There is no free method to unlock the X10!!! Read one of the numerous threads as stated and choose one of the suggested providers to do it.

[Q] What should I do?

Hi, I'm new here, and I found this website with Google. I hope you already guessed that I've got a question about my phone, the XPERIA X10i.
I have looked at the website, searched and I found some promising things. Things, I would like to have on my XPERIA X10.
I took a look at the Android Development forum, and I found this. Seems very promising, but there is one problem. I don't understand a thing in this thread. The poster in that thread says that I need root on my phone to make it work. What is root? How can I get root? How can I see if I've root?
The poster also warns that he's not responsible for any problems caused by the tweaks. Can it give problems? How big is the chance that I'll get problems?
Also, I've found many ROM in the Android Development forum, what are these things? What can I do with it?
I will keep my questions short for you guys to answer, I've got more questions but I think that will be clear after a while.
Hugs,
Rachelle
Go ahead. download flash tools and root your phone.
Its in Android development section. follow the instructions.
Nothing will happen to your phone. all members here have rooted phones without problem, mee too.
Have fun in XDA. Its a phone freaks heaven
Next if you are interested after rooting get Xrecovery installed using flash tool.
if you like the idea of custom roms, find yourself a nice rom.
I suggest wolfbreaks 2.2 but there are many good roms for everyone.
If you have any issue's or problems pm me, it saves having new threads on these busy pages.
Welcome and have fun.
Sorry, but what is flashtools?

It's best to ask questions in the Q&A thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=745
Unless there has been a thread dedicated for a certain subject.
Try to search for answers before making too many posts.
Thread has already started here, so why would I make another one , and I can't find anything about the x10 boost.

Everything regarding this particular X10 Boost method is in.....
/drumroll
the X10 Boost thread!
Jokes aside, since you are looking for opinions and experiences on this method and there's already a multi-page thread about it, you should have posted there and not start a new one.
Happy posting and good luck!

In all development threads there's a warning and a "Use it at your own risk" note, which intends to save the developers/modders from the "You killed my phone, I hate you" posts.
It is true that something can go wrong when you are messing with your phone, that's why I suggest you do some reading before moving on to modding your phone.
Don't worry, we've all been there, feeling lost, not knowing what to do.

Lots of things actually, depending on what is it you do.
For example, in the X10 Boost method you're looking into, if you set too extreme values, you could face freezes, lags, reboots, apps shutting down when you need them to be running in the background...
That's why I said that if you know what you're doing, you will most probably know what can go wrong too.

Thanks, I will try it tonight or tomorrow morning. Is there some kind of way, for if it goes wrong that I can make my phone again ''normal''?
This guy is obviously a newbie so break him in gently. Rooting is a good place to begin but pushing him towards custom roms is pushing it a bit too far for now.

Yes, there are quite a lot of ways actually.
You can backup with xRecovery or flash a stock ROM with Flashtool or repair with SEUS or PC Companion.
Search for the FlashTool thread, download it, root your phone, install xrecovery and read the several guides around here.

Thank you again for your fast and helpful replies!
Thank you again for all help! I succesfully rooted my phone, installed xRecovery all on my phone. Now I would like to put a ROM on my phone. I saw there are things working and not working, which ROM would you recommend me to use? Which ROM are you using?

Nah, I don't think he was rude.
He just said you are a "newbie", which is not a bad thing, it means you just started with your X10!
Glad you are a girl, I was feeling lonely here among the guys!

Rooting without bootloader unlock?

Yes, I know there are various threads upon the notion of rooting, but this particular issue was not mentioned.
I was browsing and found that you can root various Xperia phones without unlocking the bootloader, and therefore preserving warranty (see http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/root-your-xperia-phone-without-voiding-warranty/)- however, at current no exploit was found for this device as far as forums have shown.
Should I take it that we are unable to follow the above method at present, or will we ever be able to do so?
Sorry for the question. I'm not quite a noob, but the Sony setup with bootloaders being unlocked, rooting not invalidating warranty and whatnot awful confusing. I was so more understanding with my old HTC HANDSETS!
Many thanks,
SN.

Rashkae are you the self appointed thread police or something?
Every time someone duplicates something your on them like a flash.
Most people search and sometimes nothing comes up, sometimes people are bone idle and can't be bothered, annoying I know, but if it bothers you that much, instead of giving a sarcastic answer, just bite your lip and don't answer at all.
Surely we're all here to help each other.

damn, you beat me to it.
he's so freaking annoying.
I'm sorry if I caused confusion (and a slight dispute), but as a newbie with Sony handsets, it's not so straightforward coming from a different brand of mobile.
Maybe a stickie in simple, easy to understand English might be handy for people in a similar position?

So definitly no way to root with bootloader locked? I hope they find a another way to root, because I cant unlock my bootloader due to my phone company.
I have not found anything on this site, so I suppose the answer is totaly not, but who knows....therefore I ask

Bootloader unlock for ALL phones

i would like to share with you the work of this guy, that maybe could permit the unlocking of every phone, even those with unlocking disallowed

i have already unlocked my xperia s(with the official method), so i can't help him
but i think that lots of people would be interested and could test his work

And not everyone think that the solution to this problem is in the U section of the forums

I am looking for a way to get root access for my Droid DNA. Now that it has been updated and runs android 4.4.2 I am unable to locate any way to root it. I have searched youtube and google with no success. Any easy and safe suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
In general there is a thread titled, Am I too late to root, with all the info.

'been working on s-off for three weeks now. Your message saved me. I have so many emotions right now.
If only someone had come into my thread with this info when I asked pretty much the same question. Could've been done days ago.
Better late than never though! Glad someone apparently asked the right question.
