Rooting a Rogers Sony Ericsson X10a running the Global generic Android v2.1 (Eclair) firmware using SuperOneClick.

Rooting does NOT make the Market free nor does it unlock your phone. It allows you to run applications such as Titanium Backup, Barnacle WiFi tether, etc. as well as uninstall system applications like Moxier or install system applications such as the updated Gingerbread YouTube application: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EHQMDfRU4E

If you have a crappy antivirus program, "RageAgainstTheCage" is FALSELY identified as a virus. It is NOT a virus. It modifies system files on your phone (required for rooting, obviously) and is therefore seen as a virus. Download Microsoft Security Essentials: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

Works on ANY X10 running 2.1.
Does NOT unlock your phone. Does NOT re-lock your unlocked phone.
(SIM lock and rooting are independent.)
