Olá,
I'm having a problem rooting the X10i, since it was upgraded to Gingerbread. I had installed the latest version of SuperOneClick, and I'm doing just as it says The Unlockr step-by-step on Youtube. Had also sellected the exploit option "Gingerbreak". Still, when it gets to step 6, the program stucks.
Hope somebody can give me a hand on this issue, using the SuperOneClick or indicating another program.
Thank you very much!
you can try to use flashtool for X10, hope can help you!
I'll try it.
Thanks for your help! =)

if you just upgraded your phone from 2.1 to stock sony 2.3 GB upgrade then it cannot be rooted even with flash tool or super 1 click.
What you can do is to actually down grade your phone to 2.1 first.
Download flash tool and also download the firmware 2.1 version.
from the below link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Once u download the firmware, place that .ftf file in the firmware folder of your flash tool.
Now flash the phone to 2.1, use the below link if you dont know how to flash it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Now once ur phone is 2.1, just root it and install xrecovery.
now you can install any of the 2.3 ROM available in the development section and all these ROMs are pre rooted and recovery installed.
PM me if u need any help.
THKS!
Thank you very much, runaway_bunny!
Right now, I'm having no time, but as soon as possible, I'll try it and let you know if it worked.
See you soon, and thanks again!

Have the same problem...my phone was rooted on '42, nut now on 62....GRRRRRR...I want to get off from non-stop background process and boring app's from phone..S keep on looking fore doomslord easy root tool
If you are on rooted firmware .42 or .58 flash the zipfile in my signature over you rooted firmware what you now have only .42 or .58 and you have not do a clean install or wipe things just flash the zipfile and peeps you dont need unl bl to do this.
Cheers
I guess you have locked bootloader. You can try with RootXperia.zip method with CWM recovery for locked bootloaders.
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20671610&postcount=14
I also updated to .62 fw but didn't tried this method, as I haven't got time.
Hmm, you can also try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446308
Although you will need to flash old .42 or .58 version with flash tool.
Not sure how this one is preroot-ed but I guess same as above with RootXperia.zip, I mean with same files.
EDIT: Yeah,just realized that my first suggestion wont work, because you need root access to install cwm

2 ways:
1) Flash using Wotanserver, search about it on this forum
2) Flash using flashtool with .42 .tft file firmware.

You can try this ...... (I can't post the links because I'm new here. Who want to know please give me a PM and I'll show the links) . I follow first one and it worked for me. I have a Neo with .62 fw unlocked but the solution is good for locked phones too. Is a very easy tutorial and quick to apply it.
I ask moderators to not warm me again to move my post on other tread (like before). I try to find on this forum 2 days a solution to root my neo but I found only few ways complicated and not good for me. I couldn't post any question on some treads where peoples discuss about this because I'm new here and is a stupid rule what is forbidden this. If I'm new is not mean that I'm stupid too.
Thanks.

So if you found some new method, which isn't already explained in (at least) 2 threads, tell us.
For locked BL you have this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866
For unlocked BL: simply get kernel which have recovery, and flash rootxperia.zip

100% Working.
I flashed to 4.0.1.A.0.283 Generic Global rom but now I want to revert to stock rom and I want root with easy way. What can I do?
Why using that old fw??
Flash .42 fw, and root it with DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit.
Everything is in STICKY thread in development section.
Which is why I suggest you, first read sticky threads and other ones, then ask questions.

Because My phone was .062 I unlocked bootloader, installed this rom but my phone bricked when I tried to root. Now I unbricked and still have this rom. Can I update to .42 fw?
I tried to relock bootloader with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335
Flashtool said flashing done and my phone worked. I checked but it says still unlock.

For Neo V
01.Flash to 0.42 fw using flashtool
02.Root and install CWM
03.Download this & install it with cwm,just install.No need to wipe anything
(If your boot loader is unlocked use this instead )
And you have rooted,cwm installed 0.62 fw
For Neo
01.Flash to 0.42 fw using flashtool
02.Root and install CWM
I cannot find a proper link like the Neo v one for Neo,I guess you have to unlock boot loader to root Neo in 0.62 fw.There is nothing much upgraded anyway in 0.62 comparing to 0.42.So no harm in staying 0.42.And next time please mention what phone do you own(Neo or Neo V ) please.
Anyway if u did little research before asking this I'm pretty sure you would've found the answer already in Neo V android development section mate.
My phone have unlock bootloader. that's why I can't flash an another fw. Because it can be brick.

Not true - where did you get that notion from?
I did understand if you did ota or flash, your phone could be brick. So Can I flash .42 fw now?

