I've rooted and installed my old neo V some time back, but now I've been given another terminal with stock firmware and running 4.3.2 android, my using "DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su" as sugested in other posts in this forum, all that happens is the phone reboots and the bat file reports a bunch of errors, mostly "file is only read", on the other hand flashtool doesn't seem to get me very far as clicking root after the program reconizes the phone does nothing.
Will I have to downgrade from 4.3.2 to 4.0.4 to root the phone? I haven't found any documentation on this.
I remember having to pay like 10 bucks of my credit card and using a cable connected to GND to jump a jtag like conexion off the board last time I did this, I'm sorry if I came to you guys with my problem, but I've had this problem all night.
Once rooted the no need to root it again.. it's 4.2.2 not 4.3.2..
It you wanna downgrade use stock ftf flash using flash tool

I was trying to flash the original software that came with he phone, however because I updated the phone's software I should have flashed the latest software.
Okay im asking this question for a friend.
He currently has an 1.6 X10 (stock) which i have managed to root.
However the USB port is broken ( a common problem ) so we can't use flash tool or anything requiring USB.
So now we are rooted on 1.6 can we get Xrecovery or some form of recovery on to the the phone ? we have got busy box installed and have tryed to run the newest Xrecovery.apk from this site but its fails at parsing the file.
Any help on this would be great as he would like to get 2.1 on his phone so he can then continue to use official updates ( he doe snot care that he will loose root if he does this )
Regards,
I have the exact same problem. Tried every way of installing xrecovery, still no luck.
Anyone help please?
You can try adb over wifi if u r android version have it see in developers option if there then I can root by adb commands over wifi

Hello! I'm new here and I searched for a similar thread but I didn't find one so don't sweat me with the search posts and read the whole post before commenting...
So, I tried to root Galaxy 5 (GT-I5500) which runs Android 2.2 and it just looks impossible. Programs I tried to use are Super One Click, z4root and Universal Androot.
Problem with SOC is that it stops responding after 2 messages appear:
Killing ADB Server...
Starting ADB Server... daemon not running. Starting it on port 5
After this it stops working... (Have the drivers for the phone and ADB stuff installed!)
The problem with z4root is that after "Acquiring root shell" my phone vibrates and just kicks me out from the program with no messages/warnings.
Universal Androot (1.6.2 b5) Says it's unable to root and that's it.
It seems that this phone has some kind of protection because I saw many other people unlocking this phone with all 3 programs I mentioned.
I got this phone from VIP SRB and I heard that if you buy a phone with contract like I did, they will somehow lock it to make it almost impossible to root.(I guess it's not impossible, that's why I'm asking you guys)
So my question is how to crack that protection that this phone has (If it has one) and how do I finally root it.
Same problem for me....
I have the same problem and posted a thread a couple of days ago.
I had already rooted my i5500, but I had a problem with titanium backup that I installed on it...it ended up stuck in the loop screen when I pulled the battery on it. I couldn't get the phone to do a factory restore by pressing whichever buttons I needed to, so I had to flash another rom, using Odin (latest one, i think...the phonebase is WJP4) to it and use backup to restore apps and setting etc..
I now can't root it using the same methods you have and get the same error messages. Although with Super One Click it gets to stage 3 of rooting and then it's as though I have pulled the USB cable out, so it can't finish the root
I am going to flash an older rom to it and see if that has any effect...I want to eventually put a custom rom on it!!!
this worked for me...
After my last post here I tried reflashing a stock rom to my i5500 to see if that was the problem and it didn't, still had the same issues as you did.
My success came when I used Unlock Root 2.2. You have to install it on your computer and enable USB debugging on your phone (as with SuperOne Click) but it worked without errors!
I hope this method works for you (I think it would have worked without me reflashing my phone), let me know if it works
Worked OK!

