Any time you get an OTA update, you have to re-root. Just do the same root process you did before to get root and you'll be fine again.

Just throwing this out there, give it another go? That sounds like a cruel thing to say to someone who Im sure has been trying but maybe just maybe....... I am hoping it works for you becuase I rooted without taking the update first and now I am stuck with that dang warning notification and would like the newest firmware anyways. Good luck.
that bootloader thing is about a ***** huh?
EDIT!
I just accepted the update after restoring the files I deleted from system/app and of course lost my root, but it took all of 2 minutes to redo the root process and now all is well in root world. Taz, you should be able to reroot with no problem.

thanx guys ,, went to bed after try 15 times lol woke up this morning .. and it worked , got root again
well i got root but cant use adb commands
Get permission denied. Is this normal for the droid?
I have the eris also. And can use adb commands.sorry if this is stupid
Should be able to use adb commands. Battery pull, then try again? Not sure, assuming you rooted from your computer, adb should be set up correctly, but now you can't use adb? But if you didn't use that computer to root then just need to follow the steps to set it up

Does unrooting the phone actually let you run the update because currently I am not able to run the update successfully and I am rooted. (I had removed some stock apks but have since replaced them all accept for the need for speed apk)
Also to unroot your self just delete superuser.apk?
Hey guys.
First of all, I am totally newb in rooting mobile devices. So maybe i've done something wrong.
Well... Yesterday i went to my sisters and her boyfriends house. He started messing around with my girlfriends HTC Wildfire, and he got it rooted in, practically, no time.
Then he started messing around with my X10. But we ran into some troubles.
He downloaded z4root and moved it to my SD card. Then he tried running it, just like he did on the wildfire, my sisters X10mini and his own Desire. We waited a little time and then z4root closed, and nothing more happend. We rebooted the phone and tried again. Same thing. Ok. We didn't go further there. Ofc he checked debugging and stay awake.
When we got home, i started looking for some guides myself, and i found a guide on xperiax10.net (can't link due to safety restrictions on this forum) But i needed to connect the phone to my pc, and download a exploid file. Then the rest happens in command promt from windows7.
It all went fine until i reached the step where I should text in "rootshell". Then i got the message: "Rootshell: Permission denied"...
Okay. I tried searching on for some other guides and programs. Then i got here. And now i have tried, if not all, then most of the guides here. Nothing in SuperOneClick works (tried 4 or 5 different versions), followed all the troubleshooting included in the guides (uncheck and check debugging and so on) and absolutely nothing seems to work
My x10 is running Android 2.1-update1, version 2.1.A.0.435
The phone is still running, but i can't figure out, why I can't root it. Want to get rid of all the pre installed apps and tweak it more.
Have i missed something, or is my phone just ****ed?
Any help is much appreciated. I'm lost here, and feels like i have tried anything.

Hey, I actually went into the same problem. and from what i've read. other users running the same firmware has run into this problem. So my guess is that with z4root, your x10 is currently 'unrootable', try using that superoneclick one. Someone claims he got .435 rooted

So basically... If i downgrade the firmware, I should be able to root it?
And regarding the superoneclick. I've tried 4 or 5 different versions. And i CAN'T get it running. So unless i'm doing something wrong, i doubt that he has rooted it?
Try the latest flash tool (0.2.6). It worked for me. Im running .435. I hope this help. Cheers.

Have you tried a different USB port? Sounds like your computer doesn't detect that you connect the phone?
I've just installed elelinux, everything looked good, but when i restarted my phone i got this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAZzZaYc97E
From then i can't use my phone, i have to go back to 2.1 with flash tool to start over.
Before i had the same problem with miniCM and with floyo. Why is that happening? Someone help me PLS.
Hmm interesting.
First, try factory reset in xrecovery.
And if u cant access recovery try push twice power off button, when se logo appears

OK i just got this phone today and want to get miui demonspeed on it. I know i have to root and all that but not sure whats guides to read exactly. I have a vibrant thats rooted and with miui as well but not to sure on the mytouc. What exactly do i ahve to do to get my mytouc right out of the box to miui. Thank you.
well if you know you have to root i guess your on the right track. Id say check out the post on the good emmc vs the bad one (in the general section) and determine which you have first. If its the bad one then you'll prolly not want to root at all.
If its the good one then you'll need to
1.perm root
2.flash clockwork
3.backup everything
4.wipe
5.flash Miui
6.Sit back and enjoy

1.You have the bad chip/EMMc not the good one from ol sammy
2.You 'll need to use gfree method, visionary doesnt work...
3.That chip is prone to hi rates of failure check forum and brothers of MT4G...
4. Be extra careful with flashing
5. After you're rooted, you just flash the rom like on your sammy

This is a false statement, as there has already been a case of completely stock M4G2DE chip failing with no root whatsoever - which means, whether you root it by root.sh or by gfree, it'll still be prone to failure.
The root guides are in Development section.

the bad eMMC chip....visionary (root.sh) only works with the good chips, while gfree method is used for both the good and bad chips. give the gfree method a try if youre having problems http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996

Keep in mind with a rooted phone and a bad eMMC, you are using a ticking time bomb. Keep in mind the phone will fail [brick], it might not be now, it might not be a week but it will happen.
That's not true... It will only fail if you don't know what you are doing and that could happen w a good chip too ... When u root via gfree, proceed to also flash the 85. 2007 ENG bootloader

There are well educated, when it comes to Android, people all over the Internets when it comes to this phone going FUBAR due to a faulty eMMC chipset.
If the chip set is bad it's a ticking timebomb.
That's an opinion that anyone is entitled to but I am speaking purely based on personal experience... I have rooted many phones with both good and bad chips, none of which have ever had in any problems... And based on actual results the phone with a "bad" eMMC chip holds max overclock much better and easier than my phone with a good chip... I was one who went back to stock on the bad chip without flashing stock radio and everyone said it was the end of the world and it would never have s off again... However after editing the misc. Img in mmcblk0p17 with hex editor I now have s off... So it just depends on who's flashing the phone

I was using the gfree method to root the phone the problem is trying to get temp root it stayed on the visonary screen, trying to temp root and stayed that way over night, never was able to temp root to even get started. i tried visonary + and ver. 11 also. so not sure were to go from here
Use visionary 14. Check only the second and third boxes then click temproot. Run commands through Android terminal emulator.

Check this out, i would be willing to bet this will work. It sounds much more difficult than it actually is. Just follow the steps and it will be simple.. i downloaded HEX QL editor which is free and super easy to use.... the version number that u need to edit is on the furthest right side (misc.img). The directions below are easy to follow and worked for me to get s off and root when it seemed impossible. Long story short, you will pull the misc.img to your sdcard and then plug phone into computer and open the misc.img on sdcard using the hex editor. Change the version number and save that file as miscnew.img and place on sdcard. Important to remember that the version you will be flashing is unable to obtain root however gfree and visionary will still carry out the proper root process you just wont notice permroot until a custom rom is flashed....i realized this after running the gfree process at least 8 times lmao . Ask any questions u have that are unclear from this link.

Check the bootloaders, if its the .85 use Visonary method and if its .86 the gfree method will work.
forget visionary r14 and go with r11 that version will work 100%
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
none of the visonary versions work at all. not sure what to do.
Most probably you have Gingerbread on your MT4G, or you're talking about Panache, and forgot to mention those facts.
Please go and check Android OS version in Settings/About.
