[Q] Can SE 2.3.3 be rooted?? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sorry if this has been covered, I've been off the scene for a while so flame me by all means! I have read through the forum but cannot find anything directly relating to this.
I used Doomlords files to upgrade to 2.3.3, installed the image with xRecovery and then flashed the files with Flashtool. Been using for the last couple of days but today I flashed the phone with SEUS and have lost root. Numpty!
Can I root SE 2.3.3 or do I need to downgrade to back to generic 2.1 and reinstall Doomlords files to have root again??
All I want is stock SE 2.3.3 but with root!

I hope the root wil be here soon the last time they rooted it in a day...

yes you will have to go back to 2.1 and install the prerooted for now.

Thanks for the quick reply, downloading generic 2.1 now!

np^^ I just flashed Wolfbreaks GB now, since it has everything included, should be working well, I don't think it makes any difference if it's prerooted or "post"-rooted.

[Q] Did I do it wrong? (GB question)

I think I messed up. I updated to 2.3.3 using SEUS for my X10, and now I want to install Wolfbreak's TW GB ROM, but I'm not sure how to root this new firmware. Did I mess up or is there a way around this?

Xperia X10, can't root >< Please help

Hey guys, I've recently rooted my phone which is original Xperia X10A which was great, i had flash on Wolf_GB-2.3_tw_v4 which had work great until i rebooted my phone, half the original apps aren't working, i can't even send or recieve messages, if i go to send one it just says error, the wi-fi is error. I figured that if i reflash it should work again but in order to do that i require to root the phone again "which is now reading as a model X10i" I've tried the Doom Flash method but it didn't work to which i had tried twice but no luck, i can't hard reset cause it just goes back to the flash version also the SEUS just says no update is avaiable. PLease help me as i wanna root it again to either reinstall or flash a different rom on.
If your running WB rom your phone is rooted. Just flash your backup rom and reflash. Did you back up your apps with titanium? Did you wipe all your data?

yeah, i wiped the data clean but for some reason it keeps telling me that my phone is no longer rooted and everyone time i try to install xrecovery it comes up with sorry, the application xrecovery has stopped unexpectedly all the time ><
Have you tried flash tool to return to a stock rom and then root? Or even a prerooted rom?

Using pc companion or seus gives you the option to "install anyway" even if there is no update.
That will give you latest SE firmware.
From there use DooMLoRD's root method.

yeah i tried it but it said that there was no update for my phone even when i went into the repair, would this be beacause of the firmware upgrade?
You didn't get a "install anyway" prompt? If not then check out the link I posted.

You just have to start all over Re-flash back to stock/generic firmware/Rom/BB 2.1.1./Root/xrecovery.
Then login to market then reboot phone.
Go to your Sony software do a repair reboot phone.
Then go to the how to on the Rom you want (if it's Wolfs it is rooted but uses xRecovery 0.3 GBready) and all the links are below just DO NOT MISS a step or you will be doing it all over again but at least you'll know what to do.

.62fw rooted with CWM - My way

Hi
If you follow the forum you will find some posts of me trying to have last fw .62 rooted with CWM working. Even if some users can do it by OTA, other by other process I never have total success but like most of you…I simple wont to have last fw .62 working, rooted and with CWM also working. The best I get was .62fw rooted but without CWM working and if install fw.62 by the traditional way I just get SE logo and have to flash it again.
After several times I finally have it work…
The only thing I have so far is that I believe I flash what I think is last baseband and after I flash it my computer says I have a new fw to install!!
This process is using pieces of ideas from others so I just get a way of put all together and have it working for me and decide to share with you.
Like always you can try it at your own responsibility.
Fist you should have .42 fw installed.
Root it.
Install CWM XPERIA from market (not the traditional way)
Download this and put it on your SD card: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sea...tloaderlock/generic/generic620.2.zip/download
Reboot NEO on CWM and install the file.
Reboot your phone and install the previous downloaded file.
At this time you have fw .62 without kernel.
Reboot your phone again and again go to the icon of CWM and reinstall again CWM.
Put you phone off again and flash just the .62 kernel. You can use .62 complete fw and choose only to install kernel.
At this point you should have .62 fw with .62 kernel.
On my case I install CWM again just in case.
If you reboot and press down volume you will have access to CWM.
I flash what I read that was last baseband using this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?tfd8bdbdrcd4bpq (after that my computer advice me to update phone…don´t know way)
For those that consider my guide too nooby…guys was the only way I found…sorry.
For those that somehow contribute with links to have it compiled I thank them.
Regards

