Rooting. - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hey has anyone figured, at least give me a explanation on y we can't root the ion without unlocking the bootloader .

Because Sony has patched the previous exploits that allowed rooting via one click methods. We might have the ability when IcS comes out like they have with the Xperia s but Sony might fix that one as well. We shall see.

Are u talking about the one click root program or flash tool.

Flashtool method did not work on the International version nor did the Super One Click option.

Ok what are exploit patches or patched exploits. Sorry if u people are giving me the dumbest sign but I'm trying to learn quick so I can start helping with custom roms kernels testing etc.

As far as I know, no! The rooting via recovery is the best way of rooting (in my opinion). Easy, fast and no known issues yet.

There used to be an app(Gingerbreak) which could root the devices by simply installing an app and confirm the rooting. But it is no longer supported for later firmwares(as far as I know)

Is the bootloader unlocked?

Is the bootloader for this phone already unlocked or something? I can't find much info on it.
Thanks

It depends.
If you installed the official 2.2, then yes it is locked, but ublockable via the use of Revolutionary.(HTCDev will allow you to use custom ROMs, but its still s-on, which means you can't modify anything on the phone.

It was on the official 2.2 but I rooted and got it S-Off. Its now running cyanogenmod 7. This was a while ago so I can't remember what tools I used to do this.

There's a couple of ways.
XTC Clip: A hardware tool that S-OFFs and network unlocks
AlphaRevX: Software tool made by the AlphaRev team
Revolutionary: Same thing as AlphaRevX, but also roots.

No but I'm already rooted and S-Off. I just wanna know if that means its bootloader unlocked?
Sent from my XPERIA X8 using xda premium
Yes, if you're S-OFF, the bootloader is fully unlocked.
Thank you that's great

[Q] "Closing apps holding back button" Feature ?

DiXperia 2 ROM does not have this great feature...
Is there a way to make the ROM supports the feature like a flashable zip contains the feature to flash via recovery to get it ? I hope so :crying:
Nope.

But you're not developers So how do you knowthere is no a way
They may not be developers, but they still have knowledge. If you want, you could ask a developer in one of their threads

OK thanks all. Now I have 2 reasons to change DiXperia 2 ROM
1)It is vulnerable.
2)It does not support the feature.
Vulnerable? I don't think there are many ROMs that have the feature though I may be mistaken

Actually, me and sdojoin are kinda devs.

Yes I scanned my R800i for vulnerabilities with X-Ray and the result shows my device is vulnerable to "Gingerbreak". I think it is DiXperia 2 related.
I will search for a ROM that does have the feature and use it.
Your Rom is vulnerable to Gingerbreak?
Gingerbreak is what you use to root your phone if I'm not mistaken..
Someone posted a flashable .zip that apparently contained this mod, and a few others within it, a while back
Never tried it so dont know if it worked

Yesterday, I installed this rooted ROM [ROM] [Unlocked Bootloaders] Stock ICS Xperia Play 4.1.B.0.587 Final and I've scanned it with the app and the result says that my device is patched.
I think some of rooting ways make device vulnerable.
