Rooting a Rogers Sony Ericsson X10a running the Global generic Android v2.1 (Eclair) firmware using SuperOneClick.

Rooting does NOT make the Market free nor does it unlock your phone. It allows you to run applications such as Titanium Backup, Barnacle WiFi tether, etc. as well as uninstall system applications like Moxier or install system applications such as the updated Gingerbread YouTube application: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EHQMDfRU4E

If you have a crappy antivirus program, "RageAgainstTheCage" is FALSELY identified as a virus. It is NOT a virus. It modifies system files on your phone (required for rooting, obviously) and is therefore seen as a virus. Download Microsoft Security Essentials: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

Works on ANY X10 running 2.1.
Does NOT unlock your phone. Does NOT re-lock your unlocked phone.
(SIM lock and rooting are independent.)

Sony Ericsson PC Companion (required for SuperOneClick rooting): http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/pccompanio... (install and update PC Companion)

  • what do you get when you root your phone ?

  • @louiejb12 You get to read the description.

  • i have an xperia x10 under at&t, i can't log into android market, and the wifi is very powerful here , does rooting fix that ??

  • @Naoufalitos24 No. Flash a generic firmware that hasn't been gimped by AT&T.

  • Mach das root nicht auf eurem handys da ist virus drauf!!!

    Do not the root of your phones there is virus on it!!!

  • @7011caner No, there isn't. Your crappy antivirus program can't tell the difference between a program that modifies system files and an actual virus.
