There are many that have still not rooted their Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 handsets mainly due to the perceived complexity involved. Ever since the root for the Xperia X10 was first announced the process has got easier and easier. The recently announced Exploid root method for the X10 mini and X10 mini pro handsets already works perfectly for the Xperia X10, but now an even simpler method has emerged.
All you have to do is download and install the UniversalAndroot apk. Once installed, all you then do is click the root button and you should have a rooted handset. The apk also has an unroot button, so if you don’t want it for whatever reason you can always revert back. The benefits of rooting are numerous and include being able to run root-only apps such as Titanium Backup and Barnacle Wifi Tether that turns your X10 into a wireless hotspot.
Update: For those that cannot get this method to work, then you can try an alternative apk courtesy of xda-developer member ardf69 called X10Root.

I’ve been waiting for SOOOOO long to root my device, that was, WAY too complicated for my skills, i just did it and i’m SOOOOO happy ! EXTREMELLY SIMPLE !!! do it guys !
fighting for freedom !!!!
Barnacle Wifi Tether doesn’t work for me
Is it because I have WiFi Manager installed? Or something else?
@Hott Dogg – Try this. Launch Barnacle. Press Settings –> Interfaces –> LAN. Type “athwlan0” in the pop-up box (without quotes). Hopefully this should work. 🙂
the app says i’m root but barnacle is not working ! any idea people ?
Cant download it 🙁
Hi..i have a unrooted X10i…….what are the benefits if i root it..what can you do with an rooted phone…?!
[…] […]
Does not work with the latest firmware on the x10. The App says that i got root, but titanium backup for example won’t work. What did i wrong?
@Alex – Click “Problems” in titanium and let it download the latest version of busybox.
I makes no sense for 99,998% of all Xperia owners to have a root access.
Who really needs to connect to the phone via WLAN and SSH?
Who really needs an ftp server on the phone for data exchange?
It’s only needed for nerds.
I disagree Huffy Puffy. The wi-fi hotspot is ideal for me when wanting other gadgets to be wirelessly ‘tethered’ to the internet when out and about. It works supremely well with the iPad!
@huffy
there are tons of use for an ftp server, i use it to transfer files from my computer to phone and way around, also with another peoples computer, that way theres no need for cables to be used.Tether is just amazing how i can be and the bus and Im still watching streaming tv om my laptop.
Android was build from nerds for nerds, im one of those, too bad u cant see true potential of the android os.
A couple of questions:
1. Does rooting the device allows to uninstall preinstalled apps?
1. Does rooting the device allows to install a more recent version of Android?
Thanks.
I have the same problem as Alex. I got the R2BA026 FW and this app say my phone is root!!!
not this is not Root.. nothing work.. do I need to unroot and try root again??
is someone got 026 fw and get this root metode to work pls answer me here..
Tommy and Alex, same here. This app doesn’t work on my X10 (original, not mini) with the latest firmware. I just followed the exploid instructions, and that has worked. It’s easy enough to do.
http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/07/30/x10-mini-and-x10-mini-pro-get-root/
Also, the following solutions did work for me to get Barnacle and Titanium working. Thanks to X10 poster.
Launch Barnacle. Press Settings –> Interfaces –> LAN. Type “athwlan0″ in the pop-up box (without quotes).
Launch Titanium. Click “Problems” in titanium and let it download the latest version of busybox.
026 here too, it said it worked but even if I rebooted or not, SetCPU and Titanium Backup both force close when they’re about to request root.
from where to download barnacle wifi tether for free????plz any one post d link..plz…
I have R2BA026 too but this methode work die me. Tryed it with root explorrer, i can add the data folder and other protected ones. I got a x10i generic de (german)
for barnacle also change ur dns in ur computer settings to 8.8.8.8 with above mentioned settings,
same problems as others and ive tried everything. i have a generic x10i uk with generic fw 026. it says i achieved root but clearly i havent. tiatnium back up doesnt load, it fails to download and install busybox. busybox is not in the market. barnacle starts a connection and then straight away closes it by saying i dont have permission. clearly my x10 hasnt rooted using this more simpler technique. any help will be greatly appreciated. xx
hai, i have question, if i root my x10 can i still update from seus?
what happen if i update from seus? is my x10 get unroot?
thx
It seems like the guy that wrote made this post has caused more frustration then good! He didn’t test the apk himself, nor did he verify if it worked! Why post something that you don’t even know if it works or not! what a joke! what kind of blogger post’s unreliable information?
I already had root on my R2BA026 X10, I thought i’d test it. Turns out that it doesn’t work! Is there any contact details for the dev so we can make him/her aware of this?
I guess I got do Root the old fashion way!
Check out http://hemorrdroids.net for all your (reliable) android news.
Not really interested in gaining root until the bootloader is rooted and it’s possible to install a custom Froyo ROM on my X10. Although, with the recently discovered Android security vulnerabilities, I’m kinda glad that the x10 is the most secure android handset so far.
I cannot download it – tried OTA from twitter link
Downloaded it to PC and transfered to phone via PC companion, cannot open it.
I have build R2BA026 – is there anything else i can try ?
thanks
angie
i have the generic german R2BA026 , i installed the root.apk, and run it.
Afterwards i installed titanium, and busybox, and was able to deinstall all the moxier things, the playnow, the track id, and the korean and chinsese keyboard. Thats enough for me.
Then i deisntalled busybox with titanium, deinstalled titanium, pressed unroot in this root.apk, completely erased root.apk, and titanium.
Then rebooted, and there was nothing left from root. And the whole moxier, playnow and so on, was still away, and no more to find on the X10.
So for me it worked perfectly, several virusscanners didn´t found anything suspicious, so for me it seems to be ok, for now.
BTW is this a fake ?

