[Q] How to root Xperia Mango (SK17a) - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi if anyone could link me to a post of how can I root my xperia mango?
Do I need specific files? I only want access to delete preinstalled apps, I dont want to flash and all that stuff. I used to flash my old SE phones with jdflahser but this is my first android device.
Any help or advice is really appreciated.
thank you!

here, use Flashtool.
donwload the latest version and click the 'lock' icon to start rooting

hi ok so I downloaded it, installed the drivers, and then only the flash icon is enabled. My phone is unlocked since thats how I bought it from amazon. How do I enable the root option?

[Q] Create ROM Backup for x10a mini pro

Hi guys
I just purchased an x10a mini pro (Telstra branded version). I wanted to install a custom ROM on it, but can't find any instructions on what steps to follow. I'd like to install the most stable CM7 build if possible.
Also can anyone refer me to the steps on installing a custom rom (ideally gingerbread build). Again I can't seem to find any instructions on this forum on how to create a ROM backup.
Im a bit of a tech noob, so apologies if it seems noobish. I also tried a thread search but couldnt find any satisfactory instructions

[Q] Neo V Questions

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.

Requirements:
1. Java SDK installed in PC/Laptop
2. Android-sdk-windows installed in PC/Laptop
3.Root_with restore_by Bin4ry_v28 (this version I used, you can see the latest in forum)
I managed to root generic tablet with above. For step by step procedures, I think you could see in forum. But do with your own risk!I used the method without any official stock ROM, but it works anyway. No soft 'brick'.
Help !!

Try going to this website tablet express .com (New member so i cant post links). and download the PC Tools oh also you can download the original image file there. The PC tool.rar comes with ther RK Batch Tool(you can use that to flash firmware) and the Aprropiate Usb Drivers. Dont know if your model is there but im guessing you can still use the RK Batch Tool

Download flashtool (second post in the x10 mini pro development section)
Install it
Install the drivers in the drivers subfolder if you don't have Sony Update Service or PC Companion
Delete x10blrelock.ftf from the firmsares subfolder. (it will brick your phone if you accidentally flash it to your phone)
Run flashtool
Press the padlock button and follow instructions.
Your phone will be rooted.
As for best ROM, opinions differ, so you have to try some out for yourself.

That was the root kit I used on my 321 tab z. Don't forget to backup DRM key before unlock bootloader.

DooMLoRD's tool is for earlier firmware releases and will not work with Android 4.2.2. Use the Vroot tool instead. Search this forum for information about the Vroot tool.

Thanks Xperia Tablet Rooted:good:
firewall of china
I purchased an xperia tablet z and I've had a lot of fun with it. It has its issues. But what's bothering me most is that because I bought it in China, it does not have access to any of the google services. So, no PLAYSTORE. And I am not a techie either. I looked into what rooting is and what flashing is. I was wondering if I could somehow root the device and install a new firmware from some other country... (or maybe its a new kernel.. I don't know what the difference is!) would I be able to run Google services ??
I have seen some devices here in china that have access to google services. So I know that it is possible. Just don't know how. HELP! And ya, I tried downloading Vroot and it took me to a Chinese website! Root"dashi".... in Chinese. And I don't think rooting is sth I can figure out in Chinese language. Can I get a link for the English version of it?
Details on device:
Sony Xperia Tablet Z SGP111
Build number: 10.3.1.C.0.136
Android version: 4.2.2
Kernel version: 3.4.0-g7eaf37a-01078-g2ebac89.

You should be able to flash a firmware from a different region.. Also make sure the firmware you flash, matches your tablet specs for example if your tablet is wifi only, then pick a European wifi only firmware.. if it's a 4g model then pick 4g European firmware.. Good Luck...
Rooted and enjoying google services!
Thank you for replying to my post. I was able to root my SGP311 android 4.2.2 with Kingo Android root software. vRoot works too.
But after that it was quite complicated. hard time installing CWM recovery. Trial and error until i was finally able to flash the japanese firmware. it took me back to and 4.1 which was great because now i finally had the tablet UI and could access small apps like it was meant to.
Thankyou all developers at xda for making it possible.
