yes im rooted. is that a problem? do i need to unroot?
As Gabboxxx said, download xperia l FTF 1.53.A.1.14 and flash it trough flashtool, with flashtool you can flash it without wiping your data.
No you dont need root or unlocked bootloader to flash trought flashtool, and it's not a problemm if you are rooted.

I am just about to download the world firmware(i guess it makes no diff, just languages)and want to ask, how do I flash it to the tipo?what should i do after (if it flashes)?
Dont worry... the firmware will work just fine... tested it myself. Just use flashtool(google it out) to flash the ftf of your ftf to the phone. Root it using binary method and follow the procedure descrobed in other thread to get root on the latest firmware. Tried ot amd now i am rooted with ocz version of 11. 0. a. 4. 22

Does downgrading with flashtool work with locked bootloader? Please can you confirm that? What does "ocz version mean"?

Yes it does, you only need an unlocked bootloader if the ROM you're gonna use is using a different kernel than your stock firmware.
Ocz is jst the version of latest firmware available here...

Can anyone tell me if I should untick wipe data and wipe cache or keep them on for flashing?
Do not uncheck them.let them get deleted else your phone will keep on rebooting after the flashing is complete
Sent from my ST21i using xda premium
Forgot to mention one important thing.you have to check wipe data and wipe cache options obly while downgrading to older firmware.after pushng in the root files just upgrade tocthe latest firmware and make sure not to check wipe data this time.

Thanks, can you link the guide on which files to insert, and how should I update to latest fw?
And one more thing: MSC or MTP mode while flashing?
Vibrator seems to stopped working, vibrate on touch doesn't work anymore, and it doesn't even vibrate in service menu on vibrator.
Also when I lock my screen I can't come out of it again, help?
EDIT:It seems the phone stopped working with vibrate/lock as soon as i put the perm root files on it from the miro thread, which apparently works for every phone.I will stay at .16 as I don't need an sms counter.Thanks for your trouble people.
i had the same problem, i downgraded the firmware, root it, than flash it with the latest firmware and the root dont work now it says there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it ,this is a problem?? what should i do
yup

same issue as cipjanin. i downgraded to 11.0.A.0.16 (checked wipe cache and data) and rooted perfectly. reflashed to 11.0.A.4.22 and unchecked "wipe data" and "wipe cache" but root is lost.
balboarocky, did you do the exact same steps as we did?
while downgrading try uncheck wipe and cache and after root it, upgrade via SUS not fabric restore+ upgrade, just upgrade (keep user data)..

Root and CWM for Xperia J Finally!
Thanks to srl3gx and Bin4ry for their awsome work!
and ME for taking risk!
Make sure u are in 11.0.A.3.28 or 11.0.A.3.18 firmware ALONE with Locked Bootloader..
This method Dosent Work on 11.0.A.7.5 Firmware! (working on it! )
for .28 firmware download from here and flash it
if u dont have a flash tool download it from here for windows and install drivers located in C:\Flashtool\drivers (choose all drivers)
since flash tool does not have xperia j drivers..u may hav flashing problem...for that
1.download and extract d ST26.zip ive uploaded
2.open flash tool
3.click devices>import
4.navigate to d file u've extracted
5.now xperia j driver is installed
u can now flash without problems
Now back to rooting...
Root first! thn apply CWM!
Steps for Rooting:
1.extract Root_J.zip
2.make sure 'usb debugging' is enabled in devolpment settings
3.double click Runme.bat file for windows users...runme.sh for linux users
4.wait for process to finish (mostly should work)
Steps for CWM:
1.extract CWM_J.zip
2.'usb debugging' on
3.double click 'install.bat' only for windows (linux not working! my bad..)
4.wait for it.....installed! close the shell program and switch off the phone..
Plug in charger or USB....the phone switches on....press up and down volume keys repeatedly when SONY logo flashes.....voila u get into CWM!
You need plugged in charger or USB to goto CWM! Else CWM wont Work!!
reboot to system and see if supersu is installed finish! ur phone is rooted and cwm is installed !!
CWM has little bugs ..but its a never mind stuff..
use arrow keys to navigate..power button to select and 'go back' option in cwm itself to go to previous options.
Comment if it worked for you...let others know!
Tested on my xperia J and Miro
Dont restore factory setting or else CWM will vanish...n u hav to reflash whole firmware again
for questions and problems ask srl3gx
HOPE I HELPED...hit thanks
Sorry for the last update! It Dindn't Work for many devices!
wow finally it arrived.
Anyone tried this already?

