[Q] Sony Xperia Root (Kingo ROOT) Please Help ! - General Questions and Answers

Hello guys, i have Sony Xperia E4g phone and i want to root it. This phone is new brand and as i research there is no more way to root it other than Kingo Root (A few comment and one video (for E4) confirms that it can root E4g) but the question is in my mind:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516942
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2604749
Those two links...
First link is says its unsafe (malware) but it will be analyzed, someone will research about it.. no offical ending about research
Second link says its safe with Kingo Root declration
Guys, say me, i belive that the correct and safe answer on the web just this forum, xda forums,
So, is Kingo Root safe, can i root my device with no worries ? (collecting user data, malware etc) Please experinced users, or any user who try and research it
(dipnote:if there is a safer maybe offical way to root Xperia E4g i will be glad about it)
Thank you
Note to mod: i did not found dedicated part for my device at the forum, so i thought "General" will be ok, sorry

How to root? How to root?
Have you checked the forum for the xperia e, there are many ways to root the xperia. Since I am so Kind I'll tell you right know!
Download Kingo Android Root and Install it (google it)
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled on your xperia e. Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging.
Open Kingo Android Root and Plug your phone in, the program will install drivers if you haven't already!
Then Click on Root and let it finish and your rooted!
Yes i checked the forums and I didn't find anything. Anyway, I was pessimistic about Kingo Android Root but I have research a little and I found out that this program is efficient. I have downloaded it and it is working fine. I have rooted my E. Thank you man! :good:
RE:how to root sony xperia E
I did everything you said and I said that I have root access, like I said in previous post. Today I downloaded an app that requires root access and it said that I cant start the app because I dont have root access. How is that possible??

Yes, you are right ... no device specific forum for it ... yet.
You can request to create a new forum for it here: General discussion > About xda-developers.com > *** New Device Forum Requests ***.
But keep in mind that xda can not create a dedicated forum for all devices available on the market.
You can always post your question about devices without a specific forum here: General discussion > Questions and Answers.
Or for modifying/rooting things here: General discussion > Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking.
I think the last forum is the best place in your case.

[Completed] [Q] Help request- Rooting Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S LT18A

I Know I aleady posted a thread like this, but it was closed before a found a solution, please dont close this one too!
I have an old smartphone (model specified above), which I have tried to find a root for it (like FOREVER), every single root I found wasn't able to do the job. Either the program alerted me that the phone is not supported , or tried to root and failed. I have looked into other threads with the same problem, and they either didn't have a solution, or simply directed me towards stickys with rooting programs that also didn't work.
I want to root it so I can uninstall some of the build-in apps that I dont use (such as facebook, youtube, and out-of-date & un-updateable operator apps.). They function poorly, take up space, and worst of all: they run in the backround (and on old phones such as this every megabyte of RAM counts.) Please help me.
Is there something I'm missing? A vital step a skip or something? Do i need to unlock the bootloader to root?
I probably have a custom ROM of the operator this phone was originally purchased from, does it make any difference?
If Anyone can explain to me step-by-step what and how to root, or point me to a usefull guide, i will be forever thankful.
The file attached is a example to one of many failed roots.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S LT18a
Firmware version: 2.3.4
Build:4.0.2.D.0.5
