Root happened!. Now thread closed

do you know if the root will also apply to the x10 mini?

No, but the exploit is quite portabe, so maybe we could adapt it to x10 mini & pro...

@biktor_gj I have been playing for the last two days with compiling yaffs2 support into a vanilla linux kernel and going for the NAND block access.

Was i close? ;-)

If you need a test drive on an x10 mini, mini pro or the X8, let me know

What is that local app that you launched to show that you have root.....

I am totally new to this.....

It's just a console he launced - like the command prompt in windows

Heyy Guys

Right as you will all know, my hand has been forced by another x10 hacker to post my incomplete rooting guide for the x10. This method has worked previously but with a very low success rate!! If Bin4ry posts his method today (which I doubt) and his is safer I advise you use it! Still first method here

DISCLAIMER!!

We (GSMTribune, Neil, LordPhoenixSalvation, Mraellis, Alan) accept NO responsibility for your use of these files. We recommend you DO NOT follow this guide or attempt to use ANY of these files. They WILL brick your device. If you try to point the finger at us we WILL point at you and laugh our arses off. you have been warned, if you have ANY sense you WILL NOT use this guide or flash any of these files. The success rate is currently 4 in 15.

1. Restore Sony Ericcson x10 to the earliest firmware.

2. Install the modified SE Updater Tool

3. Flash X10 Radio Image with the SE Updater Tool

4. Flash X10 Recovery Image with the SE Updater Tool

5. Boot into X10 Recovery (Power + Answer Key)

6. Flash Modified X10 CyanogenMOD for X10

7. Enjoy Root!

All files for the root are avaliable here: *awaiting FTP connection*

I do not recommend you to flash this guys, stay frosty.

No.

For me it looks like his method will just Brick the X10s (like we can do since long) and that was it ...

DON't ever think of following this instructions directly !!!
Haven't you read?? This post is mostly done by request of some of the people from this thread.
GSMTribune itself is stating that this should not be done by anyone, for now. It's mostly a proof-of-concept.
We should wait what do the other 'team' (Bin4ry etc) have to do about this.

I'm afraid more than one poor dumb will fall for the rush and proceed to this, without carefully reading, that is almost a safe brick method...

kajkac · Jun 24, 2010

i know that a loot of people is waiting for this root so its better to wait a little bit more to get a tested stuff instead a bricked phone...

I wouldn't call it "proof-of-concept" as he didn't post any "proof" yet. As someone pointed out, if you look at his guide it says:

5. Boot into X10 Recovery (Power + Answer Key)

We don't have an answer key though. And how hard is it for him to post a pic of the X10 rooted when Binary posted a vid in like 5 secs after people requested it.

Yeah, I call bull. But on the other hand he also writes:

Could also be that he haven't come far at all in the rooting process and that's why he haven't posted any proof yet.

andy8271 · Jun 24, 2010

why have they wrote a guide and uploaded files that WILL brick peoples phones ?

all we wanted was a simple image showing root. yet there isnt one because he hasnt succeeded .

this whole thread has been turned to **** by this 'fake' root when it has no relation to binary and friends root and shouldnt even of been mentioned in this thread

shows how impatient some people are

Mod. edit:
CLOSED on OP request.
Everything of importance has been said for now and we don't want it to go OT as another thread here did.
Keep your questions and post them when root has been released (and no, I have no idea when that will be).
Best, DK
