Hi All (experienced developers),
Currently I am using Xperia NEO(MT15i) with unlocked bootloader.
I want to root my phone without falling into any issues like 0% battery. Once I had already experienced the 0% battery issue with another phone of my same model. (while flashing different ROMs for rooting purpose)
This time I want to use very safe method, these are my phone details:
Android version: 2.3.4
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9.9-perf ([email protected] #1)
Build Number: 4.0.2.A.0.62
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks and Regards,

Simple and quickest way is to flash rootxperia.zip in clockworkmodrecovery, works on every possible firmware, 2.2 to 4.0.3.

Hi, recently I got a X10 from my brother. Now I'm trying to find out how to move from my stock firmware to a custom mod firmware.
I've gone thru the forum, and have rooted my phone. Now what is the next step to be done. Mine is a x10a running on 2.3.3 Build 3.0.1.G.0.75 , kernel 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537

Yes, many of the ROM's require unlocked bootloader. I can't remember how to check it . If You don't want to do that just find a ROM that doesn't require an unlocked bootlader.
All files that are neded for unlocking bootlader are here.

I can tell you if it's unlocked or not.
Use this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17375673) tool to identify your phone, and post the log here.

This did not happen using my tutorial did it? anyway you could go and root and install custom roms when your done:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821750
i also encoutered that... before you proceed on any process make sure you disable your AV because some av detected the extracted file of flashtool as a virus and deleted some part of it and after flashing you will xperience some bug

I've just flash stock rom from site(http: //uploaded.net/folder/6fy4l8). And when I tried to install the update that offered me the phone, I could not. How do I solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
what is your current bootloader status. is it locked or unlocked? if you unlocked your bootloader and try to update your phone with seus of pc companion, u will end up soft bricking your device. the only option to update your phone is through flashtool
bro see you can root from here : - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FxgZ7vkRLY
Thanks guys,i success to root my sk17i and now i'm using CM10 fxp... Phone is working better than official Sony rom.
Hello There,
I have a little problem here. When I try to update via PC Companion, it tells me that I already have the latest version, but I don't think I do. Truth be told, I already messed up a lot with this phone in the past, but I calmed down, because it got so slow to the point of being unusable, Then I reset to factory, but there must be something wrong left. The info I have in the "About Phone" is:
Model Number: St 15 i
Android Version: 2.3.4
BaseBand Version:8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-56
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-perf
Build Number: 4.0.2.A.0.42
Any hints, please ?
Do a favor to yourself. Unlock your bootloader & install CM 10.1 rom by the master mikeioannina. HERE.

You can connect your device to the PC and through PC Companian make a repair and it will install the stock ROM for your device and everything will be alright.
It did not work
Thanks, but the repair procedure did not work as well, it says there is no software available for my phone, pretty much what the software update procedure did. I guess the problem is bigger, because as I mentioned before, I really messed up with the phone previously, I think there is some kind of version conflict in the device.
Cheers
Flash stock ftf file via flashtool or else tried SUS (sony update service)

Maybe you unlocked your bootloader? That would make any Sony tool useless. I guess the best way to fix it - use flashtool, as mentioned by others
What I have:
Sony Xperia XA Ultra
Model F3213
Android Version: 7.0 (Nougat)
Baseband: MOLY.LR11.W1603.MD.TC9.SP.V31.T1, 2017/05/10 18:31
Kernel: 3.18.35+
Build Number: 36.1.A.0.182
Problem/Questions
Too often, the phone is locking up completely where it will not respond to anything and I have to hold down Power and Vol UP + Down to force it to reboot. I find it odd as I've never had an unrooted phone do that to me before.
In anycase, I always try to root my android phones and I have plenty of experience doing it so don't believe you'll consider me a noob...
I was reading through [F32xx][Guide][N] How to root your Xperia XA Ultra (as noob friendly as possible) and it mentions that in order to do whatever a Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup v2 is before I root the phone. but in order to do it, I have to downgrade to Marshmallow (ver 6.0).
Ok so I couldn't find a guide on how to do that let alone finding the firmware files for my phone in my region that is my variant.
Questions:
1) Is there a US Region version of Marshmallow for model 3215 that is downloadable somewhere? If not, I found other regions of the same phone model number (3215) than the US. (i.e. Latin America)---Could I use that without any issues?
2) Is there something specific that I can do for anyone else here with my particular phone version that may benefit you or the development of this phone before I "ruin it" with a root?
3) What is a TA Backup and why would I care to save it?
Thanks,
DrkImagination
Their are guides for rooting 32xx ultra.
If your phone branded you will not be able to unlock bootloader.
I got sick of Sony flash tool I made stock root flash able zips.
I have never an rooted phone.
