[Q] help me please

Hey guys,
I'm new, and I really don't want to bother you, (because I know the topic did come up several times before) but I'm having such big Problems and trouble with my 2-month-old Xperia E Single.
See, I've been trying to root it for two weeks now and friendly I got way beyond sick and tiered and got stuck somewhere between desperate and annoyed about it.
I went thru all versions of framaroot but in all of them only got Gandalf and Aragon to choose- non of them works (said everytime something about trying other exploids). Then I got to z4root that did nothing beside crash no matter what I did.
I tried other apps but after the installation they showed me lists of the mobile phones they could root, but - oh surprise- mine wasn't on it.
I moved on and started to include my Computer. I tried three programs, Srs was the only one that made sense to me (still installed) even with not being able to choose between gandalf and Aragon i got to the step where it says to back up your data . After confirming it takes two or three secs till the display tells me that the back up is done, but then non of the other things that should happen ever does, srs tells me i should wait until the back up is finished and a bit later i can move on. My xperia e just keeps on rebooting and stops after srs told me to try again.
This is what I've done so far.
If there is a way I like to root my sxe WITHOUT flashing it.
All I really want is to get around those settings of apps that you can't push on SD without having rooted the Device first.
I read a lot of stuff in this past two weeks, or may I rather say different things.
So normaly it's not a problem with the programs or my device, I checked all instructions and followed them.
But still here I am..
What am I doing wrong?
greetings,
Svenja

Hai buddy...
Please tell us about your device model and firmware version...
Thank you
thank me if I helped you...Don't say it,hit the button...

What is the build number?
11.A.2.23 has a more complex way of rooting than 11.A.0.47 / 59 has...
sent from my Xperia E (C1504) using xda Premium
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I WAS OF ANY HELP

Hello,
Well, I rooted my C1505 11.3.A.2.13 using http://cydiaimpactor.com.
First of all: go to your phone and checkmark Enable USB debugging, and Installation from unknown sources)
1. Download the version for Windows(or if you are on a Mac, the the Mac version, pretty obvious )
2. Open the .rar file with 7z or Winrar.(free download, just google, if you haven't already installed one of the two)
3. Just click Impactor.exe, no need to extract anything. It will take a few seconds to start)
4. Connect your phone, and if you haven't already, install the drivers.
5. Set Cydia to: # drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su (probably already the selected way)
6. Click start, and wait 20 seconds. And... You are done! Rooted!
You just have to install superuser/SuperSU manually to give apps root acces. And download Root Checker Basis, so you can check if Cydia worke!
Goodluck!
Cheerios

It's the
11.A.2.23
What app is the right root check?
Sent from my C1505 using xda app-developers app

Hello,
The best rootchecker is this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=nl
It is a free download, just go your phone's playstore and download it+install, and just click on verify root acces. That's it. It will show you, if your device is rooted!.
Check also this thread for 11.3.A.2.23(because Cydia doesn't suport 11.3.A.2.23, oops ): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2435957
Flashing the kernel is possible with Flashtool(https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool/downloads). Just download the zip, and search for a proper Flashtool tutorial! If you don't know what you should do, I am happy to help you out! Just ask.
Cheerios, and goodluck!

I know my sxe isn't rooted. I bought it new, it's my first smartphone.
Do I have to flash it?
Sent from my C1505 using xda app-developers app

Hello,
The root checker is for if you are done with the rooting process. To verify if it worked. You need to flash the kernels with Androxyde's Flashtool. Just Google. Can't help you out more, cuz I'm on phone.

any help please ! :crying:

Recheck/redo step 1. Check all details carefully and follow exactly. Uninstall all things LG before beginning to avoid driver/software conflicts. Turn off antivirus to avoid deletion of required system files or .dll. You must be logged onto pc as administrator for some steps.

