But how can i back GB ? how to root my Xperia S :crying: :crying:

[Q] [help] Xperia Acro HD SO-03D jb update

Hey guys! I got this device from my cousin as a present and ive been doing some research and found out that it can be upgraded to jb as well. I know that this is the same as the Acro S. I saw some posts here on XDA saying they succeeded on upgrading it to jellybean. That's why im here because i really dont know how to do it. Can someone give me a step by step guide with the files needed or just link me to a thread? They said they lost their IMEI though after upgrading it any way to prevent that?

Help with my LT28AT

I am looking to upgrade my Ion LT28AT to the CM10 for locked bootloaders and am kind of leery since I only recently rooted it and don't really need a brick. I am open to any advice and of course help with this. I did check out the thread that lists the downloads themselves but I don't know how to go about flashing them to my phone.

[Completed] [Q] Having trouble understanding steps to rooting sony z ultra gpe

Ok im having trouble understanding this. Im new and ive read for countless hours but it seems as though i have to install a custom firmware?? Not sure what a kernel is so im leaning against that. I have a z ultra googleplay edition running 5.1 lollipop. Should I downgrade to kitkat 4.4? Is that even possible? Ive heard by unlocking bootloader you lose camera function and screen resolution which I defenitely dont want to do. Any help would be grear. It seems as though even the people that own stores that told me they can do ut are giving me the run around. If anyone knows someone that has done this before and put me in contact it would greatly be appreciated as well.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to get information and ask questions is in your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra They are the experts on your device.
