Sony’s been good at designing stylish smartphones and one such example is the Sony Xperia X10. With a stylish and sleek look and a good set of hardware, the device has really captured the attention of the smartphone users. Unfortunately, software side of the device is a bit disappointing as instead of the Android ICS or Jelly Bean firmware that you were expecting, you’re gonna get the Gingerbread experience, an aged firmware. However, the device is root-able and once you root it, you’ll have the opportunity to bump up your firmware version to ICS or maybe to Jelly Bean by simply using the custom ROMs available out there. Advantages of root access don’t end here, there’re many and listing them all here isn’t possible. So, for now, just root your device and you will be able to realize the true power of root access after that. Here you go:
