Hey guys, I have a Sony Xperia S running on 4.0.4 ICS.
My phone was bought at Meteor Ireland and AFAIK - it's branded firmware (the update only came out today for the Xperia S)
Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
Bump
it depends on ur needs..!!!
well ur sony is a new phone..u got the latest official updates.. u may b surely enjoying all the new features and stuff sony provides to u.. apart from all that do u need anythn extra frm ur phone??
rooting is done to get superuser permission only for advanced users so as to enable any functionality or features, tweaking , extra UI...etc the phone may not provide..
i dont think u need to root ur phone.. bcos there is no need..u had everything in ur phne.. also experimental features for xperia S are yet to come.. if u go rooting ur phone u will loose sony warranty .
Anyway if u hav much experience in using android phones before..
rooting ur phone allow u to get full control on system functions..
u can remove unwanted system apps, u cud crack payed apps, can manage memory tweaks, manually set permissions for apps u want to stop background running... likewise there is many uses in rooting only if u r an advanced user in android platform..
otherwise i say u better not to root.. acording to me there is no need actualy to root ur phone.. i personaly used a sony xperia S.. realy brillaint and great phone indeed.. its awesome.. plz dont tamper ur phone..!!!! And congrats to b a proud owner of sony
I want to get root first of all for CPU management and a couple of other things.
what u mean other thing?
isnt ics already support developer option.
you can OC you phone there.
I don't want to overclock, I want to downclock to increase the battery life. Besides I want some songs for Tap Tap Revenge, but that requires root too
bumpy bump
quick and stupid question that im 99.99% sure i know the answer but need to ask anyway.
My brother has a samsung galaxy s2 on AT&T, they released an update to make it ICS, There is a custom rom that is the Official Update but modded alittle and prerooted. if he goes to turn in the phone later on if i update the phone with the AT&T update will it let me since its already ICS? and doing the Official update will unroot and get rid of custom recovery.... i'm certain i know the answer just want verification.
Thanks

Your Warranty is Not Void – XDA TV

yes, that may be a federal law, but the wireless companies have the right to protect the networks, rooting in itself is not a security issue, its changing prl, roms, etc that cause a security issue. Google by itself does want android to be opened source and universal. the only way google will do that is if they start their own wireless network.
This is straight from AT&T terms of use that you sign when buying a phone and using their towers
att.com/AcceptableUsePolicy.
You are not permitted to use the Software in any manner not authorized by this License. You may not (and you agree not to enable others to) copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, reproduce, attempt to derive the source code of, decrypt, modify, defeat protective mechanisms, combine with other software, or create derivative works of the Software or any portion thereof.
so when you sign the contract you are signing that you will not mess with the phones os or files within the phone, giving them the right to deny your warranty. and if they really wanted to, file charges on the basis of a contract breach.
Sooooo..... using AT&T's update will get rid of custom recovery's and unroot?
yes
I googled your question and people have posted about rooting the phone and of course it voids the warranty.

I wanna see some one show their phone provider that "law" and see how hard they laugh. It says right there messing with the phones files is against the set of rules and I guess people missed that when the read the warranty, and plus this is American what's written and what actually happens are rarely the same.

Which is the best way have a rooted or unrooted android? I have galaxy tab 2 gt-p5110 and im unrooted , i think to root but i dont know, is this the best choice? Will this damage my tab?
go for it ! you will be able to use many apps that need root, flash custom roms, etc
if you read around you will find that you can get back to stock as simply, when you want

Hi
Been considering rooting the device for a little while and was wondering a few things.
I'm coming off a samsung G note 10.1 2014 edition ( I know a freaking mouthful) and there a few major drawbacks to rooting , like loosing all warranty and support from Samsung ( they are freaking draconian when it comes to enforcing the no touch principle)
Are there any drawbacks to rooting? Technical or warranty related.. Do you loose functions?
is it hard to unroot?
Simplest way to root?
Anything else one needs to keep in mind when rooting?
How do you run updates after root?
I know a lot of these are uber noob questions, and please bare with me on this. I just don't want to do something I'll regret later
thanks in advance

No drawbacks or lost functionality.
Its easy to unroot. So far every OTA update unroots you anyways.
Easiest way to root is with towelroot.
Don't delete or change anything unless you know the consequences.
Updates come in the same way, over the air. Install the same way as well.
Towell Root
Towell Root, will it work with 5.0 ?
Btw does rooting void warranty?
And can anyone confirm that ota is possible after root?
Also, Towelroot and lollipop?
Is it worth to unlock bootloader?
I consider unlocking bootloader, cuz i would like to flash Cyanogenmod. Is it better than Roms based on sony's stock kernel?

I still haven`t unlocked the BL, and I don`t plan to do so anytime sooner. I flashed probably a milion phones till this day and each and every time I go back to stock. In my opinion flashing custom roms is only good for older phones, such as my girlfriend`s galaxy s1 ( yes, you read it, s1 . Custom roms breathe new life to such phones. Our z3 already has an amazing stock 5.1.1 rom and it will get the next version of android aswell, so I don`t see any need to flash cm or any other custom rom.

Listen to @Brontok please, I unlocked the bootloader of my old Xperia TX because it was old and in its last months but I wouldn't have done it if it weren't for that reason, to start the camera quality diminished considerably and the Sony features are gone... I suggest you not to, at least not for now.
no it's not, i did in my z2 and it was worse so i sold it and i bought a z3 and with lb is much better
Depends on you
If you wanna unlock ur bl it ur choice. But dont forget to take a full ta backup and storing it somewhere in the cloud if u wanna restore later. I am not the custom roms kinda guy, i prefer stock. I use a stock based rom. If u r gonna unlock the bootloader u gotta sacrifice the camera quality and other sony functions(can be restored later using backed up ta). Do some research before you unlock the bl. And good luck:good::angel:
I did it the moment I got my device. I don't care for all the functions and such of a stock ROM. Vanilla or bust in my opinion.
