[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.

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] Learning How to Root arc S

Hi guys, I`m an new user and I`m starting my knologe about Android, so I have some questions about the procedure to Install CM10 on my device. I read many posts at the forum, but i got a little confused about the way I might procede.
-Fist of all my device is a Sony Xperia Arc S (X12) Lt18a, but all the information for rooting and installing CM10 are for the Lt18i, Does it make any diference, because i know that the frequecies are diferent, and i`m afraid my cellphont stop working here on Brasil.
-Second, i`m confused about what i might do first, i might root or flash my device?
My android is:4.0.4 ans version number is 4.1.B.0.431.
Thx alot for all that can help.

[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

[Completed] any custom roms for xperia D6563?

Hello gentleman, i finally decided to register at xda, i've been screwing with my phones ever since i had a smartphone, normally because some damn update turns it into a pice of ... any way, i ask for your help because i'm not a developer i'm actually a magician but following this forums i've managed to root, unbrick, customize roms and etc, on every device i ever had exept for this one
Xperia z2a D6563, i'm not getting you bored with the whole story, but i litteraly been trough hell with this one, it was recently updated to marshmallow, and it started to drain battery real badly, the data conection comes and goes and of course i've tried to use that companion thing as a first tool, but it turned out to get worse, so, i unlocked the bootloader, did all of the fast boot things,
i downloaded the xperia firm, the androxyde flashtool, and haven't been able to get a lollipop stock rom for my device or any other custom rom, but xperia firm has only 3 roms, 2 are trial versions for taiwan and the other one is a damn MM rom , i cant even root this thing!!!! and you have to belive me i've been looking for this roms like ****ing liam neeson! so, now i turn into this forum for help, the easy way is to get some other phone, but i really like this one, and i hate that sony just screwed it up and is not planning to fix... ever.
so please, can someone give me a hand or a hint on this one? thanks guys,
i apologyze for the ****ty grammar, this is not my native language.
