Hi guys...........I want to ask if there is anywhere guides how unlock and how to root ideos x5?
thanks............
What version? 2.2 or 2.3? The phone shouldn't have any bootloader locks on it, it's just not rooted.

my x5 had 2.2 as default rom . i just wanted to have roms like cm7 n oxygen . to root phone i simply used z4 app . just install it n your mobile will be rooted in few seconds . dont forget to create a backup of ur current rom before rooting ( always safe to have a backup ) . u can use cmw manager to create back up . lemme know if anything goes wrong

I want to root my x5, too. But how can I make a backup BEFORE rooting? Doesn't CVM need root to work?

There's two ways to get CWM on. One way is to boot to pink screen and then replace the recovery.img, other way is to root the phone and then replace recovery.img from there. Easier is the bootloader way. Link here.

This does not work for me - it installs nicely, and the phone seems rooted. When I started Titanium Backup, the screen froze. After rebooting the phone the phone wasn't rooted anymore. Weird. Tried z4root, didn't work either. This on a new 2.2 phone.
can i ask U where can i download and install android 2.2 for my blade?
thanks.
Modified z4root where permanent root works! by kallt_kaffe
but it seems to be just another custom rom, isn't it? i just wanna have android 2.2 and dont loose assurance... i dont know if there is official release yet..
anyway, thanks
Was answering op, best bet is too root clockwork mod and flash custom, you can revert by flashing stock to which will also remove clockwork for if you need to return for warranty purposes.
ROM in sig is sweet

facing a problem with my Dell XCD35(ZTE Blade),had tried to unroot using z4root the process went as usual but after the reboot the phone is on a loop at the animation screen.Any idea how to rectify this.Thanks
P.S When I try the hard reset the phone doesn't show the green android but only the FTM message.
!Don't work on Android 2.3.6+ .. only 2.3.5 and less! thanks Mittaa
Hi, im newbie and was gathering info from this execellent forum about root, flash kernel, custom recovery, flashing rom.. so i think there is most easy way for someone like me who is totally new to this, and i want to share it.
Step 1: ROOT, Download DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit connect phone to PC and click RUNME.BAT
Step 2: KERNEL, download DarkyOTA from Android Market, then select OTA > kernels, download and install kernel.
That's it you now have root and cwm recovery, ready to do nandroid backup and install custom roms.
First step is to backup your phone before you will test anything. When phone is off hold home+volUP+Power you will get into CWM Recovery and Choose Backup/Restore > Backup
PS: Make sure you have setup debug mode and checked unknow sources in your phone settings in step 1
Hope it helps to someone :>
Yes nice I did the same.
But be aware that "DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit" only works with 2.3.5 and not stock 2.3.6 (Mexico and Holland have got it).
Samsung have closed this easy way to root
Thanks for telling us, didn't know this im 2.3.5 lucky

I would really like to use a custom rom but im a bit scared that i would break my phone.. Is it hard to install the Aurora ICS? Is it ok for daily use? Also i dont know if im the only one but when i try to install almost any app from play store i get a" couldent install app on USB memory or SD card" error. Phone is unrooted.

just follow the guides and you will be fine..
some apps need rooted phones to work properly so you need at least to root your phone then you are fine...

Downgrade from 2.3.5 back to 2.2.2
1) Download U8800 V100R001C00B138SP04 (Overseas General) Android 2.2.2 from HERE.
2) Extract the "dload" folder and copy it (along with its contents) to the ROOT of the SD Card.
3) Turn on your U8800 while holding [VOL-] and [VOL+] and the Android 2.2.2 install should start.
4) Once finished you should be back to 2.2.2.
5) If you phone does not boot correctly power on phone while holding [VOL+] to boot into recovery and Reset to factory defaults.
6) Delete the "dload" folder from the SD Card.

