1. Bootloader s not unlocked in ics. U need to upgrade to jb to unlock.
2. For rooting p765 on ics downgrade to ics v10c use binary method then update to 10g without doing anything with system.
3. Yes u can flash any kdz on ur device unless u know hw to retain ur region's baseband.
EDIT: or u can use lelus method for rooting. All rooting threads are in development section.

Thanks for your reply i want to know one or two things
1) will rooting will solve my apps to sd problem ( as there is no option in ics)
2) bootloader can't be unlocked like
We use to do in xperia devices, using fastboot mode

1. Apps to sd works or not m not sure but u can swap internal and ur ext sd card memories so that should solve problem about less internal memory.
2. For info about bootloader unlocking check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190326 :thumbup:

Hi I recently bought the sony ericsson WT19i (Live), now I want to flash cyanogenmod but i don't know how. I read something about unlocking bootloader bu I can only find tutorials for Xperia range phone's also is there a way to backup my current ROM and EFS partition?.
I have alot of expirience with android so just some links should do.
Also is there a way to Re-Lock the bootloader?
You must unlock bootloader first. Then flash custom rom, and install cm using update zip.

Thanks but unlocking avoids warranty and no official updates. Is it worth it?
From what i understand with a locked bootloader you cant boot into recovery, right?

Ssory my english is bad. I am russian user.
With unlocked bootloder you can not oficially update you device.
You can install cwm to locked stok rom and boot into recovery.
Unlock bootloader only need to flash modded kernel.
after unlocking you can lock bootloader. Drm key's not restore

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!

read that. Everything regarding bootloader unlocking should be there remember, you MUST be on stock 2.3.3 rom to unlock bootloader. The official Sony Ericsson rom, not any stock-based rom..
Hi, iam new to Sony but did have htc wildfire I've rooted and overclocked, iam about to root Sony Xperia mini but I've noticed someone say theres 2 different methods depending on your bootloader I've done that *# code and checked it says yes so what iam wondering and wanting to find out is how to check the bootloader is locked or unlocked, iam on .62 software iam looking to downgrade, root then update, any help would be appreciated thanks
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
Connect it to flashtool and look at the Bootloader Status: ROOTED or ROOTABLE. ROOTED means the bootloader is unlocked
Or you type *#*#7378423#*#* and go to service info -> configuration -> rooting status:
bootloader unlocked: yes [obviously it's unlocked ]
bootloader unlock allowed: yes [unlockable]
bootloader unlock allowed: no [not unlockable, only with a paid method]
Ok thank you, iam sure its locked and with *# I get yes so that means its unlockable, all I wanna do is delete standard apps that come on phone. So should I use and follow your method for locked bootloader? Do I just flash straight over the .62, thanks
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
Sorry also where u say
MAKE SURE PC COMPANION OR SONY UPDATE SERVICE ISN'T RUNNING IN BACKGROUND WHILE YOU ARE FLASHING!!! DON'T USE THIS METHOD IF YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED, OTHERWISE YOUR DEVICE WILL BRICK!! (Unlocked bootloader can't do updates over the air, but flashing won't destroy your phone on unlocked bootloader!)
Is that on pc? Thanks

Yes this is on PC
Yes just follow the guide to root it and afterwards you can delete all unwanted apps :good:

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.
