[Q] Xperia active, rooting?

Hello all!
Changed my Motorola Defy for an Xperia Active, the ear-speaker problem x3 times in 5 months made me to lay down hope on a solid and sturdy phone by Motorola... Otherwise a good phone...
Now I want to root and tweak my SE Active and wonder if there is any "how-to" on the net, cant seem to find anything and rooting it as the other Xperia devices doesn´t work apparently, at least not for me... ;(
Any suggestions, links is warmly appreciated mates.
Thanks in advance.

...Thanks...

It is in my understanding that rooting this phone is impossible at the time being, too early it seems...
Not even able to root it here: http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions

wanna know that. Sold my Mini Pro and love the new Active but would love to root it to get rid of some junk

Exactly, I think the interface is pretty much ok, its just this "some" (a lot) of junk that has to go...Would like to clock it too and under-volt it.
Cant really see the need to install CyanogenMod on this phone as I did on my Defy, nor do I use my Launcher Pro.

Looked all over the web for info on rooting SE Xperia Active. Found none.
Has anybody ever attempted to root Xperia Active? It's been on the market for a while now...

Wouldn't the rooting procedure be the same for mini pro and active?

ZergRush Exploit works on Gingerbread devices inludes all Xperia 2011 and the bootloader can be locked for the root

That's great to know. Thanks

[Q] Making my J faster

I got a Xperia J for my son.
In first the phone was easy to use.
Now it is as slow as a phone of 4 years old.
I am looking for a rom that makes the phone faster and maby pretyer to look at.
If i am looking in the sections of the roms i don't know with one i must pick.This because i never flashed a phone before.
That means i don't know if i can go into recovery right away. Maby i must do something before i can do that??
Can someone help me by telling me how to flash my phone with a new rom and off course with rom to choose.
This because i don't know with one.Not every rom is compatible with the J.
Thanks for your time to help this beginner/noob hahahaha

1. Factory reset + clear all
2. Just do root
3. Boost my xperia + pimp my rom
Do this 3 first. If still slow, then unlock bootloader and find rom.
Sony Xperia Tipo ST21i

Can you tell me how i must do a root?
I can't find the right way.
Sorry but i am new at this.

You can use unlockroot, or ishuaji_root, or 360
shouji root. Only unlockroot is in english, the others are in chinese. You can also just search inside xda for the other method.

Before you flash a custom Rom I would like to recommend that you try this and see how it works : https://www.box.com/s/6oe7hg5yfweb642ovk86 . Just install it, place the phone on a flat and stable surface( like a table) and calibrate.
It worked like magic for me. I had serious problems with the lag and after I tried this little apk everything works flawless. I don't even recognize my J.

It's a simple touch screen calibration app.
Try it and see if it's what you are looking for.

It doesnt work a lot on my J.
So i think i must install a custom rom.
But with one is simpel to install?
I have NEVER done a root of flash a rom.
If someone can tell me or hase a howto please let me know.
Also if you know what a good working rom (without bugs) is , also let me know!

I'm also a newbie,but in Sony phones recovery does not come pre installed.you will have to install CWM for that..since xperia j is an old model,there would be many options for you...think of rooting and installing clock workmod(CWM).and from there u can do something...
Thank me if I helped you..

[Q] Starting with my new Xperia L

Hi Everybody!
I bought an Xperia L last week, and I was looking by the "ThundZap" Kernel that is in Original Development section, and I want to install it in my new Xperia... But I don't have idea how, and I dont know if THIS KERNEL, its for STOCK ROM...
I had an Xperia X8, with Root, custom Kernels and ROM, but I dont have idea if its the same for the Xperia L.
Maybe could help me a little in this new little world for me!
Thanks!
