please, i need update xperia sola italia gingerbread to new firmware and root it, but all link in forum are outdate and not working.
i need all necessary to update to ICS o JB m root it and CWM
now i have xperia sola italia with gingerbread all stock
I made copy of my post because old might be not visible since mod moved thread from android development.
Hi. Did you unlocked bootloader? If no, then:
1. Download PC Companion http://support.sonymobile.com/it/tools/pc-companion/ and open it, connect your sola to PC and update Android to 4.0.4 ICS
2. You must unlock bootloader. Go to http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/ scroll down site and select any phone because sola is not on the list. Then you will receive instructions to follow.
3. After unlocking bootloader you can root your phone and install CWM. It can be done by installing this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xper...ernel-t2075093 - all instructions how to do it are in this link.
After doing these instructions you will have what you want: ICS, root and CWM.
Good luck

hello guys i wana root my phone but i dont know which 1 to root with .

hey
i have an xperia x10A from rogers in canada. i had updated it using SEUS and then rooted it to the FW 23 rom. anyways the new easy method came out and i decided to root to the FW 26. it was very simple, just go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7490733#post7490733
and download the megaupload rar file that is headed as
Exploid Root for X10a (contains Generic R2BA026 X10a) (it is the first download in that post)
once u have that downloaded, unrar it into a folder and read the text file named IMPORTANT.txt
the instructions are pretty clear from that point, and when ur ready to run the 'RootX10a_v2.cmd' file, just right click it and run it as administrator. follow the instructions and u should have it rooted to the latest 26 rom.
NOTE that all ur stuff will be lost in this transition so back up whtever u can before u do it.
good luck hope i helped!

I have tried several of the root methods, all works, but this is the easiest one !
You dont have to worry about your phones device ID, java or anything else, just smile !
And to give a comment to the previous post, reflashing removes all your installed applications, but does not remove anything from your sdcard or SIM-card.
I recommend updating to 026 with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) and then root with the above method.
Hey guys im new in this forum,i have been trying to root my neo with the assistance of easy rooting without flashing( by the way my android version but on 2.3.4) but it always says failed and unable to copy superuser and other essential files i mean do i need to unlock bootloader in order to root?
Im realy sad plzz help this Out.
My recomendation is to unlock bootloader using testpoint method (if you're doing using SE official method,you'll void warranty) install CWM and then flash rootxperia.zip
Please use search function. This information is already published in this forum and there is no need of a new thread for same questions. Thanks
I just got an Xperia S, it's a great phone.
I had The Xperia X10 (unlocked bootloader, x10s rom doomkernel max overclock)
I want to unlock my bootloader but I cant get the drivers installed on mij X64 bit windows & pc.
I tried it for 2 day and read allod of posts here.
Can somebody please help me?
I'm Even Willing to PAY good money If someone helps me (of does it for me)
If someones willing please contact me and If you can do the unlocking (I live in Tilburg/the Netherlands) that would even be greater
download the flashtool its has drivers with it. or you can try to download and install pda.net
Ok, I have that, I tried to root and unlock it the same as I did with the x10 it didn't work. Do I have to flash anything in flashtool? Follow the official unlock method (from Sony) or do something els?
Thanks for anwsering so quick buddy!!
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I think you unlock x10 using something like easy 1 click similar stuff.
That method is not available with xperia s. As of now, the only way to root is to flash a pre root image. In order to do so, you need to unlock bootloader which also means, you will lose the DRM key.
You can get the full tutorial in the development section.
I know, I followed the instruction only to get stuck at step 13.
if I do this My PC says He couldn.t find any comparable drivers.
here is a screenshot, mayb someone can see where I did What incorrect?
everything worktoud wit an other link for the xperia arc files,
just flast doomlord's latest kernel, looking for wifi files and then I'm ready

updating to ICS on my rooted Sony Tablet S?[/QUOTE]
There is nno problem in updating ics on ur rootedd tablet but If you update your tablet to the officisl ics then there are chances tht you will lose your root
There is no way to root official ics
If you install custom pre rooted ics from condi aio tool then u have root for your tablet
Hope this clears your doubt
samyukta88.
thank you for the advice. can you recommend a rooted ICS rom i can use?
I imagine ICS shall be rooted soon?