i have same issue but did not find any solution
Hello, my first post in these forums. Have been exploring a bit through all the information, and I think I need some help. I am pretty experienced with networks and windows/linux usage and administration, but have been using an android phone for just 2 weeks.
I have a Sony Xperia U with Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread, as it came out of the box. Any updates have yet to arrive, PC Companion says that I am using the last available firmware but I know that this is not the case as several ICS firmwares have already been published. Bootloader is locked, but can be unlocked.
I would like to flash my phone manually to ICS, using the last (or the best as recommended by you) firmware update. I would like to start with a stock rom, try rooting and than try custom roms when I get accustomed to the process of flashing. Mostly, I want to use the phone to the most of it's abilities (battery, speed, graphics etc).
I have found here that last firmware is 6.1.1.B.1.89, but I could not find it here on the forums.
First, I am in a dilemma which .ftf file to use for my phone. I have downloaded:
XperiaU_ICS4.0.4_nu.ftf
ST25i_.54_Nordic_DevStaff.ftf
ST25i_6.1.1.B.1.54 GENERIC - user_Sony.ftf
I have checked two threads in more detail:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028139
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974430
What does SI Number or ROM Location 1263-1753 / WORLD mean? My number on the back of the phone (behind the battery) is 1261-9036. What happens if I flash 1263-1753 firmware to my phone? Please recommend an ICS firmware that performs well and is applicable to my phone.
Can I use ST25i_6.1.1.B.1.54 GENERIC - user_Sony - since there is no SI Number or ROM Location there? Can I root this firmware through Flashtool OR Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v26. I would like to root to be able to delete bloatware from Sony.
I have also looked at Freexperia project, but it says there that the version is still in development and has issues with FM Radio - which is something I use every day.
Other than this, I installed flashtool-0.9.10.1 on Windows 7. I installed the drivers in Flashtool\drivers. All drivers said "Ready to use". Rebooted the PC, switched off the phone. When I connected it while holding Volume-up, it said ready to use. When I connected it while holding Volume-down, it says device disconnected. Have tried reinstalling the drivers (Flashboot and Flashmode are selected), Windows Safe Mode, disabled Microsoft Security Essentials. I went to Device Manager (as suggested in the forums) and I uninstalled "Android Device", the drivers would still not work.
This morning I remembered that USB debugging was not checked on the phone - might this be the problem? I will try again when I get home. Please provide any other tips to connect the Xperia to Flashtool.
Thank you for all replies in advance. All best.
[UPDATE]
I went to Sony's website for unlocking the bootloader. Is the Android SDK necessary for Flashtool too? Do I need the android_winusb.inf file provided there?
Thanks for all the information here.
I flashed my phone with ST25i_6.1.1.B.1.54 GENERIC - user_Sony, along with [Kernel][Sony Xperia U][March - 24] Sliding_XU [Stock][CM]
First impression is that it is laggy, much slower than Gingerbread. Any recommendations?
All best.
if u are on stock android u will hate it. Its time for u to start searching and flashing custom stock based roms... These are usually VERYY smooth... NO MATTER WHAT DO NOT STAY AT STOCK ANDROID, trust me, u will want to take a hammer and smash ur phone... Also, consider using kernels that allow u to overclock ur phone... Do not worry, if u overclock from 1ghz to 1.15ghz i dont think u will have any problem... Have been using overclocked phone for 6 months and so far no problem...
Thank you for the reply. I am using CM 9 (FXP213) as of an our ago, and I can feel the amazing difference. As I can see, CM has very basic apps by default. As it says on the CM wiki:
Optional: Download any supplemental 3rd-party applications packages for the device you wish to use. (You have to install a 3rd-party app to get the Google apps, like Gmail, Play Store, and Youtube.)
Where do I download these from? Any other resources on CM that are good for a new user?
All best.
I recently got a Xperia X10a, and I noticed that it has the android 1.6 on it. I know that the newest version of Android is 4.2 so I started searching the internet for an update to android 4.0.4 at least. I discovered that the android 4 for the X10 isn't completed so I went to android 2.3 and found the site freexperia, there you can download the CM7 for X10. I'm a noob, I don't know what a kernel is and what I can cause to the phone by changing it so I need help, because every tutorial explains how to update from 2.1/2.3 to 2.3.3 or something like that. I also tried to update the phone throug SE Pc companion and update service, but I can't pass through the step of pressing back and plugging the phone in again, I do what is said to do but nothing happens and the phone just turns back on. Also i saw something about the baseband and changing it to most recent one, but I don't know how to do it, and I discovered that you can put multitoutch in the X10. How can I update from android 1.6 to 2.3? I need to update the baseband? If yes how and to what version(i'm from brazil, and I don't know if this change from country to country) What are the main differences between CM7 and the official SE 2.3 updates? Through these updates the multitouch will be automatically installed in my device? I also would like to install clock work mod on my device, how can I do that?
PS.: I read the thread about using the flashtool to do many thing to my device, and the tutorial was very clear, so if I can do what I want using tha tutorial as a foundation the process will be much more easy.
Well, I've been trying to update for a while now and I think I discovered the problem. As I need at least the Android 2.1 to start doing what I want with my phone I have to update via PC companion, but when I reach the end of the preparing step I get an error on my PC, after I turning off the device I plug it in holding down the back key and a pop up apears saying that the device had a malfunctionig and is not conect so I get stuck in this step, as the device is not recognized. Can anyone help me?
What i did with mine is rooted the phone while on 1.6 then changed the region code. After connecting via pc comp i got the update to 2.3.
