Hate to say it, but it sounds like a isolated issue. Thousands of people used the flash tool and superoneclick successfully. Are you sure you selected the next tab, "root permissions" after root? You need to do that to install SuperUser and Busybox.

Yeah it has to be either his computer or something he's doing wrong... works for literally everyone else who has tried

somethings totally borked.. im guessing adb/ driver issues, ive tried 2 different drivers, made sure adb is set up in env var. and included 64 bit java path, restarted phone and pc many times,

now all i get is adb cannot connect to daemon and protocol status errors.

i have SEUS and PC Companion 2.0 installed.

even when i had adb working, didnt seem to connect well in the root programs, but that doesnt explain why .apks like x10root dont work it says exploid launched and toggles wi fi off and on, but still nothing after reboot.

can anyone walk me back to 1.6, and maybe start from the beginning, I dont thin we can enable non-market apps on 1.6, but im hoping some root method would work and maybe i could keep root and update to 2.1??

i'll be searching around in the meantime.

thanks guys.

edit: why do i feel that Sony has some security in the drivers preventing connection?

yes also tried ask root permission after rooting with flash tool, and says waiting for device, it should pop up and ask me to allow but never does.

XP, maybe... Win7, should have no problems with usb drivers.

If it says root successful, what makes you think it wasn't? Does superuser appear in app tray?

Also, unknown sources needs to be ON, as well as usb debugging in settings / applications.

chrisrotolo · May 3, 2011

ive tried win 7 and xp, even running flashtool in compatibility mode, after root finishes wit flash tool I do not see superuser app, i can install it with astro, but more is needed than just the app.

i see the script to install superuser in flashtool, but i dont see the .apk in there anywhere, im using 0.2.8, yes ive tried 0.2.9.1 beta

yes usb debug and unknown sources are checked.

my SDK is on C:\

and i put any flash/root programs on root of pc in c:\ and run them as admin

ive also tried running them from desktop.

and as of now, still no adb? just cant connect and protocol status error.

just to make sure, let me check my wifes cappy in adb.

update: wifes rooted cappy works a charm, adb devices, show up right away, adb shell and su work instantly and ls shows file system, so Im 99% sure its not adb set up on my comp., aren't there adb files on the phone?, maybe these are corrupt?? somehow? idk?, or my drivers are not configured properly..

in device manager, it says sony ericsson sa101> under that it says..> sony ericsson sa101 ADB inerface driver, ive tried the lastest ones , from march and april 2011

If says root successful try installing superuser yourself.

Also, I would use flash tool 0.2.9.1 beta. Completely uninstall flash tool, SEUS, and PC Companion. Reinstall SEUS, run repair software. That will reinstall usb drivers. Then install flash tool 0.2.9.1 and root.

ADB is not required for flash tool. I would not have them in the same path.

chrisrotolo · May 3, 2011

tried running in safe mode with networking, nothing.

trying uninstalling everything and rebooting and using 0.2.9.1 beta flashtool right now, thanks!

update:

uninstalled evevrything, SE USB drivers, SEUS, PC Companion, and flash tool.

restarted pc and phone installed SEUS, repaired/re-installed software, fresh 2.1, ran falsh tool 0.2.9.1. , same old error: unable to identify device??????????, selected x10, ran ROOT, and finishes saying root should be available after reboot. after reboot, i have no superuser.apk or busybox.apk on app drawer, try running ask root perms from flashtool and says click allow, but of course i dont ge any allow message, because Im not rooted..

good night.

have to try again later, thanks everyone.

chrisrotolo · May 3, 2011

widh me luck, i think I may have a solution, I need the latest SDK, in the process its downloading every platform and API version ever, I think this may actually be the answer. Will post back soon.

all the lastest sdk doesnt work either, yes I updated my adb path, too.

oh well will try on my xp computer at work.

peace guys!

chrisrotolo · May 3, 2011

latest sdk r10 with platform-tools r3, x10 drivers from SE support site, still getting adb cant connect to daemon errors.

That aside, x10root.apk doesnt work, and neither does SOC or Flashtool.

Someone please tell me should I flashtool generic 1.6, and hope to root on 1.6?

Lion3494 · May 3, 2011

My gosh. Bro when u root you have to reboot the phone then install busy box. If you don't have superuser after you root then install it from the market. But you have to reboot

chrisrotolo · May 3, 2011

yeah , thanks buddy Im well aware of that as I said previously superuser doesnt seem to get installed during root, and I have rebooted, many times. I am still trying, I cant even find 1.6 .ftf, to revert back. If i try to download flashtool from phone, it says this type of file is not supported( maybe certificate issues ).

OK, how about some one with a rooted 2.1 pull system.img, boot.img, and anything else I might need and bundle a rooted 2.1 *.ftf fo me, can this be done??

about the only thing I have done successfully is go to generic 2.1

@Lion3494, I have rooted many devices, I'm not a beginner, just new to X10. I have tried installing Busybox after reboot and guess what it tells me? not rooted.

Im not mad, a little upset, but mostly confused... and determined!

Use SEUS and go through the process. Also install PC companion. This should fix the driver issue. Then uninstall the su app or factory rest the phone. Then try rooting through the flash tool . Make sure C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin is added to the path in environmental variables.

chrisrotolo · May 3, 2011

done , done and done. already tried all that, honest probably more than once.

would give you thanks for replying but im limited to 5 a day.

realunited123 · May 3, 2011

Real Madrid just lost to Barcelona

Strange! Maybe try using a different firmware and try again ..

chrisrotolo · May 3, 2011

sure, which one global 2.1??, wont I have to include a different baseband and compile a new bundle then flash with flashtool? I'll try it I guess.

realunited123 · May 3, 2011

Usr 504 X10a generic from the flash tool thread. Use z4root to root it.

chrisrotolo · May 3, 2011

ok will do, wish me the best!

chrisrotolo · May 3, 2011

We Haz Root!

Woo Hoo! I love you XDA! WE HAZ ROOT!!

used 504 x10a generic, not sure if that did it or...
using flashtool 0.2.8, first flash says incorrect drivers... was told to install the ones using Gordons gate, bundled with flash tool, once i ran that .exe, finally it seemed to like those drivers, and finally automagically recognized my x10 in flashtool.
knew I would be golden from there. rooted with flashtool.

So thanks you to everyone! I got busybox and superuser, ran optimize, installing xrecovery now and on to the ROMS!

sweet!

Thanks again and sorry for the big hassle, just following the AT&T post which said to use 435 or whatever.
