Will root really be achieved? - XPERIA X10 General

Hello guys...
I'm only asking this because I just bought the phone 4 days ago, and I can still send it back, and go for the HTC Desire (which I think i should have done at first place...)
Is root achievable? I mean, you guys are trying to get root or you WILL get root?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not rushing you guys! I just want to make sure before I give this phone back...
Btw, if u guys need something, I'm here to help, anything u guys need to test, i can test it on my phone....
Thanks!

as of right now who knows it could be days month years who knows when, your better off with the HTC,

man your guess is as good as mine.. starting to get frustrating.. I might go and switch to the desire as well..
Faith keeps me strong! lol

you should consider the change, you shouldn't count with the root in your decision since nobody knows when. but ill tell u something:
- I much prefer LED than AMOLED (Desire). Although LED is "spender", uses more battery and less "vivid, when you are out, just under the sun rays, on AMOLED screens you don't see any bit... moreover it's 4'' versus 3.7
- Although Desire camera still being good, Xperia is awesome.....
- i'd like more stetically speaking Xperia than Desire. Although i dont like so much physical bottons on the bottom
For me it's not the end the rooting... Im still having all the programs I need and use more often (copilot, sport tracker, music player, browser and mail. for me it's enough). stetically 2.1 and 1.6 are the same, and for me doesnt provide us that much more everybody speaks about....
If i could choose i'd prefer nexus one, i'd like more the shape of the bottom part, more rounded and i think fits better on a single hand (xperia could result a bit difficult)
I wouldn't pay many more for the trade....

what do you want root for ?
is it only for tethering, installing new firmware and some more fluff ?
Stick with your x10 if it is only for those 2 reasons. You can tether with some payd software ( free if you don't use any sort protected connection , https )
you're gonna maybe impress your friends for a minute or 2 and you will get sick of changing firmware every single days
magic/dream favorite users firmware = cyanogen rom because it simple , fast and no fluff
you won't care about 2.2 fluff after a week or 2
you won't impress any girls with some soft fluff. You're phone body AND your own body might impress girls
Now
a good reason to go with another phone might something like mini usb ? do you like mini usb ?
Finally
XPERIA X10 General
Discussion about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 (general Q&A, tips & tricks)

it depends on your needs ,x10 recently has no root and may be forever ,but it is a good pice of hardware better than desire in every point of comparison but the problem that will face the x10 may be in the coming few monthes is the support allot of apps are going to require android 2.1 as a minimum requirement ,and as we all know sony will not update until the end of the year and for 2.1 only ,at this time all phones will be carring 2.2 and may be 2.3 so you will face compitability issues again ,if you care for a long time support that is achived by root then go for desire ,if not and you care more for hardware go for x10 . best wishes with your choice

There is more than meets the eye with 2.1 and especially 2.2. instead of just extra fluffiness.

The question here is if anyone is working on rooting X10. I don't miss to many functionalities anyway, the only thing I am scared is that 1.6 will be less and less supported with new applications in the market. By that time hopefully 2.1 will appear.

HELLO?? android 2.2... there are so many improvements over 1.6 for eg. support for FLASH!
removing all the random sh*t that SE has put like moxier etc. And the sheer joy of having better faster and sleeker roms which will really take the x10 to a whole new level.
I love my x10 and inspite of ppl telling me otherwise, i think its a great phone with immense potential. But as I see it, we're using the phone at 50% capacity.
For ppl who dont think root is important, you dont know wat ur talkin about.

+1 to you guy.

