Hello everyone,
I know this question have been discussed a looooot of times, but I'm still unable to achieve what I want.
So, I'm trying to root my Sony Xperia L, bought in Western Europe 1 month ago. I tried a lot of tutorials found on this website, like this one or this one, or Framaroot's one (I always have Error #7 with Gandalf's or Aragorn's exploit, don't know why...)
I also tried some other tutos found over the Internet, but it always fails.
Here is my config :
Sony Xperia L
Model : C2105
Android version : 4.1.2
Build number : 15.0.A.2.17
When I type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer, I can see my rooting status : "Bootloader unlock allowed", so I have hope.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks a lot !

Those two files work everytime on .17 although newer firmware is out and once that is installed, you need a different root method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503448 that works for the new firmware and might work for .17 as well
It has nothing to do with locked bootloaders your just using old tools that don't work on .17
I used this from DooMLoRD and works every time. However I'm not sure if this works with the latest firmware!

I just try the "Chinese version" described here : here
No error during install, I was able to finish the tuto ( !! )
The Kinguser app is installed but the RootChecker app tells me I'm not root... And I don't seem everything new on my phone, what's wrong ... ?
And about this tuto, the console displays
error: unknown host service
adb server is out of date. killing...
ADB server didn't ACK
But the SuperSU is installed at the end of the process.
I'm probably stupid, but I'm a C# developper (don't kill me !) and I never touch Androïd system before today, but how can I be sure I have root access ? Or how can I try to give root access to an app ?

HI GUYS!
First time to be here and a first timer on adroid phone.
I read a couple of thread regarding on how to root XPERIA ARC S 2.3.4
I tried rooting my phone using zergrush that i got from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1321582
I tried the latest version and tried it a couple of time already.
I also read about downgrading the FW to .5 or .4 something like that before i can use the zergrush and then just update it to .62 OTA
here's my result

You are sure, that you have gone through these steps before using it, right?
[*] Before u begin:

(2) enable "USB DEBUGGING"
from (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development)

Hi!
I really appreciate your response but unfortunately for me. It still doesn't work.
:crying:
I have read about articles that i need to flash it to .42 before using doomslords' zergrush.
Do i really need to do that and how?
Hi , Ive gotten hold of an Xperia S (Prototype) ,
Android Version : 2.3.7
Build #: 6.0.A.0.505
Ive been searching for a way to root the device in order to install a
newer firmware but I cannot seem to find any specific answers.
The 'rooting status' is absent (As I understand this means NO)
Has anyone successfully updated a prototype phone?
Is it possible?How do I go about it?
Ive tried DoomLord's exploit to no avail.
Ive tried flashing fw via flashtool
Im able to boot into fastboot mode
Find myself going in circles so any help would be greatly appreciated !
(BTW im on mac osx :/)
anyone?
Good day all I have a question regarding my new device which I attempted to root. I have searched these forums and can't find anyone with the same problem as mine. Running 4.4.4.
For reference, I was following this guide: http: //tinyurl.com/o6v3hqf
Everything was going swimmingly. I followed the steps in the guide exactly up to and including typing "fastboot reboot". Once I did this, my PC would no longer recognise the device that was plugged in. In addition, the Xperia M2 will not boot, the Sony logo will appear and then the screen will intermittently flash. I can boot it into recovery mode, just fine, but there is no file on my Xperia to boot from.
The next step in the guide says to install SuperSU from an SD card which I am confident I can achieve, but I am concerned that my PC won't be able to recognise my device if the root is successful (therefore I wouldn't be able to transfer over music etc).
Will my PC be able to recognise the device once the root is successful? Should there be additional steps I need to take?
Sorry if my questions seem Noob-ish this is my first smartphone.
Thank you for reading
.
Open the sim tray.
There will be a small hole. Jam a thin pen or a pin or paper click into it.
Wait a few seconds and make sure screen is off. Go into a dark room or somin. If it's not hold the pin in until it is.
Upon boot spam the down vol. as fast as you can.
It'll send you into CWM.
Then you should be able to follow into the rest.
Also using the UK and the International .ftf i was unable to root (i could but after it was bricked)
So i had to use the vietnam rom.
ALSO it was (here comes the hate m8)
You didn't read it properly and was partially your own fault. It clearly states it for 4.3.X running 18.0.A.1.30 – v01. By running a boot.img or kernel based on "completely wrong" generations you have bricked it your self.
I suggest you redo this but following this guide here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/help/tut-flashing-ftf-4-nbz-t2970145
Flash the vietnam .ftf also find out what model your phone is D2303 or D2305.
Wrong .ftf will waste a good 30mins of downloading and render your phone useless until further flashing a new rom or ftf.
Then flash the boot.img from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...2303-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-4-6-root-t2884503
The 2 posts explains it very well in the posts it selves. But don't be afraid to ask questions.
Hope I helped
Thank you for the advice. I agree I started following a guide without doing the necessary research. 100% my own fault. I will read the guide you posted and report back!
I can't find this Vietnam ftf anywhere.
My model is D2303. I have followed the above guide but flashed to Central Europe 4.4.2. I am still looking for a Vietnam .ftf file. I have found links for Malaysia and Russia, but no Vietnam yet.
I used the internal/journalists jb4.3 ftf top one in list on flashtool. Has the 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 updates waiting once booted up. I'm in UK and it works 4g n data just fine ,I Rooted 4.3 with towelroot apk (one çlick) then updated over the air twice each time checking root with root checker. Then force root with flashtool then installed SuperSU but don't update binarys in SuperSU till you have forced root and updated to 4.4.4 this was my first time ever rooting a phone too.
It helps to do your home work though i did two months reading up on here and the net it helped loads
sent from my b/l 2303 rooted on 4.4
.4
Hey guys,
Hoping you guys can help me out with my Z3 (D6603)
I have Flashed D6603_23.0.1.A.5.77.img
Also, I have completed installation of TWRP recovery and I do have ROOT access through Super SU.
I Have tried flashing two completely different ROMS (Glide & Blisspop)
But, I keep getting the same error:
---------------------------------------------------------
Installing: /sdcard/BlissPop-v3.2-z3-OFFICIAL-20150427-0047.zip
Finding update package...
Opening Update package ...
Installing Update.
This package is for D6602, D6603, D6633, DD6643, D6653, D6616, Z3, Leo
This device is Sirius
E: Error in sdcard/Blisspop-v3.2-z3-OFFICIAL-20150427-0047.zip
(status 7 )
E Installation aborted
--------------------------------------------------
Windows recognises my device as a Xperia Z2. I understand that the flash won't apply as it thinks its going on the wrong device but I don't know how to flash it right!
Help!
Thanks all
how come windows & recovery detect ur device as sirius?
if u sure urs r Z3, edit build.prop.
i recommend u to use use build prop editor from google play by JRummy.
change device to leo & model to D6603
AOSP based rom needs unlocked bootloader. make sure u knows what u doing.

Hello, i got a nice Sony Xperia X10 mini with Android 2.1 update 1 and want to update to any Android 4.4. So i choose the PureSlim R4 for Robyn with the Pure GoogleApps for my phone.
But i cant work with FlashTool 0.9.22.3 i cant root my phone. I got the errormessag: ERROR - Illegal key size or default parameters. With SuperUser and SuperSU both the same result. How to install a new flash then? Do i need an older version of FlashTool? All tutorials are with links for flashtool in GitHub. But this links are broken.
Thanks for every hint to get a newer rom to my phone. USB Debugging is activated of course.
I would also like an answer to this as just found two of these in a draw at home so would like to get a newer rom on so th kids can have them.
