I've had a similar problem with Windows 8.1 its the culprit! No drivers are working on Windows 8.1 for our devices so try with less than Windows 8.1 it will work
and the next version of root exploit will contain framaroot!

Kingo Android ROOT - 100% working

Hello.
Well, sorry for bothering you... but I really don't know what to do. I am too lost so the things I wrote here may not have sense
There is a recap at the end of this post, so I won't annoy you more than necessary.
Before explaining anything, I will show you my mobile specifications.
- Model: Sony Xperia Go ST27i
- Android version: Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4
- Kernel: 6.1.1.B.1.54
- Root?: No
- Unblocked Bootload: No
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My mobile phone was in the 6.1.B.0.599 kernel. Thanks to the user Bin4ry and his application Root and Restore, I could root it and gain superuser privileges, so I could uninstall annoying apps and customize my phone as I wanted with a custom launcher, etc.
Suddenly, every time I reseted the phone, it began to happen a strange thing. I will explain it detailedly.
- I turn on the phone.
- The screen brights with the SONY logo.
- The XPERIA logo appears.
- The phone vibrates shortly and the screen stops brighting.
- The XPERIA logo keeps until an undetermined moment.
- After X time (minutes, hours), Android asks me for the PIN number and starts working normally.
I was tired of this, but I didn't know what to do or why do this happen.
Today I connected the phone to the PC and Sony Companion asked me to update to 6.1.1.B.1.54. I hoped that would help with the problem. What I didn't know is that when I update the kernel, I must root the phone again.
That's because I tried to root the phone again, but the application Root and Restore couldn't do it. I mean, the application did the work, the phone reseted and the problem I had with the Xperia initialization solved, but the mobile kept unrooted.
This is the Root and Restore log:

After I investigated a little in this forum, I learnt that I precisely updated to an unrooteable kernel...
I kept investigating and I found out that the solution was downgrading to the kernel I was, then rooting and finally upgrading again, but to downgrade and upgrade I needed to "flash".
I'm not English, I'm noob in Android world and I'm retard, so I couldn't understand how to flash. I installed FlashTools, but I need to download the kernel and I don't know how to find the correct one for my phone. I don't know if FlashTools needs me to unblock Bootload either, but if I need it, I've already got the code from Sony, though maybe there are other unofficial methods...
Sorry for this huge Bible. I will summarize:
I upgraded from .599 to .54 and I can't root. How can I downgrade the kernel?
I'm sorry again for bothering you and for being so retard in this, but could you help me, please? I would like so much to become root again... You can laugh at me :silly: If I wrote something wrong, please, correct me because I'm not English and I could not realize.
Thank you so much :victory:

Download Flashtool by Bin4ary and Androxyde. Install it. Then You should find the 'rootable ftf' file of your firmware in your Xperia Go forum. Download it. and then put it in the folder where you installed Flashtool. Ex. If you installed it in C Drive, go to C> Program Files> Flashtool> Firmwares and paste the 'ftf' file. Then open Flashtool and click on 'Flash' icon. Select flashmode. Select firmware (Careful). Select Ok and follow instructions on screen. After it is done flashing, disconnect the phone and turn it on. It WILL NOT turn ON on its own. Before flashing, make sure USB debugging is on, unknown sources is checked & you are in MSC mode not in MTP mode.
Flashing this ftf will solve ALL of your problems and will unroot your device.
Once the phone turns on, go to your forum section and search on topics how to root. Once rooted, you can remove any unwanted bloat from your system. I prefer using NoBloat free from market. It's cool and safe app that backups all the apps you delete so you can replace them.
Hit thanks if ^^^it^^^ helped you.

Hello all,
I would reply to the main ROM page however I need (10) posts apparently.
On to my problem..
I tried to do a clean/fresh install of GIMLO V2 into my Xperia Tipo ST21i. My Tipo has a locked bootloader. I followed the guide closely and upon reboot I get stuck at a bootloop (the Xperia Z bootscreen incidently).
I have tried numerous times to get the device to boot into CWM but it just goes on as if it isn't present (i may have missed that in the install settings).
Is there anyway to start fresh? I do not want a bricked device but it's looking that way so far..
Many Thanks,
James
Don't worry ,just flash it via androxyde flashtool and your stock ftf.or you can use SUS/PC companion to repair
hit thanks if I helped you
First off, repair your phone with PC Companion (or install stock firmware with flashtool if you know what you're doing with it).
Second, tell me exactly what you did to install it, I can troubleshoot then.

Thanks for the replies. I tried using PC Companion in Repair Mode yet I keep getting an error during the installing phase. What might be causing this..?

Many Thanks sham4u2sam,
Worked Perfectly. I also noticed that PC Companion was running and seemed to be causing Flashtool to freeze with the progress bar below the "S" of "Save Log". Closed that and now it is fixed. I just need to re-root and try again with GIMLO.
gamer649 - What would a good configuration for GIMLO be so I don't get any more issues?

All working now. I didn't follow your exact setup gamer649 but I have got it to work fine and my phone is actually faster after installing the rom :laugh:
I cannot remember my exact setup but I did use the xperia t keyboard (as it has swipe input) and xperia z gallery (which crashes a lot so I installed a new off of google play).
2010matej - I did try that in the first place and I had a bootloop although I had CWM running fine so I could re-run the setup. For this install I installed both at the same time with 0 errors. Besides having to remove the battery on the very first boot (phone bug as had to do it even with stock firmware) everything went smoothly.
Enjoying my much faster and more power efficient phone :laugh:
Thanks Gamer.. I had the exact same problem with my xperia miro.
I realised that sony make believe bootanimation caused my phone into bootloop (sadly I wanted that bootanimation )

Rooting Guide for any Android Device
Code:
*Your warranty is now void
*I absolutely disclaim all responsibilities
*I am not responsible for bricked devices, since rooting is by your own will and not mine
*You point the finger at me for messing your device up, I will laugh at you
Prerequisites
- Drivers for your phone installed on PC
- USB Debugging ON and Unknown Sources Checked
- Knowledge of your Mobile's Android Version ( e.g 4.0.4 or 4.1.1 )
What is rooting?

Pros and Cons of Rooting an Android
Pros
- Total Control over CPU Frequencies ( Under/Over clock )
- Install Stock Based Custom ROMs
- Remove Rubbish from System files
- Custom Recovery like CWM or TWRP
- Install tweaks to speed up and improve your phone ( e.g. Crossbreeder, Supercharger )
- Terminal Emulator control
- Duh! Root Access
Cons
- Your warranty may be voided
- If done wrong may result to a bricked device or bootloops
- If you overclock the device too often the battery life will deteriorate
So should I root my Android?
That is completely up to you. Rooting is for those who want to explore Android and really experiment on their phones on what to install and what not to,
Methods

Before proceeding to root make a factory data rest ....
Thus will not uninstall your 45 mb update ...
Root has to work if you make a factory reset ....
