Xperia R800i will not root from super user tried everything

I have tried so many times to root my Xperia without unlocking the boot loader and it worked one before but i am having trouble rooting it with super one click and gingerbreak. I have flashed .184 generic uk firmware.
Would appreciate the help

How about trying to unlock the bootloader and then flashing the Firmware?
And then use AutoRoot?
I TRIED it this way and it works for me
I think you can relock the bootloader afterwards ,but not sure if you keep R00T =/ most likely you will

Ahh yeah I didn't think of that thank you. I didn't even go near the unlocking the bootloader side of things cause I've used my warranty loads

Root question

From day 1 i wanted to root my nexus, i haven't just encase bugs and stuff. Is root worth risking warranty right now?

You can always flash back to stock and lock the bootloader if rooting didn't appeal to you.

What he said.
Also, rooting and adding ROMs can fix any potential bugs that your phone might have.
And, the sooner you unlock your bootloader, in order to root, the better because unlocking the bootloader erases all your memory. After that, you can back up everything and its all good.

I heard apple has a way to check if you ever jail broke something, it's a possibility that android phones have that too right? Sooooo just locking the bootloader and taking to stock might not get you a new phone right? Or have people not had any problems about returning a previously rooted phone?

if you unlock the bootloader there will be an unlock icon on the splash screen.

i dont think they can see if you rooted your phone. but if you unroot, and lock the bootloader, you will be fine.

[Q] at&t bootloader

Googling and searching this website have yielded nothing useful so I figured I'd ask:
Has anyone yet been able to unlock the bootloader on the sm-t807a (the AT&T model of the 805)?
Thanks in advance. I'm just itching debloat this sucker and see what it can really do.

Not yet.

Okay; further query. Does the locked bootloader just mean I'll trip knox if I flash a custom ROM or otherwise acquire root or is it more insidious than that? Because I'll trade my warranty for root any day of the week. Is there absolutely nothing I can do? I can live with just root and not being able to use a custom ROM but I don't know how long I can run this thing without xposed before I lose my mind.

Locked bootloader means nothing will flash unless it stock and signed. There's chance of a brick and/ or end up with Knox tripped just for the he'll of of it.

Has anyone gained any ground on the T-807A as far as unlocking the bootloader. All I can get into is Odin Mode. Is there a fastboot mode? I have two tablets that are locked up and unbootable because of unapproved software. (TWRPn recovery on both occasions)​

Just flash the stock firmware with odin.

If I relock the bootloader the room and the root will stay?

I want custom rom, root and exposed,
But there is the warning of the unlocked bootloader on every boot.
What is the most I can get without this warning?
Thanks a lot.

Nothing wrong.. Tbh I really like that warning since you can easily navigate to recovery, Fastboot etc. Just ignore that warning.

DON'T relock the bootloader as long as your system is modified in any way (custom rom, root ...).
Don't care about the warning, without it you can get absolutely nothing, but using the unrooted stock firmware.

This warning is shown on every thread describing how to unlock the bootloader - if you lock the bootloader with anything that isn't the stock ROM/recovery, then you will brick your device

I personally, have never had any problems with the adb command to lock and unlock the bootloader. The bootloader actually operates independently of the software running. However, why would you want to relock the bootloader, particularly if you intend to flash other ROMs.

I don't like the idea that everyone can wipe my device. I have little brothers and they can do that by accident...

That doesn't depend on a locked bootloader. You CAN'T protect android phones from beeing wiped.

Of course, but from this warning that can happen by accident...

Root

Is there a way to root the phone with the more recent updates? I never got the bootloader unlocked before they locked it for good

You only can root if ur bootloader is unlocked.
Since August patch, you cant unlock ur bootloader. You need to downgrade ur phone to pre august.
But your bootloader stays unlocked if you update to newer versions

Is there a way to downgrade without an unlocked bootloader? I see one firmware thread, but it says it requires an unlocked bootloader.
I'm quite fed up with the aggressive task killer Nokia piled into the TA-1045, but without root I can't seem to remove or even stop it.

You can bring ur phone to the service center or you can downgrade using ntool. But it is payed only.
