Rooting using the Exploid method:
http://android.doshaska.net/x10miniroot

Guide:

This hack http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2010/07/android-trickery.html is almost universal.
I've compiled and tested a version for X10 mini.
Download: exploid_x10mini.zip
- download and extract the archive...

You will need ADB from Android SDK and USB drivers for X10 mini (part of Sony Ericsson PC Companion).
Enable USB debugging on the phone in Settings>Applications>Development and connect the phone to PC via USB.
Add the Power Control widget to your active widgets on the phone, so you can quickly turn off and on the wi-fi function.
From the command line (on windows it's cmd.exe):
cd c:\exploid_x10mini (or another folder where you've extracted the files from exploid_x10mini.zip)
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid
adb push busybox /sqlite_stmt_journals/busybox
adb shell
cd sqlite_stmt_journals
chmod 755 exploid
chmod 755 busybox
Immediately after the next command, you will need to disable and enable the wi-fi using the power widget on the phone:
./exploid
then run:
rootshell
enter password rootnow
prompt will change to # - now we have root
./busybox cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/
./busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/
./busybox cp busybox /system/bin/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
rm /system/bin/rootshell
exit - out of rootshell
exit - out of adb shell

Verification:
When you run the abd shell again and issue su command, the Superuser.apk will run on the phone and will ask whether to allow the root permissions...

Mod edit: I felt it was better to have the guide her for new users. Or people not trusting external links.

Now with "ROOT" it should be "easy" to remove the applications that the network providers install by default. Maybe i'm wrong.

in the adb shell
rm -r /system/app/*********.apk

Have to try this at home.

Working perfectly in X10 mini (E10i), many thanks Kabaldan! :)

To remove or copy apps, the path would be:

adb shell
$su
#busybox rm -r /system/app/<file.apk> --removes the app
#busybox cp /sdcard/<file.apk> /system/app/<file.apk> --copies the app from SDCard

Be sure to install the Sony Ericsson PC Companion, and remember to enable USB Debug under Settings>Programs->Development (on your phone)..

After that connect your phone in "Charge only" state, then run the command...

    Yes, but we must have a rooted phone. If we can't root we can't install this firmware, so we stay in the same step, unrooted. :(


    If thats your problem then try the Flash version 2.1 provided by Bin4ry....which doesn't require any root access before update and even you got latest version of firmware+root(Automatic)............I think that i'll be better option for you!!!!!:D

    Pro: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826455
    Mini: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825664

    In order to use the flasher just try these steps:

    1)Download SEUS and Pc Companion and connect the phone with them at least once (just connect)

    2)Make sure you have the latest java installed on your pc.

    3)Download the flasher from Bin4ry (Just make sure you've downloaded the mini and not the mini pro edition).

    4)Download from the same thread a Generic 2.0.A.0.504 FW and put the folder with the .sin files inside the flashtool's directory.

    5)Run the flashtool, press flash and then choose the name of the folder, where the .sin files are in.

    6)While the phone is off, keep the back button pressed and connect on usb until the green light is on.