wow this make my x10i work 😀 and this is root now iam on nordic generic 026 😀
Doesn’t work. It says I’m rooted but I can’t uninstall the pre-installed apps.
Trying http://android.doshaska.net/x10miniroot now, but MediaFire is screwing me over.. Can’t download.
Same problem here as Josje has. I have x10 mini pro and this app doesn`t work. Will try “manual – http://android.doshaska.net/x10miniroot ” root later and will post results. Anyway, thanks for great work 😉
Hey guys just downloaded this off the link above, and it worked BRILLIANTLY 🙂
Just a note though, I tried the ” UniversalAndroot.apk” and it worked on my xperia x10i with the R2BA026 (Sweedish branding) and ran it on my phone.
Then I installed Titanium Backup and used it to get rid of all of the things that annoy me (moxier, chineese language pack, korean language etc), and it all removed perfect.. NO MORE MOXIER!
just to be sure though that I could revert it all back to how it was, the app UniversalAndroot has a “unroot” button and tried it out to see what it would do. and it all went back to how it was… with the benifits of having removed all of the **** from my x10 🙂
just thought I would share my 2 cents, thanks to blogger for you’re great work for keeping us all up to date for so long
[…] Xperiax10. Android, Smartphones, Sony […]
I also doubt if it really works. It says my mini x10 is rooted, and the Superuser also pops up and asks permission for Bluetooth transfers, BUT that’s it. I still can’t copy files to the system folder.
Doesn´t work, forget this app!
Doesn’t work on my X10i with UK R2BA026 firmware.
Its not work in X10 Mini pro
I root using this app and instill Market Asses to asses the andoird maket still I cant do that. I living in UAE.
great Titanium Backup donate version is so great this backup my entire system from my x10i 😀
if u have a x10i with R2BA026 FW use this version
http://www.multiupload.com/TNQFA8AT3R
this one work I have testet it and everything work 😀 now my phone is ad free 😀 and root!
i live in israel and i own an x10 bought from vodafone uk.which is updated to the latest software.i seems too to have the same problem.ive insatlled the app and run it and it did said my phone is rooted but the titanium says i dont have root.root for my phone is extremly importent becuase i dont have hebrew fonts.can anyoe help?
I had the same problem where titanium said i did not have the root. what u can do is run the root program, do Not close it, run the titanium, click problems and download busybox. try 1 or 2 times and it works…u can uninstall moxier etc..
.026 xperia x10i
Yes thats important, install busybox with the button “problems” in titanium, but before you have to activate USB Debugging in the X10.
It worked for me perfectly my moxier shxx and playnow and trackid is away forever.
X10Root – worked Hurraaaaaa – no more bullshit moxier!!!!!
@mav @tommy
Thank you so much. It works now, but then i got warning about virus or something that i should uninstall the program.
U guys just leave it or do it?
dosent work yet.i tried the second solution the x10root after runing it it says reboot now.what does it means?
the universaladroot just wont work.
btw how do you delete moxier?
@ethan
When you start Titanium app, if you have been granted root privleges, then click BACKUP/RESTORE, you’ll see list of applications and processes, click on Moxier and UN-Uninstall.
make sure u simply click it once (short click) and not a long click..if u know what i mean
Please Help me, I have a X10 Mini pro (country UAE – blocked Android market) I rooted my phone using this app & instilled MarketAccess. Please tell me how to download apps from the market. I try using QR but it didnt download.
@Jenry yes you get a virus warning because its an exploit an C Source File which is harmless without an installed C Compiler.
But after i deleted the moxier trash i unrooted and deleted all. Just for to be secure, then i run several virus scanners, and they all found nothing.
I just deleted with titanium backup the moxier trash, trackid, quadrapop, and playnow and the korean and chinese keyboard. That was all.
Then i klicked problems on titanium, deinstalled there the busybox, afterwards deinstalled titanium, then klicked unroot in the root.apk. Then rebooted and deleted the root.apk, and titanium. After that the search for viruses was ok. Then i deinstalled my virusscanners
Finished.
and how do you reboot?
I try root using the two ways , but anyone work !! I received the message ok in the final process but i can´t remove any aplications default. My xperia is X10a and have the original firmware 016, why this not work ? Help guys ! Hope !
For those, who can’t get this to work on X10i (generic UK *26 firmware) try the latest build [1.5.3] from creator’s website:
http://blog.23corner.com/tag/universalandroot/
quick link for *.apk: http://bit.ly/aa4jxJ
Regards, Martin.
@Enrique
the universalandroot didnt work for me but the x10root did.
I have as well an x10a, titanium worked well and deleted moxier on my phone.
I am having trouble with Barnacle tho…
i get it activated and all that stuff.. ipod touch can detect my x10a but and it connects to my x10a as well.. but the problem i am having is that the ipod touch cannot connect to the internet, youtube, etc..
can anyone help me on this one?!
Thanks
Universalandroot, titanium, and busybox download worked.
FOR THOSE WHO SAY THIS DOES NOT WORK MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD BUSYBOX FROM WITHIN TITANIUM!
I am running the latest x10i generic french fw build (the beloved r2ba026 baseband 1.1.31) running in the US with T-Mobile and this works if you follow the simple steps of:
1. Download and install universalandroot.apk.
2. Open Universal Androot from your launcher and click ROOT.
3. From Market, download titanium backup * root.
3. Run titanium. if it fails, click the Problems? button. Click OK to download busybox. after the installation, close titanium and relaunch it. having a task manager installed helps with this.
4. Run titanium. click the backup/restore button. select an application to remove.
I removed Serve.Me (comes with the generic french fw), and facebook. I kept moxier as I use it for work email.
Everything works great. I hope this helps some folks out there.
BTW, x10 is about to launch in the US. Better have 2.1 with it or SE will be a huge failure here.
@Tommy
Hi. So I tried your method and it worked. I removed moxier and used wifi tethering. Now I want to unroot but there is no unroot button. So how do I unroot my x10 after using your method? Is it possible. In another apk. it has the option to root and unroot but that apk was not working for me so i tried your method and it did work. if there is any way to unroot now. can u please either write it on here or send me an email @ usman22489@googlemail.com. Thanks man 🙂
@Iglesias21
hi my method work fine for me… there is root and unroot.. I have try unroot after that..
barnacle and titanium not work anymore… so u can uninstall barnacle, titanium and superuser.. everything work fine here.. but I will keep my phone root.. becuz of titanium app 🙂
p.s. this virus from this root app.. is hamless without c complier.. so u dont need to be worry about this virus!! on yours phone if u keep it as root mode.

