So I've been working on trying to get my phone rooted for a while and finally got it working after a few threads and trial and error so i thought i'd share my findings.
So to root your E2306 (Xperia m4 aqua) you will need:
Stock rom: https://userscloud.com/vaqpt1y0xdnu
Rootkit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/edse0h6b02odzn1/rootkitXperia_E23xx.zip?dl=0
Adb: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0MKgCbUM0itNVB1elljU2NPR0k
Flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
And Finally Twrp installer (If you want a custom bootloader): https://www.dropbox.com/s/yomdwq3p2le9hvi/M4Aqua-lockedTWRP-0.1-installer.zip?dl=0
1. Go download all of the items listed.
2. Install ADB using Installer.
3. Install Flashtool.
4. Run flashtool and click devices then check drivers and make sure your phone shows up.
5. You will need to install phone drivers using flashtool, go to C:\Flashtool\drivers and run Flashtool-drivers.exe
6. Check "Flashmode Drivers" and "Fastboot Drivers" then click install. If a red warning or something shows up saying drivers not safe click install anyway.
7. Now check drivers again and your device should show up.
8. Next copy E2306_26.1.A.1.112_Latin America Generic[WwW.SonyROMS.iR].FTF to C:\Users\(YourUsername)\.flashTool\firmwares
9. Now go to flashtool and click the lightning strike called "Flash Device".
10. Chose "Flashmode" and click "OK".
11. Setup as shown and click flash.

}
(APPS_LOG and USERDATA)
12. The log will say preparing files for a bit then a window will open up saying to turn off device and plug it back in. Turn off your phone then hold the volume down while plugging the micro usb back in.
13. The LED will go green showing that its in flashmode, the device should then flash the new rom.
14. Once done disconnect usb and reboot, the boot may take a while 5-10 min.
15. Once booted go to Settings -> About Phone -> then click the build number until you unlock developer mode.
16. Go into developer options and enable "USB Debugging".
17. Plug the phone back in and extract "rootkitXperia_E23xx".
18. Now Copy "files", "src" and "install.bat" into C:\adb.
19. Run install.bat as normal (Not admin) and a box will pop up on your phone asking to trust pc. Do trust pc and let the install.bat continue.
20. The install will say invalid socket, rebooting to avoid crash. Let the phone reboot while staying connected to pc.
21. The phone should boot and the install will finish.
22. You should now have root.
Guide for Custom Recovery (DO ROOT FIRST)
1. Remove "files", "src" and "install.bat" from the ADB folder.
2. Copy the "files", "src" and "install.bat from "M4Aqua-lockedTWRP-0.1-installer" into C:\adb
3. Run install.bat and it will ask for root on phone, grant it root and it should install.
4. To boot into recovery shut down phone and power it on. The phone will show a blue LED at the sony logo. Click volume down and it will show a Purple LED and boot into TWRP.
Warning: DO NOT REBOOT INTO RECOVERY USING "Reboot into recovery/ Reboot Recovery" IT DON'T WORK.

The root disables updates. If you update it removes root.

But I downgraded from E2363 to E2333 can't I get back???
Those are two different models of phone. If you are rooting a E2363 then you need a Rom for that. Check your about phone. Does it say what model you have?
I used to have E2363 but I downgraded to E2333 and rooted using roottoolkit
That's the actual phone model? There's a piece of paper in the sdcard spot. Pull it out and look for the model number there.
the image is not showing in the tutorial
Thanks mate!
Everyone who has another type of M4 Aqua can do this too!
Just use an old firmware for your device (in my case E2303).
I used 26.A.2.128 and followed every step.
Thanks @boho555 !!! :good:

Try this firmware https://userscloud.com/p4m0v8k4czmf
Also "ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device" this means you don't have the drivers installed. Check C:\Flashtool\drivers and run flashtool drivers.exe
Then choose "Flashmode" and "Fastboot" drivers then install.

Alright, the firmware your downloading is the only one that will work for your device. However that error seems driver related. Try installing drivers off your phone. (Settings->XperiaConectivity->UsbSettings then switch on "Install software". Then plug the phone in and check the notification bar for a notification to install software.)
Firmware link?
I've been tring to get this to work on my E2306 with no joy for several days now. I'm getting bootloops after flashing the firmware from original post.
I have also downloaded it from two other sources and would always get to the same result.
By the way, it would show in Flashtool when you select the file as being buit for the D2306 (not E2306) !!
So would anyone have another link for the firmware *A.1.112 for E2306 ???

