[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.

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

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.

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

[Completed] [Q] Wanted ! good root for Z1 with full SD permission!

HI All,
Recently got a replacement for my xperia Z, a Z1 ! I had KitKat on it which came with an annoying SD card problem (I guess you all know about this issue....) I flashed to 14.2.A.1.136 Jelly Bean and Rooted with TowelRoot. All good except that my SuperSU will not update its binaries....Access to SD read/write is all OK.
I would also like to be able to use a custom ROM, iHacker's look interesting and very useful but the process seems very long winded and I don't want to try it without SuperSU working properly.
I am not bothered with KITKAT so happy to stay with Jelly Bean if necessary.
Although I am able to Flash an FTF I am still a bit green with regard to android workings so simple directions would be muchly appreciated.
I hope anyone out there can help me
PS I found StorageCow but didnt know if any of the ftf files would help my problem, guess I need the last JB firmware....

Hi,
Me advice would be to read as much as you can and get a handle on everything, then follow the instructions to the letter. Also, here's a great guide for doing most things.... And you can ask questions here,
> Sony Xperia Z1 > Xperia Z1 General > Root, Backup TA, Unlock bootloader and more! The ultimate Xperia Z1 guide
Good luck!

Much appreciated KJ

Thank you. Thread closed.

I'm very new to Android (been using iPhone since its release) but i got a Sony Xperia E4g as a gift from my carrier and I would like to update it to Lollipop or root it and get something like MIUI on it. This that possible?