I guess you guys don't get the irony in this post?! You are so obsessed with that root??! Relax. Apparently SE have done good job securing the device. I wish they have spent their efforts making software it runs as good as the security is... No root would have been necessary then

I found teh irony when I read the ashman's post, after I posted ^^

What i want from root is to take out from my phone all the SE rubbish that came with the phone like Moxier and the rest... and also to run better roms, that will run faster and better on this phone than this crap that came loaded into it..
Last but not the least, be capable of running the software at full capacity, ie, all the memory that this phone have... i don't see any reason why SE have released a phone with that amount of memory with a software that doesn't support it... some may say that SE were thinking on the upgrade to 2.1 at the end of the year, but wait, WHY THE HECK do i have to wait till the end of the year to have an OS that will be already obsolete by then...
The only reason I'm keeping this phone, is because it is an awesome piece of hardware... i really like it.. although I'm gonna really regret it when i find out that SE was lying when said that they are working on the battery life issues...
I really hope that they change their mind and upgrade it to 2.2 or even 2.3 if it is avaiable...
And also hope that it doesn't come loaded with their stuff, like timescape and moxier... i just want the clean and pure Android OS, without any additional crap... I know that it will only be achieved by root anyways... IF root comes...

i simply do not understand why those big companies made such phones... neither is perfect... and why is that? don't they have resources?... i am so frustrated!

^ Dude its market strategy. If they make the "perfect" Phone. No one will buy the other phones they got. It's marketing style for MONEY

it is a big problem with me ,all my friens said that ,and it starts with me since htc promised wp7 for hd2 ,but microsoft refused because of the number of buttons it has i never trusts oem any more
I am not really familiar with rooting.
Does it actually mean we can install the plain android (2.1 or 2.2?) once someone figure how to root X10?
Sorry to be a pessimist but i truly doubt that there ever will or was root at the X10. Also the try via SETool i don't believe there ever was root archived (anyone seen proof for it ?). Sounds like a Fake to me. So after watching the whole "progress" it seems we have the first Android Device which cant be rooted. Means for us to wait in patient for SE updates and maybe we get 2.2 next Year in June. :-( so what i guess I'm going to sell my X10 as long i can still get some Money for it.

why are you being so negative in ever single root thread ? do you think the rubbish you are spouting is helping anyone ? well its not... so please stop. must the stuff you have been saying is total rubbish. like your ''it will never get root because it is not a popular phone'' comment in the other thread. its the top selling smartphone asia has ever had and it is selling amazingly well in the UK too
The motorola milestone has been out for AGES and it has not been rooted yet (technically, I think it's the bootloader that is locked...pretty much the same in terms of results).
So the X10 is not an isolated case.
What I don't understand is why these manufacturers don't realise that by making it so hard to root their phones they are actually hurting their own sales.
My only hope, regarding the X10, is that since the phone has sold 160k units in Jpana, someone might be able to root it over there.

HD2 to X10?

I'm quite happy with my HD2 but would really like to have a better camera. Since X10 seems to be a real upgrade on this aspect I'm wondering if I can sync my Outlook Mail as I have on the HD2. Does anyone have this working well?
moxier mail.. it sync with outlook exchange...
don't make my mistake by leaving hd2 and going to x10 ,x10 is allot superior than hd2 ,you will feel bad eith x10
hoss, you mean don't buy the X10, stay with the HD2?

I've had an HD2, and yes it is may seem a better device because htc put so much shiny software on it...
- but the HD2 camera sucks
- the touchscreen of the HD2 is worse
- the X10's screen performs better in sunlight
- The X10 is better to hold in your hand (because of the curvature)
- The X10 is way prettier (subjective though)
- and I think the overall experience of the X10 is better.
(my stock HD2 with only spb keyboard installed needed a reboot a few times a week....my X10...never).
I am very happy I traded in my HD2 for an X10

And I wouldnt believe him. It depends on that you want from the phone, hes just whining child going from thread to thread ant whining how bad the phone is and that it'll never get root.
sorry but windows mobile is trash, no matter what ui you put on it.
I wouldn't say Winmo is trash but I believe Android is going to make great strides as a mobile OS.
I just moved from X1 with a custom winmo 6.5 (which is excellent thanks to Wild Child) to a X10 because I wanted to run Android for awhile.
It's only been a month but I am enjoying it.

shut up junior member ,iam not like a child ,and this is not only my opinion it is of allot who tried both ,windows is a mature os even the updates that android 2.2 has ,already included in windows from years, and yes without root you will stuck with shi#ty os for the rest of your life so in all ways hd2 is better (juniour member )
Ive been using winmo for past 3years, and THERE IS NOTHING in there that is better than android, i hate it, user friendlyness = zero. If u hate your xperia so much, THEN SELL IT, and dont whine anymore, you miserable thing, because u look pathetic, crying like a lil baby in every single thread how bad your phone is..

