Wouldn't it be enough to flash a stock rom which is not pre-rooted?
Anyways you can't re-lock the bootloader so it'll never be "like brand new"
But neither I have an idea of how to do it
Just wanted to let you know, what my thoughts are and see, if you knew, that bootloader can't be re-locked

But I was thinking I could do something like this: (Can´t post website....) Anyway I searched for "How To Unroot and Remove CWM Recovery on Asus Transformer". He unroots his transformer tf100 with two files.
The problem is that I need other files than he uses. Where can I find these files?

There are unroot tools in the play store

Flash stock rom with twrp and it will remove root and replace twrp with stock recovery.
Select your stock rom based on your bootloader. JB rom for JB bootloader and ICS rom for ICS bootloader.

[Q] Rooting Xperia Mini

Hi everyone. I'm new in this website and I REALLY need your help. I want to root my cell phone (xperia mini st15i), and I want if possible to give me a trustworthy video so I can root it step by step. The reason of this thread is having a video from you guys that I know I can trust. My build number is 4.1.B.0.587 Kernel version is 2.6.32.9-perf and I'm using Android 4.0.4. Hope that you'll help me and not being pain in the ass. Thanks!

There's a sub forum for xperia mini. Better to ask it in there. I had the same device one year ago. Easiest way is unlocked the bootloader and install a CWM added kernel and flash superSU zip file. There are many ways to root it without unlocking bootloader.

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.
Thank you all.

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.

[Completed] Need Correct Instructions on Rooting Galxy S5 5.0 Sprint GM900p

hello. I need the exact instructions that actually work to root my galaxy s5 5.0. the root methods on forums never work and I know exactly how to root the phone. but no one gives all the information on exactly how to do it. this is a replacement phone. I had the last version of Android rooted but the instructions on rooting that didn't work also and I had to use an app. I see where people have said you need Android bootloader but bootloader doesn't work through Odin. So can't actually put a custom recovery like TWRP on the phone using Odin. Is there another method that people aren't telling us that actually work or is there an app that can root. Had to use towelroot on my last phone because the rooting method never works. And I have been flashing ROMs for years on multiple phones so i know what needs to be downloaded. Just method can't work for everyone ununfortunately. If anyone has any information on how I can root my phone now that I'm on Android 5.0 would be much appreciated. Or if it's impossible to root the phone now that I'm on Android 5.0. If anyone can tell me that I would appreciate that too. Thnx
