I think there will be no problem with rooting Your phone. Same for America , Europe etc.
What is your baseband and firmware? Please tell us so we can recommend some good ROMS for you.
Then I will give some links of how to root your phone.

could you post the link for the generic x10 rom? THANKS SO MUCH OFR HELPING!
It should be in the flashtool link. When I get to a computer I will see.
It is there, which X10 model do you have, a or i? Pick the one according to the model you have. And the firmware should be the .435 firmware. I will edit the post if the firmware number is wrong.

heres more info about my x10
model is SO-01B
baseband is 2.0.52
build number:2.0.1.B.0.19
so which rom do you want? There is a few with the .52 baseband. If you want a rom with a .54 baseband, we must use flashtool to get that.
do you have any roms you are thinking of flashing?
Once we figure that out, you can root the phone with flashtool and I will help you out with the rom you want to flash

So you need help, why not use the the sticky's, threads and Q&A forum to seek it, this has nothing to do with Development buddy.
And wrong section again. If you live in USA then use x10a else x10i

You need to downgrade to GB and then use local.prop method. There is a tutorial on the Dev section

Unlock your bootloader and you can find a very easy TUT in the dev section. I rooted my device with it. Good luck

Xperia Mini Pro SK17i Update mystery
Xperia Mini Pro SK17i update is mystery, i update my Xperia Mini Pro to 4.0.4 ICS and i experienced certain inconsistencies, after searching for hours it found that i should repair my update and after that do factory default, i did that and it made my phone much better. Now everything is fine accept one think that making me hate my phone, it's battery backup which is very ugly. It hardly goes one day in mostly standby mode.
If anyone else like me is frustrated with only battery issue or know how to fix it than please reply...

hi guys,
I am quite a noob, and trying to figure this xperia thing, after at last I managed to nicely root and flash my htc.
But it seems on xperia it is all working different. What I need, is generally to delete bloatware, to do so I need root.
But to get root I need to flash a ROM first? In htc it's rooting so that you can flash roms. It all gets me confused.
Is there a way then to root without any weird downgroading/flashing roms?

If you are on gingerbread you can root it on older Firmware than .62/.69, otherwise you must downgrade and upgrade again. Just Check out my signature

If you want to remove bloatware apps it's easier to remove them from the zip package before you flash the rom.
Open the the rom using 7zip or similar program (open archive NOT extract it).
Then go into the system folder and there is an app folder (system/app).
The app folder contains pretty much most the app's that are on your rom.
Just go through them and delete the app's you don't want, there are plenty of lists around of safe apps to delete/remove, there are some on here and if you google you will find more.
