A while back someone claimed to have rooted the Xperia X10 which meant great news for X10 owners a like. Unfortunately it was later proven to be a fake but, after some persistence, the Xperia X10 has finally been rooted, for real this time. Folks over at the XDA-Developers forum have managed to bring root access to Sony Ericsson’s first Android powered handset and have managed to make it as simple as can be. The root process can be performed in as little as 3 steps after finding the Device ID. Xperia X10a owners will have to perform two additional steps to X10i owners. A fix for the Market is also included as some users have experienced difficulties since rooting. Again this is a simple process. You can follow the guide on how to root your phone here. Additional steps for 64 bit Operating systems may need to be performed, which you can find out about here. One thing I’ve noted after doing the root myself, is the guide says to run RunMe.cmd in step 2 and then run step2.cmd but, the RunMe.cmd file mentioned isn’t in the download folder but, other users have said you just need to run step2.cmd and I can confirm this works.
Unfortunately, the bootloader hasn’t been cracked yet, which means it isn’t possible to run custom roms on it, including Android 2.1/2.2 but, this is being worked on. You can however remove default apps which you don’t want or use, such as Moxier, Play Now, MediaScape etc. Again, the guide on how to uninstall the default apps can a found here. A quick video guide has also been created on how to uninstall the default apps.
