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/51439105/08944..._F2v1.rar.html
http://rapidshare.com/files/40389214..._F2v1.rar.html

Step 1.5: Download this

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\U SB\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*
@adb shell rm /system/app/off*
@adb shell rm /system/app/play*
@adb shell rm /system/app/track*
@adb shell rm /system/app/EManual*

@adb shell rm /system/app/Launch*
@adb shell rm /data/app/*.zip
@adb shell rm -r /etc/semc/startupshow
@adb shell rm -r /etc/semc/preset/app

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/MediascapePluginManager.apk of=/system/app/MediascapePluginManager.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/MediascapePluginManager.odex of=/system/app/MediascapePluginManager.odex

step4 from that file

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?