1 – why root?
2 – when rooted, how to delete apk’s?
That’s all, thanks.
Hi, thanks to the unknown hackers, good job. The second apk worked for me. I now have a terminal app with superuser/root on the phone, and was able to delete the unwanted apps.
The next thing I want to do is to change the theme/wallpaper: Not to change the normal wallpaper, but the background that is displayed behint apps, sms etc.
I found the path to the homescreen directory, where a “semcdefault.jpg” is stored:
etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/homescreen/wallpaper
I can copy it to the sd-card, and then on the pc, and change it. However, I did not try to store a changed background back into /homescreen, because I read in another forum, that someone tried and it did not work. I do not know if he rebooted, and assume, that should be done. I am also not sure if a different filesize makes a difference here, and I want to be carefull to not brick my phone.
Does anyone have any further information about how to change semcdefault.jpg / the app background?
I also read in another forum, that someone managed to change the boot animation by changing the .png-files in the animation-directory. Can someone confirm this?
Reboot = switch phone off, and on again
Benefits of root: your phone is a computer running linux, you become administrator and can change anything a normal user must not change. Also you can brick your phone easily, so be careful with deleting stuff you do not know. Deleting Game Trils is no problem.
Another question: Why should I unroot my phone again? as far as i can tell, it is only in root mode when an app is granted permission for that, i.e. my terminal app now allows to be su. But when I type “exit” in the rootshell, it changes back to the normal “$” prompt, and has no su rights. So what is the benefit of unrooting?

