I have flashed my Tipo with firmware .27 with flashtool.
Now I am unable to root my phone with unlockroot.
I have installed unlockroot, Sony pc companion.
Please tell me how to root and unlock bootloader.
Explain every single step.
Please...!! please...!!!
Flash .21
flash .22 or .21 (can't remember) then root.
Feel free to hit thanks, it means a lot

Made a FTF out of PC Companion just yesterday after getting the phone.
download here
If anyone is collecting FTF links into any thread, they are free to update it there too
(Tested working, does not relock a unlocked bootloader either)
For xperia Ray there's a way to root it without official unlock therefore without loosing the warranty.
Is there such a way for xperia J?
Search sumwere dude
You will get a flashtool plugin that will unlock the bootloader and relock it too then get a coustem kernel vengence or cm10 vengence will give you cwm and then get flashable zip of supersu and flash it
Safest method

Why not try this?
1. Go find universal adb installer.
2. Find unlockroot offline version (try to get the latest version, online version forces us to install crap before actually installing it).
3. Press the big root button.
Now using:
Sony Xperia tipo ST21i
stock 4.0.4
11.0.A.4.22
(rooted, locked bootloader)
Thank you all, I'll try

Hi Friends,
I wanted to have my Xperia J with ICS 11.0.A.7.5 firmware to be backed up. So following some post here on this forum stating that first repair phone using PCC and then go to db\13740270\blob_fs and copy 3 files with name "File....." and then convert the file to ftf using Flashtool.
So I first repair it using PCC. It succesfully repaired but after repairing, I found that now it is not ICS 11.0.A.7.5 but its JB11.2.A.0.31.
Also instead of 3 files with name starting with "File..." in db\13740270\blob_fs folder, there are 4 files starting with that name.
Can someone please guide me out of these 4 files, which files are to be selected in Flashtool for creating .ftf file to keep the backup of 11.2.A.0.31 firmware?
Also we know that there are some bugs in JB 11.2.A.0.31 as well as its hard to root this version. So if I want to go back to ICS 11.0.A.7.5, how can i revert back.
Thanks very much.

Regarding the backup I'm not sure exactly but from what I understand you want to save the .31 firmware for future flashing. If so, if the .31 firmware is unbranded you won't need to save it because there are links to the .31 Central European version ftf file on these forums.
And regarding the getting back part, if you ever wanna go back to ICS you can just flash the ICS .ftf file ( again you can find the links in the threads here) and you're done. BTW, if you wanna update to .31 I would recommend rooting the ICS and then updating OTA so that you can keep your root.

Thanks Sir for your guidance.
I did it this way...
Previously it was ICS unbranded and I rooted it sucessfully. Then I Repaired it with PCC (for getting backup of ICS) but it was repaired with JB .31 and root was lost.
Should I follow this way ?
First Flash ICS 7.5 .ftf file, then root it, then OTA update with JB. I also want to know that :
1. Will instead OTA updating with PCC work?
2.Is there any way to get back ICS by flashing with PCC instead of flash tools?
Thanks

Not a problem man.
To answer your questions :
1- If you update withe Pc companion you will loose your root. Only updating over the air will keep the root. ( after you finish the updating process you simply need to update the superuser app from the playstore).
2- Unfortunately, if you use the repair function Pc Companion will give you the latest version available, there is no way of choosing which Android Version to install, it will choose it for you. So if you want ICS you need to flash the .ftf file with flashtools
I already know how to flash with the "Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde".
I also know how i can get the latest Firmware for my Device with the XperiFirm Downloader.
I also know how i can update/Upgrade with the Sony Mobile Flasher without Data loss.
But i dont know how i can integrate the Root Files in the Firmware which should be flashed.
What i have:
XPERIA Z3 with locked Boot Loader (Running 23.4.A.1.264)
"PC with Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde"
What i want:
A flashable Firmware 23.4.A.1.264 with integrated root without unlocking the bootloader.
So how i can integrate this in my Firmware?
Look in the cross device development section for the PRFCreator thread
And FYI, you will never be able to flash a pre-rooted firmware with flashtool, you have to be already rooted with a custom recovery to flash it.
Hello,

Can someone help me?

You dont need to unlock your bootloader,just find a ftf and flash it with flashtool...there are many guides on the internet
Thanks for the info, can you provide me a link where I can find official Sony ftf files?
How secure is to use random ftf file from the internet? I use online banking on my phone, so I want to be sure that is secure.

There are no "official" ftf's...You can make one by using xperifirm (i doubt the kitkat files are still in the servers)
ftf in xda are trustworthy most of the time
Thanks, can you or someone else send me the theme where I can download the ftf file for my Xperia from xda?
Don't think there is any KK ftf's left on expirifirm Sony usually remove them pretty quickly. There's bound to be one on here somewhere. I think I've still got a pre-rooted KK zip somewhere for the D2303 lte, also I don't know who told you that you need to unlock your Bootloader to downgrade/use flashtool, you don't it'll work on totally stock unrooted devices. You must however wipe user data+cache+appslog when downgrading from lollipop to KK and when Updating from KK to lollipop via flashtool.
