- @AndroPlus and japanese developer, キューブキューブ @cubeundcube for posting rootkitXperia ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559009 )
Great job people - I really appreciate your work for entire community.
Remember - don't bother me, if you do anything wrong and brick your device - you are doing this at your own responsibility.
/ -- /
Let's begin rooting our Xperia E3 D2203! I will show you my way to root:
0. Make backup and load up the battery (at least 60%), download and install flashtool ( http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php ), download and install Sony PC Companion (to provide drivers)
1. Obtain your firmware's FTF file (easiest way is to use XperiFirm)
and this firmware: http://uploaded.net/file/f1wll17r (it's Xperia M2 JellyBean kernel) ,
and copy them to: %userprofile%\.flashtool\firmwares ( for WinXP %userprofile% leads to c:\documents and settings\username; in Win Vista and laters: to C:\Users\username )
2. Turn off the phone
3. Connect it to USB cable with Vol- tapped. Make sure that all drivers have been installed successfully and disconnect USB (this is one-time step, if you have ever flashed your phone you probably don't need to do this again)
4. Run flashtool, click thunder icon, select flashmode, choose 18.5.C.0.19 firmware and click Flash

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Connect USB with Vol- tapped when asked by flashtool
6. Wait until flashtool ends flashing (you will see messsages like this:
INFO- Ending flash session
INFO- Flashing finished.
INFO- Please unplug and start your phone)
then disconnect phone from usb, power on and wait to boot
7. Go to menu > settings
8. Go to about phone, tap few times on 'compilation number' to enable programmer settings. Go there, enable mock location (may be not nessesary) and USB Debugging
9.Go to security settings, turn ON unknown sources and turn OFF verify apps
10. Plug in USB to ensure that all drivers are installed properly (especially Sony ADB Interface driver)
11. Download giefroot_debug_D2203_modded.zip file ( https://mega.co.nz/#!sscXQKwB!qOIv2a70SH6UAM8vhySQIeEcYXrkkXXfh_X98q5rdDk ) unzip it and run install.bat
12. IMPORTANT STEP - make sure you allowed permanently to debug from your PC, when window appears
13. giefroot will inform you, that rooting has failed - that's OK - it was only to ensure, that your pc is allowed to debug
14. Now we have our phone prepared. Turn it off.
15. In flashtool click thunder icon, select flashmode
16. Select Kernel from Jelly Bean firmware
17. Connect to USB with vol- tapped and wait for flashtool to finish, disconnect USB
18. Power on your phone - you will see Xperia logo for a 1 seconds or 2, but it disappears and you will see only black display - that's ok - it's expected behavior.
19. Wait about 30 seconds and connect USB - make sure that Windows installs driver for ADB Interface Driver (you can ignore MTP driver prompts)
20. Download rootkitXperia ( https://mega.co.nz/#!Mt1zkAyQ!Z2Wg9xQyNCbPt6ksS-Dw76-ifSb_lGvQbFK7zP0yJ9E ), unzip rootkitXperia_20140719.zip and run install.bat
21. Wait for commands: done root command, wait 10 seconds...
22. When you see rebooting message, disconnect from usb, take out back cover, and push off button with needle. After that turn on the phone,at black screen wait 30 seconds and, after that, plug in USB
23. when rootkitXperia ends, you will see message all finished - turn phone off again with button under the back cover (as in step 22)
24. Now we need to restore D2203 kernel
25. Go to flashtool, thunder icon, flashmode, choose firmware from point 4, but BE CAREFUL! - select all things as this is showed on screenshot below: tick OFF wipe cache, data, tick ON exclude bootbundle, partition, ta, fota, baseband, system, elabel - you should see only two files: kernel.sin and loader.sin in content section
26. Now click flash, connect phone to usb with vol-, wait until flashtool finishes, disconnect usb and turn on the phone
27. When phone boots, connect again usb, go to giefroot_debug_D2203_modded.zip content again and run install2.bat
28. When script ends, update su binary with superSu and reboot You have now root access and RW permissions to / and /system

Yop,
Thank you ! ♥ I will try this.

