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.?

You will loose root but easy to fix
Sideloading is already build in the new update so don't need any mod
Hotpot will break but is easy to fix

Thank you. I updated and all is good. I need to root so I can use hotspot. Is there more than one method to root? What should I use?

Hmm what could be the issue? Or if i have to wait, how long to wait for the root to be clickable? I'm a little worn out over these issues, as part of it is my fault as i already have it rooted everything done. But funny thing is when i optimize my phone or try to install the android keyboard (not the default input) it won't reboot. So i went to use another flashtool to try to install it but ended up i face some issues but i got it fixed. Puzzled, are we not allowed to optimize or install custom apks?
You canNot optimize with flashtool (for 2.3) what are you running???

Try flash it again and don't optimize it with flash tool, it breaks xrec and might cause bootloop...

This happened to me as well, you gotta keep trying and it at the right moment. try flashing downgrade, then upgrade and then again downgrade and then try...it takes a few tries. I just rooted my device.

Sorry to say mate you cannot root this using soc or any other easy root method.
You have either to downgrade to build .42 using flashtools then root then update ota.
ONLY DO THIS IF BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED.
If bootloader is unlocked then you can flash a pre rooted kernel which will give you root.
If you go to the se arc pages look in the stickies all the info you need is there with links to the tools you need.
Hope this helps

If you are on gingerbread Firmware (4.0.2.A.0.xx, but NOT .62 or .69) you can root it using Sony flashtool. Just connect device (USB debugging and unknow sources on) and click on the Open padlock.
If you are on ics you have to Flash gingerbread (for example .42) Firmware back, root it. Then there's a little Trick before upgrading to ics, with which it is pretty easy to root. But Do it like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514 this thread
Pls tell us which Software Version you are currently on!
