Try using Android Commander after mounting /system in the recovery menu.

depends. are you on the stock rom or a custom rom?
custom = just reflash the rom
stock = lets hope you have a backup. if you don't, you might as well flash a custom rom

Can't you take a backup of your ROM with Clockwork, reflash your stock ROM and restore just the data?

I also reckon that booting into recovery and simply restoring a NANDRROID backup is your best bet.
But, if this isn't possible then I think you need to be root when in ADB which is done with the su command
adb shell
su
(this should change the prompt, I think from # to $ or the otherway)

Make an update.zip of build.prop and flash
Or try qtadb

So 'su' stands for superuser??? I have superuser installed and working on my phone before this problem came.

qtadb looks like a good app but when it starts;
"adbd cannot run as root in productions so you cant do anything /system partition. Run anyway?"
I was thinking of a update.zip with my working build.prop but didnt really know what i was doing, If you know what your doing with update.zip's and its not to much trouble do you think you could knock it up for me if i send it to you?
Once again thanks for your reply's!!!

i've got a similar problem, on build.prop replacing via update.zip
i'll keep you informed...

[GUIDE] Properly Setting Up Root for Your X10

Okay, so I've noticed that this rooting method is a little unconventional. It works through a compromised Fota.pkg which has setuid on /system/bin/sh as root. This is not a very safe, as any application that runs sh will gain root access to your system. Scary... :S Anyway, in order to fix this we need to take a few steps.
It is important that you do these in order, otherwise you may lose root access
Install a proper SU with whitelist
1. Download http://bit.ly/aWgALL
2. Unzip the system folder.
3.
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb push system/bin/su /sdcard/su
adb push system/app/Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/su of=/system/bin/su
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chmod 6777 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
4. Reboot your phone.
Fix sh to not setuid to root
1.
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/sh
Properly install busybox
1. Here, it's easier to look for the busybox installer app from the market and then install from there. If you did everything correctly, then after you hit install in the busybox app a prompt will come up asking you to allow the app to have root. Hit allow.
You're done!
this might be stupid questions, i know. But where should I unzip the system folder that mentioned to? And where to type those command?

If you followed the root guide you can put it in the step 4 folder.
Then hit windows key + r and in the box type CMD
A console window comes up.
in the console window type cd <path.to.your.step.4.folder>
then go from there.

use "su" to get root access... allow when the Superuser Whitelist notification pops up.
it worked for me....followed the steps, after i downloaded the busybox app i opened it and a box popped up "Superuser Request", it had discription of the busybox app and then asked whether to allow or deny the request....i then checked the superuser app and was able to see the busybox app in thr....
can anyone confirm if these steps were added in the new root method? please

root in adb
I tried this on the last root (ROOT_F2v2) and I lost root in adb..
I still had regular root
I had to revert it back with "chmod 6777 /system/bin/sh" to get adb do admin task again.. (I use adb regularly)
Does anyone know how to secure sh and still have root in adb?
Regards.

Yes that give me root in adb shell but adb is still running unprivileged.
I believe it's because we can't patch the bootloader yet, so we still have getprop ro.secure 1. :'(
I did a little script to toggle setuid on /system/bin/sh when I'm doing root stuff from adb
Sent from my rooted X10i
I have installed this to protect the system.
The only concern I have is i cannot run for example my cleaning script.
If i type into cmd ;
"adb shell su" it comes up with a # and freezes. If i type in
"adb shell<enter>
su" it works fine. and i can paste all the commands in line by line.
If i do either in a bat or cmd file it crashes. How do i run scripts as su
Here are the answers....

No they were not. The reason is that many of the rooting steps rely on a setuid "sh"

So what? The uid for the shell application launched after invoking "adb shell" is not going to match any of the installed applications anyways. The thing is that Superuser.apk installs a mechanism by which the user (human) can detect when an application is requesting root access. Based upon the nature of the application you may or may not want to grant root access. That is the whole point.

Oh yeah? I just use "su" whenever I want root access... and I didnt have to write any scripts to enable/disable it.

