Hey if i run this script should i have my bootloader unlocked or no??
No need to unlock your bootloader..
Just run the batch file(.bat) and let it root...
It will also reboot the phone....
Anyway it can harm my phone or brick
I've successfully used this method to install Superuser.apk, the su-binary and busybox.
My build no. is 4.0.1.A.0.284
TrackID, as one would expect, is still working.
Next task is to remove the preinstalled bloat.
Ok thanks. I will also remove many apps Xperia 2011 has a bunch full of crap apps
But I got Xperia mini build no. 4.0.2.A.42 will this work?
you should release it earlier
i had give sony my IMEI!!!!!! sad.............
Thank i have successfully rooted my phone now i am trying to unlock bootloader but it is so hard to do it in the hardware trick way

Hey guys I am a android newbie got a Neo V recently..I would like to use Titanium backup/brightness hack to move most of the apps to SD Card, and read that requires root..
Is rooting perfectly safe? cuz am not really interested in going beyond the stock SE Rom or anything?
And if I get any future SE official device updates, should I unroot the device before installing new updates or the root can be left as it is??

I'm also rooted and on stock and it still has many advantages. It's easy if you have an unlocked bootloader, else I don't know.

I dont want to unlock my bootloader, I am not looking to install custom roms or anything..
Can anyone else answer my question above, and can I follow this to just root my phone?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
Root it using the zergrush method (rooting doesnt remove the warranty) its very easy and no need to unlock the bootloader , then just get app2sd or similar to move the apps to SD.
After rooting you can do many more things like removing carrier apps, move apps, supercharge, etc.
Hello guys, this is my first post in the forum, but I've been using CM for around 1 year... in the past with a Samsung Galaxy 5 and now with an Xperia Ray... I hope I can help out in many ways to the devs community.
I have some questions for you, as I'm a newbie with my Ray... I am reading and reading posts in XDA, and now I'm in a strange situation. I want to flash CM7 (hope CM9 soon) in my Ray, but since the Bootloader unlock allowed:NO message comes to my phone I feel very sad about it. I tried to boot into Fastboot, but the phone simply refuses to do it and only starts with the orange led and starts charging, but no Fastboot...
The first thing I tried was Root the Ray, and the I managed to do it with a simple tool (you can find the latest version here)
[Xperia 2011 Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit)] (can't post links yet)
Still my Bootloader is locked... so I think the CWM installation was impossible, later, I found this tool:
[SE Extreme Tweak Installer v1.8] (can't post links yet)
Then, I had installed CWM onto the Xperia Ray, without unlocking the Bootloader yet... (yes, it works at boot having the vol- key pressed as well) and yes, you can flash files (actually I modded some things on the original rom from CWM)...
The question is... Am I missing something to flash CM7/9??
Can I flash CM7/9 now??
Do you think this method will work for Xperia models??
Do you have any sugestions on this??
What if I don't unlock the bootloader and flash CM7/9??
My phone is operator locked, is this a problem to flash CM7/9??
If I flash the CM7/9 rom, will my phone be bricked??
My bootloader still says Bootloader unlock allowed: No :S. By the way, I do have a Xperia ST18a not a ST18i.
PD: I do not own any of those tools. I am only telling my method, so I you think this is a valuable information please says thanks to the developers above (and if you want, me too )

Any ideas on how to do it?.
I've tried the testpoint method, but no success... I simply can boot in fastboot. Does it matters if the phone is network locked?...

Your phone is sim locked. You have to get it unlocked so it can accept any sim 1st before you unlock bootloader. Then it will say Allowed yes

OK, so I will go to my operator and unlock it as well... they gave me the code, but it simply doesn't works, the said:
dial #987654321# and a menu will appear and you can enter the code there... NOTHING !!!
I'll talk to you guys when I have my phone unlocked...
Solved!
Hi guys, after 25 days my operator finally unlocked my phone (it looks like they locked the phone with 5 wrong codes... and have to do the magic on the SE Support Service). Then, that was easy... not the unlock bootloader with the wire trick (took me more than I expected) but now everything is ok!
I'm a proud owner of a CM9 Xperia ray!... anyway, do you know if the Xperia Ray supports USB-OTG?
Any thoughts with HDMI? mini HDMI? or MHL interface on the Xperia Ray?
Please let me know if you think I can help out with something... or If you have questions just ask and I'll do my best...
The USB port on the ray is not MHL
if the USB port on Ray is not MHL, so we don't have any options to export the Ray screen to any display/TV?. Even with the dock?
Hey guys im new in this forum,i have been trying to root my neo with the assistance of easy rooting without flashing( by the way my android version but on 2.3.4) but it always says failed and unable to copy superuser and other essential files i mean do i need to unlock bootloader in order to root?

My recomendation is to unlock bootloader using testpoint method (if you're doing using SE official method,you'll void warranty) install CWM and then flash rootxperia.zip
Please use search function. This information is already published in this forum and there is no need of a new thread for same questions. Thanks
I just got an Xperia S, it's a great phone.
I had The Xperia X10 (unlocked bootloader, x10s rom doomkernel max overclock)
I want to unlock my bootloader but I cant get the drivers installed on mij X64 bit windows & pc.
I tried it for 2 day and read allod of posts here.
Can somebody please help me?
I'm Even Willing to PAY good money If someone helps me (of does it for me)
If someones willing please contact me and If you can do the unlocking (I live in Tilburg/the Netherlands) that would even be greater
download the flashtool its has drivers with it. or you can try to download and install pda.net
Ok, I have that, I tried to root and unlock it the same as I did with the x10 it didn't work. Do I have to flash anything in flashtool? Follow the official unlock method (from Sony) or do something els?
Thanks for anwsering so quick buddy!!
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I think you unlock x10 using something like easy 1 click similar stuff.
That method is not available with xperia s. As of now, the only way to root is to flash a pre root image. In order to do so, you need to unlock bootloader which also means, you will lose the DRM key.
You can get the full tutorial in the development section.
I know, I followed the instruction only to get stuck at step 13.
if I do this My PC says He couldn.t find any comparable drivers.
here is a screenshot, mayb someone can see where I did What incorrect?
everything worktoud wit an other link for the xperia arc files,
just flast doomlord's latest kernel, looking for wifi files and then I'm ready
I have rooted my xperia mini st15i and update/flashed to firmware ics 4.0.4 build no- .587, but now this acted unrooted, and i cant access the root features of my phone like superuser app. please help me. is SU (binary) file is currupted?? how can i regain the access to root?? please help me regarding this. thank you!!:crying:
on which method did you use to root your phone?
if you did it with flashtool make sure the log is right or same as it says on tutor
and if you done it on cmd do some upgrade on the super user apk it self.
hope this help