you can root your phone on 2.2 too just follow this guide for that

Btw when i upgraded to 2.3 i used this one here and it went pretty smoothly.
Well now i installed Aurora 4.1 how do i install the update 1a now? Also i have Saunalahti how do i do that with the connectbot? Didnt really understand it :S Calling is working atm i think.. but mobile internet doesnt
Download connectbot and open, Click ssh left side bottom and select local and use a nickname when the terminal opens type
su
setprop persist.eons.enabled 0
And reboot.
To install update 1a just flash it with cwm.
I tried the connectbot but do i have to save it somehow after i wrote that or just home and reboot? Also i've checked my APN settings they are as they should for Saunalahti :/ Got an R over my signal idk if im roaming :/ im at home internet wont work *_* Im on Aurora 4.1 atm u think it would help if i flashed 4.1 update 1a?
You can try but since you had this prob from the official update you better try reinstalling the official again
Also try this see if your net connects when you turn on data roaming if it does that means you are on roaming some how
Sent from my U8800 using xda app-developers app
umm what official should i try then? Im from finland so.. Is it just to do the exact same thing as when i upgraded from 2.2.1? Or do i need to go back to 2.2.1 first or sumfin like that?
first try a master reset if not helpful then just try doing it without downgrading if that doesn't work try it with a different official update and if that too doesn't work then try downgrading and upgrading again.
How do i do a master reset? Also i saw the downgrade guide on that root ,CWM etc.. but the link is dead

hi people,
i have a SE x10 mini and its flashed with latest naa kernal and CM7mini.
im swapping it for a motorola defy tomorrow and just want some general answers if possible.
i see on the cm7 instructions it says *Flash froyo* then from clockwork install the .zip. ( similar to x10 mini )
but what steps do i need to take once i get the phone?
do i need to root it first then install a custom recovery first? or can i just chuck the CM7.zip on the sd card and flash?
im a little confused as i have only owned this x10 mini and i know how to flash kernals etc to this phone, just confused with the motorola
any help would be appreciated
regards
come on, at least look at the big Q & A threads before burdening others. I saying this to you instead of answering your questin, so that you at least give the matter some attention yourselves.
May the search be with you!
lol,
i have been reading up.
im not sure on this froyo, eclair etc
how would i know what i have when i get it?
will it say froyo in settings?
with the x10mini its all pretty much easy, no need to find what version or anything, just download cm7mini flash naa and flash.
so im a little confused with the defy,
ive been reading up and understand enough,
but i take it the steps i take is
To root the phone
install the 2ins app to install recovery
then flash cm9?
or do i need to use RSD lite to flash the froyo rom first?
reading the faq is pretty straight forward but i havnt seen the phone yet ( played around with it) so im not sure of the version etc.
im in the uk
in settings it provide ur the Android version. 2.2.2 is froyo... but ... that's not the only problem. from were u buy the phone? reseller or from private

ok than ur don't had a problem with the bootloader! it's not that easy as for ur x10mini cause the locked bl in the defy.
in general section is a thread there u find 'custom' sbf files, that u can flash with rsd light. it's the easiest way to get a good ROM on the defy, in only one step. the files are all rooted and with 2nd init. from that point u easy can flash other ROM through CWM, only beware for higher bootloader. ur defy is maximum bl5 I think.

will it say in rsd lite?

No, rsdlite cant say ur the bl version,
ur can use the tool u find in that post
and if ur dont speak chinese in that post u have the answer for the cryptic buttons :good:
First of all, what kind of defy will you get?
Defy, Defy+ or Defy Mini?
The steps to install a custom rom are very easy.
1. root your defy
2 install cwm
3. make a nandroid backup with cwm
4. download the Rom you want to install
5. reboot into cwm and install the Rom.
This is a short instruction. For details instruction go to the Defy developments threads. There you find detailed instructions, and how to install custom Roms.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
It depends on which rom that you want to install and if you have green or red lense (because of the kernel).
But you will find these infos in the instructions of the rom thread.
