Default 1,2,3,4, Root all from app market

IDK if people use this but i use it and it works JUST FINE...

to root my 2.1 xperia x10 mini pro i just went on app market...

typed in "root" into search and scroll down a LITTLE

and this Chinese thingy saying z4root--(Chinese symbols ...) root (more symbols)

came up looked at comments seemed legit, downloaded & installed.

it took about 2 - 3 minutes to root the device once I opened it.

looked like it had froze... but it didn't... just took a while to apply the root.

rooted my device, auto restarted it, and Tada works fine now no hassle

it all kinda happy with it.

Even came with the superuser thingy pre-installed too.

downloaded a over-clocking tool and granted root permissions and works fine.

[[[UPDATES]]]

Downloaded systemapp remover used to uninstall lots of apps
still working fine and faster battery lasts longer because of things I don't use
( this is with the over clocking tool keeping my phone at 600mhz ALL DAY )

Heres is a small list I've been messing around with...

nice work, I have found that there is a English version of the same program and it works very well. Tried it on my wife's U20i with Android 1.6.

Thanks a lot, lets see now if I can upgrade to 2.1 :=)

It took less than 30 seconds and the phone did not freeze at all (maybe 1.6 is easier to root than 2.1)

OK, update....

I am not sure that is roots 1.6 (it looked as if it was rooted), but when I tried to open root explorer, I would always get a error saying that it can not access root privileges because of super user. No matter how many times I would reboot the phone or reopen root explorer the same message would always pop up.

Now I have updated to 2.1 (officially with SEUS), and I am trying this tool again.

Hope that this time it will work. So far I am waiting for it to root for 6 minutes. Will post back how much time it took.

Regards to all.

Update:

After 15 min and I was still waiting for the root. I ended up taking out the battery, and doing it again. The device got rooted the 2nd time quite fast (max 2 min), and now I can use root explorer, thus I have finally rooted the phone.

Have fun.

a question about the root... is it full root (s-off)?

I want to install font changer (to get bigger fontsize), and despite my having rooted my phone, and granted su permissions to this app, it tells me it doesn't have permission to write to the system partition, where the fonts are.

I have been trying via adb shell via cmd on the PC, a terminal emulator on the phone, I get the #, but no joy when I try to mount as rw.

Tried mounting each folder on the phone to rw, didn't work either

This is with Android 2.1 (I have managed to remove all Vodafone branding, games trials from the phone, so the basic su permissions are there, just not the "FULL ROOT")
