Download flashtool (second post in the x10 mini pro development section)
Install it
Install the drivers in the drivers subfolder if you don't have Sony Update Service or PC Companion
Delete x10blrelock.ftf from the firmsares subfolder. (it will brick your phone if you accidentally flash it to your phone)
Run flashtool
Press the padlock button and follow instructions.
Your phone will be rooted.
As for best ROM, opinions differ, so you have to try some out for yourself.

[Q] r00ting guide for X10 Mini Pro?

Hey peeps,
I have read the quick guide in terms of rooting the X10 mini via a '1 Touch Rooting Method' but is it safe to use this guide when rooting the X10 Mini Pro? So that mods are aware I did use the search tool first to find guides on how to root so that I can install custom ROMs but I couldn't find anything on the X10 Mini Pro, some other similar links were dead too.
I just bought this phone today from the Car Phone Warehouse and I don't want to brick my device, I have successfully rooted both the HTC Desire and Wildfire before and installed custom ROMs so I have some knowledge, but any help from you guys would be much appreciated! Thank you...
Search for z4 root dude cant post links from phone dude

You cant "brick" any of the xperia phones since the bootloader is not cracked. Worst thing that could happen is that you have to reflash your phone using flashtool or pc companion/seus.

[Q] I want Gingerbread 2.3.7 for my X10...Need your expertise

Hi Guys,
I would like to seek you expertise regarding my request, im a noobie and its my first time using a Android Phone (SE Xperia X10 Mini Pro is my 1st) So far im enjoying my phones capabilites however, my internal memory seems to be insufficient and the apps2sd is not compatible with my current OS, i saw a dude (having the same phone as mine) and he is using Gingerbread 2.3.7 OS i was amaze and i asked him how did he upgraded his OS - he just nod and said "Visit XDA-Developers and you'll find out" So here i am humbly requesting your assistance in order for me to maximize my phones full potential. Looking forward for your replies....
PS - I dont even have any idea what "rooting" so im currently sifting the website to learn step by step....
Thanks in advance Masters
Fist thing, you need to do, is to root your device. To root your x10 mini pro, you have to install the latest 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware using SEUS or Sony Ericsson Pc Companion, then, download SuperOneClick from here and extract the archive. Don't forget to deactivate your antivirus, while using Super One Click.
1.Check that you have enabled USB debugging in settings->Applications-->Development. Than, just follow step by step video on the site, I gave you). This is a first step of "changing roms"

[Q] Unlck bootloader problem Xperia S (Tilburg)

I just got an Xperia S, it's a great phone.
I had The Xperia X10 (unlocked bootloader, x10s rom doomkernel max overclock)
I want to unlock my bootloader but I cant get the drivers installed on mij X64 bit windows & pc.
I tried it for 2 day and read allod of posts here.
Can somebody please help me?
I'm Even Willing to PAY good money If someone helps me (of does it for me)
If someones willing please contact me and If you can do the unlocking (I live in Tilburg/the Netherlands) that would even be greater
download the flashtool its has drivers with it. or you can try to download and install pda.net
Ok, I have that, I tried to root and unlock it the same as I did with the x10 it didn't work. Do I have to flash anything in flashtool? Follow the official unlock method (from Sony) or do something els?
Thanks for anwsering so quick buddy!!

I think you unlock x10 using something like easy 1 click similar stuff.
That method is not available with xperia s. As of now, the only way to root is to flash a pre root image. In order to do so, you need to unlock bootloader which also means, you will lose the DRM key.
You can get the full tutorial in the development section.
I know, I followed the instruction only to get stuck at step 13.
if I do this My PC says He couldn.t find any comparable drivers.
here is a screenshot, mayb someone can see where I did What incorrect?
everything worktoud wit an other link for the xperia arc files,
just flast doomlord's latest kernel, looking for wifi files and then I'm ready
