So I updated my device from ICS 4.0.4 to JB from the last unbranded update but after the update I lost CWM Recovery and Superuser Application but not the root cause I can still open apps like Titanium Backup and Root Explorer...the thing is that I want to try a new ROM but since I'm now in JB dont know if I can install the recovery from ICS of the S3 Toolkit V4 that I have or if I need to root it again or what to do in order to flash ROMs again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27597756
Go here and flash CWM touch with mobile odin and start flashing

I tried but when I open its says it can't obtain superuser permissions...I already installed it but it still says I can't use it but my question is why I can use root explorer if I'm supposed to not have root

And now I tried to install more ROOT Applications and all says I have no root maybe it's a bug with Root Explorer

im sure once you have upgraded to JB you will lose root mate
so use your CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
Guys, I want some help.
I just upgrade my Xperia U using Pc Companion and I got this Firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54
I tried to Root via Flashtool, via Byn4ry root files and nothing worked.
Can anyone provide me a link where I can root my sweat Phone?
Thanks in advance
To root that firmware you need to first flash B.10 kernel then Root and then again .54 kernel
Flash only Kernel of 6.1.1.B.1.10
Root with Bin4ry V13 (New version doesn't work)
Once rooted, flash only kernel from the .54
Can i flash kernels with locked bootloader?

You need to flash 6.1.1.B.10 in order to root ur phone
1) flash b1.10 kernel via flashtool (dont wipe anything, exclude everthng except kernel)
2) root via flashtool or bin4ry
3) flash 6.1.1.B.54 kernel back

Also I have read posts about using the flash tool and they say check/uncheck certain things but mine are all grayed out? The column on the left displaying the flash file is fine but the content and the other 3 columns are all greyed out? Could I have a dodgy flashtool maybe?

Whenever you manually flash a stock firmware either 2.3 or 4 u have to root it again. Don't flash the whole rom, just flash the b.10 kernel, root using bin4ry, and again flash just .54 kernel.
bin4ry

Unfortunately bin4ry doesn't work for me... it goes through the whole process but at the end it says something like ..
copying files error ( are you rooted? ).
complete.
any ideas how else to do it..

Ok......all done!
In case anybody else is having the same problem this is what i did.
I used bin4ry on my up to date unrooted xperia U. Android version 4.0.4 build 6.1.1.B.1.10.
I was getting errors saying "adb server out of date" but i left it to go to the end anyway.
restarted my phone but when it came to enter my password for my sim card the screen was faded. so i re-flashed the up to date android version again making my phone unrooted again!
then tried bin4ry again and this time it worked without any adb errors and restarted the phone to find that i have superuser app and all is good.
Thanks for previous posts offering help..

Good. You should always check the drivers if they are installed correctly or not.
-Connect your device to PC
-Open Flashtool.
-Goto Help, Check drivers.
-List of ADB devices must be present.
when loading the b 10 kernel into the flashtool,do i also have to put loader sin into the firmware on flashtool aswell?
Hello,
I have an SE LWW on stock 4.0.4 with the build number .587. It currently is rooted and has the Xperia Z launcher by ThilinaC. How can I revert back to the original launcher without losing root? And I did not make a CWM backup after rooting because of less space in SD card.
I was thinking of maybe restoring it through SUS but I don't want to root again. But then, I wanted to delete some apps so I am again thinking of restoring and then re-rooting.
So please explain me the answer to my first question and is it safe to restore using the SUS because I have a rooted phone?
P.S. The boot loader is still locked.
Thank you,
Asad

Just find the original Home.apk and push it to /system/app
Find the stock Home.apk and HomePreferences.apk (or a similar name) and copy it to /system/app. Set the permissions and reboot
So I updated the phone via SUS thinking that I will root again. So, I flashed the stock GB Rom through Flashtool but I did not turn 'on' the USB debugging and unknown sources and changed the connectivity method to MSC mode. It failed when unused the Xperia Root app by DoomLord. So, I used SUS again and it updated it to GB with the build number .62(When I flashed GB rom, it had a build number of .58). So I flashed the stock rom via flashtool and updated it to the latest build number .587 of ICS. Then I restarted the root process and turned 'on' USB debugging and unknown sources and changed the connectivity mode to MSC and flashed GB Tom. It flaged successfully, but after flashing it does not get root access after using the Xperia Root tool. I did everything as mentioned. But, it still fails.
Any help?
Any way to turn it back to factory state through an official way?

Yes. Any way to return it to the factory state so I can try to root again?
How about downgrading to GB and using the PC Companion software.

You can downgrade to .42 or .58 and root. After that you run the local-prop script (you can find it in the tutorial how to root .431) and update phone without wiping data. Now you run push-root-files and you should have root access

But the root method fails. I can't root, Ye actual problem is that. If the root works, I know that I have to flash a stock ICS Rom and then use Xperia Root to root it. I have done that before but the actual problem is that it doesn't get rooted on GB.

I think I lost my root after flashing a rom.
I went from Stock ICS to DeleciousSandwich rom on my
Sony Live With Walkman Phone (with rooted, cwm installed & locked bootloader)
and everything works just fine with the exception that my root apps are not working. They report an error saying no root access found
What should I do?

For users who don't have one and I assume recovery is lost with a fresh firmware flash via FlashTool.
Ah I see where you are heading. Nah never unlocked the bootloader, just rooted it.

Yeah I took the plunge less than a week of having it
But I used Sony's website instead of FlashTool.
I had to upgrade to 314 to see if some of the problems I had with the Z2 were addressed. So far so Good, the double-tap to wake feature was spotty at best and now it works like a charm. Now to see if the proximity issue still exists...(The screen would stay off like it should on calls but the digitizer would still function!)
How can I add adb?
I'm guessing you're running the root but it's not finding adb, right?
If you don't have adb I'm sure it's on Google or these forums in hundreds of locations.
After you have it just put the contents of the root in the same directory as adb is.

For those wondering where the new version of rootkitXperia with the supersu v2.0.1 is... It is exactly the same link and 20140719 file name as it was before. Try downloading it again and re-rooting again.

Who said you had to install recovery?
Recovery was recommended because new firmware had problems with supersu 2.01 and you had to flash binaries from recovery...now that's history so there's no need for recovery...
Just root device and that's all...

You can try the root tool and let us know if it works. No harm trying. It'll fail to root at the worst.
ERT v11
I just used ERT v11 & tr.apk v3 to root .314 firmware. Worked on 2nd attempt mind you, basically cause I wasn't watching what I was doing lol. But it worked :victory: This was after using pc companion to update to .314 and it wiping my root on .402. But just to let you all know that ERT also works on .314