Hello,
I tried rooting my phone with the instructions you've provided. They all goes well! But after the last step I start my phone it has all software that are included in the full Kernel... But Superuser app is missing and I cannot open any application that requires root access, they all say Device is not rooted. Any idea what could be going wrong?

Link2SD
Hello,
Does anyone here use Link2SD with their rooted xperia pro's (rooted with this guide
and with this built)? I'm asking because I have this phone and obviously followed
the above guide which worked perfectly btw but I'm getting weird problems with
Link2SD and I wondered if it might be a consequence of the kerneltrick applied here?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Usui218
Hey, if you already had a rooted phone with another kernel version, do you have to do all the rooting procedure again, or do you simply flash the new kernel?
Thanks

Hi XDA.
I've been searching and searching for the answer on XDA and other websites and can't quite find the answer i need.
I'm on GB 2.3.4.42 with root and CWM Recovery installed (with a few backups made on the SD Card with a locked bl)
I have checked my phone and I have a locked bootloader which cannot be unlocked (as far as i know?) And I was wondering if it is possible that flashing the stock ICS would work even if my bootloader is locked?
If I could also have a little help on how I would do this that would be fantastic.
Thank you again for taking your time to help me out. Such a noob lol.
Edit:
Added log when I try to flash:

Take care guys and thanks a lot for your help.

Try with Sony Mobile Update Serivice before (normal update), full factory restore. Why using flashtool to update?
If with flashtool:
Try again, re download firmware .587 from THIS (why previous .431 if you are flashing?)full charge, disable antivirus or firewall.
Select all wipes, no excludes, check "no final verification".
Enable usb debug on the phone and then shut it off. Connect it (when power off connect it while long pressing "back button") to the pc following flashtool points.
BTW are you really saying that you couldn't find any answer to "Can I update to ICS still I am with locked bootloader?" Maybe you didn't search too much, beacuse it is quite known by all that locked bootloader means that you can flash only original signed Sony firmware.
In fact you had not to worry about bootloader, if you didn't know anything about it and you didn't touch it :good:
So, in final, do you know what are you doing, before messing up something?

Thanks for your help so far guys, I do know what I'm doing generally but when I go to flash now i've encountered another problem:
When I put debug on, put it into msc and then reboot the phone ready for flash I get this error and the whole thing aborts. This happens with Sony Companion (when I tried the .62 update) and SUS - which meant i couldn't get past the 3rd page :C
Any idea what the problem is?

Does this happen with other usb devices..or only with the phone???
If it happens with all devices..then restart pc..happened to me once..restarting solved it..
If its only with the phone..then reinstall ADB DRIVERS.. Goto Flashtool >drivers and click on Flashtool-drivers.exe
Just try again It will work

Apreicate your help.
When I go to reinstall the Drivers I forgot to mention this and didn't really think anything of it, I get this error:
The phone also doesn't appear in my driver manager either =/
The error I get:
Also showing my phone connected to my pc:
I have absolutely no clue where to go from here :c
+Xperia > Connect > MSC
+Developer Options > USB Debugging on
+Security > Unknown Resources
+Install Drivers : Flashmode // ADB Neo drivers
+Make Sony PC Companion recognize your phone.After it recognizes..close it.
+If your system is 32 bit , open flashtool.exe if it is 64 bit , open flashtool64.exe .
+Sometimes windows install drivers for your phone.Wait until it finish.
+And don't forget.Don't open Flashtool - doom or other root / boot stuffs together.ADB servers will be out of date.So just open flashtool.
+If you have a antivurs, close it.
+If there is another program which can delete files automatically..you should close it too!
+Be fast when you are trying to make phone enter flashmode.Don't wait much.
+When you try to install drivers, installer will open.And it will ask you for your permission.Just accept all of them.
Don't forget wipe data / cache..and be sure that .ftf is right.
I hope you will make it
Is that Windows8??....then the best option would be to use a Win7 pc..but if u dont have one rite now..
In your device manager..goto Sony saXXXX..update ADB interface driver software..if that doesnt work then..
uninstall driver..disconnect usb..unselect USB debuggin..reselect it and plug in the usb..let windows install drivers..
Thanks so much guys for your help!
I've just changed from the USB2.0 port to a 3.0 and the S1Boot driver suddenly installed and now flashing! I'll edit this when its finished flashing!

hmm..it should say flashing finished almost instantaneously..at this point..
Did u follow the steps mentioned in my guide perfectly??? wipe data, cache, apps log before flashing??
If you look at the middle you Will see "not rootable", so probably you've done something wrong.
Why did you use S1 driver?
Anyway uninstall flashtool, then open update service and follow it to the end. This should make you connect the phone in flashmode and the driver Will be installed automatically if connected to the net.
...and you Will install ics.
Again use flashtool only if Update Service is not helping you in order to get what you want.