Followed your instructions on my Experia J. I have build 11.0.A.3.18 (UK on orange/EE). I decided against flashing to 3.28 and to try with 3.18, but to get the Flashtool working I did the following:
Once the ST26.zip file is extracted (using Winrar) I then have to open this extracted file again in WinRar to get the files that should live at C:\Flashtool\devices\ST26 (loader.sin etc.). I then had to copy the original file ST26.ftd to c:\Flashtool\devices. I enabled USB debugging in the Developer settings on the phone and Flashtool started working properly.
I was able to root and CWM the device as per your instructions on buiild 11.0.A.3.18. Cheers.
The major problem with this CWM method is that it's designed for the Tipo, so when you try to flash a zip made for jlo, it fails. I had to remove the assert from the top of the scrip to flash with this.
Thanks for trying on .18 firmware... I'll update d thread

Have you tried flashing a compiled ROM? It fails as the CWM thinks it's on a Tipo device.
Plus if you wipe your system partition, you lose CWM, it's not a good solution. I've posted a CWM as a boot.img in my CM10 thread

OK, plus this will work for people who cannot unlock their bootloader. But perhaps you should put a warning as some people may want to wipe their system partition before they restore a backup (which will work) but if they for what ever reason try to reboot the phone they will be lost and will have to restore via flashtool!
thanks for report...updatd
very good work thx!

Any help?
Yea im the same 11.0.A.7.5 cant you flash the phone with older firmware?
Okay i flashed that firmware from first page and now my phone is rooted thanks alot
If we can get ftf file of 11.0.A.7.5 firmware and flash it with Flashtool without wiping data (just wiping cache) maybe we don't loose root... but where can we found that ftf file???
After reset factory, I restore my app+system data by Titanium Backup, and it request reboot phone, I reboot and it reboot loop!
What should I do now? My phone is rooted and has not unlock bootloader yet! Is there anyway to hard reset by using hardware buttons?

Hi...
A new update is now available for Sony Xperia E C1505 device. The new software update is namely version 11.3.A.2.13.
Based on Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
This Root methode only for Unlocked Bootloader Device
* Tick on Unknown source (Go to setting-security)
* Tick on USB Debugging (Setting-dev options)
* Download flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/download.html)
* Download kernel+CWM for 11.3.A.0.47 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276943)
* Download SuperSU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053)
or you can download superuser (http://androidsu.com/superuser/) (but i prefer superSU)
* Extract kernel.sin (from 11.3.A.2.13) then make it to ftf file with flashtool
if you dont have any ftf you can download over here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409632) or download this kernel ftf (https://mega.co.nz/#!lQ4wWLjI)
Usage instructions
Flash kernel A.0.47 +cwm boot to fastboot with script :
Code:
fastboot flash boot <filename>.elf
or direct via flashtool (fastboot mode-select kernel to flash-reboot device into system)
Reboot and press Vol Up (you will enter CWM Recovery)
Flash zip SuperSU
Format cache and Wipe Dalvik then reboot
Turn off then boot to fastboot and flash again new kernel A.2.13
Reboot and Enjoy so you can throw every bloatware apk
Note :
if you come from another way rooted this new firmware, i suggestion you to flash again your firmware first then follow my instructions
No More Lag after root tested by me
Credit :
Thanks to androxyde n friends for Flashtool
Thanks to jjm34 for kernel A.0.47 +cwm
Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSU
Thanks to UltraGamerHD for ftf
Thanks to all xda member

Is up to you buddy
But I suggest you to upgrde new firmware cz sony has improved more features on xperia e
If you unlocked bootloader so dont use PCC or SUS to upgrade your firmware, you must be on locked bootloader then upgrade. Via PCC/SUS
Or stay unlocked then upgrade via flashtool
Enjoy
it shows..the devive must be rooted first...and ...please check the log level

nope, i had to use the kernel trick on my .23 version
So i have a spare uk virgin branded d2303 i flashed the 4.3 ftf unlocked the BL and also rooted it all but when i try to flash the 4.4.2 ftf file i get bootloop i have tried 4 times to no avail abd yes i did untick kernel.sin from the exclude menu is there a work around?
Can anyome with a d2303 confirm if this works?
1. Install CWM of any variants of Xperia M2 (D2305, D2306)
2. Flash supersu file and then turn off the phone, not reboot
3. Flash stock kernel by Flashtool

all tuts tell me to untick kernel.sin
Maybe it's a root tutorial. Btw, to recover from bootloop, u can just leave everything default or untick data, applog, cache, and partition if u wanna keep ur data. But once it's booted it's a stock firmware without root.
