanced the original guide from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
Step 1: Download either of these (they are both the same)
http://hotfile.com/dl/51439105/089444b/ROOT_F2v1.rar.html
http://rapidshare.com/files/403892144/ROOT_F2v1.rar.html
Step 1.5: Download this
http://hotfile.com/dl/51430503/3734556/i_R1FA16_ft.rar.html
Step 2: Disconnect your X10 and power it off
Step 3: Hold the "Back" button on your X10 and connect your USB cable (SEUS Drive should install or fail)
Step 4: Go to your start menu a run "regedit"
Step 5: Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE
Step 6: You will see a number like "1&23cfa456&7&8". This is your device ID. Copy this number
Step 7: Go to the "i_R1FA16_ft" folder you just downloaded, then open folder "step1" and then open the file "DeviceID.txt"
Step 8: Copy your device ID into this file and save it
Step 9: Power off your phone, disconnect it and remove the battery for 5 seconds
Step 10: Start "X10flash.bat"
Step 11: Put your battery back in, hold the "back" button and connect your USB cable like in step 3
Step 12: Open the other folder you downloaded called "ROOT_F2v1" and copy "DeviceID.txt" into the folders "step2" and "step3"
Step 13: On your phone, press menu > settings > applications > Allow debugging
Step 14: Run "step2.cmd" and select the 6 option down "Unpack from SDCard" and let it do its thing
Step 15: Run "step3.cmd" and press enter. Let it do its thing until it reboots back to the phone
Step 16: Enjoy Root
If you have problems with permissions do these commands on your phone's terminal:
mount -o remount, rw /system
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
su

This should make SuperUser.apk pop-up and ask for permissions
Removing Applications
Step 1: Download http://rapidshare.com/files/403921536/step4.rar.html
Step 2: If you are on Vista or W7, open up the "step4" folder
Step 3: Shift-right click and select Open Command Prompt Here
Step 4: Take your pick from the following commands. Chose which one you want and type into the command prompt
@adb shell rm /system/app/mox*

Mate, mediascape isnot in the apps folder, how to restore?
that is old method though ? new method does not need device Id and is simpler. it also gives FULL r2b...020 rom rather than just baseband like old method
new method is as simple as flashing the uk 016 rom to your phone and then running jerpleas brand new step 2 and 3 files.
Hi, ive come accross 2 problems, first I have two device numbers in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE. One ends in 1 the other 2, what one do I use. Rebooted pc & phone and still two!
Second, when I start "X10flash.bat" it says this:
'java' is not recognised as an internal or external operable program or batch file.
Any ideas?

I just did the latest root (three step one) and it seems to have worked. But my X10a is not a X10i and why is it showing I have the build number of R1FA016. I thought this was supported to flash the newer build on the phone.
Also, should I wait for X10a instructions?

Try re-installing your Java. It worked for me/my Rogers X10a
Download the offline installer from here:
http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=39494
It'll say that Java is installed, but you want to re-install it. Once it's done re-installing, restart your computer and it should work.

what your computer is trying to tell you is that it can not find the file "asroot2". make sure it is in the same directory where you try to execute the command, or give it an absolute path like this:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push c:\whatever\asroot2 /data/local/

it helps if i do this
1. Download the following file and then unzip
it.
AsRoot2
2. Take the unzipped file and save it into the Tools folder of your AndroidSDK.

do i do anything else to save ? or just unplug the USB all done ?

