Rooting live WT19i 4.0.2.A.0.62 above without unlock bootloader for Noob
if anyone know how root please post i have xperia mini st15i 62 FW
thanks ahead
if you want to try it,first thing you need to have flashtool.
You can download Flashtool from this thread
You need original file from SEUS in order to flash the original kernel (FW.62) back to you phone.
Kernel only Flashtool files :
- Xperia Arc LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Neo MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Mini Pro SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Mini ST15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Active ST17i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Live With Walkman WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
You will need loader.sin to create bundle for flashing original .62 kernel
i will working on a guide later :-D
downgrate to 42 Fw with wotanserver.com its best way
updated 1st post with completed guide. :-D
Please, also include sk17a for us south americans

To get ROOT working on .62 FW,we need to flash older kernel in order zergrush exploit to work on the ROM.
You need Flashtool found in this thread
download following flash file according to your device.
- Xperia Arc LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Neo MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf

put downloaded file to flashtool\firmware folder
flash your device using flashtool using downloaded file.
after that try to root your device with zergrush method
this can be achive using flashtool as well
after your phone was ROOTED,you need to flash .62 back to your device.
you need firmware from SEUS can be found on
SEUS\DB\13740270\blob_fs
copy any file named FILE_?????????
there should be 3 files like that,if you found serveral files like that copy the newest files
put it on one folder
download loader.sin and put it on that folder
create new bundle :
1. open flashtool
2. advanced -> decrypt files
3. point the folder contain SEUS FW + loader.sin
4. after file decrypted it will show bundle creation
5. just select kernel.sin and loader.sin
6. fill device , version and branding
7. flash your device with the newly created file
to test if your have correctly flash .62 kernel,try to run zergrush exploit on your device

dont understand. it's need to unlocked bootloader?
root 62
I used Flashtool-0.6.6 and in it the "Flash FastBoot Mode"> "Select a HotBoot kernel" in which kernel to boot on your PC (I used it from FXP 103). after the start I went into recovery and flash file RootXperia.zip + Recovery-Addon.zip. then restart and mini default kernel + root + recovery
for files and Recovery RootXperia.zip-dik Addon.zip belongs to people from XDA.
I'm sorry for the google translator English better

if zergrush exploit working on erlier kernel,it should give us a way to gain root access.
We don't need to unlock bootloader in order to flash kernel files that originally come from SEUS.
What do you actually mean with 'you need firmware from SEUS'?
I have been trying to figure out what SEUS is and where I can download it.
after your phone was ROOTED,you need to flash .62 back to your device.
you need firmware from SEUS can be found on
SEUS\DB\13740270\blob_fs
how to get? where is the link? can u upload video tutorial?

Hello, I have flashed my phone back to the .58 kernel, but I still can't root. In the service menu it now says:
Phone software version: 1244-7088_4.0.2.A.0.58, generic - user
but file system version says: world-i_4.0.2.A.0.62
In the "about phone" menu, it also says build .62.
The deletable pre-installed apps such as Wise Pilot and UEFA came back and PCC tells me that is new firmware available again (.62)
What am I doing wrong?

Same thing here. I don't even have a update service folder. Mine says update engine. Still can't find SEUS\DB\13740270\blob_fs.
And you say SEUS is Sony Ericsson Update Service, is that the same as Sony Ericsson PC Companion?
im not sure about this step:
6. fill device , version and branding
is there some way i can copy the exact same values from my current rom? im not sure what to enter here. i use a .62 claro operator sk17a
just tried this on my sk17a and i couldnt flash the kernel - nothing happens, and it says that i do not have debug on - which is not true..
which flash mode am i supposed to use? i used 'flashmode', not the 'fast boot one' - should i use it?
maybe i need a different kernel to do it? anyone was able to
It's look like zergrush exploit patch was stored at /system partition,so if we just flash older kernel will not revert the zergrush exploit patch.if we want to use. 62 firmware we need .62 update.zip ROM that contain su binary stored on /system partition.

