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:

Could this be risky? Can my phone in such condition end up getting bricked?
Thanks!
That way is OK.

Hi, so I see that ISC is now available for this tablet. I have my sony tablet s rooted. would upgrading from the tablet kills the root? if so, how do I upgrade while keeping my tablet rooted?
i think so but just to be sure just wait till someone on here got the rooted version of ICS so you can be certain!
You can download ICS and root via Condi's AIO v2.7 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515720
Good luck,
I am stuck with kernal10 for now.
I recently updated my st15i to the official ICS, and at the start was very pleased with it. But then I played a game of Tank Hero, and there was lag, I started up my office suite pro and the option to put it on full screen is gone - I cant see anything while typing. Im not pleased at all because this is one of the main futures I use on my phone besides talking and music. So I want to revert back to the official gingerbread. Is there a way to do so without rooting and unlocking bootloader (to keep warranty intact) ?

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)
So i've recently discovered this wonderful website and hoping that it can breath some new life into my xperia P. But i'm a bit stuck at the moment, currently my phone is contracted with o2 (i'm not worried about voiding the warranty) and is running JellyBean 4.1.2, Build 6.2.A.1.100. I want to install something new preferably KiKat, now i've been following the xperia P Starters Guide i've managed to root it and i've installed CWM but i'm stuck at the unlocking bootloader stage and i think i already know the answer, my bootloader status is set to no which i'm guessing means i'm stuck?
Would installing a stock xperia p firmware make it so i can unlock the bootloader?
Do you have to have bootloader unlocked to run KitKat or anything else?
Unfortunately, currently there's no possibility to unlock such devices, same case as me
Well thats lame.
Hello I have an xperia tablet z SGP321 which is currently on android 4.4.2. But it's very buggy atm, and I would like to install a rom on it like omni rom or cm11. But in order to do this I have to root the device, and I would like to know how to root this? Am I able to root it currently or is it not possible atm due to the new software (4.4.2)? I have also tried unlocking the bootloader using the instructions on sony's website and other instructions by other people but they all failed. I know for a fact I did them all correctly and it just didint work. Is this because its not currently possible on android 4.4.2 on this device? Thank you in advance.

If you insist on installing something like cm11 you will have to unlock your bootloader before anything else. It is not clear what you mean when you say they all failed or it just didn't work. Did you follow sony's official guide? And by the way, it's better to make a back up of your ta partition before unlocking in case you want to ever revert it.
Have a look here. That worked for me to root my 4.4.2 device:

You have to do a downgrade to 4.1 before. But thats all in the root instruction.
Thank you for your help, but I found out how to unlock bootloader and install cm 10.2.1 on my tablet already. I followed instructions from a youtube video. It was quite different from the instructions on sonys unlock bootloader guide. I didn't have to downgrade either it worked with 4.4.2 .
