[Q] Problem with rooting Miro - what am I doing wrong?!

First lemme congratulate developers for their hard work and thank them for this site, it's really full of information of any kind regarding any software/hardware problems what-so-ever! Now enough with small talk and kissing the ass: guys I really need help!
As you can all see I'm noobiest of all noobs when it comes to Android so I'm asking for straight forward answer - what am I doing wrong?! Recently I bought Experia Miro and almost instantly realized there's much to learn but I've heard of that famous rooting and got to it like fly on the crap!
I checked almost every thread you guys have and used a simple method of SuperOneClick (step by step explained in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682) and soon afterwards downloaded SDK (with update packages and all), but it seems that every time I get stuck at step #5 at which point I get that famous "waiting for device" line and then nothing!
So pretty please, with sugar and cherry on top, tell me what am I doing wrong?

forget that! just download "unlockroot" free version software!
run it and click root!
DONE
EDIT : i got the link for ya!

Great app but my rooting status says that bootloader unlock is NOT allowed :crying:

You wanted to root right? That you can do with that software. About bootloader unlocking, you should use the search function.

Not sure where to start from (as I said, I'm more then amateur in Android operations) thus I need some serious help cuzz it seems that my phone drastically declined in performance since rooting....
Even more so, I'd like to know a bit more about some processor overclocking, it seems that 800MHz and 512MB RAM just won't do the trick
Further more it says that it's not allowed to unlock bootloader and as far as I can see from post made by Sony Experia officials (http: //unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions) I won't be able to flash any custom ROMs nor Kernels?

I think there might be some ways to unlock the bootloader with status no. I don't know how but you should search or ask some developer about that!
About overclocking, you need to install a custom kernel with overclock support, but there isn't any such stable kernel for Miro. Devs still working on it.
I would suggest you to stick with the lockee bootloaders custom roms if you want performance!
Currently im using the gamerz rom and the performance is GOOD!

search in google "unlockroot" and download the program unlockroot ... i tried it on my miro and it worked ... it's free & safe

I'm using gamerz rom too

Thx everyone for trying so hard to help me but great news is that Unlockroot was success, still searching for that ROM tho. So if u got any ideas where to find one that won't f'**k up with performance and is there any way to flash it onto device without unlocked bootloader

Did unlockroot recognize ur device?

It did and I successfully rooted my device (with SuperSU and everything) but it seems I can't unloock bootloader (thus can't flash any ROM into the device).
I tried with SE Bootloader Unlocking (ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613) but it's stuck at getting the unlock code (I'm not sure if it's even possibl to fastboot my device)...

No!! The bootloader is still locked.
CyanogenMod is open and if a known dev makes a request for a branch to be made official it only needs an approval from other "official" CyanogenMod devs/board members. A review by the requested members, is all that is needed to make it an official branch.

So I don't see any nightlys up, I'm a little confused, is it so freshly supported that it hasn't been built yet?

my camera cannot record in 1080p either
i tried to flash cm10.1.3 with jbx 0.8.1 based on
1. hktw 4.0.4(220), bl version is 0.65, bmm version is 0.3.4
2. hktw 4.1.2(404), bl version is 0.65, bmm version is 0.3.4
3. hktw 4.1.2(404), bl version is 0.73, bmm version is 0.3.4
it seems nothing difference...
it is really much stable, but, i cant trust in it..., my phone crashed about 3 times in a month,
now, i flashed the cm10.1.3 based on a Asia 4.0.4, and i will let it run some day to test
btw, another question
does your phone run on cm10.1.3?
if so, what's the name of the sd card in setting->storage,
it's very strange in my phone, it's named 'connecting to xxx vpn...', not 'sd card', i dont know why and how to change it to be normal...

good attempt at trolling on atrix 2. They should have closed mouth, can not do anything better?

So what are we to expect here?

Nothing official from CyanogenMod, I'm afraid. We'd have to live with the unofficial builds only. And also, I guess, there would be no fix for 1080p recording or HDMI issues.

