Hi. I couldnt root my arc s, version 2.3.4, build 4.0.2.A.0.62
I've tried several methods, including the Batch on windows and the software "unlock root".
It's possible to root my device by any other methods or I still have to wait to something come up?
thanks!
You must downgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.42 and then you can root you phone

The new updates from SE really improved the phone and wouldn't want those bugs to come back again so that's why I wait to root.
Hoping a dev makes work of it
You can use gingerbreak. But it's easier to unlock it, you have more possibilities in phone modding, and it's relockable
you can root 2.3.3 with gingerbreak without having to flashback?
root your play with no locking bootloader
you won't have update .146 though I just did it and works flawlessly
basicly you downgrade root and ota update to 2.3.3 (.145)

Hi everybody! I've tried clicking the search button but it's not working for me
How do I root my 0.62 firmware Mini Pro, and will I still be able to get the official ICS release from Sony?
You need to downgrade to .58 firmware, root and then update via OTA so that way youll get a .62 rooted fw, and yes, you'll be able to get ICS update as long as you dont have unlocked bootloader
you are probably new here or havent noticed that, there are now way of rooting .62 yet. the solution is go back to previous or older firmware such as .42, .58 then root will work.
if your phone is rooted, yes you can still update it to ics without unrooting it but the root will probably gone after you update to ics. but no worry about that there already a thread somewhere of how to root ics xperia
Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it. I think I'll wait for ICS and then root it. No point going through all that hassle only to have it un-root.
Also, I'm very security conscious and Flashtool seems to contain a virus. I know everybody says it's a false-positive and that the exploit is just needed to get root control over the phone. I can understand that. But what's to stop the developer introducing malicious code for bragging rights or whatever?
I'm not saying they did, I'm just saying that I wouldn't know if they did...
Hi, everybody.. for about a week ago, i rooted my XPERIA arc S (4.0.3) and it went flawlessly when i used the doom's rooting toolkit...So now i have made a factory reset on my phone to update to officiall android 4.0.4-.... So MY question is the following: Will [ROOT] Rooting Toolkit for Xperia 2011 ICS [FW:.562]{LOCKED & UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS} work for 4.0.4 also?
Thanks :=)
Think it would still be rooted do you have the SU icon... just tr giving root permission for app..
Well since i have made a factory reset.. the root is no longer there.. and i also made the reset just so i could update to 4.0.4 to then later on root my New 4.0.4...
Hi is there a guide for rooting my phone ST27A i got stock GB and got the tft for ICS for the st27i
Stock GB 2.3.7
Build 6.0.B.3.191
ICS 4.0.4
Build 6.1.1.B.1.10
base band ver
u8500-49020905-P2H_EC01
Is there a way to get root on the GB?
Is there a way to preserve the band for ICS?
Thanx a lot for reading.
A small script which is able to root ICS/JB phones. It uses a remount timing issue in Androids "adb restore" service.
So normally it should work on nearly all ICS/JB devices, for some it won't but the idea may work in a slightly modded version
There is a case for Xperia Go and Xperia T,S,P etc. phones, this phones run ICS but don't have android's native restore with adb, Sony has added a own custom "Backup&Restore" app, the script handles this cases too, just choose the correct option!
How-To:
1.) Download attached file.
2.) Extract it using 7zip
3.) Double click the RunMe.bat and follow instructions!
Xperia phones = Normal mode
Sony Tablet and similar = Special mode

hi, i know this will not help with your question, but i got a question for you and hope you really can help me x3, i have the xperia go (st27A) and updated to ics for the st27i (note the i), the only diference is between the 3g freq (or at least thats what i've heard), i want to go back to GB but for the st27A, by any chance are you willing to share your stock GB firmware with me pls? if so please send me a link to download it or anything, thank you
I'm catching an error when trying to root my Xperia go. I've followed all the steps in the above tutorial and even when trying to root through cmd, after I select '1' for normal device I get an error saying 'unable to restore intent etc, etc. Any thoughts on what's causing this prob?
I have a Sony Xperia M2 on Vodafone UK which I want to root.
I've looked around and many people are saying use TowelRoot, downgrade to JB, find the right TFT etc. and I'm getting really confused, especially since my bootloader is unlocked.
The method which seems to work with people is to flash JB and then use an exploit to root the phone. Since the I cant unlock the BL, I dont know how to flash JB onto this phone.
Also if i root this phone, am i still able install CyanogenMod or use root apps such as Xposed Framework?
How can I downgrade the phone and root it?
Thanks In advance!

I did it
I just did it with KingRoot, without experiencing any problem, and no downgrade was necessary. The device was not listed as compatible, but it finally did it !
I hope this will help.