OTA can brick your phone, but flash shouldn't. Why I say shouldn't? Because if you follow instructions everything will be ok. Follow link I gave you, and flash .42 fw with flahtool.

Hi Xsi18, you have opened 2 threads but you should search a bit before, and post in an existing thread, if necessary. If everyone open a new thread for each own question we are not helping others with same problems. Please have a read to the forum rules, it will help you to get the best of XDA. Best regards,
I reading but too long and I dont understand anything cause of my english. Delete this thread and the other one.

I have done my homework but i can't root st15a. I can't downgrade from .68 to .42 using wotanserver because is paid now. Using flashing tool I cant find (and I've tried a lot) .42.ftf Latin America. Since I'm from Brazil and I should use this firmware, what happens if I use .42.ftf CE? It will only chance the language to English?
Thanks
why not just get a custom rom which is pre-rooted!!! or search tha forum maybe yhu can get ftf file for rootable firmware versions.
generic ftfs would work i guess, since i haven't tried i cant be sure of that.
and since you are going to root i suggest the DooMlLoRDs method. say thanks to him if you used it

Can somebody explain to me what i need to do?
Is there a way to make a complete backup of my device without having root? before I try rooting?

I also had some problems with unlocking the bootloader (on windows 7 64bit) at first, but after i turned of my antivirus everything worked just fine.
Even I have windows 7 64bit and I don't think there's any issue whatsoever!
I unlocked my bootloader only a few days back!

Please dnt mind my questions m very new here, the link to ur 1st question refers to a page of sony where its says:
"How To Root 4.0.3
Just follow the instructions here Root
now this link goes to a thread, that says do it with doom lord: which is a pain !
should i go for the flashtool process instead, but that mentions the FW 4.0.4, where as i have the stock 4.0.3 ?
Plz Help !
Flashtool can't root ics fw's.
And if doomlord's toolkit is hard for you, then don't mess with your phone at all
How can it be hard, you set 2,3options and connect phone to pc, toolkit does all the job..

For start chill your horses.
I have eyes and I can read, so no need to copy/paste what has been written in this thread.
Second, I know why doomlord's root toolkit failed for OP. doomlords toolkit CAN root .562(also known as 4..0.3) but CAN'T root .431(4.0.4) fw, which is what flashing .562 kernel is needed in order to root.
I know the procedure, I wrote the tutorial(which I linked in post#4), after which guys from talk.sonymobile wrote it on their forum, just FYI.

If you are on 4.0.3, doomlord CAN root your phone, if it can't, you are doing something wrong, in which case, we need to see log of that root process.
Flashtool is only used to flash 4.0.3 kernel, but that's for people on 4.0.4.

He failed with doomlord root toolkit because he had 4.0.4! He needed to flash kernel from 4.0.3, then use toolkit then flash back kernel from 4.0.4

if doomlord's root toolkit FOR ICS, failed for you, provide log of that process.
Now I tell you another thing, which you would know if you read all post in this thread, specially link I gave above, you have unlocked your bootloader, ffs, you can root without any mess with root toolkits, simply flash/hotboot kernel with CWM and flash superuser zip. And enjoy your phone.
Tutorial on talk.sonymobile doesn't have part for unlocked bootloaders, that's why I linked my tutorial which have both parts.
He failed with doomlord root toolkit because he had 4.0.4! He needed to flash kernel from 4.0.3, then use toolkit then flash back kernel from 4.0.4
if doomlord's root toolkit FOR ICS, failed for you, provide log of that process.
U are rite 4.0.3 is workable in doomslord but only on this doomslord toolkit for xperia "DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su"
it has pushed the SU properly nd installed it ! later i have downloaded CWM 5, so i 1st took Astro File Manager from the Market, for exploring the SD then installed the CWM 5, so when i did the SU asked to get the permission nd then all the options in CWM are ticked well and Su got CWM in its list, so all good and rooted, now please refer me the app that can solve the brightness issue in Neo V :good:
Thanx & Regards
now that i have rooted & all ! how will i go to fw .431 means 4.0.4 ? and if i flash 4.04 will my phone still be rooted ?
If u know a process of how to root in 4.0.4 nd can install su in it plz tell ! nd plz clarify me that CWM is necessary to have it 1st installed on the device or SU ?
Lets suppose ill clear the picture ... if i want to flash 4.0.4 with Kernal .431 my phone is open to root, but as u know the doomlords kit failed ! is there any otherway to push SU as a zip like ur mentioning that flash it with hotboot wats that how the process is going to be ?
Plz help !
