So I just put the new 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware onto my rooted Sola via PC Companion, and when the phone rebooted, I lost root. I was like okay, no prob, let's just root it again with bin4ry's method.
Well, it didn't work. I tried an older version, didn't work with that either.
This is a model where the bootloader can't be unlocked no matter what, so I can't flash the previous 6.1.1.B.1.10 firmware, I'm stuck with this. Apart from bin4ry's method, is there a way to root without unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks!

hi,
i have xperia neo and i rooted it before using DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
i updated software using pc companion to 4.0.2.A.62 i lost root but superuser was still installed
i tried to unroot it and root again but no luck superuser.apk is read only and all rooting methods don't work for me
please help i tried everything even factory reset but the superuser is still there and i can't remove it to root again
P.S: is there any way without needing to flash rom ?
Build .62 is currently unrootable so when you updated the firmware it probably broke it. I think the only way to fix it is to flash the rom.
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
yea you are right..
you must downgrade to .42 for root option..
Thanks guys for the reply.
the problem was solved after i downgraded to .42 and then used FlashTool to root the device if someone had the same problem and wanted to solve it
unfortunately the firmware i downloaded from the form is international version and doesn't have the Arabic language user interface, i will just have to live with it
.62 is rootable, using recovery. You need to flash RootXperia.zip with recovery for locked bootloaders.
Cheers.

I've tried that and it doesn't work.
When you try to install CWM it says that you need allow root access on the screen, but nothing will happen since you don't have root yet.
I had to downgrade.

Hello and sorry if this has been already asked. I just got my new Xperia Ray and I want to root it, but I can't. I have locked bootloader, android version 2.3.4 and firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62. Tell me exactly what to do cause I am really newbie. Send me links with tutorials to follow if needed.
P.S.: Moderators move it to right.section if it isn't right now. As I said I new here.

here for .62
as for unlocking bootloader , use the testpoint method , dont use the official SE method because if you use that method, your phone will brick when you apply the update from them.
With test point, you can get the official sony's ICS update.

I did googled, but it seems locked bootloader is the problem. And I can't unlock with testpoints. Any way to root with locked bootloader? Also I managed to get to 4.0.2.A.0.42.

if you got any problems with the testpoint, i think you have to try harder as i also had failed so many time doing that...maybe you have to manually install the driver..
I downgrade to .42 with flashtool and rooted with zerg tool. Then installed busybody and cwm with se tweak. All with locked bootloader!

Sorry to say mate you cannot root this using soc or any other easy root method.
You have either to downgrade to build .42 using flashtools then root then update ota.
ONLY DO THIS IF BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED.
If bootloader is unlocked then you can flash a pre rooted kernel which will give you root.
If you go to the se arc pages look in the stickies all the info you need is there with links to the tools you need.
Hope this helps

Installing incorrect ROM version caused this problem, for example installing Mini Pro(SK17) when you actually have Mini(ST15).

If you unlocked the official way, then use the Relock_bootloader.ftf file and flash it via Flashtool.
If you didn't use S1Tool, then don't use it now either.

This firmware cant be rooted with the flashtool or the adb method.
With the adb method when the it's said:
Good, it worked! Now we are rebooting soon, please be patient! ( the device rebooted as excepetd)
Waiting for device to come up again....
Going to copy files to it's place
mount: permission denied (are you root?)

Confirmed that flashing via flashtool will lose root and you can regain root by any of above mentioned kernels on unlocked bootloader.... For locked bootloader, I don't think there is a method to get root as of now... I think bin4ry will have to update root script for that....
