Any update on root for the GPe? I'm about to purchase and don't want to be necessarily locked out of root apps like Adaway.
Can't find any info on the forum either. I swore I read somewhere a guy had the GPe and had root but cannot find that thread. Does it exist? Do any of the devs even have this device?
Yeah, you can root it. Just follow the steps here. Jump down to "Rooting GPe".

Read that 1st.
Then use BTDAG's guide linked in my signature to find out how to install custom ROMs (as most have root enabled). Read the whole thing through, including the FAQ at the bottom, then start the process at the top,... and if you run into problems, ask here, or in that thread (BTDAG is very very helpful when ppl get lost).
thanks
tanks a lot mate
Has anyone written up a start to finish root how to for native root yet? One with finalized known good steps.
There is no chance atm for root except if you install Uruk or something like that.
So if you want root, go into dev forum, and follow the instructions there.

Yeah, I see all the posts, but the info is spread out. Wondering if its all been compiled into one post yet. I remember reading the How to run natively thread and that some steps had been deemed un-necessary.

Post 1 has detailed instructions. A bit of caution here is that prior Linux knowledge is required

I know linux. I was just wondering, because a single sticky helps newcomers and keeps info consolidated.
Hi, I will be getting this phone today (i9100 unlocked) and have a couple of questions on how to proceed onwards. Any help would be greatly appreciated
1. What is the best firmware and rooted kernel for me to go on?
I want the absolute simpilest way to root my phone (total beginner) and I don't know what firmware I will have when I receive it, I also don't know if I should stay on a gingerbread firmware or go to ics? I also don't care if it is official or custom as long as I'm not sacraficing stability. If possible I would like a rom that is good for battery life. I also want to root my phone in the safest way. There are so many tutorials I didn't know where to start
2. What are some of the essential rooted apps and how do you install them? Through superuser or market?
3. What are the risks involved with a standard flashing/root because I'm getting my phone second hand I don't have warranty.
Thanks for all your help!
Edit: I just say a sticky saying not to ask what roms are the best so I'm sorry if I broke a rule. I just literally have no idea where to start, I've never even used android before. I've found so many methods of rooting and roms but most seem outdated. I would just like someone to point me in the right direction of the up to date way. Sorry if I'm really not supposed to ask!

Superuser is not used to install apps, you would either download them from the market or manually install the .apks
3. What are the risks involved with a standard flashing/root because I'm getting my phone second hand I don't have warranty.

Rooting your phone would void the warranty anyway and bricking is probably your biggest risk.

Yes. There are dozens, if all you wanted me to do was provide a link to a more comprehensive guide, why don't you just learn how to use Google for yourself?

Most of these guides will contain everything you need to know to get started.

Believe me, I tried, but there are so many options, also, I've now decided to opt for a locked virgin i9100 bcause it was 50 bucks more for a new phone with the warranty, so what's the best way to unlock one? I think I recall a free app.
Like the Title said I want to know if this device:
Sony Xperia Z
Model: C6603
Android version: 4.3
Build-Number: 10.4.1.B.0.101
bootloader unlock allowed no
Is this thing rootable?
If it is rootable is there any Guide to root it? ( if possible please a link? )

There's a whole forum for your phone there. If you have time, do some reading. There are lots of cool things to do. If you plan on modding your phone more than just rooting it, you should get familiar with how to use the Flash Tool. There's a Sticky in the Development forum for your phone about it.

The simplest way for me, is if you read the stickies and the current threads.
@adfurgerson has give a really good run down in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/help/device-to-t2915726 thread

The only reason I stepped up in that thread is the root guide that is stickied is out of date after OP being banished. Hate to see anyone downgrading to root and all when it isn't needed.

I don't think it says to down grade does it? I'll have to re-read it.
Edit: Well it sort of does, but the next paragraph says that it is no longer needed...
We will need a new one when L comes along...
