This one is for me (deserved). But there are some differences between the ftf files for this phone and X10 mini pro (the one I had before), and the processes for flashing the files used confuse me a lot... But I'll do this today, for sure.

Already downloading. This version has all the vodafone crap and besides root, is untouched, right?
One more thing: CWM in only a boot.img file... And I can't find a tutorial for it. Do I have to replace a boot.img file in sytem folder when rooted, is that it?
And how about TWRP? Not advised...?

Hi!
I have problem during instalation. I loaded ICS and root, my BL is locked, i have CWM 6.0.2.7... And i can't install this. I tried with "update.zip" and "choose zip to install". It can't find any zip files. I can mount SD to PC via CWM. I also tried to format SDC and internal memory, but it didn't helped.
Save me, i want this update so badly

[TuT] Xperia J Are You A Noob Or Just New To The Xperia Forums Then Look Here.

Basic Tools, Knowlage & Files You Will Need​
Ok lets begin i have been asked quite a few times so here it is. These are the basic tools files etc. you will need. I will write an brife explanation of what these tools, files are for and what they can do and installation instructions.
7Z.​used to extract zip file contents used mainly to compress data files to save space and time uploading & downloading find it here: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Winrar​
Used also to extract zips but also rar & tar files download from this link: http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0
Flashtool​
Flashtool was created by Bin4ry & Androxide legends around here it is used to do various things the main reason you will probably use it for is recovering from a brick The Main uses are flashing flashing stock firmware that come in ftf file format (which stands for "flash tool file") kernels can come in this format to and are flashed using "flashmode" enterd by holding down the volume down key while connecting the usb cable when you see a green led that indicates "flashmode". Flashing custom kernels these normally come in .img format (which is an image file) and require an unlocked bootloader. Sony lock there bootloaders to protect their DRM key which are security key for media apps like track-id & facebook inside xperia. Custom kernels are needed for custom roms like Cyanogenmod, AOSP, & AOKP A custom recovery can come in this format to to flash .img files we use "fastboot" for this (which is enterd by turning off phone and holding volume up key while connecting usb cable a blue led will indicate your in fastbootmode then click on the lightning bolt on flastool and select fastboot mode to open the fastboot toolbox) These ate the basic operations you need tho know...
download flashtool from the flash tool home at: http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1350585408000
Installation​
download flashtool from link if its in a zip format extract with 7z. You will get a flashtool launcher double click and follow the on screen instructions then reboot you pc/laptop.
Driver Installation​ next we need to install the flash tool drivers Tipo/Dule/Miro/J/E dont have the drivers in the package so you will have to download them separate do a search get use to that you will be doing a lot of it when you have found and downloaded the flashtool drivers extract the zip with 7z. you will get an FTD file (flashtool driver file) copy and past it in the flashtool sub folder devices (to get to flashtool folder right click on start menu then click on expolore you will see all the files on your computer find and click on flashtool you will see more sub folders we want the devices folder) after you have pasted it there exit to desktop start flashtool and click the devices tab then import a window will pop up with you device click ok then it will import you devce drivers when its finished your done flashtool is all set up congratulations!
FTF Files​
Ok ftf files are the bundled parts of the Sony stock firmware created buy someone through flashtool & SUS (sony update service) mainly used to recover from a soft brick or if you have unlocked your bootloader then it will be the only means you can update stock firmware as sony will not let you officialy update your phone as they will class it as modified. when downloaded it would probably be in a zip file (se 7z. is coming in handy ) Then start flashtool and drag the extracted ftf file into the flashtool window (the big white box) click ok and files will begin to prepare. when they are raedy a window will popup with a phone and a usb cable on it this is telling you to connect a phone in flashmode do by holding the volume down key while connecting the usb to your phone (keep hold of volume down until flashin process starts) when its all finished reboot there you have it you flashed a firmware. You can flash between platforms like Gingerbread to ICS or Jelly bean to ics.
Find all the ftf firmware files here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385526 and make sure you thank the member for making the thread by pressing the Thanks button
Rooting Your Phone​
Rooting your phone is hacking in to the software to gain access to the root system files hence the term "ROOTING". This allows you to modify your phone install apps that require root permitions, run performance tweaks and flash custom firmware.
Root ICS​
There are several methods but unlockroot roots all ICS Roms Link: http://www.unlockroot.com/download.html
Root Jelly Bean​
To root Jelly Bean 11.2.A.0.21, .31,.33 Firmware's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=23 and thank the great and powerful DoomLord
Clockworkmod Recovery​
Clockworkmod recovery All so known as (CWM) was developed by Koushik Dutta (Koush), a well-known name in the Android development community. It is a custom recovery that backs up and restores android roms exactly how you left it at the time of the backup. It also is used to flash CWM flashable zips like mods apps or even an entire firmware. CWM has not been ported to our device running jelly bean only ICS there are 2 but the best one is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003069
For CWM on jellbean look a this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333078
I think thats it to get you started fellow xperia users hopefully i will change or add things when needed or when new things are released happy modifying and