Then you shouldn't be rooting in the first place. Take my advice, lay off the rooting. It definitely doesn't have anything that will be of advantage to you.

easy now, it's a fair question, would be nice to be able to run cleaning scripts on a protected system. no need to be a prick
in answer to the question though, once the batch starts adb shell, it won't continue till that process ends
I did some googling for some comandline tools that might allow sending keystrokes to a process, but nothing easy appeared, looks like your only option is to use a linux friendly notepad to create some shell scripts you can execute from the sdcard. i.e. on device
su
chmod 755 /sdcard/myscript.sh
./sdcard/myscript.sh
easiest way to do scripts on a secured root IMO

I want to install Xrecovery but...

The thing wont recognize my phone and wont show the options to do xrecovery or any of the other options except for Flash...please help im desperate for a rom
You need to root first.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196421
Then in flashtool click 'ask root permissions' and have your phone unlocked and accept superuser permissions w/the prompt on your phone. Then you're good to go.
*edit- make sure it is the fixed xrec for 2.3.3. I use a Rom w xrec included so I didn't have to install it & I dont remember if that's the one in flashtool now.

Just start all over with flashtool it will work then.
Go to settings then applications, then development, check debug mode.
Start flash tool on your pc and connect the phone
IF the phone is rooted, it should be recognized by flash tool
On flash tool click ask root perm, look at your phone screen, superuser should pop up asking if to give permission, simply choose allow.
Then click recovery on flash tool and wait a sec....
should pop up asking which gingerbread version to use. choose 0.3GB, since its gb version you have.
when you're ready to use xrecovery, restart the phone
as soon as the phone comes on and the first sony ericsson name comes up, keep pressing the back button, xrecovery will come up.
i did both kernel things...but the thing is it won't recognize my device as a rooted device...i have superuser and I have used apps that require root...so i guess the problem is well idk...and thats what i need help with sorting out.
1. Install busybox from market (xrec needs busybox)
2. Give root explorer root acces and mount /system writeable (look in settings of your file explorer)
3. Copy files to right place:
chargemon to /system/bin
charger to /system/bin
sh to /system/xbin
xrecovery.tar to /system/xbin
4. Give above files the right permissions (long touch on file and choose property option):
user > read, write, execute
other > read, execute
group > read, execute

Folder can't be deleted?

I installed the Galaxy S3 Retail Mode found in Google Play but had problems setting it up so I uninstalled it.
Now, I have a folder in /sdcard/ named RetailMode that contains photos used by the RetailMode application. But no matter what I do, I can't delete it. Can't delete any of the photos either.
I tried changing owners and changing permissions but failed. I even tried via adb shell.
Any ideas of how I can delete it?
Thanks in advance!

Could try running a KIES update or one of the Jellybean OTA's that will wipe the internal sd card
Are you trying to do so as root? If you open a terminal (download Android Terminal from the market) and run:
Code:
su
rm -rf /sdcard/RetailMode
(upper/lower case is important!) what is the output?
Yes. Tried via ConnectBot on the phone and adb. Issued the exact same command you posted.
The reply was: rm failed for -rf, No such file or directory
I wonder what the problem is...

Tried that first. No go.
Since Retail Mode is installed and activated as a Device Administrator, I think it modified some settings. I just don't know what those settings are.
I don't want to re-flash so hopefully someone can help me with this...

Install a BusyBox from the market (if you already have it, reinstall). if "rm" is trying to remove "-rf", it's NOT a standard "rm", which can explain your problems. Then try again.
After having followed the above: Should you get a "permission denied" as root (execute 'whoami' on the console to make sure you're root!)
then the file(s) is most probably flagged as immutable.
Executing the following will then resolve the issue: chattr -iR /sdcard/RetailMode
This is what I get when I issue that command: reading flags on /sdcard/RetailMedia: innapropriate ioctl for device

[Q] Used the toolkit and i have a q and an A

So I used the S3 toolkit by mskip and it's cool it's so fast lovely. One problem now I can't delete anything. I went to look for the answer.

However after restoring my SD using the "restore internal SD", my permissions appeared to be screwed up.
I could not delete/modify any file anymore on my internal SD. I got a lot of FC from apps.
What are the correct permissions and owner from the internal SD (=/data/media) ??
Did the toolkit change any permissions/ownership ? I thought I saw a " chmod 775 or 755" flashing on the terminal when restoring my SD (about the last command at the end, IIRC).
To get it working again, I did a :
Code:
su
chmod -R 777 /data/media/*
The owner from each file is now "root" (0), but my permissions are complete open (777)
Somehow this doesn't seem correct.... but I don't know.
So, again : what are the correct permissions and owner from the internal SD (=/data/media) ??