Unfortunately, after doing every step as it is written, after flashing Xperia M2 kernel, phone just won't boot. Sony logo dissapears after 2 seconds and screen is black for long time and it won't boot at all.
I have D2203 with locked bootloader and not allowed to unlock..

It may be possible - but you need to risk and try. Just in points: 4 and 25 use your D2212's FTF instead of D2203.

Maybe you should add this as a new root method. http://db.tt/mbbkCXdY yes, its in chinese simplified (set your regional settings to chinese prc to see things properly). Just go on with the typical installer button layout > back,next,cancel. After install complete, just click that big green root button (right side). Sorry no screenshot for now. Tested working (i test it myself): alcatel onetouch glory 2s 4010x, galaxy chat b5330, tipo st21i v27. Maybe it will work e and e dual. Way better than unlockroot.

I dont have J JB to test it. But according to chinese description inside, it should work up to 4.2 as long the drivers is correctly install.
thyl_: Official version of unlockroot do have trojans and some hidden installer. There is no way to get a clean offline version from unlockroot.com. These days, unlockroot depends too much on internet connection (i found out its redirecting to 007root.com - free root from china). Good way sucking money for us to buy pro.

Just wanted to say that rooting using this method worked on my Miro build number 11.0.A.5.5
however i didn't try to unlock the bootloader,

How to unlock your Xperia device bootloader

Hi bro, i just wanna help those people who wanna unlock their phone bootloader. Why you need to unlock your phone bootloader? To install some custom rom like FreeXperia's CyanogenMod 10, or Custom Kernel. First, all you need is :
1. Rooted phone. See my guide here
2. Have the driver, you can install PdaNet from my guide or Sony Companion
3. Install the flashtool from Androxyde github
YOUR PHONE WARRANTY NOW VOID!
THIS PROCEDURE DOES A FACTORY RESET ON YOUR PHONE. YOUR DATA, MESSAGES, CONTACTS, OR ANY APPLICATIONS WILL BE DELETED, AND IT WILL INSTALL A STOCK ROM LIKE THE FIRST DAY YOU BOUGHT YOUR PHONE. PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP FIRST IN CWM, I DONT OWN ANY BLAME
Make sure your phone is allowed to be unlocked. Here is the guide :
Dial *#*#7378423#*#*, then go to Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If the Bootloader Unlock Allowed is yes, you can continue If not, please dont ask me. If you want to unlock your phone, go to your service center
THE UNLOCKING STEPS IS :
1. Dial *#06# and takes a note of your IMEI on notepad or anything. This is needed for our next step
2. After install Flashtool, go to Drivers folder and click on Install-Drivers.exe or something like that. In the steps, you need to install your Xperia XXX (XXX is your phone model), Flashboot driver, and flashmode driver. [If your phone is Miro, select the Tipo driver]
[IF YOU ARE ON WIN7 / WIN8, when you're on booting your pc, push the F8 button, and select Disable Digital Signature]
3. Go to Unlock Bootloader website, and enter your phone IMEI here.
If you got a warning like this, then delete your last IMEI character

Hi, sorry for the late reply. You must have already installed CWM/TWRP (choose one). And how to enter CWM/TWRP? Just restart your phone, when the Sony logo is appearing, try to tap the volume down button repeatedly and fast. If you didnt understand, please search it on this forum

When you first boot your pc, suddenly press the F8 button, or you can go to Charm menu -> Settings -> Change PC Settings -> go to General -> Scroll down 'till you find Advanced Startup. Then select the one who have "Disable Digital Signature Check of Driver" or something
Nice, but I think it should be in the development forum, and also add a link to a CWM install tutorial.
i think you need to post more info about this
like Bootloder BackUp / ReLock / is that possible / how to do it
Thank You
Why is rooted phone required???

[Q] Sony Xperia J bootloader unlock problem

Hey,
I have a problem with unlock the bootloader. I saw that there are a lot of problem, but I didn't find any good idea.
I have Sony Xperia J(4.2.1) with kernel 11.2.A.0.21. I tried the official steps, but I have a little bit problem with the fastboot mod I think. The official website write that the fastboot button is the Volume up button, but when I tried it the command window has frozed while it wrote me that: << waiting for device >> like this: http://kepkezelo.com/images/g4yxuosyez5vrgq07nky.jpg
Then I tried to unlock the bootloader with the flashtool but it's frozed too like this: http://kepkezelo.com/images/el7v56a56qw7dpzwwvfs.jpg
I tried it with usb debugging on and tired too when it was off. I tired to change the firmware to ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE and of course it was bad too. Somebody could help me please?
Regards,
Mark Puskas

Can you please follow the first two steps from the official Sony page please?
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.

