with with Doomlord solution...is more interesting because you do a bit of culture..
Ive rooted my mini pro with superoneclick that used the gingerbreak exploit after I unlocked bootloader, and until someone finds a different exploit , we cant root without unlocking the bootloader

If you stay on stock Rom you can get rid of the bloatware (the stuff SE puts pre-installed on the phone like Game/Program download, the 2 apks with market links..) also you can use some root-only apps like backup and automatic clocksync that works.

Also you can load custom versions of android, overclock your device (make faster) and underclock it (to save battery), also you can customize the ui to anything you want if you know what your doing.

I really want to root my phone easily with SuperOneClick or Gingerbreak.
Tell me when it can be root with it
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
you can root your phone now. All you have to do is:
unlock bootloader (read about it before you do!)
(if you aren't on the right FW -> Flash Firmware!)
flash unsecure kernel
simple root via superoneclick
done
Oh and remember you loose trackid amongst other stuff (search xda)

Is there (currently) a way to root an mini pro (SK17i) WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader first? I don't want to flash a Custom ROM just to be able to install Titanium Backup - for me the only reason to root a device.
as far as i know:
no sorry, no way to root android 2.3.3. (at least the one from sony ericsson with .368 or .335) on the new sony ericsson phones without bootloader unlock right now !
sad to say but true. Since, sk17i is new, there is no method like superone to root it. I wish they made it rooted already
well, since the normal user should not be able to have root access on his device I think not deliver it rooted is a good idea. However, I think it would be a good idea for the companies to make it easier to root... the only reason i made a bootloader unlock is for rooting... and thats kind of a hard instrument for just root!

Do I have to flash doomlord's firmware and then go on super one click or from stock firmware from England can I just root with super one click safely.

I used doomlords firmware and mines rooted successfully.
Try with his first, then if it works , try the English firmware and do the same steps.
Sorry if im not clear with my answers this is the first forum ive actively posted on

superoneclick uses exploits to get root if the phone doesnt have unsecure kernel. However, there is no exploit for the new gingerbread SE software right now (gingerbreak is fixed!). Therefore there is now chance right now to get root without unlocking bootloader and flash unsecure kernel :/
Therefore you have to flash the unsecure kernel, and then superoneclick gets root quite easily.
Oh, so basically the unsecure kernel hasnt got the patch or fix or update that stops you from rooting, its been removed ? Am I right ???
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
no, there is just an option "secure" which (if set to 0) allows superoneclick to root very easy!
Oh k, I get it

Hello and sorry if this has been already asked. I just got my new Xperia Ray and I want to root it, but I can't. I have locked bootloader, android version 2.3.4 and firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62. Tell me exactly what to do cause I am really newbie. Send me links with tutorials to follow if needed.
P.S.: Moderators move it to right.section if it isn't right now. As I said I new here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567125
here for .62
as for unlocking bootloader , use the testpoint method , dont use the official SE method because if you use that method, your phone will brick when you apply the update from them.
With test point, you can get the official sony's ICS update.

I would just google "how to root xperia ray." Seriously thats how I rooted my droid x. Thats actually how most network problems get fixed at work.

I did googled, but it seems locked bootloader is the problem. And I can't unlock with testpoints. Any way to root with locked bootloader? Also I managed to get to 4.0.2.A.0.42.

if you got any problems with the testpoint, i think you have to try harder as i also had failed so many time doing that...maybe you have to manually install the driver..
I downgrade to .42 with flashtool and rooted with zerg tool. Then installed busybody and cwm with se tweak. All with locked bootloader!

Hey guys, i rooted my Xperia mini pro (4.0.2.A.0.62) by downgrading to .42 and rooted it..
then Upgraded to ICS via PC suite and not the rootaccess is unavailable
what happened? what should i do? how can i keep ICS and being rooted?
Did you follow the tutorial about rooting ICS? Just updating ofcourse doesn't keep root.
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium
follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709880
Is that so?
But I still have the SuperUser app in my app drawer and it shows the apps it has granted root access but actually those apps can't access root.
Should I have to flash Roms again? Or can't I make superuser app work again?
And should I have to root each time I upgrade via Sony or flash a custom Rom?

If you are on gingerbread Firmware (4.0.2.A.0.xx, but NOT .62 or .69) you can root it using Sony flashtool. Just connect device (USB debugging and unknow sources on) and click on the Open padlock.
If you are on ics you have to Flash gingerbread (for example .42) Firmware back, root it. Then there's a little Trick before upgrading to ics, with which it is pretty easy to root. But Do it like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514 this thread
Pls tell us which Software Version you are currently on!

What is the easiest way to root Xperia sola without unlocking the bootloader because I dont want to lose my warranty
Thanks...
There is no way to root Xperia Sola Gingerbread based ROM without unlocking the bootloader. Don't worry, you can relock the bootloader if you want by flashing again. Another way is first upgrade to ICS firmware via PC companion and then root it. I heard, ICS firmware support rooting without unlocking the bootloader
what android version are you on?
First of all, if u want to root ur phone easily, u should update to ics.
Once updated to ics, u can root ur phone easily using binary's root

If ur new to this u can also follow the video he uploaded to know how it should be done:

This rooting method seems quite easy to do, but considering that after it with SU rights it is possible to modify and delete the system files, what about the warranty even with the bootloader locked?
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
As far as i know, it should not remove the warranty.. and even if it does, u can always unroot the phone as easily as u root it so it shudnt be a problem
But with root I could also delete some important system files that could cause the complete lock of the phone: so, how could it be possible to unroot in this case?
