For those of you who have already upgraded to Android 2.1, or perhaps have been holding off on confirmation of the newer Android OS being rootable on the X10, there’s good news. Several members of the XDA Developers have been able to root their Xperia X10 handsets running Android 2.1. Which also means if you’ve gone ahead and rooted your handset to edit the default.prop file to upgrade, you can now edit the values back, which others are reportedly doing.

Users have been able to root their Xperia X10 handsets for a while now. Shortly after root access was gained for the Xperia X10, both the X10 Mini and Mini Pro became rootable. Now an app has been released onto the market making the process even simpler. It does however seem that you will need the ability to install third party apps enabled. By downloading Universal Androot from the Android Market (the QR code is below but, a QR/barcode scanner app is required) the application will provide you with a list of all the supported phones and a list of those that aren’t supported.
