Root...what is it - XPERIA X10 General

Hi all
I'm a noob to this techie stuff with mobiles and am using my first Smatphone. (yes the X10) I previously had a SE C905 and managed to de-brand it and after reading about the techie stuff behind root I wondered what are the actual benefits/disadvantages of rooting your phone?
I hope you can help answer this question for me please

Mod edit: not dev related, moved to general
btw, did you search already for that info? somehow expect that there are already some threads out here somewhere...

I suggest you to ask that question in the thread you are linking too.
Or google what it means.
Your question has nothing to do with rom cooking so I'm closing the thread.
Before you open a topic next time I recommend you to do a bit of reading first and check if the question isn't posted before
plus if you are posting in the right section.

hi reslan_912,
first up thanks for the support,
secondly i would suggest you to get involved with the community and read and react on what's there is general and Q&A section, you will soon be able to contribute on Dev section also.
I would prefer if we keep discussion in one thread so that everyone benefits.
as far as help i need is concerned,
I need someone to check which software can work which of them are causing problems. both at GUI and console level so that i can work on a customized image file containing only working software.
note : web/wpa cracking will not work so don't try that.

[Q] netfilter for x10 mini

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install Netfilter on my x10 mini. I have checked so many forums, and now I have so many programs on my phone that I have no clue which one I need. I have Netfilter on the SD card in the file manager. How do I go from here? Do I need to copy it somewhere? Or can I install a different ROM that supports Netfilter? Sorry, but I guess I am what you call a noob.
Thanks for your help!
For starters, going to the x10 mini forum would probably help
You post a x10 mini question in the x10 section, anf not only that you posted a qestion in both the general and themes and apps section
You sir need to re read the rules

Confusion Created in boardroom and disrespectfu to others

Hello to everyone
First i would like to thank all the people who have contributed and help other people in here with there problems.
Secondly after reading and reading i can't help to notice that the board is not organised and confusing to to members. A point in case is when i tried to read on adb and fastboot, i got people especially senior members point to 3 different threads relating to same thing and and steps somehow diffrently eg i got pointed
to 1.[GUIDE] ADB, Fastboot, and Nandroid for Noobs,
2.[Newbie Guide] adb/fastboot/bootloader/android 101
3. [Guide] Setting up ADB [Windows]
All this are guide, pointed out for you to and these guides talk in regards to their device in there specific device threads. Yet you are being pointed to them from arc threads. some of this threads mention requirements and one of the requirements is the device. so somebody coming from arc threas being pointed here gets bamboozled when he reads and find out it's talking on lets Say HTC phone. Really confusing and when a newbie ask a question, some senior members instead of answering politely, the answer as i see it rudely with sometime " see the links in my Signature"
I ask to these kind of people if u cant answer just dont answer better than saying "see the links in my signature" in which if u follow the link sometime u dont get ur answer.
Let other people answer the guy if u cant. Kindly see this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17893157 for you to understand. see how some people reply to the questioner and how others are disrespectful (as i see it). its only one page so it wont take much of your time.
Members and developers should collaborate together to create stickies on one unified guide in regards to all the aspects of arc.
lets say there should be sticky for Installing adb and fastboot for Arc, another unlocking the bootloader for arc or rooting for arc with bootloader unlocked and locked bootloader. These stickies should then be updated as new workaround or development emerge.
According to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034087 the arc bootloader can be unlocked free, but according to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037874 it cant and you have to pay in order to get it unlocked. Please anyone should read the the whole pages of the second link and he will see nowhere is mentioned that the booloader can be unlocked now for free.
Please my dear members if u cant answer just dont answer rudely as in case of this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17893157.
Thank You