Go ahead and make fun of "junior members" when everyone here speaks better English than you. I skip over your posts half the time because it's pointless to read them.
To the OP, I just got rid of my HD2 and my x10 will be coming in shortly so I can tell you whether or not it was worth it for me so that you can judge your decision from there.

xperia x10 final doubt

hello
today i'm going to buy my new phone because i've sold yesterday my samsung i8910. i was going on the htc desire but i've see that xperia is already rootable. thanks to that. can you tell me if now, with the root, we will have2.1 sooner than we expect and custom roms? the hardware of the xperia is better than the desire but i was going on the desire because of the faster and more actual os. thanks
The X10 is NOT rooted yet people working on it but it is difficult.
so what's your opinion, should i go for the xperia and wait for the root or should i buy the desire?

its risky. the X10 might never get rooted. however.
X10 rooted = million times better than desire/nexus
X10 not rooted = POS you should avoid. unless the phone design is the only thing matters to you
I have my hopes up for the froyo petition, especially answer to that. Ofc nothing confirming but atleast it was'nt a defenitive no.. still, if you want an up to date phone X10 is not your choice as of right now. Sad thing couse its one damn fine device and im pleased with it, but ofc i'd like to see some updates soon

serious hardware that is crippled by an outdated OS. if it would get 2.1 or if the OS gets a fix for the laggy interface, i would say it's a good buy.
you should wait and see what's up.
because if this phone is rooted, it's a different ball game.
So, what ods am i looking?i'm afraid i buy the desire and tomorrow the x10 gets rooted. Lol. I've read that paul is working on this. Should i have hope on paul?

lol SE have alot to answer for what a let down. Mind you I think if SE announced another fantastic android handset to be launched, with better specs then x10, i fear most people would probably fall for that aswell.
people need to stop moaning . x10 does everything it needs to do and does it great. the only lag is when using timescape (and se promise to fix this in the next update as they managed to make it not lag on the x10 mini and mini pro). i dont use timescape anyway
with the htc ime keyboard my x10 is great. i will only start feeling let down when everyone else is getting 2.2 and working flash. at the moment though im having no problems at all with SEs version of 1.6
also got to consider that x10 is about £100 cheaper than a desire/nexus one
root will come
Unless the prices have dropped the last i checked x10 was more expensive then desire.

i've checked paul's twitter and i've seen is last message saying "Gah, every time I think i've cracked the X10 root, it slips away! :-(
about 18 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone "
what does this means?
It means that he believed he was so close to root it but something happened and he didn't.
I guess he didn't give up.

Xperia x10 Multi-touch and updates after 2.1

Hey guys,
I guess I'd share this with you.
I sent a mail to SE asking them about a more specific explanation regarding the multi-touch function. I also asked them about if they plan to keep updating the Xperia after 2.1.
What they said in reply to the multi touch part is that the X10 handset does not support the MT feature.
"This requires two layers of the capacity screen for this feature to be added succesfully which the handset does not have. The handset only has one layer of capacitive touch screen."
I don't know about the technical stuff, so maybe somebody over here can confirm this.
Their reply to the update part was that they haven't got any further information regarding any other updates until after the release of the Android 2.1 update. So it is still a guess.
What they did say is that 2.1 will be released in the UK before the end of September. So it is indeed several weeks away, if they are telling the truth.
These subjects are getting annoying now i understand that MT is a feature that lots of people want but my question to these people is why didnt u buy a phone with MT in the first place now for the 2.1 update we know its coming very soon so just be patient its not that big a deal i love my x10 and if it wasnt getting 2.1 id still love it also as for updates after 2.1 y dnt u just wait and see we aint got 2.1 yet and ur already thinking about whats gonna happen after that anyway thats just my thoughts
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
how about dual touch? does it require 2 layers of the capacity screen as well?
maybe we will get the missing layer by mail.
then we will have multitouch.

