I would like to root my gf's Miro, but when I connect it, Flashtool asks me to pick a device from a list, and Miro isn't among them. Will everything be okay if I pick Tipo instead? Or which device should I pick instead?
Now, this wouldn't be a problem if this was my phone, because I'd just pick another phone and hope for the best, but my gf would be beyond furious if I messed something up, god forbid bricked her phone. So would picking Tipo or another model be 100% safe?
By the way, I'd like to downgrade to the previous firmware, root it, then flash back the newer one.
Thank you!

you already installed
Sony companion software to your PC, so that Flashtool can detect your phone.
Enable debugging mode on your phone (Setting>developer options) & enable unknown sources (Setting>security)
Connect your phone with usb and if prompt to select your device

Flashtool still doesn't recognize it as a Miro, but it tells me to pick my device from a list, which doesn't feature Miro, only the other Xperias.
My question: Can I safely pick another type of Xperia when Flashtool prompts? If yes, which one should I pick?

Disconnect phone from usb. Open flashtool. Get your fw files in Flashtool. Select the needed fw and click ok. Flashtool should bring up a window how to connect your phone. Oh and you should put your .ftf files in (flashtool folder)/firmwares

That's also the newest, 11.0.A.5.5
I'd like to flash the 11.0.A.2.10 fw, root it with Bin4ry's app, then flash back to 11.0.A.5.5, that way, root will remain, or at least afaik this is a working method. I could root my Sola the same way (downgrade, root, upgrade), so I'm guessing it would work here too.
The only thing I'd like to know if there is any dangmer associated with me telling Flashtool that the Miro is, I don't know, a Tipo or J. Will it mess up the flashing process? I of course have the correct Miro firmwares in ftf-s.

Get the UnlockRoot. There's a free version to download.
Uncheck the toolbars in the install.

Install PC Companion to install the drivers.
Make sure your device is recognized by the PC before running the UnlockrRoot.

you also need to go to settings, xperia, connectivity and in usb connection mode make sure you select MSC and not MTP. hope this helps. I had the same problem as you and managed to root my phone only after changing that option. cheers

hi firends i down this stock kernel ftf also donwload flash tool and sony pc companion but sony pc companion no show me new update co i want do this manually
but after turn off my phone and boot into this mode with volume down i see green light but windows always show me that my mobile is not recognized i also do ADB driver adb driver fastmood also there is i think another one but nothing so what can i do ?
my device is not rooted
Hello dany00711,
Well, first of all I want to say something! Please learn to spell correcty, and do you know the meaning of the word grammar?
But I will try to help you. So you can't install the latest firmware for the Xperia E single? Allright. Can you send me the link from where you downloaded the stock .ftf? Maybe it's a incorrect or corrupt file! Please do that, and try to flash again with Flashtool. You don't need any drivers installed for flashing! Only the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers. I know you did this, but check it. and try again. Meanwhile please send the link.
Have a nice day!
this file is Stock Kernel Xperia E C1505_11.3.A.2.23.ftf 5.6 MB i have all this drivers installed but still not works it show me always your device is not recognized
Dude... It is a firmware... A firmware can't fit into 5.1 MB...
Here you have a proper .ftf file: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8naZAFW2NP3NEJERTZ3aTZJbTg/edit?pli=1. It's 392 MB, that's a proper size for a firmware file! Download, put in in in the Firmwares folder in Flashtool. And just flash it with Flashtool. Many tutorials are circling the internet, so it is very easy.
And make sure to install the the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers again.
Cheerios. Hope it works!

Before I help you any further, do you know the meaning of the word punctuation? Please, try to make proper sentences, because it makes it a lot easier to read your post, and to understand the problem you are facing!
So, have you followed everything in this tutorial? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
Just try it oncemore, and if you keep failing to flash, then it's time to use another computer. Perhaps from a friend, or a borther/sister. If this still isn't working, then I'm out of options. Perhaps other people might know other things to do, but we'll see!
Goodluck! And check this site: http://www.wikihow.com/Use-English-Punctuation-Correctly.

Hello there,
This is my first post on this forum, and I'm kinda new.
I've rooted many of my previous devices including XPERIA U, X10 Mini Pro, Samsung Galaxy S Duos, Galaxy Grand Duos etc. and I've never had any problem. But XPERIA L has been creating troubles for me, so I had to signup in the forum and ask few questions.
What is the difference b/w C2104 and C2105?
I understand C2105 is newer, and better... but how do I update to this firmware?? Can I upgrade via PC Companion or do I have to use FlashTool? Can someone give me a link to a tutorial that could help me or written text step by step?
I'm unable to root my XPERIA L on C2104. I've tried each and every method, none of them works. I even tried Framaroot, NO LUCK. How do I root it? Do I have to upgrade to C2105 firmware version in order to upgrade?
Any help would be kind
I'm new so I'd love to clear my doubts - sorry for troubling ya'll.
With motochopper

About MotoChopper, I'll try in a few minutes and tell you.
Sorry to bother you with all those silly questions.

Well sadly, I have no luck. I tried with XPERIA L Root and MotoChopper, but it shows:-
Code:
Waiting for device..
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
I have enabled USB debugging mode also, wonder why this is happening! I really wanna root my device. What do I do guys?

C2104 and C2105 ftf are both same, just basebands are different. If you flash a C2105 ftf without excluding basebands then you will permanently brick your radios and hence lose network. For rooting install proper drivers like adb, Sony Companion does that and if you fail use Flash tool for drivers, also if you are using Windows 8 then use Google to find out how to install drivers.

Hey shivam,
Thank you for replying and I extremely apologize for bumping in the thread after a long time, I actually was very busy b/w these days. What I simply want is to root my XPERIA device. It seems that Flashtool will help me out.. and yeah, about drivers, they're installed in my computer already; I'm using a Windows 7 PC.
Can anyone kindly provide me the link to download the latest version of Flashtool? The official website is down, I guess - it's not opening for me.
I'll try root my C2104 with Flashtool and respond you guys.
Thank you for your quick responses, you all surely rock.

I have updated my phone to the latest version, and I haven't unlocked my bootloader.
Can I still root my XPERIA L using DooMLoRD's rooting kit v17?
Motochopper for version 2.17 Far as I know it only work motochopper.
@OP
just yesterday I was in the same boat as you are .
I'm successfully running vengeance + Clean n Tweaked now.
Anyway, I'll try to tell you a few things that I did not know and helped me a lot.
* Install Fastboot and ADB from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
[I did not use that cuz I have the whole Android SDK]
* Remember these keys:
-- While plugging in phone to the PC =
Vol up = FastBoot Mode
Vol down = Flash Mode
-- After you have CWM installed
When you start the phone and Sony logo starts showing keep pressing volume down and you will get into CWM Recovery
* Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307983 to root.
It definitely works. Keep doing the partial root part until SuperSU loads the binary successfully. Remove SuperSU and restart between each try.
* Get Flash Tool from http://www.flashtool.net/ and not the Official Sony Flash Tool
* If you have C2104 use C2104 stuff ONLY and NOTHING ELSE.
* The firmware update is very huge so I downloaded it from https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B16rNZZxP33EdXhfNml1ZjBFNXc/edit and used the Flashtool to flash it
What else do you want to know? I'll help as much as I can.
Well what I want to know is whether I can root it with DoomLord's rooting kit v17 or not.
Here's a summary of my device:-
I have C2104 with the latest software / system updated via PC Companion.
I tried rooting using Motochopper, which failed.
I tried framaroot, which failed again.
I really need to root my device.
Thanks ya'll for replying..

I'm sorry but I don't remember if I tried DoomLord's. Even if I did I don't think It worked for me.
I didn't try framaroot cuz according to the thread it's for the older firmware. Might work for the newer one too but I didn't risk it.
Since you have the firmware now just keep trying MotoChopper via the thread I have given you the link to. It will work.
Also, post a log/screenshot of what you get when you run it in your PC.
Sure buddy,
Will give you in few 1-4 hours.
Thank you for your assistance.
No luck yet again..
I Installed after following the rooting steps using XPERIA_L_ROOT, and then installed SuperSU, which says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!".
I guess that says to "UNLOCK BOOTLOADER".
Any possible way to root WITHOUT actually unlocking bootloader?
