Download:
http://eddy.uni-duisburg.de/bin4ry/system_xps_prerooted_63fw.img
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...

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?

Hello,
I have an interesting project. My company does not use a BYOD setup for company devices, we actually purchase and deploy devices for our end users. This ensures that we have full control over the devices, how they are being used and allows for ease of support and Asset Tracking. I've always been a fan of Nexus devices simply because they are so clean out of the box (little/no bloatware). The latest generation also has the Finger Print sensor which will make using the devices much easier and more secure for our end users.
Now...we have around 250 devices in service (Galaxy S3's) that will need to be upgraded. I have been experimenting with the Nexus and I have been able to Unlock the bootloader, run a temporary Custom Recovery and take a Nandroid backup "image" of the device. This image has all of the software, settings and layout we need on the device. I then wiped everything out and restored the image successfully with only one issue...I can't figure out how to Relock the bootloader on the 5X without wiping out my loaded Nandroid image.
I've tried several ADB Commands, but they all show "Lock bootloader and factory reset phone". Is there a way to relock the bootloader without factory resetting the device? My Nandroid image was taken with stock Marshmallow.
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure relocking the bootloader will automatically start the wiping process. No way around it, it's purely for made out of the bootloader.
You could always leave them unlocked though.

That's a massive security risk. If want your files, all I have to do is boot into the bootloader, flash twrp, boot from the bootloader to twrp, and all of your personal files are mine.

Agreed, I don't want to leave them Unlocked for the reasons you outlined. Relocked, they will then be secured behind a Finger Print password. I found apps that could do this, but only for older Nexus models. I may be out of luck for the 5X/6P and imaging. I don't know of any other method of backup that is as all encompassing as Nandroid.

you can leave the bootloader unlocked but still encrypt the userdata, which would keep the data secure (even with the pin request upon boot). if the phone was stolen, the recovery and bootloader could be accessed and thus the userdata could be wiped, but not unencrypted and accessed.
is this not sufficient for your needs?

I believe flashing the factory images without wiping userdata would wipeout the security including the password protection. At that point you could load twrp and access the storage.

As far as I know, Factory images would only affect the system partition. User data is separately encrypted, so the only way to access them is with the password regardless of the rom. You might not even be able to access the data if you flash another rom to system

Indeed. I guess that unless the kernel or system are granted permission to read/write to the /data folder during boot then there probably isnt a way to get to your personal files while encrypted.
Maybe you can contact Google and depending on how many devices you want to purchase, they could set you up with a custom bootloader that could be re-locked.
Yeah, Termination requests are never a good thing!
With only 250 devices max, I doubt Google would do anything for us. Thanks for the thoughts and ideas everyone! Looks like we may be doing these by hand again. :crying:

From the app details:
"Nexus 6 and newer devices contain security measures in their bootloaders, connected with factory-reset protection. These measures make it very difficult to use root to lock/unlock the bootloader, and as a result it is unlikely that Nexus 6, Nexus 9, Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P will ever be supported."

Helium works to restore data from device to device without root. I used it on my gs7 when transferring without root from a rooted phone. If it's not rooted, you just have to connect it to a computer to enable restore.

If you install the computer application, it enables the non rooted phone to be able to create backups and do restores. It worked fine for me and I didn't use the paid version.

Now THAT'S what's up! My only concern is that when you're going from an older phone with a different version of Android, going to a newer phone and/or version of Android, I would think that issues may occur.

Helium only restores data I believe, not the app. I backed up from an m7 on lollipop to a gs7 on marshmallow. As long as the app is downloaded already the new phone data transfer should be simple.

When on your old phone, you just backup specific apps/contacts/etc you want to backup. It doesn't do anything like a nandroid backup where all are backed up

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.
What happened that you brick it? My is not rooted and I dont want it, so probably I cannot help.

Hi, thank you for response. I hard-bricked it by doing OTA after downgrading phone firmware.
