Root for Xperia X10 came after a lot of effort by XDA Users and they did really a great job with the first step towards the Rooting of Xperia X10. After a lot of Fake calls of rooting Xperia X10 when they finally succeeded in rooting Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, it was a difficult process for many users who were new to Android and Linux shell.
Although, they tried their best to keep the process simple enough, rooting Xperia X10 still took over 10mins to 30mins for Normal Users.

There were a lot of complication with first Rooting Method that Xperia X10 ever saw! There were problems like 64-bit Java Issue and Frequent restarts, No 3G-APN issue, Phonebook Doesn’t work/Force Close, Headphones not working, etc.
And that was not all, people were having a lot of problem with the rooted phone as everything was automated and the Default Sony Ericsson Apps were already wiped off! So, users who wished to keep the Timescape, Mediascape and other default Xperia X10 apps had to go through a complex process of running the Shell commands to install the Timescape and Mediascape apks.
Everything was a bit complex and the whole rooting process needed some refinement! XDA Users tried their best to cut the steps to around 2-3 steps for Rooting your Xperia X10.

Now you don’t need to worry about rooting your Xperia X10. You won’t face any issues either! Rooting your Xperia X10 got as easier as “a Single Touch“! Yes, you heard it right, Xperia X10 can be rooted with one Single Touch/Click!