Not needed to reflash whole ROM. Just flash the bootloader via flashtool to the recovery partition and you will forceboot your phone to Android.
In fastboot do: "fastboot flash recovery bootloader.bin"

For omap4430 and LG drivers, do part 1 here (you should be logged onto your pc as administrator if you are not already).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195753
Be sure to uninstall all LG stuff and reboot your computer before beginning, and temporarily disable antivirus software when extracting files.
After that, your pc will be set up to use Fastboot to install a bootloader, reflash the phone, or whatever you wish (flashing firmware will write bootloader, but it will also write everything else).

You missed something then.
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda app-developers app

Just try to relax and take it slow, one little bit at a time, and don't get mad. That will just make things worse like wiping your system for no reason. There is no rush; zipping through the details will probably result in something important missed or misunderstood. Driver install has always been the same, even when all we had was Fastboot and ICS ported from the Korean device. It has worked for many thousands of people before you and you have done nothing to your phone, that I have read, that could cause damage that cannot be fixed (hey, maybe I missed something, but as near as I see, it can be restored). Unless you have hardware failure, which sounds unlikely at this point, all I can say is try to relax and start over. The directions have been tested and refined many times over and are just about as complete and detailed as you will find.
And you can thank LG for driver install being as fiddly as it is for this particular device :banghead:

damn you don't need lg service for something so simple... if all else failed just flash a full .kdz rom, your phone will return to 100% stock and will boot fine [i use this for .kdz flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22189294 ]. Or like lzzar said try the recovery bootloop breaker too:

Soft bricked Tipo

Hi there,
1. I am fed up of my Tipo's lagging touch (responding after half an hour, miscaliberation). I update the firmware using Sony companion and tried to install one of the Jelly Bean roms on the stock ICS using CMW. It some how soft bricked my phone. Can any one tell the reason?
2. With lot of effort I installed the stock ST21a 11.0.A.4.22 Sony Generic kernel (using Flashtool). It is same laggy and miscaliberating. Did I not reformat, similar to PC? shouldn't it be fresh and new ?
3. I am not trying to install JB rom. What is the correct way to install? Should I worry about any seperate parts like Kernel?
4. To install JB rom (Paranoid Android) I tried to root the device, but the flash tool says "no root exploit for this version". If i cant root. I cant install CMW. I cant install frest rom. Is there any other way to install ROM?
I am stuck in the above points after my research, and will appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance

FIRSTLY BACKUP THE IMPORTANT STUFF
Steps To Follow -
1. Download Flashtool (I'm Guessing You Don't Have That Yet)
2. Click On The Thunder Icon
3. Click Flashmode
4. There You Would Find A .ftf File Saying Device X10 Version V1 BRELock bla bla..Click OK
5. Then Take Out Your Sd Card And SIM Card And Using A USB Cable Connect Your Device While Pressing The Down Button
6. If You See A Green LED Flash On Your Phone Just Wait Until It Flashes
7. After flashing Is Complete Let Your Phone Reboot
8. Then Attach Your Device To Your PC
9. Go to PC Companion And Press Update Device
10. It Would Say You Don't Have An Update And Have An Option "Repair Phone"
11. Click On That Wait Until It Downloads And Updates
And Viola Your Phone Would Look Fresh As A New One

Yeah, but those two have the same effect. Repairing with PC Companion is exactly the same as flashing a .ftf. And if that didn't work, PC Companion won't.

[Q] Not able to repair brick on m2 2302

Hi everybody!
I'm rather new here and I need help.
I think I soft bricked my device. After getting my unlock code from Sony, I unlocked it via adb. So far so good. After that I installed CWM and a zip. After that I couldn't boot my phone. I've tried everything. Used Flashtool to flash a firmware for my model to make it work again. Unfortunately, after the flashing was done, I ha got another issue. The Sony logo just pops up, goes out, pops up and so on... No I can't access even recovery mode anymore, even though I have a unlocked bootloader...
Can you guys please help me? I'm just 13 and my parents aren't really happy about what I did to my new fancy phone.
I appreciate it, thanks.

You could try flashing a KK ftf (18.3.xxxx) instead of JB (18.0.xxxx). Either download one from the index thread or download yourself using xperifirm and pack it with flashtool.

Thanks! I'll give it a try
