Hello.
I have been trying to make root but I could not do it.
My computer sees Sola as S1Boot Fastboot, but I cannot download Kernel and the LED is not blue. It's like violent.
How can I use Flashtool and flash the Kernel ? When I flash the kernel, will I able to format the system and install CM9 ?
Is there anyone out there?
There are many tutorials about this. You should look for it little harder..
Are you still on stock rom? Which firmware? If it's 10, you can root using restore method by b1nary. Hope I write correct name.. If you are on fw 54, flash kernel 10, root it using above method, then flash kernel 54 back

I am still on 6.1.1.B.1.54 Stock Rom bro. I am trying to unlock bootloader. I have been trying since yesterday. I have read too much things but I could not do it. Should I watch Binary's video again?
When trying to flash kernel, flashtool says " It must be rooted first " What should I do? I don't understand Binary's Method well. What should I download ?
In Binary's method there is something wrong. I am doing everything in that video, my phone resets itself and I don't still have Superuser app in my phone.
Rooting and unlocking are different thing.. i haven't unlocked as well.. have u seen this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35024193&postcount=1
Can someone help me with this??

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.

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.

Ita not required root man, just usb debugging on and unknown sources on.

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 would just google "how to root xperia ray." Seriously thats how I rooted my droid x. Thats actually how most network problems get fixed at work.

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!

I had a very quick look at that thread and it looks like it does.
It's always worth using the search button in these forums. It can save you a lot of time.

good question, if ticklefish is right, then this will save me lots of time when i test new things on mi own roms, because it bricks often
Stock .587 is unrootable via adb.
ro.secure=1 makes it secure against exploit.
It does not it is for 4.1.A.0.562

Why u worry first downgrade to ginger than just update via Ota i.e wifi.. Root will remain.. Easy ics with latest kernel..

If you have boot loader unlocked then just flash the custom kernel as the kernels have in built su binaries and cwm recovery. As mine is also 587 built live with Walkman and I'm running cm10 on it. I have just flashed custom rom and that's it. No doom lord kit nothing else. Only kernel flash using flash tool

It's impossible to root it with a toolkit, see my rooting guide sticked in general forum how to root .587
I mean to say if you have unlocked bootloader then rooting via flashtool by flashing custom kernel is simplest and safest process. But you need bootloader unlocked

Hi,
I am new in rooting android. Let me explain you all my issues in detail as I've been searching for long but didn't got any info regarding my case.
Scene:::
I never rooted my Xperia neo v.
I updated to Official ICS latest firmware. My neo was running fine for about 4 to 5 months (except it was laggy).
Recently, When I turned on the bluetooth , it got stuck in bootloop . So, searched and from the great developers help in this forum, I got the solution to Falsh my neo v with stock rom . I did and now I've 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Now,My questions are:::
Q1. Can I root my Neo V without unlocking the bootloader ?
Q2. I tried the Fastboot method but Android SDK Manager doesn't run on my Windows 8 64bit, tried to fix it too but it didn't fix. So any alternate solution to this method?
Q3. Also, When I check via *#*#7378423#*#*, it says 'Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes'.Does it mean I've an Unloackedbootloader?
And it might sound a lil stupid, But Please can I have the detail rooting solution according to my above questions?
Thanks all,
Akash
First of all there's no connection in rooting and bootloader.
Rooting is simply giving super user capabilities or allowing root acess,like admin rights in windows.which stock android os don't provide for security reasons.
If your bootloader is locked you can't install other kernels accept the default sony provided kernels,but you can root,install other custom roms like ihave zellycream v2.meanwhile in unlocked bootloader you can flash with custom kernel of your choice.
The message ur getting means you have a locked bootloader, which can b unlocked.to unlocking there are several methods..you can get by searching the forum.
About me I have a locked bootloader. And on zellycream v2 rom.

Yes you can, my advice is don't unlock, it voids warranty and the only reasonyou would want to is to flash a custom kernel. You can still root and install cmw with a locked bootloader and most Roms are flashable via cmw

Ya u can unlock ur booloader and can still flash stock..
And their nt rish becoz u can still relock ur bootloader when u wish.