[Q] Building 4.3 JB for Xperia E

Hi,
First of all I believe this is a development thread, and It should probably be moved there but since I am new I was not allowed to post there.
Now I recently downloaded the entire source tree from aosp and I compiled version 4.3 JB. It went smooth and it made the appropriate system.img image. I wanted to port this to Xperia E Single Sim. I begin by first downloading CyanogenMod nanhu SS zip file and extracted the boot.img file from it (Since that's the kernel) I then wrote an extremely simple updater-script which basically flashed the system.img onto the system partition. zipped it up then ran TWRP and flashed the zip file. It asked me whether I wanted to install root and I said yes, after it installed root, I rebooted the phone and it is stuck at bootloop. I am stuck here as I do not know how to proceed to try and port this pure aosp rom to it. I hope you can shed any light on what I am supposed to do.

Haven't u use the @jjm34 cwm kernel yet?
Sent from my C1505 using xda app-developers app

Yes possibly it will be a good thread, if any developer can start developing for this device.
Sent from my C1605 using Tapatalk 2

The @jjm34 kernel is basically a Stock kernel, It's based on Sony's stock kernel, in order to run a pure aosp rom, you would have to compile a kernel yourself BASED on something. I am yet to learn how to do this, I dont know how to set up my device tree in such a way that when I run the lunch command, I should be able to build for the xperia E SS.

Why focus on a pure AOSP kernel? Just port Sony's kernel for now. Otherwise there will be a lot of problems with RIL and all..

any updates about this development? i'm really desperate getting the aosp rom for xperia e because i really don't like the sony's stock rom...

Your first post on XDA is against the rules of XDA. You should read them.
If you are so desperate you should get a different phone that has active development or develop yourself.
We do not appreciate your type of desperation here. There are more valid reasons in life to feel desperation, not having AOSP is not one of them. If you still feel this way in a couple of days I advise you seek medical help.

Dude... He just wants 4.3. TRY at least to be nice. I agree with you, it's not by the rules, but he is just really eager to test this ROM. Just wanted to say this.

It is. Only a ton of work . It would be very interesting to try to port this. Unfortunately, I only have some basic knowledge of XML's and framework editing, very, VERY basic... It would be cool to try this, but yeah...

It would be great to see 4.3 running on our E and E Dual, sorry I do not understand XML, if understood, would help him. Sorry for my horrible English, I'm Brazilian. Have a good night!

Well, your question doesnot make any sense. OTA refers to OVER THE AIR update service and this is mostly used by STOCK roms to fix bugs in your phone. THEY would NEVER show up unless, Sony officially sends an update for your phone. Some custom ROMS also have OTA which is basically the same concept.
OTA is NEVER used to flash different custom ROMS or switch from one ROM to another. This is usually achieved by recovery.
I think you have some app that is showing you ROMS for devices and of course, they wouldnot work unless they are supported by your phone!
If you think, this doesnot answer your question, kindly rephrase your question and ask again!
Good Luck!

Can we get <this> for the XL? (CM for Locked Bootloaders)

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/locked-bootloader-xperia-s-and-want-cm10-no-problem/
This thread explains everything. Is it possible to use this workaround to get CM11 working for us without unlocking the bootloader? (Even though Rachit Rawat, [NUT] and dj2tusk have found another workaround.

If someone can do that, it will be fantastic! :victory:
Unfortunately I can't unlock bootloader of my xperia l, and if this is possible then it's the only way for me to have cyanogenmod! :fingers-crossed:

They found a way to get CWM on the phone, but not running custom ROM's with a locked bootloader, so if this could be adapted, it would be cool, but their work has nothing to do with this.

Hey.
The trick is really simple. We load cm ramdisk by patching any script which is executed by init. For example /system/bin/nfc_check.
However there's one catch. Since we can't change the core zimage, the stock zimage should be compatible with cm android version. 4.1.2 = cm10 in case of Xperia S. Thus it is safe to assume that cm10.1 can be booted on L. Only thing we've to worry about are the graphic drivers. Infact, Sony 8255 device kernels could run stock, cm9, cm10, cm10.1. Android sdk version was determined by busybox GREP and ramdisk was loaded accordingly.
I'll let you know when I chalk out my plans.