[Q] how to update 62 to 73FW

Hi to all,
i have my new xperia s (its great), anyway i already unlock the bootloader (thanks to DooMLoRD and Sony), now my question is how do i update my fone with 62 fw to 73 fw cause it seems that 73 fixes the battery problem?
is there anyone can also give me the link for the 73fw as well as its instructions?
also, once the ICS is release for xperia s is there no conflict once i updated my version to 73?
thanks in advance.
edit: nevermind about the link i found it
edit: thanks for everyone in this forum. now i have successfully updated my xperia s from .62 to .73 and now its rooted. and now il wait for the ICS
i do not know if i will install cfw but for now there is a huge improvement in battery. , maybe il stick to the pre-rooted fw and wait for the ICS before installing any CFW.
May I know how?
May I know that, how you upgraded your firmware from .62 to .73 since you have unlocked the bootloader?
Do you flash the pre-rooted firmware by yourself?
What is your ori generic fw? For me I really hard to find my own country fw...
Here it is

ive downloaded the orig ftf (for backup), you can choose whatever you like but i choose the sg ftf and the pre rooted firmware of sg.
first you need a flashtool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588586
and then u need the ftf (orig and pre rooted)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
and for the instructions on flashing the original firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
and for flashing the pre-rooted firmware (look for post by 4lex96 i think its the 4th post on third page)

Still stuck myself for decision...
Thank you for your info 1st. This give me a guide how to "ROOT" my SXS.
However, after flash in the .73 SG generic firmware, will I face problem while the official ICS update launch?
Is it at that time I will need to wait someone to pack the ftf and upload here then I just can update to ICS?
Haih, headache...
Also plan to use DoomKernel (Advanced Stock) to easily root the phone, dunno what problem will happen...

i thinks theres no problem on getting the ics update its just that the update that youre getting will be based on SG firmware.
yeah i think so too that once the ics is release they will upload here a ftf for it.
i'd tried the doomkernel (advanced stock) last week have no problem at all,
but im on a ROM now so i installed the doomkernel 04a, by the way im using
KAspeed ROM.
anyway if u flash the stock advanced kernel, you can always get back to stock by flashing the original kernel from the stock firmware.
Thank you again.
Well thank you again for the info.
I will try it in this few days, hehe.
btw, you used and using DoomKernel right.
If I flash back the original kernel from advanced kernel, will I lost root and the recovery?

im sure that you will loose recovery but about the root i dont know, if u flash the pre rooted firmware before the doomkernel and then go back to stock maybe the root will not disappear but im not sure havent tried.
Thank you.
Okay. Roughly I got the idea about it.
Now I try to root the firmware that I packed out. Still learning.
Still got long way for the ICS update yet. Haha
Thank you.

[Request] Stock 1.6 E10i ftf

Hi people
It's simple, i need the stock 1.6 for X10 mini E10i in ftf format to flash it through flashtool, i tried with SEUS to get the stock but it says i already have the latest version and it doesn't give the option to install stock version anyway, so i need to do a downgrade, i've looked in xda, htc mania and many other pages that appeared in google but there is not 1.6 ftf version available only broken links, so if someone still have it please update it. I can't use the smartphone cause it keeps looping in the bootloader i can just flash with flashtool but even though i tried with nAa kernels to flash custom roms it still loop in boobloader.
I really need that stock rom to downgrade
Please help
Thanks
Not sure that will do you any good. If you're stuck in a bootloop with both your original firmware and with custom firmware your phone probably is broken somehow.
But, the easiest way to get to the repair option in SEUS is to disconnect your phone and choose update. It can't find your phone so it will give you a repair option. Just follow the instructions from there.
Failing that: Here is a 2.1 firmware for flashtool.
Nevermind, i fixed it already, just tried a couple more times with nAn 14 and flashing my latest backup. Besides i had the 2.1 in ftf and flashed it but didn't work, that's why i needed 1.6, so the update option could be available.
But thanks anyway
