Good day,
I followed the steps in munjeni's guide to root my Xperia Go 6.2.A.0.400 at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250695
It all worked fine and all, but I am experiencing some inconcistancy regarding the cpu frequency (unexpected jumps into overclock, which kills the battery).
I just saw that there is another update with a easy root for Build: 6.2.A.1.100 provided by DooMlord http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336242
So to my question: What is the easiest way for me to update my phone into 6.2.A.1.100 and root the phone? I am guessing that a OTA update will fail and I do not feel like having a bricked phone in the end.
All help is much appreciated. =)
(also sorry if this is a possible double post, but I could not find anything)

Hi is there a guide for rooting my phone ST27A i got stock GB and got the tft for ICS for the st27i
Stock GB 2.3.7
Build 6.0.B.3.191
ICS 4.0.4
Build 6.1.1.B.1.10
base band ver
u8500-49020905-P2H_EC01
Is there a way to get root on the GB?
Is there a way to preserve the band for ICS?
Thanx a lot for reading.
A small script which is able to root ICS/JB phones. It uses a remount timing issue in Androids "adb restore" service.
So normally it should work on nearly all ICS/JB devices, for some it won't but the idea may work in a slightly modded version
There is a case for Xperia Go and Xperia T,S,P etc. phones, this phones run ICS but don't have android's native restore with adb, Sony has added a own custom "Backup&Restore" app, the script handles this cases too, just choose the correct option!
How-To:
1.) Download attached file.
2.) Extract it using 7zip
3.) Double click the RunMe.bat and follow instructions!
Xperia phones = Normal mode
Sony Tablet and similar = Special mode

hi, i know this will not help with your question, but i got a question for you and hope you really can help me x3, i have the xperia go (st27A) and updated to ics for the st27i (note the i), the only diference is between the 3g freq (or at least thats what i've heard), i want to go back to GB but for the st27A, by any chance are you willing to share your stock GB firmware with me pls? if so please send me a link to download it or anything, thank you
I'm catching an error when trying to root my Xperia go. I've followed all the steps in the above tutorial and even when trying to root through cmd, after I select '1' for normal device I get an error saying 'unable to restore intent etc, etc. Any thoughts on what's causing this prob?
Hi all!
I'm just new to xda and android and liked to do a nandroid backup.
So I read about it and find out, that there isn't any way to do so, without install/flashing/? a Custom Recovery, such like ClockworkMod Recovery, is it?.
So I get ROM Manager from GPlay Store, but it didn't find my phone. Then I downloaded RecoverX from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227) and run it. But this needs root. I think, there isn't any way to use ClockworkMod Recovery without having root, is it?
I try to get root, reading here in that great forum, but it seems, there isn't any way to root my SE Xperia Pro, because it has a Build-Number 4.0.2.A.0.69, and you can only root *.42. There it says, you can flash that firmware, using flashtool (http://flashtool.net). I found a *.42 firmware here: http://dexxmor.de.to/.
So here my main question: After I flashed that firmware and root my phone, how to upgrade to the x.69 one? They all say, that this will be done by "OTA". But my Phone has GB and could have ICS (I didn't upgrade). So when I do so, after that, I would have ICS, right?
Sorry for that n00b question and my bad english
Thanks
PS: Sorry, if i posted in a wrong forum. I didn't found a Pro/Sony General one.

What you are looking for by asking for an update is just making your phone ram hungrier. It would make no use upgrading. Also, after upgrading, by default the root and its advantages will be lost. So it is better to simply keep downgraded, rooted and to mod your phone rather than upgrade it.
Happy to help
Thank you for your fast reply.
You make me unsure, because I always read to upgrade after rooting, but this doesn't make sence of course, if root will be lost.
A last question: What happens, if I won't mod my phone? What happens if I stay with that older firmware?
Kind regards
Hello there,
I've been using official 4.1.2 JB on my Xperia GO and I'm deciding about going back to gingerbread. However, I got my phone rooted with DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit and am wondering if I can follow these steps on this site:
http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/22-sony-xperia-go-st27
Could this be risky? Can my phone in such condition end up getting bricked?
Thanks!
That way is OK.
Hello and sorry if I'm putting this in the wrong place thou had a quick question
Will this work?
Currently I'm on 5.1.1 23.4.a.1.232 xperia z2 d6503 100% stock
Can I simply downgrade to 4.4.4 then upgrade to a pre-rooted 5.1.1 fw?
With flashtool
Any thoughts about this? I've have been thinking about trying this for a few days now and I'm really itching to try it.
EDIT:
And I found this just after I posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/how-to-root-sony-xperia-z2-5-1-1-23-4-1-t3238346
Thou all those hundreds of Google hits I went through I did not stumble upon that one.

Hi Ya'll and Happy New Year,
I need some help in rooting my Z C833. Before I tell you my ordeal here is the system details:
OS 5.1.1
Build 14.6.A.1.236
Bootloader: Unlocked via sony
Now i am not a advanced user when it comes to android stuff, I am still learning. All the talks and guides about rolling back and going to kitkat and flashing and recovering TA partion is kinda making me confused. I have seen many guides, i tried to roll back via flashtools, use king root to acheive root, install dual recovery then flash super user. This is the extent of my knowledge.
When i try to either ftf a pre rooted file to a 5.0.x fw i LOSE ROOT, every single time. Can someone help me out. What am i doing wrong?
For example I roll backed to (C6833_14.5.A.0.270_Customized_HK) installed King root, pushed (ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined) flashed (BETA-SuperSU-v2.49) and then went back to flashtools to ftf (C6833_14.6.A.0.368_Generic Telenor Norway) and i LOSE ROOT (ahhhhhhhhh):silly:
If there is no option for me to update to stock rooted rom, can i install a custom rom with a update fw?
Ideally, stock or custom, i just want to utilize the sound and screen mods on this forum for the z ultra, for that i need custom recovery, for that i need root :S
I know the answer might be very simple, but like i said i m out of ideas.................
Thanks in advance for your help.
anyone???
Flash kitkat ftf, root, flash pre rooted 5.1.1
