Hi All
Just recently bought a walkman z and rooted it with a tablet s root tool, i know that both devices kinda use the same stock rom and maybe the BL was wondering if its possible to use other tablet s tools/rom/recovery with the walkman z
^^ I Know It Sounds Like A Stupid Question But I Havnt Been Able To Find Anything In Terms Of Custom Roms Other Than The Root Tool That Originated From The Tablet S.
Any Ideas/Help With This Would Me Much Appreciated (Due To Being A Flashaholic On My X10 )

Apparently bootloader is not cracked so you can't do anything to your Sony s besides root it

If you read the OP's post, he doesn't have a Sony Tablet S. He has a Walkman Z. Different device.
adammann93 since this is a Tablet S forum, we might need a little more info. As cslingerland said, do you know if your bootloader is unlocked at all? Some of the XPERIA devices can be unlocked either through custom methods or unlock tools. If your bootloader is locked (like the Tablet S is) there is not a lot more you can do in terms of development. You can perform all the usual root-requiring functions, but thats about it.

Hello there,
I just bought xperia s yesterday
I used arc, but since yesterday I fell in love with xperia s.
Emm.. what I wanna ask is, is it worth to unlock my xperia s and root it?
Cause I know development on xperia s forum isnt so stable yet..
I'm scared I'm going to brick my Xperia S..
And then Im at Indonesia.
Which ftf shud I flash?
Generic world?

I think you can flash central europe as you can remove more apps without root.
I am not sure if it has the asian language. I am currently using Singapore firmware which contains chinese and japanese keyboard.
In my opinion, if you are not planning to use custom ROM, you might as well wait till ICS released for rooting purpose. At that time, there should be a way to root without unlocking bootloader

I'm using German as my primary language
So I think the central europe will work..
Well.. actually I'm planning to use a costum ROM..
But its just a plan.. I haven't see all of the costume ROMs here..
But I think I'll wait till someone made root without unlocking bootloader possible.
Thanks for your answer

Nothing bad cause it is allowed from sony itself
They speak that you will loose the drm key or something like that but I don't know what is useful for.
Don't worry,For warranty reasons you can lock it again.

you can lock your bootloader again,
but u wont get the DRM key again..
as far as i know (if im not mistaken) DRM key is useful for warranty,
if u unlocked ur XS, then you void your warranty..
anyway, ive unlocked my phone and rooted..
so this thread can be locked
thanks xda

Untill now,
root can only be achieved by flashing pre rooted.img via fastboot..
If u want to know wether ur phone is already unlocked or not, try unlocking ur phone via fastboot like what u did.
On the cmd will be written,
'"Phone already unlocked"

I have an Xperia S with ICS installed
I was wondering if flashing the 4.0.3 kernel from the Lt18 (pretty sure that firmware has rooting abilities)
onto the Xperia S
then Root
then Flash the Xperia S kernel back could possibly work?
I was going to give it a try earlier today but thought it would be best to ask if they're is any risk of perma-bricking the phone and unable to reflash before I did
Are you for real??

You cant, on locked bootloader.
You can flash an Lt18 kernel on a Lt15 with flashtools maybe it might work
I'll give it a try
I'm sure I can flash back if it doesn't
well I hope so
Hi, try putting the phone in a jar of soil. After a few years it might get rooted without having to use the search function.
Cheers.

If you can't understand what's written on here, have a look on youtube and you'll find some video guides to follow. It should make things easier for you.

i have try to watch at you tube before, but i can't do oso =.=
I'm guessing that rooting isn't your best option then to be honest. But if you are determined to root your device, then your best option is to wait until you are better able to understand what the guides say.
That's the best I can for you, unfortunately.

Hi guys, my Xperia P has locked the BT. And it can't be unlock because of Sony. I really want to try 4.2 or 4.3 before I die.
Which ROM can I install?
Link?
Thanks in advance, I hope it's possible.

Unfortunately,you can't try the Android v4.2.2 or 4.3 with bootloader,you must unlock it.
Except Sony release official Android v4.2.2 or 4.3,but that's not possible.
So,go to buy a new Xperia L...