hello x10 buddys
srry for my noob question, but i have a problem...
when i go to run - cmd
adb shell
$ su
#
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
i am able to do this.
No i wanna install a theme with the file ****.cmd
I start the cmd file and i will get this error
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
Why i get this error?
i am not adb shell # at this moment?
You'll only be able to remount while you've root permissions...
If you do SU before doing the .cmd then you should be fine...
(You might also have problems with file permissions, in which case you'll need to run chmod 755 on some directory after remounting. If you've this problem, let us know. Maybe post the .cmd?)
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i thougt that was the problem ty
but how i get SU before run the cmd file?
when i do adb shell in the directory of the theme
after that i cant run the cmd files or i did something wrong.
Spend the hole night on it ^^
the cmd file will be alright, its from the New theme here
Have u tried
Adb shell su
Then allow it with superuser?
I'm not sure if it will work as I haven't tested it...
Hope it helps
in my Su on the phone
Unkonwn
/system/bin/sh als root (uid: 0)
i wanna run ***.cmd when i am in cmd with su#
wen i start the **cmd i wil not have su#
i need to do....
adb shell
$ su
#
and then put a command to run ***.cmd file of the theme
when the **.cmd file in c:\desktop\newfolder\***.cmd
which command i need to write when i in adb shell # to run the cmd file??
If I don't remember wrong, I had to do this chmod 4755 /system/bin/su to get the "#" prompt (su) as default in Better Terminal.
Perhaps it will help you too ? (allowing the scripts to run as superuser)
Have you tried doing everything with adb shell? Ie
Adb shell su
Hit enter
Adb shell mount blah blah blah
Hit enter
Adb shell run the cmd
I read somewhere u should only chmod as a last resort and if u know what you're doing. For the most part i have no idea what's going on (i feel like Gary busey) so i haven't tried the chmod.
I would have posted the actual script but its a pita to do from my phone
he said run:not found ^^
How about at the beginning before adb shell su move to the directory its in.
Eg.
cd C:\the directory the cmd is saved

Adb shell run the cmd does NOT mean you should type in Adb shell run <some command>.
It means you should type in Adb shell <some command> where <some command> can be for example su, cp, dd or something else (unix commands).
tread can closed. I dont get it...
You're giving up that quick? :-(
Come on!!!!
Solution A:
1. Go here and download X10Root1.0.8.apk.
2. Install the apk to your phone.
3. Run the app and use it to "unsecure sh".
4. Run your CMD script.
5. Run the app again to "secure sh".
6. If you skipped #5 (secure), go back and do #5.
Solution B (alternative):
1. Download the Standalone Toggle Secure Shell script.
2. Extract and run it (it's a CMD script).
3. Select "Unsecure" and follow the directions (requires some typing or copy/pasting).
4. Run your CMD script.
5. Run the toggle script again to select "Secure".
6. Don't skip #5 (secure).

You have your adb and crackin.bat in the folder " /android-sdk/platform-tools"
And it looks like the other files (line 3 - 5) are in another folder.
Assuming you followed the instructions exactly, you probably extracted those files into "/android-sdk/tools"?
If so, just copy all files from "/android-sdk/platform-tools" to "/android-sdk/tools" and it should work.
Also, do i need to root HBOOT first?

type the following commands from the folder where you have adb;
Code:

accept the notification on your phone if one comes up
and then in the command line type this;
Code:

From what I remember, yes it is.
You can now continue the guide in your first post from the point where you have to insert your gold card into your phone.

Which errors?
The errors you posted in your first post were from running crackin.bat.
That is not necessary after running the steps I posted.
You can skip to the part where you insert your goldcard into your phone and then run the 1.31 RUU.
I get stuck at step 6 http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-legend/
No menus load.
So if I understand correctly, you have now already succesfully downgraded (Link as in your first post) and rooted (Link)your phone? Since the link you gave in your last post is for flashing a custom rom, which is the last step in the process.
Oops, no, not downgraded yet - I lost my patience, I will try properly again.

You need this version of HTC Sync, so if you have a newer version, uninstall that version first.
Once installed, run the RUU again (you might need to run it as admin).

Yes I have that specific version.
Tried run as admin.
Just to be sure, you still have your phone connected in charge only state right?
If so, are you sure you didn't get any error in the earlier steps?
I downgraded using the exact same method and didn't get this error (recognized all of the others), so I'm not sure what might cause this otherwise.

I showed you what I got from following your steps earlier. You said it looked ok, then I went to downgrade with the RUU.
Is the RUU compatible with 64bit Windows 7?
Looking at your other post, it looks like you managed to complete the downgrading?
What turned out to be the problem with the second step?

Mate, just wanted to let you know I was having the exact same issues under Win7 x64 and after trying your Visionary+ and manually executing adb commands method, I was able to run RUU successfully.
My Legend is now 1.3.1 and Im performing the root as I type.
Thanks for your help and contritubtion.

Tried to downgrade many time using guides on the forum but when running RUU always get:

- downloaded the drivers with HTC SYNC (phone shows up at device manager)
- made the gold card (with two different cards 2GB Kingston, 8GB SanDisc)
- ran ADB ended up with: cr--rw----

This assumes a factory fresh nook and a mac that hasn't previously been used. I just reset mine again (Hold Power until you get prompted, pick power off, then when it's off, press N and then turn it back on) and went through this. Works reliably.
On the NOOK
Browse to this:
http://www.launcherpro.com/apk/LauncherPro-0.8.6.apk
When it's done, click on notifications center
Press on downloaded apk file
Complete action using package installer
It should say "install blocked"
Press settings
Tick unknown sources (press ok)
Pick Development
Tick USB debugging (press ok)
Tick the other USB debugging further down
Uncheck Automount
Back/Back
On the MAC
Download Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Unzip it
Start a shell
Cd to the dir where you unzipped it
cd to tools directory
run ./android - android sdk manager launches
Tick Android SDK platform tools
Click install 6 packages - wait until it's all done. "done loading packages"
Open a new shell
See if there is .android directory in your home directory, if not "mkdir -p ~/.android" in your home directory
echo 0x2080 > ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
adb kill-server
Connect the Nook via MicroUSB to your Mac
The nook should show you notification saying usb debugging connected. If not something's wrong with the settings in the menu earlier
Download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/Nook&Zergy.zip
unzip that file
Adjust your PATH variable to include the directory containing the adb binary from the sdk, eg:
export PATH=$PATH:YOURDOWNLOADDIR/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/
Type which adb
This should show you the full path to the adb binary, if not your path is set wrong, assuming that is right
adb devices
You should see:
List of devices attached
[YOUR NOOKCOLOR SN] device
adb push zergrush /data/local/zergy
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/zergy;cd /data/local/;./zergy"

Click on Notification center again, and press on the Golancher Icon again. Install the Goauncher
Reboot
After reboot, slide to unlock and it should ask "complete action using..". Pick LauncherPRO
Open Marketplace which should be on the launcher screen
Sign in with your google credentials, attach the device to your account
Install button savior from the Marketplace.
Browse to www.amazon.com/app-email
Click notifications and watch for Amazon appstore apk download
Click and install.
You should now be live with Android Market & Amazon Market.
My word I hope these kind of instructions get captured in a wiki somewhere...
Just what I was looking for, worked perfect first try. My frustrations are out the window, not my Nook Tablet!!!
Sweet. One person helped, my debt is repaid the community
Sweet Indeedie!
Thanks @t-r-i-c-k - you just helped yet another.
Note to others - I did have a problem getting my device listed with adb, I re-ran the tgps_launcher app for the debug settings and un-checked and re-checked USB Debugging lines (2 of them) and that seem to do it. I also re-plugged the USB cable a one point so that may have been part of the trick as well - not real sure. You may have to fiddle a bit.
EDIT: ok running tgps_launcher, it is the first USB Debugging checkbox to un-check then re-check.

Ok, just had a bit of a scare after rooting...
I had left the NT in terminal, su'd to root and the display timed out. NOTHING would bring it back to life!! EXCEPT plugging in the USB cable and running 'adb devices' ... and it powered on!! Whew!!!!
(before this I held the power button for a good 30 seconds and tried a repower to no avail)
I tried to replicate but always got my unlock back on no matter what I did?!
Ok so here is where I am getting stuck.

I'm pasting the "mkdir -p ~/.android" command into the terminal and it doesn't seem to do anything. No such directory is created.
Perhaps I'm missing something. I'm not as used to using the terminal on my Mac as I am on Linux.

Nope - not the your Nook terminal - do it on your Mac
...assuming you are doing it on your mac...
if you use 'cd' (and [Enter] of course) and you'll be in your home folder ("~")
if mkdir returns an error then it probably already exists - try 'ls -a' and see if you see it.
if it exists then use the echo command again - there is no visible output - it used by adb

It makes a hidden directory in your home directory. ls -lart ~ to see it
Yay!!! It works!!!! It took a bit of tweaking, and a few extra steps (making sure all the directories were right) but it worked. Thanks a lot!
It all seemed to work really well except I got a force close on the google framework when I rebooted. Not sure if I should start from scratch or not. One thing I can't figure out how to do is erase apps that install from the market. Clicking settings brings up the Nook settings which doesn't have any record of the apps I installed via market.
Also, is there any way to enable USB debugging after the reboot? When I plugged in the usb cable again to try to repush the framework I just get usb storage.
Ok, I found a link to the app that lets me toggle USB debugging though I'm getting a permissions error when I try to push. Also figured out that I can uninstall apps through the market app itself.
Thanks very much for the instructions you've posted here.. very helpful!

