How to root 4.0.2.A.368
I can not get way to root my play.
Please teach me, if you know.
I was searching and the only way I found is the ota method. But i dont have OTA here. BTW if any one know trackID works on unlocked boot-loaders now?
Assuming you have 4.0.2.A.368 STOCK, it MUST be stock, then go here and follow the instructions. I mean you could have found it yourself but I really dislike when people send others straight to the search bar. It's no help.

If you use the paid method of bootloader unlock rather that the official one. You dont loose DRM certificates or ability to OTA update

I've been playing with the thought root or not root, but i'll need to know this few things before taking the final decision.
If i root 2.3.3, will i then still be able to get 2.3.4 and or 4.0 when it comes out, if se will support 4.0.
what does the 4.0.a features have that the 3.0.1.a doesn't have? and what is the difference.
And how easy 10/10 is it to update a rooted phone.
Thats all, i wanna know.
Search is your friend, but anyways...
Unless you have an unlocked/unlockable bootloader, you cannot root v2.3.3 directly.
Rooting doesn't affect updates as long as you don't remove any system files/apps.
e.g. Updating a rooted Rogers phone:
New features: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199597
There's practically no risk since you can always restore the phone to stock using the FlashTool or PC Companion.
Okay, danke. Youve got your thanks up.

1) We do not Pirate on XDA you Should be banned.
2) We are a Community of people Who Just want to Make Our device better.
Piartes are Scum who are Ilegal and annoying this is what kills developers. You should be ashamed Coming here and saying you want free apps. Root Gives only Privaliges to Certain apps. Unlocking the bootloader Means Voiding your Warranty (ROOT voids as well) and Being able to flash Custom ROM/Kernel.
3) Get off of XDA DEVELOPERS WE DO NOT PIRATE WE RESPECT PEOPLE. IF YOU PIRATE THEN YOU HAVE NO REASSON TO BE HERE AND HAVE A ACCOUNT.

Depends on your firmware. Search and find out.
To everybody else who responded, there is nothing magical about root that lets you pirate.
Sent from my phone, please excuse any Swypos.
totally right there, what i meant by free games was free 3d games that optimise the ps controls on the phone, also ones that didnt need an sd card as i dont get that untill tomorrow.
my firmware is 2.3.4, would i have to pay someone to do it?

What we need is your Sony specific firmware number, if that is above .62, then yes the only way to root it's too pay someone to unlock your bootloader (iirc, the R800i (one you have?) is a little different than the R800x (one I have))

(same response as the pm I sent you, just putting it out there for anybody else who needs it)
Yes, that's the build number.
You're good, root via the zergRush link in my signature or SuperOneClick (www.shortfuse.org) Both of these roots need a computer (the exploit is located in adb)
Use ZergRush method by DoomLord, an easy toolkit to root your phone without unlocking bootloader if you're on Firmware .42. For .62 you'll have to unlock your bootloader to gain root.
Bit harsh Xperia4life. Plus you dont need root acsess to install an .apk. Anyway, can't you use the CWM installer from the Google Play store, then install the superuser zip from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ ?

Actually, there IS a magical root-only app that let's you pirate apps.
Yes, it exists. No, I won't tell you what it's called. I don't promote Warez.

While that is true, you can pirate apps even before you are rooted. Just gotta know where to look. So, yes, pax is correct.
I'm sorry for not being sure where to post this, but I read it on forum rules if not sure to post on General section.
So I have this lovely Z1 Compact " Sadly up-to-date'd " *Yes, I love updates and I have Technology OCD*. Anyways, so I wanted to root this phone (just like all my ol'phones), but the problem here is that this is the first time I deal with Sony's firmwares and I am quite confused to be honest.
Enough with the chit-chating and I will try to make it quick.
1) I just want my Z1C rooted safely without losing my DRM keys or at least a way to back them up! Please remember that my firmware "as stated in title" is 14.5.A.2.270. So if you could help me back up my DRMs or root without unlocking Bootloader, it would be great.
2) Another thing, I am not quite sure about the right way to ROOT my phone with this firmware, like tools and steps to go through. (If you can give me a guide and links for that as well, I would be more than thankful. I am sorry I don't wanna break my phone)

Drm keys will be untouched since this is for locked bootloader. You will only lose drm keys when you unlock bootloader.

Hellou! I am new here, but straight to the point! I just picked up a z5p and i wanna root it asap. I updated it to the latet update cus on yt there was some talking about the update, they said it fixes some overheating issues. How is the root developement going? Has anyone found a simple easy way? I really wanna switch to my z5p ,but if its not rooted no way. I have a rooted z3 and i simply cant have a phone without root. I am not a pro on android. Ive used ios for 5 years. Allways jailbroken, theres not a single thing i dont know about ios, thats one thing i cant say about android. I know alot more than the basics of rooting an android, but probably for most of the users here im a noob lol. So needing help asap! Thx to everyone who answers!! :good:

I haven't tried this method.. I just posted it to answer your question.. Personally I wouldn't root using this method because I don't want to unlock my boot loader since you lose DRM-keys (TA Partition) and yes that will affect the low-light camera quality etc... Don't know about lag, but you'll definitely lose some of the premium feel....
If I was you and I didn't want to lose any of the things mentioned above, I would probably wait to see a new method to root without unlocking the bootloader. (Root for locked bootloader) that way you don't lose DRM KEYS and can make a backup of the TA Partition..

If you unlocked your bootloader then your DRM keys are lost forever.. And there is no way you can get that back even if you lock the bootloader again.. Everything mentioned earlier is lost forever and can't be accessed back ..
