[Q] Problems rooting X10i

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?

heeeeeeelp, after custom kernel!!

Hi! I put jerplea custom kernel into CM 6.1.3 via xrecovery, when i reboot the system doesn't work! i try to enter in xrecovery but it doesn't work!! how can i repair my x10??
thx in advance
Dario

Hook up the phone to the pc to the sonu ericsson software called seus. Hit the repair option.
If that doesnt work, try flashtool which is a pc program too which is in the x10 android development section. There r howto guides in there if u dont know how to use it. Flash the firmware with the baseband u want for the compatible ROMS want to run on the phone.
After thay u have to reroot the phone. Sorry about this but u gotta start over.

I'm going to copy and paste this reply to everyone who messes up their phone with a custom kernel. We are going to get LOTS of these kind of threads soon...

There are already a lot of ppl complaining that they "broke" their phone and dont know the reason, because they are to "lazy" to read the OP for installing custum ROMS and kernals.

Agreed, reflash with SEUS, I had to do that twice, when I was noob.

ok fires you must be to back to the original software 2.1
step 1
download Sony Ericsson updater
after download set up in your pc
step 2
connect the usb cable in your pc
step 3
open the sony ericsson softwer update and choos x10 phone and next
step 4
now turn off your phone
step 5
connect you phone and Click on the button right
now turn on your phone
You will notice that the computer knows the phone a new way
After the piece
You will notice that the program moved to the next step and descends Software
This step will take approximately 10 minutes
I am sorry for bad English

i am not trying to be a smartass here, but ppl should really read OP more carefull. you cant go wrong if you backup everything in xrecovery before aplying new update or rom. i tried several of the new custom roms and they worked all. just stick to instructions and everything will be fine

Why don't you just take a look at one of the countless guides within these forums? Here's a hint, there's a search function buddy
And on a closing note, this should've been posted in Q&A.

Ok. Go to google; type in SEUS - Sony Ericsson Update Service
Download and install the .exe
Then update it the way it tells you to, then your done!
BTW: you have lost all your data. Unfortunately. Next time maybe some reading would help lol.

tnhx, SEUS solved tfe problem

You said you had xrecovery and made a back up before you installed the new ROM.
Were you going from a 2.2 ROM,to a custom gb ROM?
If you were, did you install the ROM and then the pre rooted kernel/baseband before you turned your phone on?
Because if you installed a custom GB ROM without the right kernel it will get stuck on the SE logo.. Just a thought.
If you did have the right kernel/baseband, maybe wiping delvik-cache and fixing permissions right after you install the ROM might help if it happens again.

And yet you posted in the wrong forum and didn't give us any information to go off (hint, there's a Q&A forum).
So, what did you flash and how, with what options and what messages did you get at all points along the way?

yeah apologies i was in a rush. im rtying to gert it set up and its different from HTC.
i just used the oden and 1 click root. i havent flashed one as of yet because im trying to get CWM bootloader installed on my phone.
so i downloaded the bootloader off the app and flashed it and it said everything was fine. then i tried to reboot into recovery and its just the normal blue samsung bootloader
it said failed installation and it was aborted

Samsung is a bit different from htc, flashed a desire hd of a friend recently and also had to get used to the differences especially in rooting procedure then
The easyiest way to root and get recovery on a samsung galaxy phone is to just flash a custom kernel (e.g. Cf-root) via odin. They come along with cwm already. So actually a lot easier then on a HTC were you have to do two steps
Rom manager doesnt work for me either on galaxy s 2 when it comes to cwm flash.

I had similar "problem" when i came here from HTC I spent good 40 mins by searching XDA on how to get S-OFF untill i gave up and went trough EVERY "how to" thread i could find in SGS2 forums.
After i got everything done, i had good laugh on my self. It's just too easy
BTW i remeber you from Desire Z forums, nice to see you here.

This questions gets asked on a daily basis, flash the cf-root kernel and you'll have your recovery. Look in the dev section for it.