Download the firmware file from here: http://d-h.st/PsQ
Download flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.io/ (DON'T change the install path)
1) Install flashtool and install the drivers from the path C:\Flashtool\drivers
2) Download the firmware file and move it to the path C:\Flashtool\firmwares
3) Close any processes related to PC Companion whilst in Task Manager.
4) Disconnect your phone from the computer.
5) Click the lightning bolt, select your firmware from the new window. DON'T change any of the settings, click OK.
6) Wait for the file to finish preparing. Flashtool will then ask you to connect your device in flashmode.
7a) Take your battery out of your phone.
7b) Connect the large end of your USB cable to your computer
7c) Connect the small end of the USB cable to your phone while holding volume down (-).
7d) Put your battery back in whilst still holding volume down (-) (a green LED should come up).
8) Wait for flashtool to finish flashing your phone.
9) Enjoy android 4.0.4

I tried this firmware, but it isn't work for me. After I installed, on a my phone the Xperia text is frozed. However I tried some another:
ST26i_11.0.A.3.28_WE
ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE
ST26i_11.2.A.0.31_CE
Xperia J _4.0.1_Orange PL
ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_GENERIC
but all of them don't working except one: ST26i_11.2.A.0.31_CE. I have to acknowledge that I'm not able to root my phone. Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Mine say yes but when i try to unlock, I couldn't. when i type fastboot.exe command in platform tools folder it shows waiting for device forever

[Q] How to flash stock rom/firmware on a bricked Xperia C?

After moded my xperia c to add bravia engine, I was stuck on boot animation. The phone was not in USB debugging mode since I was trying to mod it after a recent software update using sony pc companion. Tried flastool, SP Flashtool, SUS & Pc companion to repair it but everything just don't work. Is there any other way to repair it other than sending it to service centre?

Have you tried the "repair my phone/tablet" option on the pc companion? if not try it. it worked for me. turn-off your xperia c. make sure it's turned-off. open sony pc companion. connect your phone to your pc via usb. click on the start button on the support zone box/tab. click start on the phone/tablet software update. click the "repair my phone/tablet" link. the blue text with an underline. follow the onscreen instruction.
Try Sony Update Centre.. Just make sure your fastboot & flashboot drivers are properly

I had tried both of your suggestion but unfortunately it does not work for me. I end up sending it to Sony service centre yesterday. Finger crossed now and hope for the best.
just got my xperia c today from sony service centre. luckily they did not know I had rooted my phone and they did not charge me for repairing it. :victory:
sorry for being late
and i know op has got his phone repaired
but this is for the future usage
if any one who stuck at boot logo or any where and wants to reflash firware using sony tool
follow below steps
as our phone's batter is non removable its quite odd but once u understand its easy
first understand this
to use sony tool we have to connect our phone in flash mod to pc
and
and to do so remove back cover and connect your phone in any mod with pc via usb cable
and then press hardreset button
so that your phone will reboot and connect in charging mod
now remove data cable so your phone will turn off
now that your phone is turn off every thing is done
you just need to sony update tool open it and connect your phone in flash mod
and taadaa
its done :victory:

i already tried on
1. Pc companion (error: no new update avialable for your phone),
2. EMMA (error: bootloader locked)
may be there is a chance for flashing with flashtool , where to get sony xperia c firmware (.ftf) file?
** may be one big chance is restore original build.prop with CWM using update.zip.
** my xperia came with "android recovery 3e " and its all time shows "installation aborted" with update.zip file........... so do u know how to install CWM with flash boot or any other way???

Change program interface to ENGLISH by going to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\完美刷机
or if you are 32bit system:
C:\Program Files\完美刷机
and renaming the folder named [language] to [language_x]
(without brackets)