One problem though. I’ve verified root status; Barnacle+Titanium work correctly, and Moxier+Timescape are gone. However, I still can’t get rid of several apps (Creatouch, Spotify, Windows Live Messenger).
Any ideas? Do I need to debrand as well, and will the process for this be any different after rooting?

how i can sign out from my Gmail account and from google talk from Xperia mini ? please help.
What this post lacks is some clear and concise instruction. It is very easy to do, and all you need are a few simple apps.
1. download the UniversalAndroot apk. Save it on your X10 SD card
2. go to marketplace and grab File Manager, and Titanium backup
3. using file manager, go to save location of the apk and install ( you must make sure under applications you allow installation from Unknown Sources, and under development you check USB debugging)
4. Install apk, and also allow Superuser to be installed at the same time
5. if successful it will say WOOT you have rooted the phone 🙂
6. Open Titanium back up and go to the backup and restore tab. Here you can select and uninstall any application listed….yes even Moxier 😉
It is that simple!

Hi I deleted gtalk and messed my phone up lol. I fixed by saving all to titanium. Going on my laptop going in my laptop and connecting the xperia. Update via the se update service. Now your back to unrooted. Root again and get titanium back…restore what you want but leave gtalk. There is no way of putting gtalk back again that I know to. Hope this helps.
Do not remove gtalk! It kills your market. Moxier, keyboards, games are fine. Get titanium, set could and cachemate. Enjoy faster xperia! Just don’t delete things your not sure of.
Hi, as many Android users I made the mistake of removing gtalk. I followed your instructions using pc companion.

hi i dont have market on my x10 how to get it plz reply to my mail
trying to root my x10 mini, but can’t find the app in the market.
howcome?
I used Universal Root , it said it was rooted but Titanium said it wasn’t, so I uninstalled Universal Root and installed from here instead:

This seems to have worked. I thought once rooted I could input a Vodafone Ireland APN on a X10 that was locked to Orange UK, but it dosen’t seem to open the page for me either as I get a blank page when I go to Access Point Names.
Anyone able to tell me how to do this as I’m new to all this?

