Hello everybody,
First of all, I'd like to apologise if I'm posting this in the wrong thread, I'm kinda lost, as I'm new to this website and the smartphone world in general.
See, I've just bought a Sony Xperia Tipo ( http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_tipo-4718.php ) in the UK, and I moved back to my country (Peru), so my warranty is already voided.
What I wanted to do was to root and install a JB Rom (admittedly, I haven't found much information about this, and even the beginner guides I found confusing).
I was thinking on doing it without asking by following this tutorial on how to root a Xperia Tipo ( http://androidadvices.com/root-sony-xperia-tipo-st21a-android-phone-tutorial/ ), then I found this other one in the XDA forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890478 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971370 but the comments were somehow discouraging and the instructions were more than confusing for my slow working brain (sorry!).
Then I read that Sony Xperia Tipo does not support the unlock bootloader function ( http://2e0b66ea.yyv.co/ - from the official sony xperia website), does that mean I won't be able to install a cuztomized JB ROM?
Now, I've also searched through the forums and found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28929562#post28929562
Having said that, I would very much appreciate a rooting guide for dummies for the Sony Xperia Tipo (or should I just use one of those tutorials i posted?)
Will I be able to install the JB ROM I mentioned on my Tipo?
Thank you guys so much in advance for any future replies and I apologise for the stupidity of my question, but I had to ask before bricking my phone.
P.S: Needs to be said that I just bought the phone, so I didn't make any configurations or anything, was waitign to see if I can root my headset first.

as it is confirmed by sony official website

I need to know how to root my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc LT15i. I have the ICS 4.0.4 standard SE issue installed with a locked bootloader. I have followed several tutorials on this site and ended up having a phone that keeps crashing after starting up.
1. Where is the ROMs required to install before rooting?
2. Where is the tool to root this phone?
3. Where is the latest ROM for ICS?
Also, clear instructions would be appreciated - please don't direct me to another forum topic because that didn't help at all.
google or search

Hi guys, I`m an new user and I`m starting my knologe about Android, so I have some questions about the procedure to Install CM10 on my device. I read many posts at the forum, but i got a little confused about the way I might procede.
-Fist of all my device is a Sony Xperia Arc S (X12) Lt18a, but all the information for rooting and installing CM10 are for the Lt18i, Does it make any diference, because i know that the frequecies are diferent, and i`m afraid my cellphont stop working here on Brasil.
-Second, i`m confused about what i might do first, i might root or flash my device?
My android is:4.0.4 ans version number is 4.1.B.0.431.
Thx alot for all that can help.

HI All,
Recently got a replacement for my xperia Z, a Z1 ! I had KitKat on it which came with an annoying SD card problem (I guess you all know about this issue....) I flashed to 14.2.A.1.136 Jelly Bean and Rooted with TowelRoot. All good except that my SuperSU will not update its binaries....Access to SD read/write is all OK.
I would also like to be able to use a custom ROM, iHacker's look interesting and very useful but the process seems very long winded and I don't want to try it without SuperSU working properly.
I am not bothered with KITKAT so happy to stay with Jelly Bean if necessary.
Although I am able to Flash an FTF I am still a bit green with regard to android workings so simple directions would be muchly appreciated.
I hope anyone out there can help me
PS I found StorageCow but didnt know if any of the ftf files would help my problem, guess I need the last JB firmware....
Hi,
Me advice would be to read as much as you can and get a handle on everything, then follow the instructions to the letter. Also, here's a great guide for doing most things.... And you can ask questions here,
> Sony Xperia Z1 > Xperia Z1 General > Root, Backup TA, Unlock bootloader and more! The ultimate Xperia Z1 guide
Good luck!
Much appreciated KJ
Thank you. Thread closed.