Here is the tutorial for Installing stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM plus root and CWM. I am not responsible or anyone mentioned below for bricking your phone in case, tested on my Xperia ray with unlocked bootloader using S1 tool.
Requirements
Unlocked Bootloader (preferred) although there is a work around for locked bootloader
4.0.2.A.0.62 FTF files
Flashtool
recoveryRay.img by and Rootxperia.zip b1n4ry (for rooting)
CWM
Installation:
How to Install stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM:
Download this stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM. Thank you Aire for providing the link.
After download you will have a zip file. Extract it.
Download flashtool here and extract it.
Create FTF file using flashtool from the 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM zip you extracted earlier. Now if you don't know how to create FTF files, there's a good tutorial here.
If you successfully created FTF file, you should see a file with extension “.ftf” in the “firmwares” folder inside “FlashTool” folder
Run the executable “X10FlashTool.exe” located in the FlashTool folder
Now click “Flash” button and select flashboot. Now select the firmware from the popup menu. Make sure “Wipe user data” box is checked and then click “OK”.
The application will ask you to put your Ray in flashboot mode, to do this turn off the phone, hold the volume down button while while connecting the USB cable to your computer.
Follow the on screen instruction and your device will reboot. Notice that the reboot process will take longer at first.
How to install Root
Please note that this is only applied to devices with unlocked bootloader. Alternately, you can just install a custom kernel and root using zergrush method but if you want to try the .62 kernel from this stock rom then do this.
Download rootxperia.zip here and place it in your sd card
Enter device in fastboot mode. Turn off phone, hold volume up while you connect the USB cable to computer
Download the recoverRAY.img provided below, you will get a zip file, extract it.
Open folder inside Flashtool where fastboot.exe exists (/FlashTool/x10flasher_lib)
Place the recoveryRAy.img inside the folder
Open command line in this folder
Test if it recognize your device, to do this type fastboot devices, if there is a result here proceed.
Now here's the tricky part, to enter a temporary recovery type fastboot boot recoveryRAY.img
*Notice that we didn't use fastboot flash boot ****.img here because as bin4ry said this recovery is designed to work just as recovery, if you flash it to your device it will NOT boot system anymore! This is just a temporary recovery for you so be careful not to flash it.
Now wait and your phone will reboot, you will see the FREE XPERIA splash screen and your device will now enter temp CWM recovery
On your phone choose install custom zip, locate the rootxperia.zip you added earlier in your SD card and flash it.
Reboot, your device is now rooted.
*to root your device with locked bootloader, they say you can install previous stock kernel and root using zergrush method.
How to install CWM
Download this then extract
Make sure you enabled USB debugging, and also you need to set Screen timeout to 10 minutes so you don't miss the superuser promt
Run install-cwm1.cmd from the folder
Follow screen on screen instruction, reboot.

Aire said, his current kernel supports .62 but they are currently working for repack based on this new firmware.
I haven't tried installing any custom firmware at the moment, I want to test this stock firmware for changes and improvement especially the baseband and battery consumption.

Hm ok, btw, can you post the original link for rootxperia.zip?
EDIT: sorry you already did that thanks!
UPDATE: I'm trying to do SEUS update now though. Hope this thing won't brick..
UPDATE 2: SEUS update won't brick our phone if it uses the Testpoint method O what a happy day it is.. Let's see if i can flash aire kernel back.
is that a global version or what ? some people said, that version has some bugs..
can we root this version with the new DoomLord v4 Root ?
from the Arc forum, i found that they can root their device with .62 firmware just by using flashtool.. can we do that so ?
thx

The firmware is provided by Aire, however if you encounter ftf generic firmware, it will be nice if you post it here.
As to bugs, I'm using this firmware for a day now and I noticed improvement in battery and speed, no bugs so far. I haven't tried the doomlord v4 root, but rooting via recovery is easy.

If your bootloader is still locked you can not root your device using that method. The only work around is to install previous kernel and root using zergrush method.

Indeed .62 is the latest built which include alot of improvements specially on batter issue.
If you don't want custom rom and kernel and is contented with the stock ROM and kernel then you don't need to unlock your bootloader.
to root your device, you need to flash stock 4.0.2.A.0.42 kernel only, you can do this with locked bootloader and root using zergrush method.

Hi, I need for my bricked X10i a kernel including xrecovery which I can flash per flashtool as .ftf bundle cause of my phone hangs on SE Logo and nothing else. After I used SE update service my phone has no more firmware and is relocked bootloader and unrooted. flashing firmware via flashtool as ftf bundle failed after 15 % everytime.
So please can anybody help me...
Hi,
its not possible to have xrecovery in ftf itself. Ftf is the whole partition image - so it might be included i.e. with system image, not standalone. I dont think so it exists...
If you cant flash firmware,try installing xrecovery when SE logo appears, if OS loads basically it should be possible.
However dont know how it could help you in future.

