Ok guys since i am (forgive me because of this) a toooootal noob of rooting flashing and everything that includes what you guys are doing here (developers) i am asking you for a help.I cannot figure out how to root this phone (Sony Xperia S Lt26i running ICS 4.0.4).Now i believe that i read somewhere (i dont know where i looked on many threads) that is possible just to root your phone,so you don't mess with factory rom (which is exactly i want).So if someone can post here or give me the exact thread where i can see basicly in details (step by step) how to root this phone with all unlocking bootloaders and flashing and everything.If you could do that for me (anyone) i would be so thankful!!!Thanks in advance
BTW I am new here so forgive me for all mistakes i made (if I made)
First of all, is your bootloader locked or unlocked?
Unfortunately noo i saw it right now is there anything i can do!!!???

This, is a question. Guess which section this belongs in? Q&A! That stands for Questions. And. Answers.
ok,sorry. it is possible to change room?
if its gingerbread you dont need to unlock it.. just run clockwork. I have a bell atrix with the 2.3.4 update and i didnt have to unlock but yet i flashed a rom and installed custom recovery.
If that^ isn't it, did you run the faarboot oem unlock command in faatboot yet?

The android XDA app needs a report button.... Could a mod please move this thread to the appropriate Q&A section?
The development section is for development purposes like for developers that create new roms and maintain them. The Q&A area is for question like yours.

since the XDA app is built off tapatalk, just tap on the offending post, click MORE, and report
Hi everybody, this tread is right for my phone.
I have an Atrix I-TIM branded with Android 2.2.2, no updates expected from TIM, tried this method to unlock it : http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader, but don't work.
I've root and recovery yet on and need to unlock bootloader to flash CM7 or other Roms.
Thanks for any advice here.

no. this 'tread' is not right for your phone. this 'tread' is in the wrong section. if you have a problem with your phone, do a search and find a similar problem and fix it. once you have exhausted all searches, then you can create a new thread in the Q&A section....
Ok, Iwill do, but mind that this tread isn't closed and you can move it to the right section!
New tread here

that is not true?
to install a custom recovery you need to unlock the bootloader... that is the whole point of unlocking... unless you have some weird atrix...
Guys i wanna root my Xperia S but i have some questions..
So basicly my questions:
1. Will i have problems with root when i want to update to ICS
2. If i update to ICS will root stay or do i have to re-root
3. If yes for question 2 will there be root for ICS the first day ICS will arrive?
4. My last question can someone give me a link for a good tutorial to root my xperia s..?
Thanks all
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
yes for now the only way to root is to install the custom img using the fastboot which required the unlocking once you give it imei to sony the the only option to get the ICS will be via the flashtool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527133
So my xperia interface will change a bit if i do this root?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
No change to the interface once you root.
Guys come on be a little more specific, i am new to android i dont know what all these stuff means etc explain me when u say something in good details. What is flashtool. Pleaseee
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
If you don't really understand what rooting your phone means then I would suggest that you don't really have a need to do it.
If you want to know how to unlock your bootloader and root your XS then read the relevant stickies in the Dev Forum, they explain everything in detail, you just have to spend the time to read them.

Try here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23181146&postcount=5
Yes, but the root bit will be the same...
Won't it?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
The process may be similar but he'll need to flash a pre-rooted version of the FW he's using or Doomkernel.
If he's planning on sticking with GB he'd be better to use one of DoomLord's methods so he can get CWM.
Guys the rollout for ICS is iminent do I just wait for that and root then.
Plus I cant find pre rooted 75 build any where...
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
Just go with the ICS everyone else is flashing; it works like a.charm.
If you want to stay with GB, then I think there is a rooted 76 somewhere around here.

you have to flash a Prerootets System image or a prerootet kernel... take al look at the devs forum, you found everything you need - try out Advanced stock kernel and then, through the recovery, install the Doomkernel and, if you needet, the WIFI modules
just rooted my xperia s last night, was able to unlocked it then i download cm9 and did the fastboot boot.img thing now as i open my phone all i get is the free xperia logo what should i do?
Rooting and flashing always come with user responsibility... (that's why I tend not to do this on new phones with valid warranty)
Try using the search function in the forum first. Or even try to do some basic google search for troubleshooting beforehand.
And BTW we actually have a Q&A section for question and answer.

-Download stock ICS v4.0.3 firmware from sammobile.com
-Install via Odin.
-Install custom kernel. / use this method
ROOTED.
Have you even bothered searching? Theres an exact same post regarding rooting and upgrading GB to ICS in the newbies thread today itself. Here. and a dozen more results that show up if you only search. If you have difficulty understanding some term, or some steps, chances are someone else has had the very same doubt and asked and had it solved. If you cant find that, ask. People will help. But do try yourself first eh?
Theres also another exact post he made about the same thing.
Im asking many times cz im new at this

The information is all there you just have to search for it.
Just a tip...... Opening numerous threads about topics that have been discussed a million times isn't the best thing to do, it will annoy people.
Good luck, the truth is out there.
