Hi,
I (rty'd) Rooted this device by thise Rooting method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
[Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31]
In the menu - i chose 3 while it looks like i had to pick 1.
Since them:
1) People told me that phone is off.
2) Calls are just hang off (not by me or by the anyone else).
3) 3G problems.
I tried to find the restore file by this guide: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2013/Jun/115
But i didn't find anything (is it make sence? or maybe bc's the Root procedure didn;t succeed ... i dont have the backup file?
Is there any way to get the factory rom+factory bootloader and cetera , for flash them to the device?
Please - need your "heavy tools" help here...:fingers-crossed:
Thank you very much!

O.k...so it should be:
1. Unroot...let the tool do the process...
2. Option 1...let it do the process and finish.
What is the chanse that this process can overwrite the files system (b.l, radio, rom...) and resolve the problem?

Hi,
Sadly - it didn't worked.
Do u know if i will flash a fresh stock rom with the Flashtool - it could make a fresh rom, overwrite files?
What is the right ROM STOCK for the Xperia P? Afraid to flash a wrong file/s.
Thank you.

Why not repair with PC Companion or install with SUS? I think they should get the right one for you.

Only sucseed unlocking the bootloader.
I tried also to change the kernal (read it on another guide) but it just wasnt helpful.
I think that the solution will be ONLY by flashing the factory rom + factory kernel by the flashtool.
The question is how can i find the right factory rom?
Have to say that i quait afraid that i will flash the wrong files...

I did not suggest to unlock the bootloader, I just asked, because PCC would not update unlocked bootloader.
Have you tried SUS? It won't update unlocjed BL either, and won't even begin to update, I had a message telling I have a modified FW and it cannot update, but PCC only fails after it download the files.
What error did you get in PCC?
"Factory rom" vary from country and service providers if it sold with a contract. Which ROM exactly do you need?
Which FW version do you have now?

Hi,
Good news...hope so
I canceled the Root in bootloader -> then updated the rom with the updating software of Sony and the process finished without any issues.
Till now it looks good...but w'll need to have more then 8 hours of use to know if it did resolved it.
But it looks like a good and maybe we could be optimistic:good:
Thanks so much for your helping desire - all along!
I your FW version is 6.2.A.1.100 and you wish to root use DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit it's easy and no brainer.

I will directly get down with the questions..
1. Some days back my Xperia-S stopped snycronizing with my pc, Pc companion will detect my phone just as an phone but stopped accessing it's internal memory. Did some research and found no help. Even SEUS update wont update my phone n alwayz threw an error saying "My phone has modified app in it so it cant be updated"

What i found? : Through this forum search i found that this problem occurs if you have your Bootloader Unlocked or if your phone is Rooted. Searched on with the service number ( *#*#7378423#*#*) and Bootloader Unlock says "YES"
Q: Does it mean that my Bootloader is Locked or Unlocked? If locked then how come i cant access to SEUS for general update or how come PC COMPANION wont recognize my phone?
P.S : Thanks to Napster, Rogro and DoomLord for this great app -- SD CARD MOUNTER FOR XPERIA S

2. After i found out that i have root access to my phone (Found it out when i hooked my phone to flashtool ..yeah! m a noob!) i found out that i can manually update my phone by downloading stock roms. Hope am right on this one. Questions are..
a. My Xperia came with .73 Firmware. Do i need to update .75 before i can update it to .76 and so on? And whats the difference between Rooted/Pre-rooted/TW and NL?? Coz i dont think .76 firmwire has any generic ftf file on xda server :S
b. Can i update any ROMS on my Phone? As in ICS got Generic DE, NL and so on .. Need to know the differences too.
c. What is the difference between Custom ROMS and Stock ROMS?
d.My Rooting status still says that i have my Bootloader Locked .. it says YES (It does mean that my bootloader is locked right??) Do i need to Unlock my bootloader to update firmwires and stock roms through flashtool? Or should i just let it be?
Please do let me know..
Thank You
Regards
Ashique From Bangladesh
So long...
Don't need to unlock your boatloader if you want to flash stock only.
For other ROMs, you should. Only for miui you don't have to.
I advise you strongly to read the all you need to know post in development...

