Hey is there a way to soft root the Xperia play? So i would be able to download and run root only apps on my play until i turn the device off and on. I dont need to fully root my play i just want to delete some system apps.
I know this is possible with SuperOneClick but at the moment not possible with the Xperia Play as the Play is not currently supported on SOC

Can't you just root with zergrush then unroot?

This is what i would suggest to, but leave out pushing the superuser and su to your phone. As i understand it the files you push to the tmp folder gives you temp root in adb shell and therfore you should be able to preform adb shell commands as root user and be able too remove bloat in /system/app (ofcause you'll need to know the commands to issue in adb shell to remove apps, but that shouldn't be to hard to google).
This is just a guess and as i haven't tried it out i can't say it would work, but then you would"mt need to unroot just remove the tmp folder afterwards.

When I rooted my phone from superoneclick I got a prompt to install busybox and i installed it.
Now I have unrooted my phone from superonclick but dont know what is the status of the busybox that was installed previously
when i tried to search files using query 'busy' in ASTRO file manager i could see file called busybox in system/xbin folder. Will that affect my warranty? If yes how do i remove it?
Can somebody tell me the checklist for warranty? I have only rooted once from superoneclick, installed clockworkmod recovery, made a backup. Then I uninstalled system restore, unrooted the device and did a factory reset. Anything else is to be done??
What about busybox?
Thank you in advance.
Another quick update. When I tried to root my phone again with superoneclick i got a prompt that the device already rooted. That means the unroot had left some traces. How do I remove that?
why don't u just flash a stock sbf rom??? see cyanogenmod thread for a list of sbf's for ur region...
You should have removed all apps that require root before un-rooting.
Try uninstalling busy box, unroot, followed by root, unroot, just to be sure.
The other option of flashing a full stock sbf would also work.

I don't see any application with name busybox. Only there was a file with that name in the system folder. My only concern is that when I rooted the phone after unrooting it I got a prompt that the phone was already rooted.
I could not delete the file with root access.

I updated to 4.0.4 and now I no longer have root access. How do I get it back? Do I just do the root process over in the toolkit I originally rooted with?

My guess is that su.zip only has the binary, and it's missing superuser.apk
After flashing this zip, you have su, but only in the shell/cli. Superuser.apk is what allows GUI apps to use su permissions.

The Superuser.apk probably isn't the problem. It's more of a firewall. The apk let's you restrict access to certain apps, and grant permission to others.
To have root you need su, busybox, and the correct permission settings. Ergo, if you lost root, you probably either lost su, busybox, or your permissions have changed...

Hi,
First of all to change permission of particular file, you need root access.
After rooting you need an file explorer [many available in Google play, search, download & install]
Then you can access the file that you want to change permission.
Do u have root access?
no i don't have ..
unless you root you wont be able to changed the permissions.
If you have 2.3.4 build .42 then root its easy. If you have.62 root is not possible unless unlockbootloader.

Hello, you should look this post of DoomLord: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 This is ZergRush method, it works on mony phones (of course Xperia Arc/S are included) and grants you root acces. After that now you can change permissions, remove junk apps install a recovery and many other things.
I don't want to unlock the bootloader. All I want is root to run AdAway.
Would you recommend one-click root tools such as KingRoot or KingoRoot? Are they safe? Has anyone tested them? Thanks.
Also wondering if I will be able to install OTAs if i root with those tools.
I know alot of noobie samsung users use that stuff, but its thirdparty warez made from ppl in china and what not, theres been issues a few times when developers found out what happens when you use apps or programs like that, some discovered suspicious apps being installed and hidden during the process some also found data being collected from the phone and sent to server data storages and sold to companies, i wouldnt recomend using apps like that.

not that i am aware of b/c u r trying to modify and/or remove something from the root of the device, thus rooting ur device gives u the ability to do so, u cannot without access
is there a reason u are against rooting?
