Hi, I just recovered my bricked Xperia J, and I have lost root access. I do not have an unlocked bootloader and I am allowed to unlock it. I have tried many applications that allow me to unlock my bootloader (Because the official way is too time consuming) and root my phone, but they do not work. Any suggestions for apps?
This is for rooting http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe.../j-doomlord-easy-rooting-toolkit-v17-t2366577
and you don't need to unlock bootloader, but my segestion is to unlock with sony's oficial way it safest.
Didn't work

It didn't work with my Xperia J FW 11.2.A.0.31. Any other suggestions? But thanks anyway! Will continue searching.:good:
Try with Flashtool root methods one of them worked for me once. in DooMLoRD did you turn on usb debugin in dev opt? did it gave you any error? becouse it worked for me all the time.
Good luck!

Hi I have a Sony xperia s with the build number 6.0.A.3.62 but my bootloader is locked is there anyway that I can root my device on this build without unlocking my bootloader ? I'm new at this so any help is appreciated. Thank you
You could try SuperOneClick or UnlockRoot. Those are two PC based programs. You run them, plug in your phone and click the Root button, and then if it is possible to root your phone without unlocking the bootloader, one of those tools will most likely be able to do it.
If neither work, it probably isn't possible without unlocking the bootloader. But look in the device specific forum for your device for more guidance before unlocking the bootloader.
EDIT: It looks like currently you must unlock the bootloader for the Xperia S. There is no working exploit for rooting. The tools I advised above won't work. If you're not willing to unlock your bootloader, you can't root at this time.

Unlocking the the bootloader has nothing to do with rooting. See the first link in my sig.

Hi.
I'm kinda noob in this root thing. I have a Sony J with 11.2.A.0.31 and i want to install CM10 (freexperia project).
Do root and unlock bootloader the same thing? do i need to do both? or just need to follow the sony website instructions http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions?
After that? do i just have to folow these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997251?
And another question if i ever want to go back and put the phone just like i bought it, can i do it?
Thanks.

First root your phone then unlock bootloader by that solution.
But unlock bootloader will lose DRM keys permanent, Bravia Engine (not sure Xperia™ J have or not)
I recommend you to backup the DRM keys first (search how to backup the keys)
And after that just follow the instruction to install CM10.
Last you can back your phone to normal but you will lose DRM keys.(you can restore if you have backup)

So i rooted my device with this method, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472, this also instaled SuperSU.
Now following the instructions on sony website to unlock bootloader it says
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device by checking the service menu. In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu. If you have a tablet, click here to learn how access the service menu.
In your device, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

Unlock bootloader: no. There is no workaround / tespoint method yet. You can only root and use roms for locked bootloader. Cm10 needs unlocked bootloader.

Thanks, I think I'll stick with stock then. I just want cm10.

Hello recently decided to unlock the bootloader on your Xperia L by Application EZ-Unlock, but ok I see similar output unlock the bootloader yes but I did reboot and since then . not want to come in flashmod or fastboot.HELP FRIENDS!
Why u tried unlock bootloader using this untested method? You have at least two method on forum How-To unlock bootloader:silly:. If really your phone has been bricked, u can only send to service(and pay - Unlock bootloader=lost warranty)
The phone does not lose the warranty and they said on the site that I am entitled to a new

Rooting of Xperia XA requires unlocked bootloader. This is first step and it can be done by Flashtool. Without unlocking bootloader you cant root that phone.