I believe a lot of people thought the lack of MT was probably due to 1.6 rather then SE deciding not to put in the hardware to support it. Who could blame them when devices from other companies had hardware support for MT well before the X10 came out. I bet a lot of people who bought the X10 were told that MT would be available with a software upgrade, hell even SE's US web site says the X10 has multi-touch.
I would love to know what the reasoning was behind not adding MT support. Was it SE saying we can get these hi res non MT screens for cheap, that no one wants & put them in our flagship Android device? If that is the case it makes me wonder if SE isn't on life support & desperate to cut corners anywhere they can to save money.

I really hope and hold my fingers crossed that we NEVER get MT on this X10 and that SE sends each of you whiners a private letter telling you that there wont be MT for X10...like it isnt bad that we wait 6 months for 2.1 like mentaly retarded fools are working for SE...

Ur probably right m8 but people should also look at specs and reviews before they rush out and spend tho i belive MT wasnt implemented because of apple and the recent law case against htc i think SE didnt want all the hassle but i could be wrong

The lawsuit stuff may be a reason not to include MT but that could be accomplished through software. If I was working at SE I would have included the hardware support & at least left the door open to turning on the support later. Doing it this way just makes SE look cheap IMO.
I don't find MT a very useful feature but one that doesn't get in my way when doing other things, so I'm indifferent to it.
I agree with others there is no need to have all these different threads all talking about MT.

I assume that by "mail" you mean you mean through the post as clearly they couldn't email you another capacitative layer electronically?!!!

Pfff, you people should be happy you only hear this in the forum. Imagine living with a whiner. (me)
So kittens are killed hm? I don't care about that.
If it were puppies... but it's only about kittens
Even though it's worthless making a fuzz about it, since it doesn't change **** to the hardware of the x10 or SE implementing it sooner if possible.
Having that said, it is a disgrace that SE after almost 5 months since the release of the experia still dares to put up a big lie on their US website claiming the X10 does support multitouch. Such a thing is not an accident, the're not complete morrons at SE, it is purposely put there to mislead consumers into believing they are gonna be buying multitouch devices.
I'm really happy with my x10, but I find it a bit embarracing the way SE deals with information about the features and softwareupdates/bugfixes (like poor volume).
I think the people who care the most are those porn addicts who like to pinch and zoom the naked "whatever."
Please no more Kitten killings. Oops, I just did that.

Thinking about the DHD

Hey guys. I'm just wondering if you guys would recommend stock DHD for a user? I have been reading the forums for a while and most everybody has rooted and changed roms and radios. I don't know if I would be comfortable with it at first. Would you guys still recommend the DHD to a person who wouldn't root it or hack it? I'm sick of my icrap. I don't want to invalidate the warranty. But I want a good machine from the start.
Opinions?

from what i can say, with or without custom rom, the dhd is a top device and fast enough
the rooting, custom rom and radio thing is just for people who want to get the maximum out of the device
its stock still a very good device

Well if u aint gona root it and install homebrew then buddy i am suggesting HTC SENSTATION 100% .... its gona be released mid may or 1st june... its a much better cell phone... i am getting it myself
I got my DHD for about a week now and rooted it the day after I got it and actually the only reason at that moment for me to do so was because I got a lot of stock apps and trials (seriously.. Don't put 2 minute trials in it!), but I played around all day and all night with it and although my custom rom is better than stock, it's still a great phone!
But as Leather|Face already mentioned, there is a new wave of HTC phones coming out pretty soon which are better, so you might want to wait if you have the patience
The DHD is the best HTC device at the moment and although there is the sensation around the corner something better is always on the horizon. Even stock it's a great device.
Haven't touched my DHD after a month, , it is unlocked and unbranded, the only reason I'll probably mess with it is to get rid of all the social networking crud and other software I don't want, that's built into it.
Seems pretty good stock to me.
Hey guys ... i've done a lot of reading and still scared as hell to root and flash homebrewed rom on my DHD since i've never done that b4... i've found a LOT of instructions and guidelines on "how to" ... but still i'd ask if any1 of you expirienced rooters would take a moment and post or PM me a really really detailed guide on how to root and flash custom rom such as CM7 with 2.3.3 and links to all thw tools i need. I've had desire and now dhd, but never rooted a phone. I would appreciate if any1 could do this favour. I'm a noob, but still, none of us were born with all sorts of abillities, and we gotta learn it somehow ...
Thx.