Through the picture you have been posted, I have a feeling that u've unlocked bootloader! And *#*#7378423#*#* said Allow bootloader unlock= yes: doesn't state that u've either unlocked or locked bootloader but it does tell you that u're able to unlock your bootloader! Once u've unlocked it, ur phone won't sync with ur pc, that's the reason why i've said that u've unlocked bootloader! To gain access to PCC or SUS again u must relock ur bootloader! To use flashtool u don't have to unlock ur bootloader if u want to update with official .tft., but u can't flash any custom kernels. Finally u can skip any updates if you want either on Official PCC or flashtool! Hope this would help!

Thanks for the updates and about the bootloader well i guess its unlocked. Though i face new problem, which is, i had root access before i upgraded my firware to .76 TW. Can you tell me how i can gain back my root access with .76TW STOCK firware? Cant use titanium or busybox anymore
If u want to gain back ur root access u need to flash custom kernel if u've unlocked bootloader! I suggest using Advance stock kernel v11 as it's more like stock kernel!

I had this phone from thailand. The bootloader was already unlocked and had a firware .73 of GB. I also had my root access back then. But today i downloaded the .76TW firmwire from Xda File server n flashboot it to my Xperia. The phone is running perfectly fine though i lost my root access but the bootloader is still unlocked. And yeah its still running GB 2.3.7 just with .76 firware with no root access anymore. Do i need to flash it again with KA Xperia prerooted TW .76 firmware? I dont wana use the ICS as one of my friend updated his Xperia S with ICS n now he cries every now and then .. Anywayz, Heres the screenshot with .76 firmware running GB 2.3.7

If you just want to root your stock .76 TW firmware, here is what i would do:
- download the advanced stock kernel (GB) by DooMLord
- connect the phone to pc via fastboot mode (i.e turn off and then connect the phone to pc via usb with vol. up key pressed)
- flash the advanced stock kernel using fastboot command
- switch on the phone an wait for some time
- then extract kernel.sin from the .76 ftf and flash it using flashtool or fastboot command.
If you follow these steps, then you should have a stock .76TW firmware with full root acess! good luck :good:!

Hi,

I guess many of you know this:
DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit v16
I read a lot by Google about ROOTING the Xperia P + Xperia SL too and i dont understand the thing with BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING:
1) Is there a chance that the Bootloader comes unlocked from manufacturer?
2) If it do comes LOCKED in each N' each model - by doing the ROOT it unlocking the bootloader?
3) And...if NOT by the Root procedure - How may i supposed to unlock it?
Thank you for your time!

1) Maybe some devices for devs could have unlocked bootloader. Not the one we actually buy
2)Root will not unlock the bootloader. Root will make you access all system and data files of your phone.
3)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159 Here is how you can unlock it
DaRk-L0rD
Thanks for your answer.
1. If i only want to be able to access all system file (root) and do replace the rom, I MUST UNLOCK IT?
What is the unlcoking thing gives?
2. Executing the ROOT will remove the ROM too?
3. I first have to make the ROOT and only afterwords UNLOCKING the device?
Thanks again!

1) You have to unlock the device only if you want to install roms like cm, muiu etc or in case you want to install a custom kernel. You don't have to unlock bootloader to root. There are also kernels that have autoroot scripts, that means, that after you unlock your bootloader you can install a custom kernel and have root without doing anything else.
2)No, it will not remove your rom. Otherwise will be useless mate
3)No. You can unlock bootloader but have stock firmware just as mom sony gave it to us.
4)Don't say thanks bro, hit the thanks button

Nope. You have to install cwm by yourself. To install cmw you must be rooted.
This is the cwm for xperia p: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020895&highlight=cwm. It's for ics but should work on jb too.
Instead of the CWM - i can just pass on it and install TWRP?
Or i won't able to flash the TWRP without a costum recovery (and that's why i need to first flash the cwm)?
The cwm is installed by connecting the device to PC (with usb debugging ) -> click on the install file.
This is the method?

Have no idea about TWRP mate. Can't help you on this.
As about cwm installation, yes that's the procedure. The procedure is the one you can find on the first post of the link i gave you.
Root and cwm are pretty simple to install (thanks to devs for making this possible) and very useful

If you have hebrew support for keyboard morelocale2 should be able rp change the interface to hebrew too.
I'm cirrently on The Dark ROM V2.5, and can use hebrew.
Make sure to backup you're original ROM or create the FTF file from PCC files.

