what should iI do?
will iI be able to unroot it later if needed?
and pls provide link to root sony xperia tipo tutorial if nothing is to worry.
thanx in advance
I think xperia tipo isnt rootable yet though, generally when u root you got clear ideas about why you are doong it. If u dont, u should forget thill you are sure

Yes you do void the warranty and it is Sony. Sony are not so willing on the open source... You could get caught by their naughty firmware update or I dunno.. Have the whole Anonymous crew in your phone.... Seriously, if you ask yourself if you should root then you shouldn't. You will know when you will want to root if you need to.

You should root if you want to get the most out of your device.
I think you need to root it

We don't know yet how Sony will manage this phone. You better wait some time to see problems other people are gonna e patience modifying Sony's new phone. This is Sony after all, they always hated mods on their products.

ok then waiting for confirmed rooting tut
With rooting you can run LuckyPatcher and to remove the Google ads or to review the license. Of course is better to root your phone,:good:
Just so u know, i'm from india Hyderabad 2 b exact. I rooted my Neo V and Pro both. I took my Neo V 2 times for warranty and Pro once. I just unrooted them and gave it to them. No probs at all. And in here they dont even check. The worker told that to me himself. Just make sure u have original Bill of purchase.

Hey guys, I know this may sound stupid but it's just noob's questions
about the rom does it require unlocked bootloaders 'coz for some reason i'm not finding the courage to unlock them and if i do, would i be able to get them back the way they were if i want to???
OK i got it i was too stupid to read the title it says "for unlocked bootloaders" but can anyone plz answer my question about getting back to locked bootloaders???
thank you
Hey pal yeah, as u noticed, cm is unlocked bl only coz of kernel. Yes u can relock ur bl (however u unlocked should have a reverse) but just out of interest y u want to?

i belive that with unlocked bootloaders i would never be able to install official updates again... and yes i'm still hoping that sony may release more updates
Well first off the processes are reversible and also i wouldnt expect official ics ur best chance is fxp rom

I have been using s3 fr past 2weeks. It performs awesomely... super fast and all.. should I root? I know abt the warranty problem. But still, wot r the benefits on rooting s3? Is it worth? I know rooting gives us root privileges. But, is rooting s3 really worth or at all needed?

The accepted opinion is that if you have to ask then don't root .
Root when you require root or decide to join XDA Developers forum to flash mods and custom roms etc .

+1 Read about rooting, roms, kernels, apps and then decide. Rooting has many advantages but if you don`t need/miss them don`t.

Well of you have to ask about the advantages than you will be better off without rooting your phone..
But the once you get root priviledges..you can modify the device to your liking ..you dont have you follow your devicemaker's configurations...biggest advantages is that you can change your operating system to something different which suits your needs ..

If you don't know any of the benefits, and you have to ask other people whether to root or not, you either should read up or not root.

Can u give some specific advantages? I'm not so ignorant of rooting. But I just don't know in much detail about it. last time I rooted was my old xperia x10 mini pro.

You can revert back, but your bootloader wont be locked again. It wl be 'relocked'... and if you go to service center and they miss that point then u wl b lucky to claim warranty. Else, welcome back to xda

mmm ok, I'm thinking to unlock it, because I like to test roms searching the best for this model...
I just hope my phone doesn't die in the try hehe.. :laugh:
Thanks for the quick answer!!
So dont want to be this bad but:
in varrancy is written that it can avoid you warrancy. What does this mean? For example if you have unlocked, changed kernel and rom and broke your camera in lww warrancy still exist. But it always depends of service.
What I know? They have paid more for repaired phone that send back to you
What else can I say? I had phone, broke screen ( hardware, my fault ). I talked with guy and he toke it in my provider saloon and sent. They repaired. What this mean? I think that they are repairing whatever they will get.
But they are only my checks. So now about bootloader. It gives a lot of possibilites and I think it is worth as our phones are cheap. And trust me have my phone about year and no issue. Installed a lot of kernels, roms and tweaks but works like a charm. I can say you that it could die only in unlocking bootloader. Later depends of your reading faqs and tuts. And dont panic when will be doing this. I almost fixed when unlocking but tried again with calm and all did good.
.
If Im wrong with the thread so I think all had been explained and thread can be close.If answers satifie you please change title of your first post to solved
actually it depends on the store,
if they decide to check on the bootloader by sony's site (some imei info would be there if unlocked officially)
then they may say that the warranty is void
or if they dont check it in detail, they may repair it under warranty,

You just bought a new one and want to install a different rom? Why don't you use the standard one for a few weeks and try to find out what you miss in the original rom. Then read a lot in this forum and make up your mind which rom you like and why you want to change it?
I don't understand the rush you have. Take your time.
I will get my tablet tomorrow (Sony Xperia Tablet Z WiFi only 16GB & Sony SGP-CV5) i bought this new set in Germany for 319 euro !
I will not install a new rom in the comming months. I did not do that wih my Xperia Z phone either.
but on the other hand it is your tablet and you can do what ever you want it.
Thanks for the reply. Will it work on the phone as well. Using this method?

I've rooted my tablet using the 1 click root method as well but the SU binaries fail to update after installing SuperUser, anyone know why?
All the apps that require root don't have any problems but I'm still wondering why the binaries fail to update...
Hey guys, i just got my M4 Aqua (E2303) and, i'd like to ask if is there any way to root it? I'd like to remove the bloatware etc..
Searching the same thing right now.. Also just sent an email to Sony asking bout that otg problem...

read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/recovery-twrp-command-line-t3198973
i did it on my girlfriends phone and it worked, so no more bloatware
but to do this you have to unlock bootloader and your drm keys are lost.
Well i don't know about you guys. I live in Greece, I've just checked my m4 and it has an unlocked bootloader. Maybe has to do with region? I don't really know..
Wish i had a solution to the otg problem as well... Sony said that it can serve as a Usb host, but the phone seems to disagree with the above opinion.. Anyway, thanks for the link. I'll check it out once i get my phone back from service..
