root your xperia tipo without downgrading
Many peoples claimed root for last Xperia Tipo update (both International 11.0.A.4.22 and Vodafone 11.0.A.4.25)because of the boost of performances of the phone. With this 2 updates the antutu benchmark app shows an increased value of score.DISCLAIMER: if your phone becomes a brick I'm not responsible of the damage.
1. Unlock your bootloader from xperia developers site (search on google)
2. Download freeXperiaProject CM10
3. Do a backup of your firmware from Sony Ericsson Update Service, copying the entire folder of Sony Ericsson update service to another folder.
Download flashtool from the link at the bottom of the post
Convert you files using Decrypt files function from the Tools menu of flashtool, selecting the folder where you saved files from Sony Ericsson Update Service
Select the 3 files having the beginning of the name FILE_
Add all the list of files to move them on the right
It will create a ftf file to flash from flashtool
Put it into the folder firmwares of flashtool
open it with win rar and save kernel.sin
From now follows these steps carefully.
Put the kernel.sin and the boot.img into you fastboot's root folder (example android-sdk-windows/platform-tools)
Shut down your xperia tipo
Press volume up key and keep it pressed when connecting your USB cable
Go on fastboot and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img
Type fastboot reboot
When the led becomes pink press the volume up key a lot of times
You should be into cwm recovery
Download the SuperSu flashable zip for universal root (link at the bottom of the post)
put it into your sdcard by mounting it (recovery will mnount external sd via usb)
unmount your usb and mount system, then go to install zip from sdcard -> apply zip from external storge (or sdcard)
apply the SuperSu zip
Detach you usb cable and remove the battery for about 30 seconds
reinsert battery and do not power on yyour device; press the fastboot volume up button and connect the usb cable
go back to fastboot and type fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
You are done, reboot your tipo and enjoy it rooted!

@Raproid especially
Nice tutorial. Did root before this, but I can say those are the steps required and proved working.
Now, how to achieve working init.d? Tried universal init.d and init.d toggler but none worked for me. Any good guide you can point me?
Thanks again!

Nope e4 has it,s diffrent kernel.
Sent From My Sony Xperia E3 D2212 using XDA app.
Thanks for this. Got my phone rooted but it was soft bricked as the boot.img file supplied i think is only for the D2212. Im using the single Sim LTE variant and had to get the img file from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2964845) in order to get my phone working again.
Thanks again for the work and dead easy instructions. Maybe just add the other boot.img file
RootingE3
Is it important to install custom recovery?...i want to root without installing custom recovery
This method can also unlock the devices who have "Allow Bootloader Unlock: NO" ?
I'm asking because my father has an E3 2203 wiht locked bootloader and I wanted to unlock it but from I've read there's no way to unlock a locked bootloader.
Can anyone please confirm that this works?
Thank you in advance.

this method can not unlock devices which are not allowed to be unlocked..
mean =>"Allow Bootloader Unlock: NO" can,t be unlocked.
but maby flashing open device botloader can unlock. because it is a botloader without locked state. i think so.
is this allowed for xperia E3 D2202??? i dont know whats the status on "allowed bootloader unlock"
Showing error Camera common has stopped working !! :/
When I restart my phone !! Error appears say "Camera Common has stopped working" ? It occurs in a loop
No work in E3 /D2206/D2203/D2243 ?
d2203
does this work also on xperia D2203?
after flashing cwm recovery my phone stuck in sony logo what to do??
Can I?
Can I install that cmw recovery with Mobile Uncle tools apk?
I can not download Minimal ADB and Fastboot from Google drive's link. It says "We're sorry. You can't access this item because it is in violation of our Terms of Service."

I think you should use opposite volume key to that u are using now,same thing occured with me, the posts said volume down key but in my Xperia e3 dual D2212 it worked with up volume key,so you can try that

Hello,
I got a Xperia XZS SO-03J (Japan Docomo Variant). Anybody got any ideas to root this device and any custom roms. Already searched the forum but no avail. Thank you for your help.
Japanese cellular version usually unable to unlock bootloader.but still some phones can unlock. if you have twrp ,you can install some rooted ROMs modified from official ROM.(btw you have to find a ROM can install without unlock bootloader)

if you have docomo ubl yes you can patch kernel manual , because it's different from Au,Global,Softbank
I've tried with x compact docomo ubl yes
I think first of all need to check whether the bootloader is unlockable or not
if you can UNLOCK the Japanese Xzs then
you can use this TWRP
https://dl.twrp.me/kagura/twrp-3.2.3-0-kagura.img.html
there is a depate that you can cross flash XZ's Android 6 to extract DRM keys! but i am not going to go that, as soon as you UNLOCK you bootload, TA partition will be GONE..
what is your build number?
download your build from FLASHTOOL---> Xperfirm and send me KERNEL.sin and i will send you the modded kernel
rest PROCESS you can Read (carefully) at
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz/how-to/rooted-kernels-f8332-41-3-2-588-0-t3748987
its for XZ but applies to XZs too!

