It would be all over the place here if they did. There was some progress with getting the first core to work but that's been the extent of the news. This probably isn't the right phone for people that need an unlocked bootloader.

I have 2.3.4 Firmware.
This link should help. Since you have 2.3.4 you probably have to downgrade but check in the instructions just to make sure. Follow the instructions very carefully and you should be ok. Good luck http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2

Having a problem- can't seem to root
Hey guys- I have a question/problem.
I updated via Kies as well. I didn't like the stock ROM, so I wanted to go back to "The Unofficial" that I was using before. However I can't find the right thread to get mine rooted for some reason. Can somebody point me to the right one please? I'm still fairly new at this and trying to get the hang of it.
Thanks!

I tried to the Odin root method after upgrading to the official ICS. It wouldn't boot. It got stuck at SAMSUNG logo.

No.
Once you have CWM you can flash any Rom...You would only need root of you wanted to run that firmware....rooting with cwm before you flash a Rom is an exercise in futility...the Rom itself will be rooted one flashed.

That's because you just flashed a gingerbread kernel on an ics Rom.
The gingerbread root .tar is for gingerbread only...
Solved! Thank you,

Double post
I was wondering how Carrier and Country affect getting updates? I have a Z Ultra 6802 (HK - came with Chinese apps) and haven't seen the 501 update on my phone yet and I really don't want to unlock the bootloader.
So I guess my ultimate question is: Will I get the update in the US while on AT&T? (I'm ok waiting, just want to know)
Thanks,

Eventually. Or you can do what I did and flash a generic 510. Then use PC companion to repair if it doesn't work properly. When repaired, a new version of 510 is installed by Sony that works.

Does this require unlocking the bootloader or root? I don't want to so that quite yet...

Look at the opening posts for both these threads. The first shows you how to flash the firmware that will need repair and the second will show you how to repair.

I have the xt912, do you think it would work anyway? Also this will definitely work with 4.1.2?

Hi all,
I have Sony Xperia Z Tablet which I want to gain root access for.
Device details:
Model number: SGP311
16GB
Android 4.3
Build Number: 10.4.B.0.577
Not sure if relevant, but the tablet was bought in USA.
I'm pretty much a newbe here, so I would like, if possible, to get a link for a simple tutorial how to root my device.
10'x!
If only there was a search button...

Hi Felimenta97,
Thanks for your reply.
I have seen the post you've linked here before I've posted my question (I definitely know how to use the search option ) but its seemed somewhat complicated/Indirect way compare to the simple ways of rooting I'm used to from my 2 other devices (SGS3, Nexus 4)
Is there any simpler/straightforward way?
Thanks in advance!

Nope. There is no current exploit in 4.3 Sony firmware. So, you either unlock your bootloader, or do that process.
Wait till 4.4!
If I was you, I'd wait till KitKat upgrade comes out! after that I'd root my tablet

What about Kingo App?
You think it might do the work?

Isn't that almost always the case with updates?
Anyway, has anyone tried to root this tablet on 4.3 with Kingo App or VROOT?
10'x all for your help!

I tried with VROOT, but seems like there's no update yet. Was researching about 4.3 root methods, there a few, most of them you have to go back to 4.2 and then upgrade, but a direct root, no, I haven't found one yet :good:
Is there any simple way to root this device?
