how can I root my sony live walkman... I can not find a way to root kernel .62

I presume it's the same method as the arc. Use flashtool and flash .42 firmware, then ota upgrade and you should retain root. (This is if your bootloader is locked, obviously if it's unlocked you would have root). Check on the play forum anyway.

Does have any of you some method (i mean program) how to root Xperia J JB 4.1.2 firmaware 11.2.A.0.21 BUT WITHOUT flashing and unlocking bootloader? Something like UnlockRoot, Root with Restore by Bin4ry v25 or Super One Click. Note: these three do not work!!!

+1 for that! I would like this also. My bootloader cannot be unlocked, and I really don't want to go through the all-process of downgrading to ICS, rooting, updating via OTA, flashing etc.
Is this working ?
Just a clean install of 11.0.A.7.5 firmware --> root with unlockroot --> (only) OTA upgrade to 11.2.A.0.21.
This way you'll have JB rooted!

I don't know how can you do that just like that? I root ICS when there was latest update 11.0a.7.5 and one day i reflash ftf file because I delete some important system apps,after that my phone was unrooted
Anyway I have rooted JB!

It does work. Kolos mentioned it on another thread and I tried it and it worked. Much less hassle this way

But how to downgrade? Do you have manual? Because every manula I found requires unlocking bootloader and I can´t do that because service menu says NO. I´m just looking for some once-click utility...

Downgrade
Does someone have a tutorial to downgrade to ics again?
to be deleded.
Do you have ics firmware ? Than you can flash it via flashtool...
You can search xda for ftf's and flashtool...

Hello! I downgrade my android to older version to get root access. Now I try to update firmware to Jelly Bean(11.2.A.0.31) but my phone says "Couldn't install", also I tried to update with PC Companion. How can I upgrade my android to latest Jelly Bean and keep root access?
Here's what I did- downgraded to Ics, rooted with unlock root and then just updated OTA to jelly bean .31 firmware. And this way I have root and the latest version of android available. try it, you won't loose the root

Ok, thanks, but I already know that.
I have unlocked bootloader, I can't use OTA or SUS or PC Companion.
Then lock the bl first. Then flash stock ics and then do the ota.
Sent from my ST23i
You can't update via OTA if you have unlocked BL and did any changes to your phone system (besides root OFC) like deleting system apps and installing mods.

Hi. Search custom ROM for Sony Xperia E C1505. I have phone without unlock bootloader. My mobile operator lock bl. Thanks for help
Currently there are no roms buddy
Don't worry cuz I use stock jellybean
Its far better
Sent from my C1604 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the reply. Are custom rom with J will fit into E? And the second question is whether to install the official rom that need to have unlocked bootloader or not ?
To install official Rom via pc companion , you will need a locked bootloader otherwise you will brick your device
Official updates can be installed via Emma the official Sony flashtool or androxyde flashtool if u have a locked Or unlocked bootloader
And about roms
I have never tried.. I don't wanna try either
Because I can't raise enough fund for a new device if I brick my phone

If someone who is rooted made an ftf from his ROM ...
You can first unlock bootloader and lock it after root. Both unlocking and locking processes are very simple. They can be done by the BLU button in Flashtool.

Thanks so much, but i don't know what is bootloader. Can u explain me what is it?
Sent from my GT-P5210 using XDA Free mobile app
I do not know much about bootloader, but I know it is needed to install recovery and therefore able to install custom roms.
Let me know if I was wrong.
Sent from my D2303 using XDA Free mobile app
If you do not know what is a bootloader, than you probably should not use Flashtool, flash anything ore root a phone.