Excellent – was able to remove Peggle and the unwanted apps within 5 minutes, using Rootx10.apk followed by Titanium. Thanks!

Hello all,
I have had my x10 for 2 months now. I havent have much time to try stuff on it as I’ve been travelling a lot and been busy.
I have tried to root my x10, but I am not sure if the rooting works. I am not even sure how to walk through the rooted phone, once my phone is rooted. I have used Universal root. It shows that the phone is rooted in one click, but I am not really sure if I have a rooted phone. I have tried to look for video guidelines, but I haven’t really found anything which is simple and can be understood by someone who is not that tech savvy.
I would really request someone to provide me with guidelines/links/blogs where I can understand the rooting process, review my rooted phone and use the benefits of the same. The simpler your provided links would be to understand, the better it would be. Like I said earlier, I am not a techhy guy, but the smart phone has interested me a lot off late.
PLEASE HELP!!!! Thanks in advance!
For those asking for Barnacle, now you shouldn’t use athwlan0, instead use only wlan0, found in xda.

Hi x10
I hv one doubt here.
If I use the wifi thethering will I be able to share the internet connection which is currently running on my PC with my x10i ?
I need to connect my phone to Internet using my PC wireless.
Is that possible?
I have a Japanese xperia x10 from DoCoMo. All I want is to install Hebrew fonts, but to do that I need to get ‘su’, and I get permission denied. I downloaded both UniversalAndroot ans X10root, but both failed.
Very frustrating.
Will the root work if you already updated your xperia x10 to android version 2.1, because I’m reading some comments saying the root doesn’t work and that they have android 2.1.
hi i have just got the xperia mini pro i have downloaded some apps and now the phone is telling me low memory and would like to kno how you save or transfer the apps to the sd card.

Hi i have XPERIA X10MINI PORO
please can you tell me how can i delete gmail accounts i created on EMAIL ACCCOUNTS,without resetting the mobile.
Thank You!!!
I just finished rooting my x10a. It worked perfectly. Many thanks to those responsible for this…
BTW, for those people who are having problems,
1. Download sideload wonder machine
2. Download UniversalAndroot.apk or x10Root.apk
3. Run SWM then follow instructions how to use SWM
4. Run Universal AndRoot on your phone. Super User icon will appear on your phone if this works for you.
Hope this helps.
I’m still having problems on how to install non-market apps saved on my sd and how to uninstall AT&T preloaded apps? i’m using astro file manager to browse through my phone files and still cant figure how.. ANyone who can help me???
i just Bought the x10 mini and its awesome!
however i have a problem, i cant connect to android market, Gmail, and google talk. everytime i try to make an account it says it cant connect to the google server.
this is wierd beacuse i can use facebook and internet. and WIFI connection is fine. can it be my SIM card that doesnt support the google server or? something?
I want to root my X10, but I’ve tried this file plus the X10Root alternative also linked to in here and on both occasions the programme shows that root has failed.
Are there any other suggestions that might help?
Many thanks.
Heya, i got the x10i here, and neither universal androot or x10root works for me. Dunno if i did something wrong, but yeah, basic same problem with everyone else.
I have an Xperia X10a running android 1.6 and when I download the apk, it says install blocked. I go to Setting > Applications and then there is no button that says Allow Unknown Sources.
While using gtalk on my experia x10 mini pro the incoming chats are always displayed at the top and I always have to scroll up to view the reply.
It appears as below.