Only one I know is DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit, yes you have to type 3 lines, realy not that difficult. You can copy them form the console window and paste the there (right click + mark, nark the command, press enter, then right click and paste).

I thnk you can only backup the formware after having root , haven't done it myself, I just use the FTF I have built from PCC files.
Thanks (;
But as there is 1-2 tool's that do it in 1 click without copy->paste ... i prefer them.
I found these that doing that in 1 click:
1) DooMLoRD
2) Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 more important thing - please look at the attached screenshot of the xperia driver.
During the installation - what do i have to chose in "i386"? (i have an Intel pc). **there is 3 dll files there**
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To sum up:
-root gives you access to the system files, which gives you the possibility to install apps that give you more privileges over your phone(cwm, ad blocks,etc...)! I used the doomlord method to root my XP.
-CWM: I installed CWM using recoveryx (Google it)!
-root & CWM: while having root access and CWM installed, you can flash some stock based roms(e.g. dark Rom, moonbreaker...)
-unlock bootloader: this option gives you the possibility to flash CUSTOM kernels(sliding, phantom...). A custom kernel provides you more governors, io schedulers, tweaks that extends your phone's battery life, performance,etc... keep in mind that after unlocking the bootloader you cannot have updates from mother Sony(as I've read, there are ways to relock your device but I don't know how).. but that's why we have xda also, with the bootloader unlocked, you can use the flashtool to flash stock firmware(in case something goes wrong)!
Right now, I have my bootloader unlocked using the sliding v9 kernel and Dark ROM v2.5....I am pretty satisfied because the battery life is slightly improved and the well known call lag seems to be fixed.
Hi hliasant,
Thanks so much for all the blessed info'!!
I just found out that i CANNOT use DooMLoRD method Bc's both of the devices on ICS.
B.T.W: it could be tha the SL is (only) on 4.0 ICS ?
Is there any tool that make the 3 procedures ("1 tool do all"...)?
Anyway, i dont want to move away from the thread topic...Is it o.k if i'll pm with you?
Thanks!
Feel free to pm me...
I'd recommend you update to latest firmware on your Xperia p, then do the rest jobs! I can only help you with your Xperia P as I ,too, have one
Concerning your SL, I have no clue about what you can do with it... :-\ you can either create another thread or search the forums!
Hi,
Just rooted the SL by using the DooMLoRD - this was so easy!
Maybe i'll wait for DooMLoRD version that will support the P 4.0.4 6.1.1B.1.54 too.
Why don't you update your Xperia p to 6.2.a.1.100 using the pc companion?

https://mega.co.nz/#!jFMX1bCS!d2kA1AezDnXK6g8ZWrXN2DnLkTExaj9un96P0Dge4nA
I think should work on C6802/6806 as well, maybe something disabled/or/enabled and not usable on the Mobile connection menu, related to LTE/4G band.....
I've tested with success a firmware for C6802 Taiwan (.510) on a European Z Ultra C6833 device. And was working flawless, so i guess this should work on any Ultra.
***I TAKE NO RESPONSABILITY, IF YOU DO NOT OWN A C6833 and flash this on a C6802/6 DO A YOUR OWN RISK.
and beside working, your device may be also recognized as a C6833 after a direct flash of this.
Please follow flashtool guide to flash FTF, and use last version:
Release 0.9.13.0
Available from the developer's site.
http://www.flashtool.net/
General disclaimer: Flashing without Sony Update is a method generally unsupported, and it may void the warranty. So do it on your own risk. If things go wrong, you may try the "repair my phone" option on Sony Pc Companion (PC) / Sony Mac Bridge (MAC). Also, users that do not hurry in updates, may just wait the proper release for their phones to be released into official Sony Xperia channels.
"Ultra"Quick guide on flashing with flashtool (Windows7):
1) Install Sony Pc Companion
2) Install Flashtool (C:Flashtool)
3) Connect your Xperia and check if is recognized by the system by drivers, ok? disconnect.
4) Download the firmware, and copy the .ftf file inside c:flashtool/firmwares
5) From C:Flashtool, run Flashtool.exe in Windows or Flashtool64.exe in Windows x64
6) Choose lightning icon, and choose FLASH
7) Choose the Firmware from the list
8) Wait the program tells is ready to flash
9) Turn off the device and wait 10 secs
10) SIMULTANEOUSLY: Micro usb connect + Volume down

