Download:

Connect device in fastboot mode (blue LED).
Open Command prompt and type:
fastboot flash system system_xps_prerooted_63fw.img
This will give you root immediatly after reboot!
A nicer way will come soon. But this should solve first problems

If you get market problems go ot Settings -> Apps -> ... -> Search for the market in the list and then delete Data of the App. After that all will work fine.

I know roughly what you are talking about. I know command prompt, although I never used fastboot, as I only owned X10 (until I dropped it and USB port snapped ), so never had to/wanted to unlock bootloader this way. But I want to learn, that's why I am reading all this now, and I need to ask about something I am not sure of.
Just go through the unlock bootloader process and then you will know what fastboot is
After that just type my comamnd with my file in the same directory and you will be done.

If I were you I would wait till I get ICS on the phone then unlock the bootloader and root the phone.
Quick question. It just wonders me. Sony "supports" unlocking bootloader, which is more dangerous than root. Why rooting is not supported then? Is it because we could unistall third party aplications and Sony has some sort of agreements with them and are obligated by law?

No you are getting the idea wrong
Long ago we discussed alot with SonyEricsson and together decided this is the best way of doing it.
The reason is simple:
Rooting alone does not give you access to all partitions etc. pp See X10 Forums for that. Sony is very good in hiding partitions
With a bootloader unlock we get fully workable fastboot. We are able to write all partitions and change what we want. (Root too)
Also Sony(Ericsson) is able to track who unlocks and who not AND is able to provide a check mechanism to forbid unlocking of phones which are not owned by the user (for example provider branded phones in contract, the phone is usually property of the provider).
So this is the reason. Unlocked bootloader gives us nearly full access, so no need to worry I am in this game since X10 times (like you or not ?)and we always got the phones working like we wanted.
Our work for CM9 on XPS has started now too.

See, I was not aware of that "agreement". Now everything seems to make sense. I am android user since I bought X10 back in August 2010. I was more or less following XDA since then as well, but this forum is worldwide community and is almost imposible to keep a track on everything. I would consider myself somewhere between rookie and advanced users. I know how to do certain things (root, how to use ADB, I was changing framwork_res.apk for my own purposes, etc.). My point also is, I am more hardware sort of guy, rather than software. That's why I am glad you guys are here with us.
Will this wipe the phone data or only the system partition ?

Well no. But the first step is that you need to unlock bootloader and THIS WILL wipe your data. To flash the systempartition itself will not wipe userdata.

Yes, I agree. But myself, I will wait for root for phones with locked bootloader as well. I assume I will be happy with phone speed, but when CM9 comes out, then I will consider unlockin bootloader.

So you restored with Titanium. Since Titanium is a Root app and you don't had Root before i think you are trying to restore a backup from another phone.
If you do that you have to assure that you ONLY RESTORE APPS and NOT SETTINGS! Settings from another phone will be most likely incompatible.
So this wil be your problem!

Is everything wiped after root?
Hi Guys,
I need clarification/cofirmation here as I am in a spot of bother... Let's say that my Z1C was accidentally restored to factory settings and in the process I lost all contacts and messages.
I have now set out to try and retrieve them. After checking some software, which according to the developers, is capable of doing that it turns out that I should most certainly root the phone, otherwise the program(s) will not be able to search for this data (this information is virtually on every program's website).
Since my phone is still on warranty (and will be for some considerable time to come) I am not that eager to go all the way and unlock the bootloader. So my objective is to have root access with the bootloader locked. Now, I had a long read of the thread started by Darkimmortal on how to root Z1C without unlocking bootloader forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634196 and before I download gigabytes and take the plunge the milion dollar question is
DO I WIPE THE WHOLE PHONE IN THIS PROCESS?
I know that in the OP it says
Take a full backup, as all phone memory INCLUDING INTERNAL SD will be wiped.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but then we have a catch22 situation - need root to recover data, rooting will wipe all data
So basically is there a way to root the phone without loosing the data I am after?

Hi guys,
I've put a stock rom in my Z1C and sent it to the warranty. The problem is that they say it has a changed software version, and the warranty is not activated in these situations.
I dont know what to do, because I checked on PCCompanion and it really says it's not the original software version. I even used a tool that i saw in this forum XperiFirm_3.7_(by_Igor_Eisberg), to download the Portuguese ROM.
I flashed it, but i still have this error in PCCOmpanion.
Can someone help me?

