Before I root

So I am about to root my phone but first I have to flash the r800at to the older .270 update. Do I have to worry about breaking anything? Also once it is rooted what are some things I can do or add to my phone?

Bump. Can someone let me know if there is anything I need to do or be aware of?

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash a new kernel. Only with root you can install some custom roms
There is allways a chance to damage your phone when you flash something, but if you follow carefully the flash steps you have a high chance to root your phone without any problem

Yes I do have a locked bootloader. So instead should I flash a custon kernal then root? I was looking into doomkernel and that looks nice. Does it have some instructions for installing it safely? Also is that the best one for the AT&T version of this phone?

You MUST have a unlocked bootloader to flash a new kernel or you'll brick your phone

Oh my bad. So is really the only thing I can do is flash the .270 version and just rooting?

Yes. If you want to change the rom with a locked bootloader you need root acces

I only can talk abour my current rom, Gin2JellyBean.
Smooth, fast, perfect. I'm very happy with it but there are another roms that are pretty good

No need to root before you unlock it. Because its a matter of flashing the root zip in recovery after you unlock.

As well as that, I'm not trying to be rude but, if you don't know the terminology; you probably don't know exactly what you're doing. Not knowing what you're doing when flashing ROMs and dealing with root apps has the potential to screw over your phone.

I do know what im doing. My phone is already rooted and has cwm. But should I UNROOT before I get the bootloader unlocked

It won't affect the bootloader. No need to remove it.

[Q] Why do I always get bootloops?

Hi everyone,
I am new to flashing and rooting. I have rooted my Xperia S using bin4ry method (locked bootloader). I found CWM for locked bootloaders which use a .bat file to flash CWM.
I always get a bootloop by using that CWM. I got bootloop once, then I restored using flashtool. I gave a second try and I got bootloop again!!!! I got extremely annoyed. I was trying to install a flashable zip mod of Xperia T small apps.
I have wiped dalvik cache before every time I flashed. No luck.
Can anybody help me out?

Maybe the mod isn't for your system Version?

I don't know. CWM for locked bootloader hasn't been updated for a good time.

How do other people with locked bootloader use CWM?

Don't worry, framework-res was the problem, not cwm.

CWM problem

I installed xElite gamer ROM but now i cant enter recovery. Tried using auto cwm installer and it tells that cwm is installed but cant boot into recovery.
Is there any other way of entering recovery except vol button and into recovery reboot?

I don't think this can be done with a locked bootloader.

Is your bootloader unlockable?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

No. I cant unlock it any day soon

You should not give advice like this without reading the post.. He said he had a locked bootloader if he followed your comments he would have probably bricked his phone:crying:

With a locked bootloader this would not brick your phone it would not install I tried this when I had a locked bootloader and my it said on my computer I needed a unlocked bootloader and left the phone stock it wouldn't of bricked it

How to root xperia m c1904 running Android 4.3

You have to flash 4.1 cwm kernel and flash the root zip file then flash back to 4.3 kernel, which can be found in its respective thread (if you search) also you have to have unlocked bootloader to do it

I'd just like to add something to what @dunc4n88 said. I messaged doomlord earlier and he has replied saying that no exploits work on 4.3.

Sony have patched them all so looks like any way of rooting is by injecting it in manually, I have an idea that I'm thinking about for rooting but not mentioning anything yet as might be a complete fail