I have seen that google services framework crash once too. I just ignored it and everything seems fine. I did notice at least one other person in the main thread who reported the same. I may wipe my device and try the process again, this time with another Launcher too. I also noticed the app store doesnt show everything either. Notably facebook seems missing. If you go right to it from a link you get a "this is not compatible with your device" at the top. Going to play around more after work. On the whole though, this is awesome!

You need to be in the directory where you unzipped the zip from dropbox . Do ls -l and you should see the zergrush file, su etc

@beatlesfan01: I wonder if /data/local doesn't exist on your NT - or you don't have permissions...
maybe try (from your Mac shell)
Code:
mac-osx$ adb shell
$ ls /data/local
a) you should get the single '$ ' prompt after the adb cmd - this is the NT's shell
b) you should get no error from 'ls /data/local
If you get errors for /data/local, then try this (while still in the 'adb shell'):
Code:
$ mkdir /data/local
$ chmod 777 /data/local
If you get an error on the 'mkdir' do the 'chmod' anyway - actually the 'chmod ...' may be the only thing you need.
Then try stuff again.
I did the first part and got this:
MYNAME-iMac-2:~ emt1052$ adb shell
$ ls /data/local
tmp
$

*** NOTE EDIT ***
Ok, try 'ls -l /data' and look for 'local'
the permissions should look like '-rwxrwxrwx' - if not try 'chmod 777 /data/local' and try your adb push cmd again.
Got this:
ls -l /data/local
drwxrwx--x shell shell 2011-11-21 16:06 tmp
$ chmod 777 /data/local
$ adb push zergrush /data/local/zergy

I DO appreciate your help with this.
Based on your last post - you are issuing the adb push command on the Nook.
It has to be issued on the Mac...

Ok - weird. I did mis type and edited my previous post BUT the chmod should have looked after the permission issue anyway...
Try 'chmod 777 /data' - can you do that without an error - using the 'adb shell'?

Hi guys
I've imported the SH-06D from Japan and the phone is running great, however I'd like to remove some system apps etc to help speed up the phone (it's still on 2.3.5) and obviously tweak it as well.
I know there is an existing thread on the SH-01D (predecessor to the SH-06D) but I'm wondering if anyone has successfully rooted the SH-06D and if so, is there an (easy) process to do this?
Another reason I want to root, is to install the UI from the upcoming Evangelion Nerv edition of the SH-06D that is due to be released in a few days.
ICS for the SH-06D is just around the corner (due to be released in July) but I'd realy appreciate any help, assistance or tips in rooting the phone as it is now.
Cheers! :fingers-crossed:
Anyone?
:-(
here is a link to root the sh-06d :
http://itsuki.ddo.jp/gadget/index.php?SH-06D
THANK YOU!
Have you tried this method and does it work? Can you assist me in following those directions?
Cheers

I want to know untill now has SH-06D been rooted?
I wish someone could dump ROM or launcher from SH-06 NERV version:fingers-crossed:
I'm working on the translation for root on Sharp Aquos SH-06D.
Please give me one or two more days!
That is highly impossible, having full root in J Phone are hard enough. Unlocking the bootloader is a wet dream for almost everyone who likes J phone

