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?

I would like to have the same question as orangzeb.
I have:

Android 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf

Can you help us with rooting? I saw a complicated tutorial on the net, with some files linked in which were not available anymore..
Thanks in advance.

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

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.

Browse through Google Play Store, and install the apps of your choice. I really don't know what kind of apps you're looking for, so just install the app, and if you don't like uninstall. There are a variety of apps to chose from the tons of apps available in the Play Store.

Hi all,
I've just bought lenovo s870e a couple days ago, and I couldn't find the usb drivers and the new rom/firmware, I had enough with the stock rom, because the google play store won't work, etc... So, I need some help with it...
thanks
oh man, no one reply it... lenovo s870e is really a rare phone outside china...
Hey man. I have one as well but I asked an employee to help root it for me. I am still not sure if it's a full/true root and haven't spent enough time to check myself.
Drivers should have been loaded on the phone when you install it, at least for connection in normal mode. For fastboot and ADB, I don't have them either...
hey bro,
well i got the newer rom already, can root it using romasterv.3.1.0 but still, lenovo didn't update the rom seriously... the newest rom 2013-03-22 still got lots of bugs, can't login to google account
thanks.

Rooted with ROMASTERLAB with the instructions given on page 1. It worked without any hassle
The speaker volume of this phone is very feeble (too low), though in headphone mode it is very good.
Installed Volume+ app, but no help. It seems the phone is having manufacturing defect or it is built this way.
What is your experience regarding sound in speaker mode?
Really? Mine has pretty strong voice n sound, I have no problem with it

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.

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:
