Thank you very much but I have found some advice and I did it and it works well. :victory:

I did everything you said and I said that I have root access, like I said in previous post. Today I downloaded an app that requires root access and it said that I cant start the app because I dont have root access. How is that possible??

Sorry, I meant to reply on other post.

Ok it was like this...I have found how to root my phone on a completely safe way. That method is called Kingo Android root. You have to download that software and install it on your comp. once when you connect your phone Kingo Android Root will find and install everything that you need to root your phone. Hope it will work.

That is pretty ****ty man. I have assumed that your phone will be supported. Unfortunately I dont know any method that will work, but you can try with some pre-rooted rom and flesh that. My first thought 'd be cyanogenmod but I dont know if your phone is supported or not. You can check that and seek for much info in this link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Main_Page

Not sure if it will work for Sola, but you may want to check out the test point metod to unlock the bootloader. You won't lose DRM. you can also relockmthe B any time you want.
fter 2 days of long hours of failure attempts, im so frustrated now. xda users say its not safe to unlock bootloader if phone's manufacturing date is over 11W29+, which will results in hard brick. my sola has date of 12W38, but i see many guide in unlocking sola's bootloader. so what the heck is all this bout? btw how to tell whether bootloader has been unlock? i used flashtool n i my sola reboot from fastboot. it seems ok(can be use) but i dono whether the bootloader is unlock......im so damn confused right now. this drives me so crazy........

Are you still looking for an answer about how to tell if bootloader is locked or unlocked?
just try to update with pc companion or update service , if it says modified software then the bootloader is unlocked , if it still continues ( cancel it ) then it means its locked.. I've not tried it but read it here.

I red a lot on the net about how to root this device.
i tried some software but nothing to works.
Have i to unlock bootloader before??

thanks,
best regard

yes I have yet this program, I've tried to talk with them on skype to know what I have to write in "serial number" case: the manual say that I need its!
did you use unlockphone to unlock bootloader too?
today the phone advised me that is possible tu upgrade at 11.0.A.4.22,
have I to upgrade or is better what we say in message 4 e 5?
does Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 able to root this firmware?
REEDIT:
ok, I did , very easy, with "unlockroot", do not need any code or serial number but it was not funny as root a chinese phon
can I updete to new firmer (11.0.A.4.22) version without lost root?

Rooting Xperia L 4.2.2

Hi community, I have flashed Android 4.2.2 Generic World FTF using Flashtool to my Xperia L C2105, now I want to root it, but I don't know, how to do it. I have found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307983 and there is reference to thread with 4.2.2 root, but I can't go on this webpage, there is some error.
Can somebody give me some tutorial how to root XL working on Android 4.2.2, or explain me?
I have also found Motochopper method, somebody told me that it is right way to root my phone, but I'm not sure because I have read somewhere that Motochopper works only on some Motorola devices.
Maybe I will sell my phone in 3-4 months so I'll need a warranty back, so there should be a way to unroot the phone.
Sorry for my english
Thanks for help, greetings.
The methods that exist to root 4.2.2 firmware on Xperia L are considered unsafe :-/ Therefore the page was removed by xda's mods
And the motochopper method you read about was meant for android 4.1
To unroot you can always restore your device to original firmware, using pc companion, Sony Update Service or flashtool
Ok, thanks. When you say, that root on 4.2.2 is unsafe, do you mean that I won't be able to flash soft back at all? But does some method to root 4.2.2 exists?

Unsafe means those software are suspected to be malicious, more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46246819&postcount=1
Okay, thanks. Someone can close the thread, nvm, I'll wait till there will appear some safe and working way to root.

You can try this method...root 4.2
Rooting using Kingoroot and vroot is risky.. It and IMEI number of your device to their server in China.. And we don't know what it does.. So be careful and don't use these 2 methods

[Q] Root sony xperia Z3

today i bought sony xperia z3 and my rooted xperia z2 with me.
i want to ask about rooting the z3 , can i use v12.1 rooting to root like z2 or shoud i wait for other version. any one try
I tried v12.1 root doesn't work
Questions belong in the questions forum. cmon man!
I'd wait for http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ to be supported.
And just so you know, all rooting is, is installing /xbin/su and /system/app/SuperUser.apk. Once you can unlock the bootloader, you should just be able to push those files to the correct spot after remounting system rw
Please post questions in the Q&A section

Not quite. In Sony devices it also means killing the RIC so that you can mount the system partition as RW. Yes, unlocking the bootloader allows for easy rooting, but a lot of Sony devices have boots that cannot be unlocked. So there are plenty of other ways to do it.
Try looking at in the Z2 or Z1 sections. There are some root methods that work on 4.4.4 but they may not work on the new Z3, But I am interested as I will be getting this device very soon....

What does that mean, "seems to be possible" ? - Working or not working ?
Did not try it myself but read somebody was successful
As some ppl in Android Development have unlocked their BL I guess it's true.
hoping for some good news :fingers-crossed:
any luck with easy root tool?

Someone who is tested ?
There is also an app available, maybe to root without a PC, like towelroot, framaroot and so on, but it's in some kind of asian language. Really don't know what it does. Can't find any documentation.