hi i read a lot of forums about rooting and also read different answers about whether rooting the phone will void the SE warranty or not. some no it won’t, a lot yes it will.
has someone really confirmed it? i called the service center in sony ericsson and they said if the phone was broken because you installed a program from a third party, then the warranty is void. that’s all. they even don’t know what’s rooting (i’m quite disappointed at them)
but i’ve read that you can unroot the phone. but will SE be able to trace if the phone was rooted or not?
I have a lot of images, musics and videos in my SD card, will the rooting wipe them all out?
I can root my phone with the x10 root app but then I won’t be able to unroot it with the same app…so later can i use the universal androot to unroot my x10
hi, how to root x10 mini 2.1 , i try all root tool also can not.

Hi all, friend just sent me his sony x10 xperia cell phone bought in France to use while in France. We are leaving next week. But alas he did not send any instructions with it and I haven’t the foggiest idea how to use it. He is unavailable while traveling, so I can’t reach him. Just basically need it to make and receive phone calls. Don’t need a lot of other fancy stuff. Have it charging now from my laptop. Would appreciate anyone sending me some basic info on how to use the phone. Can’t find any user manual on the internet that doesn’t want a lot of money. Someone, anyone, please help. Thanks, Steve

To everyone having problems rooting their Xperia X10, use SuperOneClick. Can be found in XDA Forums and it worked like a charm for me.
It´s pretty much a “Click-One-Button-And-You´re-Done” program.
Here´s the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682&highlight=sony+ericsson+x10i
I´ve installed CyanogenMod 6 and it´s running really smoothly on my phone.
Only thing I seem to have problem with this ROM is wifi not working properly.
Otherwise it´s great. And it´s Android 2.2.1
CyanogenMod 7 is based on Android 2.3 I think, but it doesn´t support Xperia X10 (yet).
There´s a lot of guides in the XDA forums too on the process of rooting your phone and installing a custom ROM etc.
But I suggest you read some about rooting first. If you brick your device your warranty probably won´t help you very much. So do it on your own risk. I did. And I couldn´t be more happy I finally tried it!
It looks like everyone have trouble.
I tried the link to megaupload.com, and ended on a pokersite, then i read all the posts, and those who have other solutions, also have problems themselves.
I am extremely disappointed, and will have to find help on another site.

Hi, I’ve rooted my X10 and back up my apps with Titanium, wanted to download more apps from the market but I can’t anymore. Who can help me PLEASE!
Regards Pauline
I have X10a and have found a site with easy downloads excellent support and IT WORKS FOR SURE if you want to debrand/flash, root, update. Do search for DaVinci Team and you will find their site search for your phone and the rest is history. Happy downloading
heres is the link for the davinciteam http://blog.davinciteam.com/mobile-news/upgrade-xperia-x10-to-android-2-3/
Rooted my X10 using SuperOneClick (v1.5.5) – easy peasey. Load the app onto windows, press the root button, it does it! No SDK’s and other complicated installs and command line excecutions.
Downloaded Barnicle Tether from the App market place for free, installed it and within two minutes had a fully working wireless access point for use with my ipad and other mobile devices.
Thanks again to focused technical people for good advice and great solutions.

Cool. I removed some of the stuff but I’d like a list of stuff NOT to remove.
Basically I don’t want to remove any stuff that might stop my X10 Mini from working.
Hi, Again,
There’s quite a few apps on my X10 Mini but I don’t know what a lot of them are for. For example, what’s ‘Timescape’ and do I need, (or want), it?.
Just recently my X10 Mini started ‘eating’ the battery power. It dropped by about 4% in one hour. I ‘killed’ as much, in the way of apps, as I could and then re-booted. Now it’s better and the photo browser runs faster as well. I don’t know what was eating the power.
what do i gain by rooting my experia x10 mini ?
do i have to upgrade first ?
Universalandroot and x10root dont work/failed on my device x10mini,i cant use my sd card to install apps,my phone memory are runing low