I'm trying to hard reset my SH-06D, but I can't do it via settings-privacy. I can select to wipe, but nothing happens.
Any suggestions?
I got the Nerv edition
Hey man, how did the rooting go? I ordered the Nerv edition of this phone, and I want to root it (mainly to pair my sixaxis controller for psx emulation) but wanted to consult with you first as a precaution.
Here is the a rough translation of the root guide found here:
http://itsuki.ddo.jp/gadget/index.php?SH-06D
Big thanks to testnumero for the help!
Please don't ask me directly for help. I don't own this phone.
A quick look at root
• With root you can freeze preinstalled bloatware and backup application settings and game save data.
• 3D content from /system can be played on other devices and 3DTVs.
Unresponsive apps can be frozen which will help the device run smoother and have a longer battery life.
Applications which are frozen disappear from your drawer making the device look cleaner and keeping your mind at ease.
• The process is similar to the one used for SH-01D.
• If an update patch is released or the Android 4.0 summer update is released then this guide will no longer be of help.
(Make sure your device is the following: Android Ver. 2.3.5 Build No. 01.00.03)
• If your device becomes a paperweight I won’t be held responsible.
• Follow this guide at your own risk.
↑
Preparations – Before you begin
• Install Android SDK and SHARP ADB USB drivers and make to use ADB.
• 「Settings」→「Applications」→「Development」→「USB Debugging」 checked.
• SH-06D and micro USB cable to connect to your PC
↑
Required Files
• Download "shdisphook" from the following link and extract.
http://goo.gl/Bs6Iq
• Download shsdgetroot-omap4.zip from the following link and extract.
http://www1.axfc.net/uploader/File/so/78144
• Download shbootgetroot-su.lzh from the following link and extract.
http://www.mediafire.com/?6i0n32jlwbxe8cp
• Keep all extracted files in the same folder.
↑
Creating files
• Create a file named "shdisphook.bat" in the folder with the extracted files.
Copy and paste the following and save.
adb push onload.sh /data/local/
adb push libsdservice_jni.so /data/local/
adb push shdisphook /data/local/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/onload.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/shdisphook
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device shell /data/local/shdisphook
pause
• Create a file named "oncmd.sh" and put the following in the description.
(Save the line break as LF)
chmod 777 /cache
chmod 666 /cache/recovery
• Replace the contents of the file "installfile.cmd" with the following and save.
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chmod 777 /sbin"
adb push su /sbin
adb push busybox /sbin
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chown 0.0 /sbin/su"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chown 0.0 /sbin/busybox"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chmod 6755 /sbin/su"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chmod 755 /sbin/busybox"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/sbin/busybox --install -s /sbin"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chmod 755 /sbin"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/mount -o ro,remount -t rootfs rootfs /"
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/
adb shell /system/bin/pm install -t -f -r /data/local/Superuser.apk
adb shell /system/bin/rm /data/local/Superuser.apk
exit /b
↑
Step 1
• Open command prompt to the folder with the extracted files and navigate to "shdisphook".
Execute "shdisphook.bat". (You can also just double click on the .bat file)
• The device will reboot so just wait for the [Press any key to continue] message to appear.
If more than a few minutes have passed and nothing has appeared then, force close and execute "shdisphook.bat" again.
(When you fail your PC will reboot or your SH-06D WiFi will start. There is a high rate of success when you immediately unlock the lock screen for your device when it goes to sleep.)
↑
Step 2
• Open command prompt and send oncmd.sh to SH-06D to change permissions
adb push oncmd.sh /data/local/oncmd.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/oncmd.sh
• 「Settings」→「microSD and device storage」→「Unmount microSD」 This will execute the file "oncmd.sh" , which was sent to the device earlier.
(Cancel the message for 「Unmount microSD」)
• Enter the following commands.
adb shell mv /cache/recovery /cache/recovery_
adb shell ln -s /dev/shsd /cache/recovery
• Execute the following adb shell ls -l /cache and if you see the following message you have succeed.
drwxrwx--- root root 2011-11-11 03:39 lost+found
drw-rw-rw- system cache 2012-01-24 10:48 recovery_
lrwxrwxrwx shell shell 2012-03-02 13:24 recovery -> /dev/shsd
• Next execute adb shell ls -l /dev/shsd you should get the following message if you were successful.
crw-rw-rw- system cache 231, 0 2012-04-23 02:01 shsd
↑
Step 3
• Execute adb push shsdgetroot-omap4 /data/local
• Execute adb shell /system/bin/chmod 755 /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4
• Execute adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -v -m -u
• The “# “mark will appear there will be no response. Close command prompt for now.
• Execute installfile.cmd
• Check if you have root with the following adb shell→su
↑
After you reboot
• After you reboot you will lose root rights so execute shdisphook.bat→Cancel Unmount microSD →execute installfile.cmd and you should have root again.
The reason why you cannot do a clean wipe or nothing happen is because the recovery section has been move out into another location, causing it to not loading the recovery correctly.
Check with SH-01d part, I have asked similar question there and I revert the recovery in order to wipe the phone..
You need to rearrange the following section like on the sh-01d when you hit this part:
(Following is Original command that you relocated the recovery for root)
adb shell mv /cache/recovery /cache/recovery_
adb shell ln -s /dev/shsd /cache/recovery
And replace with the revert command found on sh-01d thread. You will need to redo all the steps from step 1 to step 2 and STOP AFTER YOU REVERT the RECOVERY.
You should be able to do a full wipe with no issue then. DO NOT POWER DOWN or RESET!!! You will have to REDO it again as it REQUIRES SHDSIHOOK to input shell command.
Hope it helps
waiting！！！！！！！！！！
