Is it possible to Root Xperia Ray (like x8 with one click) or not ? and if not Plz provide a link to Xperia ray root guide ONLY....
I wouldn't want to unlock my bootloader if possible, as it's too complicated I think..
Should I upgrade to ICS before rooting or not ?
One More question : Does Ray Support moving applications to SD card ? or do I need to install Link2SD and partition my SD Card ?
Thanks waiting for answers...
edit : forgot to set checkbox "This is a question"
What firmware do you have?

stock rom means official rom which is preinstalled from the company and custom rom means modified rom

Superuser application appears on the screen but when i execute
it then there is no application appeared. It says << no application in list >>.

There are only the applications, which you have permanently given or denied root access.

Thanks a lot Someguyfromhell, i know that some of my questions are a little bit stupid for you
but im new on these, and im trying to get it because of my brand new xperia ray.
And i have 1 more question, in your tutorial is written that after the rooting progress with the zergRush method, the BusyBox will be installed, but
it is not installed the BusyBox app, do i have to install it by myself from Playstore or i dont need this app at all? Also the superuser app is installed
in my phone.

BusyBox is not an application, so you do not see it in app drawer. You don't need to do anything more, unless you want to update Busybox, but this isn't really needed either.
did anyone figure out the 2.89. Super user issue ? besides flashing the zip is there a way to have it in the rom and still maintain root?
i noticed if i push the 3.2 su binary to the phone while its on then give it 06755 permissions it will show thats its working and allow the Superuser to be granted?
has anyone tried to fix this yet??
i been working on it for hours and still no luck..
also i cant get any keyboard to install with a rom is that on my end?

He is developing a rom.. I would say that means he is in the right place..

Although he may be developing a new rom, it still belongs in Q&A. Development sections are strictly for development and not questions.

I just grabbed the latest Su from the website and tossed it in with the correct permissions, and seems to be working... I've been workin on a little something too... I had more trouble getting it to boot than anything... But the Su 3.1.3 and binaries is what I used... Now trying to get it deodexed so I can get a few things added in and get a Rom posted... Over the last couple days, I've gained some mad respect for the 3d devs around here... The last Rom I built was a froyo hybrid sense 2/ sense 3 rom for the glacier, and it was nowhere near this frustrating... Even when trying to create it from ota like this one...

I got it booting, just had to use the modules and the boot.IMG from the vm ics Rom... As for the data/app, did you add the functionality to the Rom so it knows to look in that folder for apps?

First flash the ROM 2.3.7
Then close your bootloader
Then you flash ICS ROM
Your problem will be solved
For temporary relief of the disaster, along with the power button, hold down the volume a few seconds to reboot the phone vibrates and makes
Bin4ry rooting method works flawlessly!
Although I think it would be nice to mention that this code is not made by you, but other guy in this forum.
And link to the original thread would be good too. Just saying..

I believe that your intentions are good but getting credit for someone else work is just wrong.:silly:
You should probably request Bin4ry's permission before creating this thread...
Strange, I tried the v13 of bin4ry and my screen goes black! Everything wasn't rendered correctly and I had to do a factory reset to correct everything again.

Check the OP for "That ROM" for root info.
How did you install ICSROM and what ROM were you running previously?
FYI, you have enough posts to join us in the dev section on the ICSROM thread.
A warm hello this wonderful community.
Ever since I switched to android i have almost always trusted this forum for help and most of the time found what i was looking for.
This is my first post here.
I recently bought new LAVA Iris X8.
The phone works splendid and I love it. But I really wish to add more fun to it and install a custom ROM that can make the overall ui super smooth and also improve battery life.
Searched everywhere but could not find any custom rom or recovery for this device.
Please can someone provide me a custom rom.
I am only looking for a smooth ui and improved battery life.
please help....
bump
No one interested to help????
Well.... I am on my way to do this myself... At least I think so right now...
Got info from here and some other websites...
I have built cwm recovery for lava x8 and installed successfully
Also installed PureperformanceX stock 1.4
Will soon post details and cwm recovery soon...
Hope it will be helpful to others....

I have rooted my Lava X8 wit h kingoroot
and
Installed CWM recovery using MTK Droid Tools...

Hi..
At least someone responded...
Well... You will need your stock recovery.img from your device... Get it using sp flash tools..
Then with mtk droid tools you can make cwm recovery for your phone...
I followed the tutorial on AndroidHow website with article titled "How to Make/Flash CWM Recovery Without Rooting". Just Google it.. You will find it...
Follow all steps and it works...

Yes CWM recovery works fine.. No problem until now...
But PurePerformancesX 1.4 didn't work good.. Instead I felt like phone was overheating...
Then removed it and tried latest FlyOnMod
This works wonderful....

how to flash stock ROM on iris x8
I already tried everything. I have a stock ROM of iris x8 which I downloaded from need ROM but SPFT can't flash that stock ROM. Every time I switch off and connect my phone to the computer SPFT won't recognize it . also I was unable to create a stock ROM because of this. I have already rooted my phone but there is a problem with it. Every time I switch it off and turn it on , the root somehow disappears. I don't know what happened. Also my in app purchases won't work. I got frustrated and tried freedom but it won't work either nor lucky patcher will work. ( I checked that in app purchases are not disabled but still they don't work) . I also tried booting in recovery mode and even installed appps from play store to do so but I was unable to boot in recovery mode . I have already tried everything I could and really frustrated. Please provide me the exact steps you can go through to flash a stock ROM for iris x8 . also I would like to if it is possible to install CMW or TWRP in iris x8 .( if yes I would love to know the steps.) please help me.
Regarding the root disappear problem..
That happens because of the "/sysyem/recover-from-boot.p" file..
Just root once.. Use ES explorer to go to system directory and rename that file...
Root with kingroot or iroot...
Pls search before complaining... These problems already have solutions posted here...

I can't flash any ROM , not even CMW recovery because SPFT won't recognize my phone after I connect it in switched off state. Do you have any solution to that...????
Please provide a way to do that. I want to flash the stock ROM after the problem is solved....

In my case the solution which you provide doesn't work at all.
For 1st 2 weeks my root would not disappear even switching on / off but suddenly it started. Then root started to reset within hours.. Also the SUPERSU App was not functioning ( error : su binary not working on device above 4.3.3) :banghead:
I got scared and did a factory reset which solved the problem of root being reset every now and then ( it still resets after I switch it off /on .
But factory resetting brought a whole bag of other problems like in-app-purchase not working and also other apps which require root can't gain it because I can't install SUPERSU anymore ( error: failed to install su binary please restart your device and try again but it won't work even after restart.) ..
So I am stuck with default kingouser app which is not supported by many other applications ....
Can I be facing this problem because of factory resetting my phone without properly unrooting it..:what:
Sorry for asking all of the questions above..
Today I was able to flash the stock ROM after updating the drivers
Also KINGOROOT was unable to root my phone so I found another solution.
There is a rooting app called KINGROOT ( kingroot.net ) . This app has both android app and a PC app. I was able to root my phone easily with their android app.
More interestingly its PC app directly installs CWM recovery. (PC app is only in Chinese :banghead: but the android app is in English.).
You can also search the KINGROOT in xda threads.
Thanks for the support and answering my annoying questions .
Glad to hear that your problem is solved..
I too rooted with the kingroot app from pc( and thats what i suggested above) but it didnt install cwm ..
This is a place where you learn new things..
And the learned ones share thier knowledge..
So feel free to ask questions.. :thumbup:
