hi,
i have xperia neo and i rooted it before using DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
i updated software using pc companion to 4.0.2.A.62 i lost root but superuser was still installed
i tried to unroot it and root again but no luck superuser.apk is read only and all rooting methods don't work for me
please help i tried everything even factory reset but the superuser is still there and i can't remove it to root again
P.S: is there any way without needing to flash rom ?
Build .62 is currently unrootable so when you updated the firmware it probably broke it. I think the only way to fix it is to flash the rom.

yea you are right..
you must downgrade to .42 for root option..
Thanks guys for the reply.
the problem was solved after i downgraded to .42 and then used FlashTool to root the device if someone had the same problem and wanted to solve it
unfortunately the firmware i downloaded from the form is international version and doesn't have the Arabic language user interface, i will just have to live with it
.62 is rootable, using recovery. You need to flash RootXperia.zip with recovery for locked bootloaders.
Cheers.

Ita not required root man, just usb debugging on and unknown sources on.

I've tried that and it doesn't work.
When you try to install CWM it says that you need allow root access on the screen, but nothing will happen since you don't have root yet.
I had to downgrade.

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.

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!

There's no way to root ICS 4.0.4 directly with locked bootloader. You have to downgrade to GB, get root there and then back to ICS but keeping the root. Follow the steps on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514.

Can you please help with the .img flashing procedure ?
You cant flash custom kernel when your bootloader is locked.
Only way for you to get root access is to downgrade to GB .42/.58 (using Flashtool), root it with doomlord's method, prepare for ICS (xperiaroot method) and flash back to ICS. Then you'll have root access on ICS.
Everything is explained in this thread, check it out!

This firmware cant be rooted with the flashtool or the adb method.
With the adb method when the it's said:
Good, it worked! Now we are rebooting soon, please be patient! ( the device rebooted as excepetd)
Waiting for device to come up again....
Going to copy files to it's place
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
with flashtool: root hack did not work.
and can it be rooted with this?

If you have root now, you can flash the FTF file with flashtool without wipe data, then the root stays.

Confirmed that flashing via flashtool will lose root and you can regain root by any of above mentioned kernels on unlocked bootloader.... For locked bootloader, I don't think there is a method to get root as of now... I think bin4ry will have to update root script for that....
So I just put the new 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware onto my rooted Sola via PC Companion, and when the phone rebooted, I lost root. I was like okay, no prob, let's just root it again with bin4ry's method.
Well, it didn't work. I tried an older version, didn't work with that either.
This is a model where the bootloader can't be unlocked no matter what, so I can't flash the previous 6.1.1.B.1.10 firmware, I'm stuck with this. Apart from bin4ry's method, is there a way to root without unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks!

Hello guys,
i have searched a lot but couldn't find any useful guide on how to root xperia z2 6.0.1.
is it possible to root it ?? and if not, to what version should i downgrade and how to it + how to root the downgraded version and what are the softwares needed ??
my phone info:
model D6503
android 6.0.1
kernel 3.4.0-perf-gc14c2d5
build number 23.5.A.1..291
I really need to root it please help, thank you.
there is heaps of different methods out there, one just maybe needs to look harder,
one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/tool-rooting-23-5-1-291-supersu-t3437280
not a bad method that is relative easy,
really depends on what you want, custom rom, stock ,
if a custom rom, then i would recommend flashing a 5.1.1 stock rom and king rooting it then flash a good recovery and and a custom rom of your choosing
If you want to install custom rom:
1. Unlock your bootloader ( as required by most roms out there )
2. Flash TWRP using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery %filename%.img
In recovery,
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash SuperSU.zip
5. Done
If you just want root:
One-click root tools is your friends!

Unlock your bootloader and try the SuperSU zip injection method. It is the last method I could think of at this moment.

Dont use EMMA, use flashtool by androxyde instead! It should be far better than EMMA.
