[Q] Rooting Xperia Mini Pro sk17a? - General Questions and Answers

Hi everyone, I'm new in here. I'm about to buy a SE Xperia Mini Pro, I just love that phone and Android, of course. I've been reading a lot about rooting and ROMs, so I think I'm pretty informed. Since I saw that CyanogenMod is available for the Xperia line, I'm totally decided to get my Xperia Mini Pro and install it. I just have a question: The rooting tutorial works only for the Xperia Pro sk17i or also for the sk17a? I just want to be sure, since in my country I can only get the American version on the phone, not the European. I hope that someone can answer me. Thanks a lot.

The answer is yes. Rooting sk17a is exactly same as sk17i. Follow the instructions in here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16659481&postcount=33

Debranding is easy just difficult when you're flashing the new firmware. Make sure you're following the instructions in the thread and its almost guaranteed to work for you too

Once you have suceeded in debranding and rooting the phone, you can use Titanium backup to uninstall all SE junk.

Rooting Xperia L 4.2.2

Hi community, I have flashed Android 4.2.2 Generic World FTF using Flashtool to my Xperia L C2105, now I want to root it, but I don't know, how to do it. I have found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307983 and there is reference to thread with 4.2.2 root, but I can't go on this webpage, there is some error.
Can somebody give me some tutorial how to root XL working on Android 4.2.2, or explain me?
I have also found Motochopper method, somebody told me that it is right way to root my phone, but I'm not sure because I have read somewhere that Motochopper works only on some Motorola devices.
Maybe I will sell my phone in 3-4 months so I'll need a warranty back, so there should be a way to unroot the phone.
Sorry for my english
Thanks for help, greetings.
The methods that exist to root 4.2.2 firmware on Xperia L are considered unsafe :-/ Therefore the page was removed by xda's mods
And the motochopper method you read about was meant for android 4.1
To unroot you can always restore your device to original firmware, using pc companion, Sony Update Service or flashtool
Ok, thanks. When you say, that root on 4.2.2 is unsafe, do you mean that I won't be able to flash soft back at all? But does some method to root 4.2.2 exists?

Unsafe means those software are suspected to be malicious, more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46246819&postcount=1
Okay, thanks. Someone can close the thread, nvm, I'll wait till there will appear some safe and working way to root.
Thank you all.

You can try this method...root 4.2
Rooting using Kingoroot and vroot is risky.. It and IMEI number of your device to their server in China.. And we don't know what it does.. So be careful and don't use these 2 methods

Ok it was like this...I have found how to root my phone on a completely safe way. That method is called Kingo Android root. You have to download that software and install it on your comp. once when you connect your phone Kingo Android Root will find and install everything that you need to root your phone. Hope it will work.

That is pretty ****ty man. I have assumed that your phone will be supported. Unfortunately I dont know any method that will work, but you can try with some pre-rooted rom and flesh that. My first thought 'd be cyanogenmod but I dont know if your phone is supported or not. You can check that and seek for much info in this link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Main_Page

I have not this device but a search came with some useful information here: ALL IN ONE THREAD[Updated 12/3/13]Read me first!.
In the second post of the thread above you will find two interesting parts for you:
-Root Including rooting on JB DIRECTLY
-Unlock/Relock Bootloader
About the risk to "brick" your device, you will find information here: [GUIDE] Recover 2012 and newer XPERIAs from SOFT-brick.
Take your time and read closely, good luck!
