Hi everyone. I'm new in this website and I REALLY need your help. I want to root my cell phone (xperia mini st15i), and I want if possible to give me a trustworthy video so I can root it step by step. The reason of this thread is having a video from you guys that I know I can trust. My build number is 4.1.B.0.587 Kernel version is 2.6.32.9-perf and I'm using Android 4.0.4. Hope that you'll help me and not being pain in the ass. Thanks!
There's a sub forum for xperia mini. Better to ask it in there. I had the same device one year ago. Easiest way is unlocked the bootloader and install a CWM added kernel and flash superSU zip file. There are many ways to root it without unlocking bootloader.

I managed to root my device just fine using this method

But read through the thread a bit before you actually go for it.

yes I have yet this program, I've tried to talk with them on skype to know what I have to write in "serial number" case: the manual say that I need its!
did you use unlockphone to unlock bootloader too?
today the phone advised me that is possible tu upgrade at 11.0.A.4.22,
have I to upgrade or is better what we say in message 4 e 5?
does Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 able to root this firmware?
REEDIT:
ok, I did , very easy, with "unlockroot", do not need any code or serial number but it was not funny as root a chinese phon
can I updete to new firmer (11.0.A.4.22) version without lost root?

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

I rooted my device this way
Hello there
I have Xperia T (LT30p) running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. I want to root it but when I went to check whether I can unlock the bootloader or not, it said a clear NO. What can I do in this case? Will I be able to root my device ever? What is the bootloader and its function? If I try to root my device, will I brick it? Kindly help me with this.
Thank you!!

Hello,
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!
Hi i have read through all the guides by king vortex and followed them word for word without success. i have had my tablet rooted before but i kept on getting a request to update my software which was getting tiresome so i did. this removed my root when i did this (very annoying as had my tablet set up perfectly for what i wanted). when i tried to root it again however i for i couldnt do it with the build i had currently installed (10.5.A.0.292) so the guid asked me to use the flashtool to return it to 10.5.A.0.230 which is fine as I have some experience with flashing already. the only issue i'm finding is whenever i do flash it with this software it is bricking the tablet and i have to use emma to repair it which just reinstalls the most up to date software which puts me back at square one. do you have any advice to help me with this???
my tablet model is
xperia tablet Z LTE
SGP321
build number 10.5.A.0.230
android 4.4.4
Unlocked bootloader
Please review [STOCK ROM] [Root] [FTF] 4.4.2 Kitkat Xperia Tablet Z SGP311 10.5.A.0.230 VMo UK IE
