Hi
All
I have got a very quick question to ask and hope somebody can help me. I have got an Xperia play R800i. I used a program called SuperOneClick to root my phone. After using this program I got superuser access so that means my phone is rooted. But how do i unlock the bootloader.
Because according to the sony erricsson website when i type in that code *#*#7378423#*#* into my phone it says that i can not unlock my bootloader. I dont understand if i have rooted my phone my bootloader should be unlock write. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Also do i need an unlocked bootloader to install CyanogenMod 7 on my phone even if i have rooted it.
Many
Thanks
Mohammed

Use the search next time.
It has been reported that the UnlockRoot tool works fine for Xperia E. Use that.

Yeah, I actually DID use search!
The post about unlocking with UnlockRoot says:
Compatible with:
√ Xperia J (ST26i) with 11.0.A.3.28*, 11.0.A.7.5* and 11.2.A.0.21** firmware
√ Xperia Tipo(Dual) (ST21i, ST21i2) with 11.0.A.1.8, 11.0.A.4.22, 11.0.A.6.5 and 11.0.A.6.8 firmware
√ Xperia Miro (ST23i) with 11.0.A.5.5 firmware
√ Xperia E(Dual) (C1505/6) with 11.1.A.0.68* firmware
* ICS firmware
** JB firmware
NB: Xperia J and E single sim JB cannot root with UnlockRoot.

Pardon me if I've mistaken what the above sentence means!
It's also bloomin difficult to search for a device called "Xperia E" when any threads that contain the phrase "Xperia E Dual" also return :/
Oh, also, I have actually tried UnlockRoot and it does NOT work.
Thanks

Strange. Well, euhh, try Bin4ry tool, might work for you.
I know it works on some new JB Xperia devices such as Xperia Z, so therefore it might work for your Xperia E.
My apologies about the previous post, it was my understanding that it worked for Xperia E single, as I've read some posts somewhere that it did.
If you're willing to unlock the boot loader you can always flash a boot image with recovery (e.g. FXP213) and install the flashable Superuser zip.

but wont work on stock rom....coz fxp kernel is based on 3.0.8 and stock kernel of e is 3.4 .... correct me if i am wrong.....i am searching for a way to root this phone too....
Doesn't matter, you can just flash back to the stock boot image after installing Superuser from recovery.

now if all went wel lur phone has a locked xperia e dual sim bootloader..
now all u have to do is install update centre and update ur phone..
Peace.
Greetings,
I'm trying to unlock and root my friend's Xperia E so we can delete all the unwanted apps (e.g. Facebook), but I'm afraid that both of us have little experience rooting any phone. I did read bg.shishir's explanation above this post, but it simply confused me. Could someone please give me a clear walk-through on how to root the phone or how to delete the apps? I'm very much willing to learn, but there are a lot of terms/steps I don't understand, because the implicit steps are expected to be understood, which is I'm afraid not the case for me. I posted my issue here since it seemed to be the most relevant thread.
Sincerely yours,
ItsForAFriend
Root Accomplished!!
Guys to root your Xperia E...pls refer to this guide .... Root Xperia E

Awesome i had to go the long root cuz i couldnt find stock ftf...
Please post a link?
if anyone is still looking for a easy root solution, check out SRSRoot (not allowed to post links yet)
it worked perfect on my xperia E (c1505) with LOCKED bootloader from Vodafone (Portugal)
just download it, install (make sure you also have adb drivers installed) and select "Root Device (All Methods)"
after that, a menu will pop up on the cellphone itself asking you to select which exploit (they got lord of the ring names lol) Gandalf worked for me.

no, it only provides root access, does not unlock sim or bootloader
i updated firmware from 15.0.A.1.31 to 15.0.A.1.36, when i buy this phone.
i tried to root after it, but i even cant do PARTIAL ROOT.
motochopper.zip and xperia_L_ROOT.zip both stuck at "daemon started successfully", backup TA(v9.5) cant detect my device.
debugging mode is on and i can see driver installed properly when i connect my phone to my pc.
i hope there is a method root witout unlock bootloader.
anybody has idea or any pros can help?
sorry for my bad english.
Use framaroot...there is thread about it...do some searching

P.S. bad English doesn't matter :good:
You will only get partial root access with a locked boot-loader for full root you have to unlock boot-loader
Try other root tools, first totally unroot if you have installed super su remove it and go to Development options and allow mock locations,[I kept it on while rooting and got succeeded. :good:
Please upload a full video of rooting xperia l
Sent from my C2104 using xda app-developers app
there us one app called framaroot... it gives you partial root access (after enough trys) and that will be enough for TA backup. You will do that backup an afterwards unlock the bootloader. Then just flash extended stock kernel or vengeance kernel for root. Sounds easy right? it is if you have a clue about that flashing thing. Just pay attention about drivers and all will be fine

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345499 it work on .31 firmware. On .36 maybe work too.
Hi!
Sorry if someone has already covered this but I really tried to find threads but I was too confused.
I have rooted two devices before, but this is my first Sony device. I am on latest 4.2.2 firmware with build no.15.3.A.1.12.
If you can please tell me the best way to root my device, that would be great. I want to overclock my cpu and maybe install a custom kernel. Will root be enough or do I have to unlock my bootloader to?
Thankyou in advance,
WahajAyub
hello; this way you can root your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591290 u need usb debuging on, unknown sources on and werify apps off for that, also i adive you to install fastbtoo, flashmode drivers (they are in the flashtool folder called drivers) and just in case jdk, sdk.
I dont think there is an option to OC withought custom kernel but i many be wrong
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply but how can I install a custom kernel? Does it require unlocking the bootloader?
Edit: And could you tell me that does installing pc companion make a difference? Should I uninstall it?
well for me not. there is was and will be problems with pcc so i always install seus instead. they are nearly the same but seus has less bugs
for your first question, yes installing kernel needs unlocked bootloader, there is a guide on the forum so i think rthat if you can (some ppl cant) unlock it you shouldnt have any problems with that
Thanks
