Root method for locked xperia 2012 and other phones

[xga01]

hi to all,
sa mga naka ICS jan with locked bootloader, gusto ko lang i share ang rooting method based on bin4ry (xda dev) method using latest flashtool (0.9.8).

this method worked on my xperia go (6.1.1.B.10). I hope it will work on yours too!

requirement: make sure you have ICS and backup & restore app in your phone!

1. download & install latest flashtool. dun sa link sa baba, click installation tab, then click the links available (uploaded.to o kaya rapidgator) depending on your OS.
http://androxyde.github.com/
2. set your phone to enable usb debugging (phone drivers must be installed). connect phone to pc.
3. on flashtool, go to tools->root->force adb restore hack.
4. select either superuser or supersu
5. flashtool will instruct your phone to restore rootme in backup & restore app. click restore in your phone.
6. wait for phone to reboot.

hope that helps.
cheers

@TS
Since locked pa rin po ang bootloader, magkakaroon po ba ng CWM recovery mode ang phone? Pwede na po ba mag-flash ng custom firmware at kernel?
Rooted na po kasi ako the old fashioned way which requires a very long process. Pero kung hindi pwedeng magflash ng custom rom, I'll still stick with the old procedure

@themonyo

hindi po pwede mag lagay ng cwm kapag hindi unlocked bootloader kaya babay muna ako sa custom roms at recovery.

@hupawilagan

yes sir working po sa xperia go ko.
try ko din upload later yung backup and restore apk ng phone ko later, o pwede naman yun hanapin kay google, or sa xda thread ni bin4ry.

 

[themonyo]

noted

I'll recommend this procedure sa mga n00bs

 

[hupawilagan]

ah sige upload mo na lang.. ahaha salamat po

 

[hupawilagan]

boss ung part na ito hindi ko namuha

flashtool will instruct your phone to restore rootme in backup & restore app. click restore in your phone.

ha? sir actually pwede mag flash ng custom rom kahit naka locked bootloader depende pa rin sa custom rom.. ,alam ko hindi pwede mag flash ng custom kernel pag naka locked bootloader po! correct me if im wrong ! thanks for sharing ts !

yes, meron mga custom rom na pwede sa locked bootloader like MIUI for Xperia
pero via flashtool or fastboot rin lang ang flashing kasi FTF ang file nila
about sa kernel... di ko pa nasubukan magflash ng custom kernel sa locked bootloader eh... nag-unlock agad ako 3 days after ko nabili Xperia S ko
pero, i doubt nga na tatanggapin nya

 

[xga01]

thanks for sharing na pwede pala custom rom sa locked bootloader.

@sir hupawilagan
