Look in the android development section of the forum depending on which play you have you'll find the forums has the firmware someone which you need. Also download a program called flash tool, as this is used to install firmwares to your phone (providing your boot loader is unlocked).

From what I've heard, you are correct, sir. What he need to do is downgrade firmware, then used either DoomLoRD's rootkit, or superoneclick to root.

install flashtool on your pc
flash a custom kernel e.g. doomlord v11 to the phone
this will root the phone
just search up the zergrush method
fives you root in like 2 mins!!
Right, problem is, my PC has finally decided to stop doing what what it's supposed to. More specifically, it doesn't put my phone in fastboot mode anymore.
My question is, how do I root on the latest GB firmware? If I root on when .42 firmware, can I flash the .64 firmware while unticking the kernel option? Is that where root is?
I can usually do stuff without asking questions, but this problem is quite specific and couldn't find an answer Google-ing.

Flash the rootxperia.zip in recovery. Then, uninstall superuser and install a newer version of it from google play/market. Press thanks if I helped.
Note: This can be used on any Gingerbread firmware. Also, root will not carry over if you use flashtool.
Can I flash the .64 firmware then flash that?

No No no! Root Does Not make Fastboot work, fastboot is Enabled only on Generic or Devices That have had a SEMCBoot Patch. Your PC is not the Problem Its your Device or Just you.

Sounds like a USB cable problem, or maybe a USB port problem.

It's a USB port problem.
I was using the dsixda kitchen when my computer switched itself off. I tried the same thing and it switched off at exactly the same point. Ever since then my main USB port stopped working (it was working minutes before). I can't get the drivers for fastboot installed on the other USB port.

I was just about to flash .62 firmware, when I had a thought. How do I get recovery installed without root? Will the auto installer from the market work, or does that need root?

no regardless you need root which is just a simple click you can't get CWM without it the auto staller will not work if you do not have root because it needs su permission
The only way to get root on the .62 firmware with a locked bootloader is to flash .42 and then flash the .62 firmware .zip file which is buried somewhere in android development. Since you can't flash a custom kernel(which root your rom anyways) you can't get into recovery on .62 as installing recovery requires root.
My bootloader is unlocked.
Sounds like a catch 22 situation.
I'll just stick with what I'm on now and wait for an ICS FTF.

It's not a big enough problem to get everything set up on somebody else's computer.
Does anybody know what the driver is called? Maybe I'm going to the wrong folder when trying to manually update it.
Also, when I uninstall the drivers, I get the S1 Boot (or whatever it's called) thing installed but that changes to something like SEMCflash. Is that supposed to happen? Because I read that you need update the S1 one, which disappears/gets replaced.
Sent from my R800i using XDA
If you root it, then OTA, you keep root. Only problem is you can't OTA with an unlocked bootloader.
Try with a different PC?
The drivers are on the Sony unlock site.
I can't install the drivers because the S1boot thing changes to SEMCflash. I get told that it contains no info about my phone or it can't find a better match.

You should be able to override Windows:
Update Driver Software -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Have disk

I've tried that, that's when I get the messages. When I choose the driver file it says it doesn't contain any information about my device.
I did the same thing with my other USB port and it worked fine til it broke. So why it wont work I have no idea. I still don't know how cooking a ROM can break a USB card.

Don't worry, my phone will be safe.
My PC is useless, I only use it to do phone stuff so, if it can't do that, I may as well have a bit of therapeutic destruction.

So, I successfully rooted my Acro S, and then I went on to install CWM. No problems so far...
Rebooted the phone and tapped the Sony logo several times to enter CWM, then I got stuck with a blank (lit black) screen. No led...
What happend and what do I do about it?
Any help appreciated!
Is your cwm volume up to enter or touch the screen to enter?

its been noted that recoverx doesnt work with the 96fw (not only that but chance not to work at all on any firmware)
there is a cwm installer in the dev section somewhere
try that instead

I assume that you manage to root your phone, so there should be no problem to install CWM with this method.

You need to get again a new one as your file seems to be corrupted...be sure to copy the output for creating the file correctly otherwise you can't unlock it....mine always worked for the first try on many hox

I had this issue yesterday, it was extremely frustrating. You cannot see the phone, however as you said you can send a recovery. You can also push a rom to the sd card that I presume you cannot see in Windows when you mount it in Cwm or twrp. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329090

This problem usually happens when ROM is corrupted, faced that problem on most HTC devices... I prefer to try fixing ur stock rom then unlocking your phone.
Hey guys I plan on staying on stock Rom for a while but I need busy box installed. There are apps that do it, but whenever I try to install it my device just reboots. I'm stock rooted with unlocked boot loader as of right now and unable ble to achieve s-off in case that helps. New to HTC so any help would be appreciated.

Im pretty sure you need to turn s-on to s-off. There are many threads on here how to do that. I think you need to root it too

If you have unlocked bootloader you can try to flash or use a module or hacked/custom kernel which can turn system from read only to write...flar made this module/kernel...so read the thread and maybe give it a try...
