Can any big wiz here make a tutorial to root xperia J jellybean without unlocking bootloader and flashing, like the one we had earlier for ICS version ( single executable file ) that would grant root access ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181640
This is for locked bootloader. Actually hasn't other way.
Anyone tested this ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368

Hi I have a Sony xperia s with the build number 6.0.A.3.62 but my bootloader is locked is there anyway that I can root my device on this build without unlocking my bootloader ? I'm new at this so any help is appreciated. Thank you
You could try SuperOneClick or UnlockRoot. Those are two PC based programs. You run them, plug in your phone and click the Root button, and then if it is possible to root your phone without unlocking the bootloader, one of those tools will most likely be able to do it.
If neither work, it probably isn't possible without unlocking the bootloader. But look in the device specific forum for your device for more guidance before unlocking the bootloader.
EDIT: It looks like currently you must unlock the bootloader for the Xperia S. There is no working exploit for rooting. The tools I advised above won't work. If you're not willing to unlock your bootloader, you can't root at this time.
I am using Sony Live with Walkman WT19i
Android version 4.0.4
Build Number 4.1.B.0.431
I have a few questions --
1 - What is difference between unlocking bootloader and rooting? Which one to do first? can one be done without other?
2 - if I want to root my device, what method should i use?
the rooting business
1) rooting - its gaining ADMIN level or ROOT level access similar to root in linux. You can do anything without restrictions.
unlock bootloader - you have to unlocking the bootloader, so it can load a custom rom you want. Without unlocking, only the device manufacturer's original ROM is loaded.
You can root it, but leave the bootloader intact and not the other way around.
2) try this thread :

I am also trying to root my WT19i, but it seems not possible on the ICS upgrade, so I have to downgrade to GB.
Also share your result.

Some of my friends told me that certain Xperia features get broken after a root, and that my phone does not have a stock recovery..i earlier had a micromax a52 (didnt run into any root related problems, custom roms worked fine)
Can anybody run me through rooting my phone, installing cwm recovery and custom mods?
Does the bravia engine get disabled? Is there a way to avoid/revert it? Is bravia engine useful at all?
Just looking for a little help, noob here

Rooting guide here
If you don't unlock your bootloader no Xperia features are broken.
If you unlock your bootloader and root some functions like DRM & Software Update may not be working anymore.

It's required if you want to use custom roms based on 4.4
But there aren't any daily use roms available. You should keep it locked until Brinly Taylor releases CM.
(And if you unlock it make sure to backup your TA first)
Thankyouu
You should definitely root and then install Xposed Framework and every sort of module that you like. One of the most famous ones is Gravity box, you can almost do everything with it, for example change the size of the nav bar, which in my opinion is insanely huge by default, but you can do a lot more with it.
It's also worth installing Tinted Status Bar, Xperia Flip Settings, Xposed DTN disabler, Hide Stamina mode icon, NFC LockScreenOff Enabler, All Notifications Expanded and so on, you can do everything with root.
I have to root my fon for a call recorder to work. Shud i only root it thru motochopper or shud i go for full root by unlocking bootloader?
If you are on the latest firmware which is 15.3.A.1.14
You should really root your Xperia L by procedure written in link provided

According to me only Rooting gives you the full ownership of the phone.Root ASAP.

Hi, I just recovered my bricked Xperia J, and I have lost root access. I do not have an unlocked bootloader and I am allowed to unlock it. I have tried many applications that allow me to unlock my bootloader (Because the official way is too time consuming) and root my phone, but they do not work. Any suggestions for apps?
This is for rooting http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe.../j-doomlord-easy-rooting-toolkit-v17-t2366577
and you don't need to unlock bootloader, but my segestion is to unlock with sony's oficial way it safest.
Didn't work

It didn't work with my Xperia J FW 11.2.A.0.31. Any other suggestions? But thanks anyway! Will continue searching.:good:
Try with Flashtool root methods one of them worked for me once. in DooMLoRD did you turn on usb debugin in dev opt? did it gave you any error? becouse it worked for me all the time.
Good luck!
I Have disabled bootloader on my Xa hoping that I will be easily able to root it but unfortunately that is not the case... So I was wondering if any on you guys might know how I can manually root it or anything. Thanks

Rooting of Xperia XA requires unlocked bootloader. This is first step and it can be done by Flashtool. Without unlocking bootloader you cant root that phone.