The guides around are top notch and pretty much noob proof, you'd really have to 'try' and brick your device. If you need even more depth instructions I'm going to venture out there and say maybe rooting isn't for you. I had no idea about anything, did reading in the morning and was flashing kernels by night. Just follow the instructions!
I do have the patience. I'll wait for the sensation that's coming out first on Vodafone . Another month with i****. Oh well xD. I bet though the reviews will point out some major flaws. I've been reading about the lg optimus 2x and it has a lot of flaws. Same with the se arc. I also considered those two. This htc model has the least amount of complaints as far as I can see. but I'll wait another month. thanks guys.

In your situation I'd probably do the same. As someone else said, there's always something "better" coming along but, in this case, it's nearly here so you may as well wait a few weeks.
Regarding the OP though, my DHD was acquired last October unbranded and unlocked, but I haven't rooted it. Just set it up as I want it and installed the apps that made my life easier. It'd be nice to be able to zap the apps. I don't want (the unsociable networking apps have been mentioned above ... ) but set them to 'not sync' and they may as well not be there anyway (as I don't have a faceplant or twatter account they couldn't sync anyway ).
Enjoy the new phone!

Rooted or unrooted desire HD is too awesome. The only reason I rooted was because I got bored . However I would definitely recommend rooting to get the most out of your phone.
Like other people are saying, maybe it might be better if you hold of for the sensation if you want a stock phone.
I'd wait for the HTC Sensation because i've too much problems with my DHD.
Misaligned parts, blurry camera, crappy sound through speaker and headphones.
But despite my problems the DHD also has A LOT of great things: great Speed, LOTS of RAM, huge ROM, a really great display (I prefer the LCD of the DHD over the AMOLED of the Desire).
I brought my DHD at Feb. I didn't do anything to it (util the end of March).
But I'm still very satisfy with it's performance.
Maybe Sensation will have better performance due on better hardware....
For DHD, I still think it a phone with great C/P.
I was afraid to root my DHD at the very first.
But I found out that's actually very easy by fallowing the instruction on this forum.
Now I'm flashing different ROMs and apps into my phone and trying different tricks mentioned by other friends.
You will love it, once you root it ~~~ XD

But once you brick it, you will cry until the last drop of your tears..lol
Well I'm trying really hard to hold out . So I'm going to wait for the sensation. I hope it gets fantastic reviews.

wait for the sensation, it solves 80% of the issues with the dhd , the htc sensation and the galaxy s II are the creme de la creme of android dual core phones!

I think you really have to try hard to brick the phone, as long as you can follow simple instructions then you will be fine .
There are tonnes of guides/videos/faqs littered all over the internet on how to root the DHD. There really is no reason to be scared of doing it. I would also reccomend doing it sooner rather then later, as then you don't have to worry about backing up what you have already put on your phone.
Contradicting what others have said above me, I actually don't like the DHD as stock. Sense seems to me to be very shiny and pretty, but it's slow(ish) and filled with rubbish I didn't want. I flashed CM7 when it came out a few weeks back, and haven't looked back since. It just feels so much more responsive, and it's nice to have the latest version of Android (2.3.3), which we are still waiting to see from HTC.
I would strongly recommend the Desire HD, as I think it really is one of the best phones on the market, but I also recommend rooting and putting a different ROM on it too.
