How can i root and unroot sony xperia sola . Also what are the pros and cons of doing so
Pros=you can really give new life to phone with custom roms, and you can cheat on games with gamekiller haha
Cons=hmmm losing warranty I guess, and not receiving official updates, but Sony wont be making any updates for sola
This could help you

Can any body help me to root my xperia sola having android version 2.3.7????
Rooting gb requires unlocked bootloader ( havent seen sola gb rooting topic yet
I suggest u to upgrade to ics n root
Since rooting will let u manipulate the device by urself so there is no point in staying at gb

Rooting ics is much easier than gb.Just a number of clicks and you are done.
Hi guys, I have Xperia sola upgraded to ICS...I would to gain root permissions, but my smartphone is in warranty. I read somewhere that is possible to gain root permission on Xperia sola with ICS without unlocking the boot loader (unlocking the bootloader I would lose my warranty, right?) so I would root permission without lose my warranty. I found a procedure that explain how to do this (but for the Xperia U), the procedure is this:

Rooting does not unlock your boot loader...... So go ahead and root your fone.....
For guide to rooting just use the stickies in this section.... It's for all Xperia......

If your XP is rooted, you can you Link2SD app to freeze Update Center, restart and your phone will never ask for update new Firmware!

hi guys... as i was thinking to unlock the bootloader of my XGO, I wanted to know that are there any disadvantages of doing it?
like i read somewhere that after unlocking BL the bravia engine doesnt works... so is it true or just myth? also if there any known downsides of unlocking the BL then plz tell me...
And 1 more thing i wanted to ask that as im using POWER JB rom right now, so do i need to be on stock rom to unlock the BL or can i continue with the power jb rom ?
thanks in adv.

1) The disadvantages are that you will loose bravia engine and you will void your warranty. The only reason you should unlock your bootloader is for installing custom kernels.
You can relock your bootloader via flashtool.This way you will have your warrranty back but you will not get back bravia engine as far as i know because you will loose DRM keys.
2) The rom you are using if for all bootloaders. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to boot system
3) You can unlock your bootloader even if you are on a custom rom but i suggest you to take a backup and install the stock firmware.
4) My opinion is that if you don't want to install custom kernels, cm10 or cm9.1, just leave the device as it is now mate.
5) Don't mess with things that you don't know because you may regret. Unlock bootloader only if you want to install the custom kernel or cm9.1 or cm10.
6) Here you will find a tutorial on how to unlock your bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
Should work on xperia go also.
Didn't make a separate thread as I got the same doubts.
I am using Xperia sola , rooted with stock ICS.
I want to eventually use a stable JB ROM.
I am not worried about losing warranty.
I want to know about the DRM keys.
Is there a way to backup or save "DRM keys"?
And then restore them when I want to relock bootloader?
