[PRO] Rooting

Hi, guys!
Please tell me how to root a locked bootloader stock 4.0.4 (.431 firmware) Xperia Pro.
Can it be done without downgrading??? And if not, please be kind and give me a step by step tutorial with .ftf links.
I don't want a custom rom for now, just rooting for stock 4.0.4
Thank you!

Why dont you have a look on google or xda on how to root your 4.0.4

You can find a root tutorial in the second page

Check the stickied threads under the General section. The rooting method is the same.

I checked the threads before posting this and I didn't get a thing.
So, can someone please tell me with a little sense of English how to root it, because AeonWorld left me in a total blackout with his coherence and English...
And also, is it true that you can install cwm only with unlocked bootloader???

Should have checked google then. You can install CWM with a locked bootloader, but obviously can't flash a custom kernel, which most custom ROMs use.

Nevermind, everything is solved!
Now I have a beautiful rooted Xperia Pro with stock, which I heard it's the most stable and fast rom.
But now I have other questions...
First of all, what are all the tweaks I can make to make it even faster... (links please)
And the themes from arc and neo should work for pro without a problem also, right???

Use zeppelinrox's V6 Supercharger. Follow rexstor's guide. Make sure you read the original thread first.
Partition your memory card to use it with Link2SD. Follow XperiaBlog's guide to set it up.

Thanks for your useful reply (the first one around here...)!

[Q] New to Galaxy S III

Hello All,
I just purchased the T-Mobile edition on the Galaxy S III and I ignorantly updated from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.1.
I want to root my phone. Am I screwed? Please help me I don't want to screw up my phone.
Thanks for any help.

Why would that be ignorant ?
Yes, you can root JB. Even if you couldn't, you could always flash back to ICS if it was that important to you.
Check out the other forums here and ctrl+f "root" - there are guides that will completely walk you through it. I used the root66 root-injected stock ROM to root my phone, it was the first time I'd ever done such a thing and the guide is well-written and goes baby-step by baby-step.

Any recommendations on the best ROM?

Have people become so lazy that they can't search?

Don't be a jerk. I have tried a few I was just asking what he thought was best that's all.
Comon bro, you made time to criticize but not to help.

[GUIDE] Flashing ROMs correctly, every time-first thread in Q&A

How to use stock rom with root access.

So i have Googled i747m stock rom. But the top result comes up to be "unroot" i747m.
Unless I am confusing the terms. I want to use the stock rom (for the stability sake) but I still want root access. Does installing stock rom = uproot?
And by the way. Rom works for I747 will work for i747m, right?

why did you create a new thread when there are replies on your original thread?

I apologize for the confusion. but may i get some help regarding this question?

Search the boards for rooted stock firmware

And research how to perform a factory reset after you flash that stock firmware. You will need that information.

Noob trying to flash Kitkat on T-mo S2

Hey guys. Coming from Win-mo where everything is just straight forward so this stuff is pretty new. I am trying to find a Kitkat rom for my T-mo S2. I can't seem to find any threads specifically talking about branded phones.
Can anyone help me out here? Info
The phone isn't rooted and on stock jellybean 4.1.2.
If you can direct me to some step by step threads or even better actually telling me what to do step by step it'd be appreciated. Thank you.

I presume you have a SGH T-989 ? If so, you're in the wrong place, your thread belongs here. I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do.

Yeah I realized that after I posted, I just couldn't figure out what the differences were. Thank you for the help.

Cyanogenmod 11 runs Kit Kat. You can download it from the official page. As for the actual flashing, you need to have root and the latest Clockworkmod installed, as I have read about some issues if you try to flash it with other custom recoveries or older versions of it.

You don't need to root. Just flash the recovery and flash the rom. The rom itself is rooted. If you want to root your stock rom flash the su zip in recovery
