What version do you have now? Unless it's newer than R2BA023, just use this guide... Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware!
Latest version is R2BA024 relased last week in HongKong.
Looking for R2BA024 ROOT
What are the changes in the R2ba024 update.?

Hi I have just got an X10 and it is locked I believe and it is running the first android 1.6 it has never been updated or anything.
I would like to know how I can update it to 2.1 froyo and also if there is a way to unlock the phone my self.
I have had experience with the htc desire but not with the X10.
Thanks for any help or info

No offense mate but just read the forum and use search.
You have experience with android so just use one if the 2.1 threads.

I did look around the forum but I don't know how to usedate to 2.1 from 1.6 I seem to have found out that I need to pay to get phone unlocked.
If someone can point me to a thread that explains how I update that would be great.
Thanks

Download pc companion for sony ericsson and/or SEUS to see if you can upgrade it there. If it says something like you already have an updated version, u can either wait or flash it to 2.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201
Firmware update and unlock is two different things.
You don't get your device unlocked by updating the firmware.
I know them are two different things mate I have rooted my phone with a one click root thing from the market I want to update to 2.1 which I am going to look into now.
But I wondered if there was a free way I could do it myself.
Thanks

The real question is when will we get the 2.3 update from at&t. When the official 2.1 came out for the x10 at&t was late by 6months or more. I suggest you spend the time to read and research about using & installing custom roms because eventually a 2.3 custom rom based on official se sources will be available.

Another option is to debrand your phone, which will remove all of the att bloatware by flashing the global generic firmware, which will allow you to get the update as soon as it is released instead of waiting for att to release their version, it took them around eight months to release their 2.1 update. If you aren't comfortable flashing it youself there are sites, like davinciteam.com, that will make it easier for a price.

How do you flash your device to remove all the att crap and id like to be able to overclock my x10a, any help would be great
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Flash a custom rom after rooting. If you find that too complex you can use TotalGSM or Davinci to debrand the phone, but they charge.
Debranding from att is easiest by just flashing a generic version with flashtool. Or root google debranding xperia x10 its super easy with root explorer

Do just like hoskopico said, root your phone, buy Root Explorer on the market, and edit the build.prop file to one that can be updated (see how to debrand and the list of updated kits, do a quick search for how to debrand and look under "General" for the roll-up to see what kits are available.).

You would probably loose your phone too as there isnt a 2.3.4 rom out for the play apart from CM7
write the wrong thing
Are you talking about the new xloud update? If so I believe others have tried it and lost their root. There is also a chance of bricking if you have your bootloader unlock since that update is not OTA.
If you mean from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 then do it OTA and you will not loose your root.
The OTA of 2.3.4 is out in the UK and I am tempted to update seeing as how the 2.3.3 update kept the root in place.
Can anyone here verify updating a rooted Play from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 using OTA works and keeps the phone rooted afterwards?
2.3.4 already out in the UK? Really?

Its definitely out in the UK, the OTA version anyway. Got the system update alert yesterday and tried updating this morn.
The update downloaded (8mb) but didn't install probably cause I messed up with Titanium.

Hey guys I just received a notification about this update and I'm wondering if I can update if I'm rooted?
Would my root stay?
And can you root release 2?
Also what's the update about and is it worth updating?
A lot of questions I know..... but I would like to know because I've managed to brick my device once before.

It looks like OTA rootkeeper only works if the update does not overwrite or format the partitions. Does anyone know if 4.1.1 (release 2) overwrites or formats the partitions? Let us know if you know or if you have preserved root with OTA rootkeeper.
I want to update for the clock fix, but I am not willing to lose root.

I have seen a couple of reports of people losing root after this update. It seems like the rooting methods have been blocked on this release. So I urge everyone, if you want root DO NOT UPDATE at this time. It does not look like 4.1.1 release 2 is currently rootable, I think we will need a new root method for this firmware release.
UPDATE: 2 people have confirmed release 2 is rootable with moto chopper, another is testing AIO. So it seems like I was wrong and it is OK to update to 4.1.1 release 2. You will need to reroot after the update, but it should be fairly straight forward.
UPDATE 2: I have just updated and rerooted with AIO.
-Dillenger
I will research but could someone tell the benefits of rooting.
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Just use motochopper, connect your xperia tablet s after updating the release 2 firmware and you should get the root back in 2 mins.