[Q] Any changes if you're rooting on a mac?
Hiya,
great tutorial -- im a total newcomer and have been reading (what seems like) hundreds of pages on this site for the last few days, trying to learn how to root my phone. i think i have it the process mostly down, but the one thing i'm not quite sure about is doing everything on a mac.
my phone (arriving in a few days) -- xperia E (C1504 version) i have a 32g sd card from my current phone that i will probably re-use (unless this isn't advisable?) as i understand it, i'll have to unlock the bootloader first, then root the phone. my plan is to just remove the sony bloatware, install a fairly vanilla rom, and make the cpu/battery run more efficiently. was thinking about the vengeance kernel, too.
ive read through a few mac-specific threads, but was wondering if you (or anyone else) might be able to point me in the right direction when it comes to doing all of the above on a mac.
many thanks,
mei

[Q] Rooting Xperia E3 D2203 (4.4.4)

Hello everyone... I recently updated my phone to 4.4.4 via flashtool. It's obvious that it's unrooted now as it's on stock kernel. Is there any chance that anyone is going to make a custom kernel to root D2203 variant with 4.4.4 installed?? Plz let me know asap. Badly need root. Storage issues. Gotta need Link2SD for moving apps and removing bloatware for storage restoration. And it's a root demanding app as you know. Thanks.

Does this:
install "MiniTool Partition Wizard Free" then creates two partitions.
VERY IMPORTANT, defines the 2 partitions as PRIMARY.

Are you sure that your system is prepared to mount system as r/w?
Are you using the Universal init.d to achieve the full root?

Ya I using universal init.d. For now I have dropped the idea of creating partitions. There is no cwm kernel in my system. Maybe Root isn't working properly. I'll wait till someone develops a kernel for D2203 (4.4.4). that way root will work normally. Till then I'm just using it to convert some of the system apps to user apps and moving them to sd card. things are going fine for now. Got 1.4 gb free in internal. So let's wait and see if someone finally releases the cwm recovery for my model. Thanks btw.

I have 4.4.4 on D2203 with full root and without cwm. I have the "Link2SD Plus" working perfectly without any requirement of cmw!
My D2203 has the boot loader unlocked, does not have any cwm recovery installed, and only use the "Universal init.d" to run the "SYSTEM MOUNT FIX" so you can use without restriction "Link2SD Plus!
If you are not able to create links to the second Partition is because you are doing something wrong!

Ya you're right. I am probably doing something wrong. could you guide me thru the process which u applied for gaining system -rw ?? becoz I followed this guide
Fixing ability to mount system as r/w for D2203,D2206,D2243 (LTE)
THIS IS REQUIRED TO INSTALL XPOSED OR LINK2SD OR OTHER APPS WHICH WRITE ON SYSTEM
UPDATED
important - goto settings=>about phone tap on build number until it say,s no need,you are already a devloper. Then go back and open developer options and enable usb debugging
Step 0 - install BusyBox installer and Universal Init.d
Step 1 - Download this SYSTEM MOUNT FIX.zip and extract and run runme.bat
Step 2 - Now Open Universal Init.d Change Switch From Off to On
Step 3 - Now reboot and install busybox. (if busybox install it mean success and if it fail then ask me about it)
Now you can mount system as rw!!!
And according to it, I did everything written in it. Did i do some step wrong?
What all do you do in Universal Init.d? Because I only turned the switch on after runnnig the batch command in the computer from the post of vinay.. the developer. So if you could plz guide me thru the steps which you took after installing 4.4.4 and Superuser. Coz I'm also using Link2sd plus . I suppose that size of the SD card doesn't matter right? Because I'm making partition of 1 gb out of a 2 gb SD card.

Does the following:
1 Flash any firmware (18.5.C.0.19 UK)
2 Download and copy to the root of the sd card SuperSU.zip
3 Connect you phone to your pc in Fastboot mode (Turn off your phone and connect usb while pressing vol up)
4 Click on SELECT KERNEL TO FLASH KERNEL CHOOSER WINDOW will open now click on *.sin and change it to *.img Now Select BOOT_D2203_4.4.2.img(Click Here To Download BOOT_D2203_4.4.2.img) and select open KERNEL WILL BE FLASHED
5 Now disconnect USB and press power button on phone. Phone will vibrate with purpule notification light press vol up and down untill you see CWM recovery.
6 Select INSTALL ZIP IN CWM
7 Select 2nd option which is chose zip From /S..... now navigate to UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.zip and press power button.
8 now go back to first page and go to Advance and choose Power Off option --> Fix Root and then connect usb press vol down.
9 You will see Flashtools say Device Connected in FlashMode Now click on Thunder Button.
10 And select FLASH MODE and Click OK Select Firmware and in Wipe Menu Remove mark From CACHE AND DATA and in Exclude Menu Mark All but not Kernel. Now Click on Flash button.
11 After Flash Remove USB and Boot Device.
After all this, we only have half "root"!
Now we get the full root!
IMPORTANT- goto settings=>about phone tap on build number until it say,s no need,you are already a devloper. Then go back and open developer options and enable usb debugging
Step 1 install Universal Init.d
Run the Universal init.d (it is normal for error!)
Step 2 - Download this SYSTEM MOUNT FIX.zip and extract and run runme.bat
VERY IMPORTANTE! RUN MULTIPLE TIMES THE "RUN ME" TO STOP APPEARING ERROR MESSAGE! (I RUN 3 TIMES!)
See the attached image
Step 3 - Now reboot and install busybox. (if busybox install it mean success and if it fail then ask me about it)
If you followed all the steps correctly should appear in the list of scripts "Universal init.d" something called "NS".
Good luck and excuse my English.

Is this what you needed? I extracted the kernel.sin file by opening the ftf file using winrar. I have attached it.