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, been busy.
Anyways, I stopped the flash while it was in progress which "bricked" it. So I used SEUS to restore it and then used your instructions to reflash it again. Worked flawlessly the second time! Thank you so much everyone for your help! :good:

It's a common problem in stock 2.3.7 Gingerbread. I had it too. Simply update to Android 4.0.4 (6.1.1.B.1.100) firmware using Flashtools and this problem will be solved.
Hit Thanks if I helped =D
@ABU JHL
Can you connect in fastboot mode?
Turn it off first then try.
Don't rush to update to ICS you might regret you did later.

Mass storage when it is off? Is yhat normal or feature of GB? Mine not showing on PC when it's off.
Try this, turn the phone off, press volume up and connect to the PC, then try the same with volume down. In one the lerd should turn blue and the other green, not sure which is which in xperia u.
It would be good if you download flashtool before you try this and open it while you try and copy and post the log in the window.
Also install drivers located in flashtool directory in "drivers", you need to install 3 drivers for XPU and flash and fasboot mode drivers at the bottom of the list.

Have you tried more than once, both modes?
What windows version you have?
And do not attempt to do anything with flashtool yet, just leave it open when you connect the device, log level info.

No no need to unlock bootloader, let me try something with my phone before I can tell you what you may try.

Please try the flash mode for more then a second.
We need to make sure it stay in this mode for about 45 seconds before it disconnets.
And fastboot should also stay on for more than just few seconds.

How do you mean lost everything?
Can you boot amd use the device now?
Upgrading to ICS is up to you.I don't have XU but from what I read in the forum it lags and has lots of problems, so if you are happy with your device I'd advise against upgrading.
As you know bootloader deletes all apps and contacts et.. Reset factory settings , and thanks for advice ! , I juwat want to root it , I downloaded a tft file from flashtool website , but idk what to do with it any help to root? MY build is .188 not .184

Maybe the root for 184 will work.
For some new versions of ICS downgrading the kernel to the version that is rooted make it possible to root newer versions, you can try that but make sure you have the original firmware and or kernel to revert to before you attenpt something like that, or rooting at all.

unlocking the bootloader doesn't wipe anything. I've unlocked 4 on different Xperia's and never lost apps and data

don't use flashtool for bootloader unlock.
download -
https://app.box.com/s/sxi55t3fci4iodx9oh8c
and follow the guide on here -
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
then make sure you have extract the fastboot usb file (you should have for unlock) go to the fastboot folder and put a boot.img in it. go back out a level and right click on the fastboot folder icon and choose open command window here.
then power the phone off.
hold volume up and connect to the pc.
type - fastboot devices
and it should reply something (can't remember what)
then type - fastboot flash boot boot.img
it should go through a quick little process and say completed in a few seconds?

My Xperia x10 boots, but get's stuck at the Xperia logo...then just sits there until the battery dies. It doesn't charge once it gets to this point apparently. I can get to recovery, but that's it. I cannot get this into Flash Mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm just trying to get this back to a usable state (that charges).
The weird thing is once the phones has enough of a charge to boot, it automatically boots, then gets stuck at the logo again, then dies dies again. I can at least get it into recovery, but no indicator about battery level and if it's charging.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, all I'm really looking to do is turn this into a media player with wifi.
EDIT: when trying to get into flash mode (so I can use the Flashtool), I get the following error:

I cannot get the phone to register with my computer or my wife's. Windows keeps saying the USB device is damaged or unreadable. When in recovery I try to mount and it's successful, but it won't let me actually transfer files onto the phone.

Yes bro, me too. I'm saving for a new phone... :/
Alternate idea
Hi Syn,
I am experiencing likely problems at the moment, but have found one strange 'solution':
I am unable to flash a current kernel with nearly the same errors.
BUT I can successfully flash my 'old' stock rom and restart from there.
Strange thing is that the same flashtool works with the stock rom but cannot find the phone with a current kernel.
Wish you luck,
Alexej
