Hi.
I have one sony xperia u with android 2.3.7 and i want to simply root this phone and if this happened without loosing any data.
I have already try these steps
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x65ua5x4sMc
but at step 12 it seems like the mobile doesn't response at all and i don't know how to install the step 4(android sdk software)
And i try even that without any results.
I believe it need to unlock the bootloader so i can proceed with root but because i can't install the android sdk software the xperia u doesn't communicate with my pc.
before you go in the developers only forum find your device in the search box..if you cant do that go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1515
for rooting your XU try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
and you dont need to unlock your bootloader to root a sony device
Already try rhat with no success so......
Maybe because I can't install adb or android sdk with success....
I don't know....

go ahead and update your device..no harm in that..use bin4ry's rooting method after that..try using v13 first though before using the latest..

Sorry but I can't find out what to do.
I want to remove about 10-15 apps from my xperia ray like tetris demo, trial wise pilot, or even more uselessapps like facebook, trackid, or sync(as sync is not working anyway).
So in fact, all I want is to remove all the irrelevant apps from the system.
Problem is:
I get confused searching the site. (ST18i/ .368 or .62/2.3.3 or 2.3.4; I couldn't figure out what to do. Bootloader unlock via official site was no problem; but then what?)
So I do not want a complete empty system, I just want to remove some apps which should not be locked in the . Do I need a full root, or is there a simple way?
Can anyone help me?
Hi, I'm not a dev and I'm new to android too, so maybe someone have to confirm what I say.
You don't have to unlock your bootloader to remove bloatware, just root it.
I think that there's no way to root .62 firmware (at least for now). You have to downgrade to .42 (using Wotan Server, for exemple) and root your mobile with Zergrush method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350), when root is done you can upgrade to .62 firmware OTA that will keep your phone rooted.
That's what I did when I reinstalled .62 FW in my X Ray with SEUS after a bootloop problem.

Hi all,
I have tried to root my new Sony Xperia Miro (Vodafone UK). I have Android SDK and Superoneclick. Superoneclick gets stuck on "waiting for device" when I launch the rooting process (I have unmounted my SD). I have trawled Google, but I haven't found anything that helps.
The phone isn't listed on XDA, I assume, because it's hot off the press. Any advice would be appreciated.
Sincerely, Noob.

Do you need an unlocked bootloader for this?
Nope, at least, I hadn't. I pulled my Miro out of the box, set up the device with my Google account, and started the script. The first three times it failed, but the fourth time it worked. I suppose I didn't unlock the bootloader in the process.
I'll also try to see if I can. :cyclops:
King regards,
Jorge
I ran version 11 and got the first!!
Excellent!!
Many thanks to the developers!!
root miro
root didn't work on new firmware on miro :crying:
Sony repaired bug and now this tool dont work ..
You need to revert back to firmware 11.0.A.2.10 in order to root. I had my miro updated
to 11.0.A.5.5 but I was unable to root it. I reverted back to 11.0.A.2.10 (using flashtool
and ST23i_11.0.A.2.10_CentralEurope.ftf) and then I rooted it easily with "Root_with_Restore
_by_Bin4ry_v18".
If you are not planning on installing a custom rom, just flash it with a clear OEM 11.0.A.5.5
firmware so as to get rid of all the crap that came with your phone.
Hello, I have a problem, do all the steps but when I click on Restore in mobile, not the message that should be in the Windows console, either restarts or anything ...
Also when I click on Restore (the backup is loaded BootMe) takes not even half a second in "restored"
PS: I have debug mode and third applications on.
Guide I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Other: That the 2nd time I root my Xperia S. The first time worked, but now no.
Someone help me?
You may have an updated firmware that blocks the exploit. If you do you'll need to flash a rootable ftf then root. Search the Xperia S forum for the files

If you don't want to lose DRM keys and Warranty, first flash a rootable .ftf file using Flashtool. You can find link in your forum. DO NOT unlock your bootloader. It voids your warranty. If you don't care, unlock it. And Use the search function before starting a new thread.

Model Number: itel inote beyond it1450
Phone Name:Itel
Android version:2.3.5
pls i need rooting help or where to download the phone adb driver please
Ok the root I have managed now! The next question is what is the correct sequence for the installation of a clean Firmware without Verizon Bloat? I have download this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/general/rom-droid-mini-maxx-ultra-lte-fw-6-7-3-t3262555
Firmware but i dont know the install procedure., please Insiders help me with this!
I have to ask because I'm not a Android insider and with many abbreviations used in posts here'm not familiar
Or I may as well install Lollipop after I have the root successfully performed ??
I am completely new in this topic therefore ask this, everyone has to start sometime and is new and inexperienced in a theme.

Unless you have an unlocked bootloader I don't see how you will install Lollipop as I still haven't seen an official update to it. If you do have an unlocked bootloader your root would be super simple though.

In the link you provided, the installation instructions are there (but you have to click to show content).
Can you not find the instructions or which step in the instructions are you stuck at?
Plus, you would be in the "for Loked device" section.
We really need to know where exactly you are stuck. A few of us have done this already and are more than willing to help