Did you restore your TA partition?
If you unlocked the bootloader and didn't relock it, restoring the DRM keys, then the service center know that it's been messed with.
@Pakman123 my bootloader is unlocked i think, i'm not sure about this. How can i check this?
@Didgesteve i didnt restore my TA neither restore DRM keys (dont know what is this).
Can you help me on this?
What do i really need to do to put the original ROM and make sure they dont detect it in the Service Center?

I've searched on XDA and realized i needed root to restore TA. Its done now, and i used PC Companion to "re-install" the original stock rom.
Anyone knows how to use Sony Flashtool (EMMA) like in the Service Center (warranty) to check if it's everything fine? I've searched in a lot of pages and didnt found anything.

Chances are the TA partition will be checked at the service centre.
Did you enable USB debugging in the developer options before you tried to restore the TA partition? (Settings => About phone => Click 7 times on Android Build to unlock developer options)
Hi everyone, I love modding but I'm worried to lose warranty. Can you tell me which are the real advantages to have warranty? Thank you so much for your time.
transfer app to sd
The main reason I use to rot is to use program like Link2SD. The internal memory is never enough for everything.
I think the only advantage is about the warranty, and depending on the root can have malicious code behind.

You can move apps to the external sd card by going to the Settings > Apps > Select an app > Storage and then hit Change. I don't think you need to use such kind of tools

Yes, the biggest use to not accept change to SD
In MM you can use an external sdcard as internal storage! Android will move apps then auto magically to the sdcard. No need for root no need for tools like link2sd anymore. Correct me if i miss a point here.

not if you flash stock firmware.. or in the case of bootloop disable main core and root will be deleted when you flash stock KDZ. but unlocking bootloader you must ask LG for unlock.bin key , so i guess they have record that you requested the unlock key.. some have requested key , and say they didnt use it , got bootloop sent for repair and warranty was void and phone wasnt unlocked..
You can always pay for service if you cannot get out of boot loop yourself.
I think it is a risk worth taking considering benefits of rooting.

Who says that? Can you provide links?
Even LG says your warranty is void if you *unlock*, not if you just download the unlock.bin..
If anything happens and your phone has KDZ outs you can just use LGUP to go back to complete stock. I had a boot loader unlocked flag on boot and i used that to get rid of it when I had a bootloop and had to send my phone in for warranty repair.
You're saying a bootloader unlock is reversible/concealable?

I asked proof about what you wrote concerning:
LG denying service on the basis of their "who downloaded unlock.bin" database, *even though the device was NOT unlocked*.
Is there any? I would really like to know.. That guy you're referring to, can you find the post please?

Hi.
I need to do full backup of my xt1635-02.
It is not rooted. Is there a way to have backup of contacts, app, wifi settings, gmail account settings and so on just in one file? Like TWRP or ClokworkMode. Without need of root.
My device is making weird thing, from dissapearing of wifi to making mess with files.
It is time to reset.
But do not want to spend whole day doing it.
Any advice appreciated.

You do not need root for using twrp, but your device needs to be unlocked. If you didn't do it already, it won't help: unlocking wipes all data.
Best thing I see in this case is adb backup. Plug the usb cable, start "adb backup -all". You may search for help using Google "adb backup", there should be some instructions available.
As i unlocked all my devices, I did not use adb except some tests and never restored anything. I'm myself using twrp and Nandroid backup.

It's nearly the same for all devices by Motorola. Just search for some instructions.
Get code from your device via fastboot/adb
Enter that code in a website by Motorola
Receive unlock code
Enter that code twice (first: enter again to assure you want to do that) to you device via fastboot/adb
Then it wipes your device and is unlocked.
Booting afterwards you have 5 seconds delay and a message that your device is unlocked, on every boot. This is to make you confident that your device is configured right, at least I see it this way.
Done. But it looks small, only 128 Mb of data, what really it saves? Anything from my first post?
Hi, I am feeling so bad, that I am writing offtopic, but I can't already create new topics and I got my device hardbricked, and I need size of all partitions (I mean not only /system /data etc., but all partition from chip) can anyone provide it to me?
Also cat /proc/emmc and cat /proc/partitions will be helpful. So again, for anyone reading this, who has root. Help me please, this information is needed to rawprogramme0.xml and patch0.xml that are needed for unbricking. It will enable everyone to ressurrect their devices.

Hi, thank you for response. I hard-bricked it by doing OTA after downgrading phone firmware. I have made partition tables from leaked firmware so I don't need them anymore, but you will help me very much, providing backup of your chip.