***deleted cause unuseful*** read the other thread too late ...
how i can root the new firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54 for the xperia u ??
First, you need to flash the B.1.10 kernel available here and then, root it using Bin4ry's Tool After that, flash back B.1.54 kernel and you are done
and how i do it? can you write an instruction
i know, my english is bad ^^
Do you know how to use Flashtool ? What you need to do is either get the kernel file or the entire Stock FTF from here, then flash it with Flashtool
After selecting Flashtool, deselect all the options on top right relating to Wipe and select all options on bottom right pertaining to Exclude, except for Exclude Kernel (we dont tick Exclude Kernel). Then click Flash and connect your device and you succesfully flashed just the kernel of that FTF
Step-by-step please!
i dont get it
please can you make a step by step instruction for me please
i know my english is bad ^^
Take a look at this video It shows how to flash an ftf with Flashtool

Hey bro,
Sorry for late reply When you flash stock ftf, you'll lose root What you need to do is flash back just the Kernel of B.10 [In Flashtool deselect all the Wipe Commands and select all the Exclude Commands except the Kernel) and then you can root with Bin4ry tool or Flashtool. Then after that, flash back the kernel of B.54 or whichever firmware you wanted by the same way I just described
Hope it helps
Cheers

I can restore RootMe but after rebbot command line just says that it doesn't have permission to mount.

RootMe doesn't even exist. Used both special- xperia mode and normal new. Nothing, no popup no backup but phone reboots.
Any help ?
IMHO easiest method for rooting is flashing prerooted kernel.
1. download fastboot
2. find some prerooted kernel in sola development thread and put it into fastboot folder
3. flash kernel
phone should be rooted, many prerooted kernels come with cwm recovery so you don't need to install it separately
Hi guys,
As said by lwd8cmd, flash a kernel custom, they are pre rooted (need bootloader unlocked).
It takes 10 seconds to download and flash.
But if your bootloader is locked you need to :
-flash .10 stck kernel
-root
-reflash .54 stock kernel
When your bootloader is unlocked, the life is more simple

Please do like anybody, follow the tuto on xda.
You need to know that you can't APPLY the root script when you run .54 kernel, so:
-flash .10 stck kernel with flashtool
-reboot and root
-flash .54 stock kernel with flashtool and the root stay

my xperia Z2 D6503, has build number 17.1.A.2.69, unlocked bootloader, and rooted
im planning to update it to .314, how can i do this? is it ok to update (.314) at sony pc companion? i know my root will be lost, so i should re-root again, no problem for me. but updating in pc companion with my rooted .69, should there be no problems at all?
i have a backed up rom (.69) with nut dual recovery, if any problems can i boot again in recovery? im thinking because root will be lost, recovery should also be lost.
or
can i flash new roms here like aroma? or any modded roms, i believe this roms are from build .314, from stock .69?
i read about flashing this customs rom, but other requires that the base roms should be .314
im so sorry if i have lots of questions, and im reading all the facts here in forum about Z2, im just careful enough not to mess up my Z2. i had xperia Z before and done lots of flashing new roms and root, but just to be careful with my Z2..
thanks in advance for any kind of info/replies.

the easiest way to do this is to use flashtool and a FTF
just simply exclude Data
i dont think you can flash across stock based rom versions without data wipe, it hasnt worked any time i tried, i used flashtool instead
- do i need to explain how to do this?

a million thanks
thank you very much.. this is a big info on me..
If you are rooted & bootloader unlocked then OTA update & PC companion updates will fail with modified software error message.
Like Envious_Data said you would need to use FlashTool & untick data in the wipe options to keep your data, you will lose root & the dual recoveries but you can easily use EasyRoot to root again then use the installer version of [NUT] dual recoveries.
I had some issues with SuperUser with data wipe unticked so ended up doing full wipe in FlashTool.
Good luck
use flashtool is very fast...
cant see the firmware on flashtool
i had downloaded the stock rom .314 RU, from the given list of Stock Roms on that page, the file is in Zip, when i moved the zip file on flashtool/firmware i cant see the ftf file. all i see is Device: X10, Version: V1, Branding: BLRelock
am i doing wrong?
If the FTF file is in a zip or rar archive file then you will need to extract it first, open the zip file & if there is one file in it with FTF extension then drag it from the zip to the firmwares folder in flashtool.
eg if you have installed flashtool to program files directory in windows open the zip file then browse to the flashtool\firmwares folder & then drag the zip file to the firmwares folder, it should then appear in flashtool when you click the flash button, just make sure you select the firmware FTF file & NOT the X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf file.
Thanks for the Help Guys
Thank you very much
Im now updated to .314 and searching for an update to .402
the one i downloaded zip file has no ftf extension, i think its a stock rom in rar file and is installable in recovery mode, so i search and find a file w/c is in unbranded-Australia with ftf extension
im now rooted in .314 and searches for a good ROM for my Z2
Again. Thanks for the help Guys... You're all the best. :good: :good:
