[Q] I cant be root user in xperia neo 4.0.2.A.0.69 - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I can't be root in Xperia neo 4.0.2.A.0.69 after update the software truth the Pc Companion... Before that,i was root...but now no.
Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No
I can't do anything to be root????
Please,Help Me Developers. I don't know what to do... Thanks.

The only thing you can do is to go back to firmware .42, root it here and update then OTA to .69
that's (as far as I know) the only way to root a .62 or .69 xperia.
the only problem is that Multiupload is dead. so the .42 firmware file is not available at the moment.
That's why I keep at firmware 58.

before updating, it had root, now after the update root is gone.

Go to Xperia Neo thread. You can find all the info there.

[Q] st18i xperia ray 2.3.4 4.0.2.a.0.62 root

Sorry but I can't find out what to do.
I want to remove about 10-15 apps from my xperia ray like tetris demo, trial wise pilot, or even more uselessapps like facebook, trackid, or sync(as sync is not working anyway).
So in fact, all I want is to remove all the irrelevant apps from the system.
Problem is:
I get confused searching the site. (ST18i/ .368 or .62/2.3.3 or 2.3.4; I couldn't figure out what to do. Bootloader unlock via official site was no problem; but then what?)
So I do not want a complete empty system, I just want to remove some apps which should not be locked in the . Do I need a full root, or is there a simple way?
Can anyone help me?
Hi, I'm not a dev and I'm new to android too, so maybe someone have to confirm what I say.
You don't have to unlock your bootloader to remove bloatware, just root it.
I think that there's no way to root .62 firmware (at least for now). You have to downgrade to .42 (using Wotan Server, for exemple) and root your mobile with Zergrush method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350), when root is done you can upgrade to .62 firmware OTA that will keep your phone rooted.
That's what I did when I reinstalled .62 FW in my X Ray with SEUS after a bootloop problem.
Inform steps

[Q] Rooting Sony Xperia Miro

Hi all,
I have tried to root my new Sony Xperia Miro (Vodafone UK). I have Android SDK and Superoneclick. Superoneclick gets stuck on "waiting for device" when I launch the rooting process (I have unmounted my SD). I have trawled Google, but I haven't found anything that helps.
The phone isn't listed on XDA, I assume, because it's hot off the press. Any advice would be appreciated.
Sincerely, Noob.

Do you need an unlocked bootloader for this?
Nope, at least, I hadn't. I pulled my Miro out of the box, set up the device with my Google account, and started the script. The first three times it failed, but the fourth time it worked. I suppose I didn't unlock the bootloader in the process.
I'll also try to see if I can. :cyclops:
King regards,
Jorge
I ran version 11 and got the first!!
Excellent!!
Many thanks to the developers!!
root miro
root didn't work on new firmware on miro :crying:
Sony repaired bug and now this tool dont work ..
You need to revert back to firmware 11.0.A.2.10 in order to root. I had my miro updated
to 11.0.A.5.5 but I was unable to root it. I reverted back to 11.0.A.2.10 (using flashtool
and ST23i_11.0.A.2.10_CentralEurope.ftf) and then I rooted it easily with "Root_with_Restore
_by_Bin4ry_v18".
If you are not planning on installing a custom rom, just flash it with a clear OEM 11.0.A.5.5
firmware so as to get rid of all the crap that came with your phone.

[Share] Root Xperia Tab Z LB/UB

Hey Guys,
i would like to share a new app with you. It´s called Towelroot. It roots your Device instantly.
Just go to http://towelroot.com and click on the lambda. Install it and click make it rain.
It Works!! No need for Recovery or anything else. Locked Bootloader AND Unlocked Bootloader.
My Tab Z runs the latest 4.4.2 so it works with the latest firmware.
Geohot (creator of towel root) says that it roots nearly every device. So keep on sharing.
Below i have two Screenshots for evidence.

wow!
I just can't believe!
It worked on jb4.3
Yes and also worked with my Tablet Z SGP351 4.4.2 stock Rom now Rooted
Worked for me too! I'd been planning on getting root with multiples flashes and manipulations for months but I kept postponing it... and now that 1-click hack took just a few minutes!
I've gone crazy with Xposed Modules and root apps that I'd wanted to use for ages. Next up will be finding out how to install a custom recovery; I'm used to flashing unlocked devices...
Works perfectly.. I recommend to use Superuser as su app after using this root app.
Great Stuff!
Hey it Worked! Now what's next Custom ROM?
Tablet Z SGP321 4.2.2 10.5.A.0.230
Thank-You works great ( XTZ 312 upgraded KitKat v4.4.2 via Flashtool v0.9.16.0)
If I root using this, will it void warranty?
I bought the LTE version tablet 2 weeks ago and don't want to lose warranty so soon..so, if I root using this Towelroot method, do I lose warranty as well? And I will still get/use official OTA from Sony?
If I need to, for some reason, can I un-root the tablet again and go to complete stock?
Pardon my limited knowledge, a n00b here.

I know that you loose Warranty when you unlock your bootloader. But only rooting it, is kinda difficult. I dont know exactly how the towelroot root affects the sony firmware. Maybe it wont void your warranty but maybe it will. I cant say it 100% but if you want to stay safe with your Tablet dont Root it. If you need and use what sony´s offering, keep using it without root.

[Q] Sony Xperia Z3 Root

Hey devs I really need your help to root my Sony Xperia Z3 (D6653) I've been googling for days and cannot find a single thread or YT Vid on what to do, I've rooted multiple phones before without any problem but it's seemingly more difficult on Xperia devices. I am currently running the firmware version "23.0.1.A.5.77" on 4.4.4 KitKat and from what I've gathered that version isn't supported but needs to be downgraded to "#.#.#.A.#.93" then re-upgraded to .77
I've heard about how rooting Z3's will result in losing DRM keys, now I am not sure what that means or how I'm meant to back it up so that I don't lose camera quality, that's the last thing I want! I've also read about these elusive .ftf files that I need to somehow flash to my Z3 but I can't find anywhere to download said files. I have downloaded FlashTools, AndroidTools, Giefroot and XperiaFirm but there are no adequate walkthroughs that help me with my specific version of phone. I know it's mainly because my phone has a bootlocker but I do know that it is unlockable so at least I got that going for me :good: I have however seen the video by WWJoshDew for rooting Z3 and he seems to fix his locked bootloader but he doesn't give enough information as to how. I really need a proper guide/walthrough on how to root my Xperia Z3 D6653 on .77
any help is appreciated!

Should I root and unlock the BL?

Hey there!
I replaced my Xperia Z2 with the Z5. Both are running Android 6.0.1 at the moment and I used to root all my devices and install xposed framework, a recovery and I always unlock the bootloader in order to have access to custom kernels etc. I did that on my Z2 because Android M is the final version. However, the Z5 will recieve the Android N Update, I have already heard that the beta has started. Should I wait for the official update and then root and so on? Obviously I will have to install a recovery on marshmallow before I can flash a prerooted Android N zip...
Budy that's totally upto you. I'm Seafarer and was not having access to all these things, but the day I came home, the first thing I did with my device was unlocking it's bootloader and root it. Because you are going to get Android N update anyway and you'll be able to root that too.
So just go ahead with what you need right now and you think is right.
Regards.