This is a good news! , good to know that you were able to Root it.
i am sure you will find good performance.
nighlight makes your screen TINT different (reduces blue) which makes it easier on eyes while you browsing in night or from bed. blue light hurts eyes and brain and increases sleeplessness.
a shortcut toggle button next to FLASHLIGHT will appear (if arent already in your build) and display setting will have NIGHLIGHT FEATURE ENABLED- you can control the INTENSITY of this filter according to your needs

Temporary root is now possible on the Xperia so-03j, I personally tested a few minutes ago.
Check this comment for instructions. And here instructions to create a launcher.

Those files seem appropriate for stock rom release 41.3.B.1.140., so don't try unless you're running that specific version (quite outdated if you ask me).
But first make sure your bootloader can be unlocked. If that's the case, you may want to install a recent rom with root support, or check the guides for rooting stock rom. Be aware that with unofficial roms you might lose camera quality or have no cam support at all.
If you're stuck with an unlockable bootloader (like myself) your choices are much more limited. My current approach is having latest stock, disable bloatware apps, and use temporary root when needed.
thank you @dinosaur99 for your quick response, i got the one that cannot be unlocked, so i'm using the temp root method, but do you know how to gain temp root access without using adb (laptop or computer), and can i automate the temp root every after reboot ?
again thank you for your response, and looking forward from you

Good question! I wanted to create a launcher too!
So I just followed these instructions and it works fine. First you need to perform the following commands from computer (have a copy of the exploit file in working directory):
Bash:
adb push su98-memory-kallsyms /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
# Run this from inside the shell
chmod +x /data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms
/data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms
chcon u:object_r:system_file:s0 /data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms
Now reboot the phone, and the file /data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms should still be there. On your favourite console app, create a new terminal launcher/profile/whatever it's called and name it "Root terminal", then make it so it runs this command on shell login:
Bash:
/data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms
Note there's a trailing <Enter> key at the end of the command. I use Connectbot and it was necessary.
Cheers!
Edit:
By the way, the last line would be the equivalent to "sudo bash" in a computer. That means you can write a script with the root commands to be executed upon reboot. Example launcher:
Bash:
/data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms /data/local/tmp/my-script
I've done deep search about this concern for 2 hours but I've only seen twrp for M5 mini but with different Mediatek. I have MT6580 so some forums doesnt give me any answers so I need help to you guys if you have twrp for this type of Mediatek. Need to flash a rom to my phone~ Thanks in advance

Ok, now you need to unlock bootloader. Follow the next steps:
Download to your pc the latest version of adb installer from here https://androidmtk.com/download-15-seconds-adb-installer , in the process just type "y" to all questions. After it finishes unpack this adb folder and put it in your main drive, by i.e. c: drive
View attachment adb.zip
Install all the drivers for your device.
1- In your device go to settings/about device/build number and tap 7 times, then go back to settings and you will see developer options into settings, enable USB debugging and enable OEM unlock if it´s present,
2- Extract from the zip twrp.img and put it inside adb folder
View attachment twrp-wl2.zip
3- Connect your device power on to pc and run the file "run-adb" as administrator with right mouse button
4- Type adb reboot bootloader and you will be prompted in display of your device, tap on the small box "always allow" and tap on "ok"
5- Now device will reboot to fastboot mode, type fastboot devices you have to see a serial of your device in the window, then if it´s detected type now fastboot oem unlock you have to confirm wiith the button of your device, pay attention.
6- Then you will go to flash twrp onto your device, for this type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and then to reboot to recovery type fastboot boot twrp.img is important that here device reboots to recovery before to reboot to system.
7- In twrp you will be prompted to allow modifications, just swipe to confirm.
If you also want to root your device download the latest version of Magisk in zip format to flash it through twrp.
When al finishes if sucessful you have to format data (all your data will gone) in order to can reboot to system again due to encryption, anyway unlocking bootloader most probably you will lose it before.
Read carefully and do steps one by one, don´t jump nor ignore nothing of the indicated to avoid any damage. If you are not sure in some steps just stops process and ask before.
I´m not sure you that this twrp matches for your device cause I can´t try before and but will see that.
Don´t forget to provide screenies of the process if something goes wrong to can clear.
OMG Thank you very much for this guide, I'll follow the steps later and post a pic after~

https://ibb.co/gf9RUd
Already Installed ADB installer, extract adb.zip into my C. then run administrator.
USB Debugging and OEM Unlock has been enabled in my phone but still my PC doesn't show any serial number

Just copy paste all the commands that I gave you. It´s fastboot devices not fastboot device in fastboot you ever have to write exactly or the command won´t work.