dont think that .257 will be rootable so fast, will take some time.
Thanks mate, you could check CDA from about>>diagnose>>device fact and no need to root
Can you do a zip file as well?
CDA please. then i can help you download. my connection is way faster than yours
waveloom said:
Sure, i will let you know when i finished everything, also i dunno if i can still get to system prop without the root and the cheated CDA has been replaced with its original again.

You just need to try and root it through Vroot and check if that still works...

@ OP:
Did you actually check that FTF chemcup uploaded? he did say e was't sure if he did it right.
Did you try to flash it on your device?
Thanks,
Hi all, I tried to flash the version, it works excellent, for those who are not comfortable with the FTF, just change youe CDA to:1275-8026 R11A, you will receive the updates from PCC
Been trying the firmware..
All nasty bugs like phantom clicks, SOD, wifi messed, backlight seems to be gone.
General speed is above good!
I would say A+ for this firmware release.
Root with 257
I upgraded to 257 and now I can not rooting my ulrtra as I did before with Vroot. What can I do?

So here VROOT 1.7.1 for who want to try:
http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
Also Kingo may work as well.. even if it has been unofficalized from rooting methods due to a fishy acting on network, that may put some adware or similar.. so, use at your own risk, but i managed to root .532 without any flaw.

So... you guess that somone not enough confortable with FTF flashing, would be more confortable with root+root explorer+systemprop editing ?

Thank's for the instruction
Just one question, My phone boot-loader is locked and I want to keep my TA partition untouched, so I can use X-Reality in movies and so on.
With this method, can I root the phone (290) with locked bootloader and keep my TA partition untouched?
Reagards.
^^ no. Step 1 requires an unlocked bootloader.

Great job! Rooting works well. Can't seem to be able to unlock the device but this is beta so I will wait a little longer. Just keep me posted if you have any clue on why the unlocking part keeps saying that it failed because my device is already rooted when it is not.
Again here, I appreciate you sharing the tool with us.
will this work for the Google Play Edition?

Never, NEVER, flash something to a GPe from the normal C68xx range.
At best you will pull your hear out, at worst you will end up with a very expensive waterproof coaster. There have been 3 or 4 hard brick of the GPe from people flashing the wrong things to their GPe.
Files for the GPe will be labeled as such and will most often be in the GPe dev section
Great work
Tnx a lot!

So after Rooting go and make a TA Backup insteand!
wondering...
Hello there,
Where could I find a custom kernel or a custom recovery (I don't know the difference) for the 14.4.A.0.108 ?
I would like to install AOKP on my C6833 Please
it's ROOTED and UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER (DRM KEYS & TA PARTITION ALREADY BACKED UP)
thanks if someone could answer...
I'm searching and I can't find anything...
(I would like a complete tutorial where everything is well explained, I'm a noob in the XPERIA WORLD, I'm a Galaxy Note GT-N7000 veteran, it was such easy to mod)

I think you should be at least able to flash FTF file using Flashtool, just search in google for some time. I had also done such things many times, flashed different kernel, rom and other things and had bricked the phone, but always got back using flashtool.

For flashtool, you don't need to boot-up the phone. With power-off, just press Volume Up or down button (depending upon flash mode or fastboot mode) and then connect USB cable to PC (laptop). Flashtool should detect it. You may need to install ADB driver though.

To clear things up, before flashing this update of 5.1.1 my phone is ZU C6802 running 4.4.4 which is rooted LB and using latest dualrecovery. After flashed I reboot system from recovery and then my phone wont boot-up. It just dead, when pressing the power button it just vibrate.
Then I've tried to flash back to kitkat using flashtool and I cannot flash it. It said that I must enable usb debugging but how? I cannot boot my phone.

Can you see your phone in device manager? If yes, just go for update driver and select the ADB driver.
