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.

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

Hello XDA! Today I have come seeking help.
I own a D2303 M2 with a locked bootloader without root sitting on Kk 4.4.2,and I want to downgrade to 4.3 so I can hopefully use towelroot to root.
Here comes the main problem/question:
I'm running the on the UK exclusive 'EE' network. If I flash a stock ROM with the wrong carrier,will I be kicked off of my carrier network? I can't seem to find a 4.3 ROM that begins with the build number 18.3.C and EE to stay on the safe side. If anyone could upload or point me in the general direction of one,that would be great!
Thanks in advance, (hopefully)
Just another JB noob
Someone please help me, i can't update my SuperSU to remove root from my phone (Sony Xperia Z Ultra with android version 4.4.4). I want to upgrade my phone to Lolipop via sony official website but i can't update coz i've rooted before that ofricial update release. I've used king user to root. Please advise me .. with repest to all
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I've found this with someone with the same problem and a solution, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/help/failing-ota-update-unroot-108-t2801833. Since Android 5.x you have to be 100% stock system, recovery, and kernel for the OTA to work.

For a class project I decided to load a custom ROM on my Sony Xperia J ST26a. I have bought it from Bell and the way my contract and phone is set up when I enter *#*#7378423#*#* --> Service Info --> Configuration --> Rooting Status : bootloader unlock allowed: No
Is there an easy way around this?
I'm not doing a kernel just a simple stock ROM like XperiaPremiuM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/cm10-ultimate-xperia-premium-v3-xperia-t2159103)
I am running on 11.2A.0.33 firmware and android version 4.1.2
Everything I have previously looked at and tried hasn't worked such as the DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 (I do realize this has more than likely been patched)
Please help and fast. Project is due in 2 weeks
(Sorry abut my n00bness is this looks bad or isn't visually appealing)
If you asking how to root, last time i rooted J it was with Flashtool, but don't remember which one of root methods i use.
Good Luck.
Xperia M2 D2303 on K.K. 4.4.4
