Superuser 2.3 - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

Anyone manage to install it successfully without losing root. If so, how?

No, same problem, pushed the 2.3 apk to apps, after that not in launcher anymore and root completely gone.
Messed around for 2 hours now with X10root.apk, the runme batch file and at last manually. Don't know which method actually did it, but after final reboot I got rooted again and Superuser was visible again in Launcher.
I think the Donut Version of Superuser 2.3 is a fail, got 2.2 now, I think from Angelos pack but not sure.

Yeah, that's my experience too. The root .apk fixed it up for me again.

I've heard that the superuser 2.3 asks for permission for everything on the phone, is that correct?

Why would one need to upgrade to what most have using the root method? I see no reason to change whats already working fine and giving root. People never realise that newer versions dont always mean better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Works a treat
You have to remove the old Superuser.apk from /system/app/
Then add the latest Superuser.apk along with the "su" supplied using adb:
Code:
@adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
@adb push apps\Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk
@adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
@adb push bin\su /sdcard/su
@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/su of=/system/bin/su
@adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
@adb shell rm /sdcard/su
@adb shell rm /sdcard/Superuser.apk

This also happens on my phone.

Did the same for me. Rebooted, it was fine (did it on both my x10 and nexus).
Removing the old superuser app and pushing the new one works. Thanks guys.

Can i use a terminal / file manager on X10 to copy the apk and sh binary (ofcourse after mounting rw) ?
Or i have to use "dd"?

What are the new features found in the Superuser 2.3?

2.3.1 is out and works no more FC....

yup! works fine now

Could you please tell me how to do this?
Do i have just to open my sdk on my pc and insert the comand you wrote?
I'm tryng to understand how to remove superuser from the phone because i have a X10 and X10mini, and i've a problem with the second phone and this apk.
When i downloaded from the market a new version (2.3.6.1) of this programm, all went fine with my X10.
With X10 mini, when i try to download from market superuser, i can finish to downloading this apk, but phone dosen't install it.
A messagge appear sayng the package is not signed.
So maybe i thought it could depends from older version that's installed on X10 mini. Am i doing right removing the old version for installing new one? Or mine is another kind of issue?
And in general, is this still the right method (and the only one) to remove superuser.apk from Xperia phones?
Thanks

thank you!

I am a G3's user

Hi there. I really, really hate Timescape lol. Can you please tell me how to remove that, also just incase, if the removal of it ends up screwing up something, can you post how to reinstall it also.
thank you and keep up the great work
I've got Korean, Japanese and chinese keyboards (even tho I used the UK fw?)
maybe we should add those to the list?
The thing is.
Is there really any point in deleting stuff?
yes saving space, but I dont think they're too big?
We should try and make a list of the apps that run on the background doing stuff. those are the ones we should focus on getting rid of.

You can't remove it, as it is linked to the phone (calling/messaging) aspect of the phone.
You also can't remove mediascape, otherwise your headphones won't work.

the reason you have other keyboards is due to you using the firmware in this post,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6514692&postcount=2
Its not so much the space but other aspects, it leaves your CPU free to only think about what you want it too not "should i do this with this or that"

Also, I think we should remove Wisepilot.
It should be big, and AFAIK it's a paid GPS software?

Android 2.2/2.3 stock,Flash recovery without unlocking bootloader (GRJ22 Nexus One)

Hi,
I found a nice exploit for Xperia which works fine for Nexus one too ( the DooMLoRD exploit ).
I modified the script to flash the recovery without unlocking the bootloader, so you can flash the rom you like
The exploit works fine on Nexus one 2.3.4 GRJ22 with stock rom and locked bootloader, if you don't have a nexus one:
- remplace files/recovery.img with the right one!
- modify the line in script with the right system partition path.
here's the linux script to do the trick :
2shared.com/file/4uu5h2NH/zergRush_automated_Linux_roott.html
i'm sure someone will port it to windows
NB : backup data, and apps, when you flash a new rom, all data are deleted ( except SD Card).
Automatic installation using the script :
tar -xjvf zergRush_automated_Linux_root.tar.bz2
cd zergRush_automated_Linux_root/
chmod a+x runme-linux
sudo ./runme-linux
Manual installation :
tar -xjvf zergRush_automated_Linux_root.tar.bz2
cd zergRush_automated_Linux_root/
./files/adb kill-server
./files/adb wait-for-device
./files/adb shell rm -r /data/local/tmp
./files/adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp

./files/adb push files/recovery.img /data/recovery.img
./files/adb shell /data/flash_image recovery /data/recovery.img
./files/adb shell rm /data/flash_image

In less than a minute, your phone will reboot to amonRA recovery, flash the rom you want, and Enjoy!

Novo 7 Advanced ICS 4.0.3 Advance ROOT guide (not for Newbies!!!)

check it out :
http://tabletrepublic.com/forum/ain...ance-root-guide-not-newbies-697.html#post6351
I have managed to root my Novo 7 advance.
Follow theese steps and you will be fine
I used ADB, you must follow it in this exact order
ADB root
ADB shell mount -o remount,rw /system
ADB push su-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed /system/xbin/su
ADB shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
ADB shell chmod 04755 /system/xbin/su
ADB shell mount -o remount,ro /system
ADB install -r Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.apk
ADB shell mount -o remount,rw /system
ADB push su-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed /bin/su
ADB shell chown 0.0 /bin/su
ADB shell chmod 04755 /bin/su
all files and apk you need can be downloaded from here :
http://www.mediafire.com/?bx0y51nqbu4iptj
This method works on other devices as well !
Working on fixing the Market, I will publish a guide as soon as I got it to work...
I tried this, but root access is denied. The SuperOneClick completes everything, but when I installed SetCPU & RootExplorer apps, they are denied root access. Have you tried with these apps as well ?

Don't run SuperOneClick, type in the commands manually, and it'll work.
Possibly a typo in the commands above (?), this is what I used:
ADB root
ADB shell mount -o remount,rw /system
ADB push su-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed /system/xbin/su
ADB shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
ADB shell chmod 04755 /system/xbin/su
ADB shell mount -o remount,ro /system
ADB install -r Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.apk
ADB shell mount -o remount,rw /system
ADB push su-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed /system/bin/su
ADB shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/su
ADB shell chmod 04755 /system/bin/su
Big thanks, finally got my device rooted. (Novo7 Advanced2)

[Q] How to Uninstall Unofficial Safestrap 3.75

I've searched all over these forums trying to figure out how to uninstall Unofficial Safestrap 3.75, but have not had any luck. I did some mods to my S3 and want to remove SS 3.75 because each time the S3 reboots it first goes to the Samsung Custom screen that shows an opened padlock and then goes to the "Safestrap Disabled Screen" where you can push "continue" (or it does so in 10 seconds on its own) or Recovery. I've tried uninstalling it by using Link2SD, but I still get the screens mentioned above. The app doesn't show in the App Manager Drawer, so I'm not sure what to do. I would appreciate any help at all with this. Thanks!
Enter adb shell from your pc:
Code:

Thanks a lot for your reply. This is a very time consuming process, and I'm still having trouble.
When I'm in the command prompt screen from sdk\PlatformTools and enter the first line of code su I get an error message saying "su is not recognized as an internal or external command"
btw, I entered command adb devices to make sure S3 is connected, and based on reply, it appears to be. I have attached a jpg showing both of the above situations. If you or anyone has an idea how to solve this glitch, I'd appreciate it!
