This guide is for everyone who wishes to flash the latest ION firmware and then proceed on to root it.
Though this guide is for Xperia ION, but I suppose, this is quite universal and applicable to all Xperia Phones.
Read carefully and understand clearly the process before starting the actual process of flashing. When in doubt, ask your queries in this forum and wait for it to get answered.
The Xperia ION Lt28 exists in 4 variants.
AT&T version with LTE. ( Lt28at )
Rogers Version with LTE. ( Lt28rogers )
International Version with LTE. ( Lt28i )
Version without LTE. ( Lt28h )
Getting Ready
There a a few very essential things that need to be sorted out before you could flash a firmware. I am listing them below.
Connecting the phone to the PC and making it recognize the phone.
(Windows only):
When you connect the phone to the PC for the first time, the phone will prompt you to install the PC Companion S/w on your pc. Go ahead and Install it. In addition to this, essential drivers required for connectivity will also be installed. In windows , both MTP and MSC modes of connectivity work. MTP mode allows access to both Internal and External SD card. MSC mode will allow access of only the External SD card.

(Linux Only):
It is a little tricky in the case of linux to achieve connectivity. The following are the steps you need to follow:
1. Open Command Window, “ terminal” in case of Gnome base Linux and “konsole” in the case of KDE based Linux. It should be easily accessable through menu.
2. Inside the Command Window type “ sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules” if you are using Gnome or “sudo kwrite /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules” for KDE.
3. Add the below lines into the file and save it.
#Sony Ericsson
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0fce", MODE="0666"
4. Execute the following command from command window:
chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
5. Restart Linux now.
6. Connect the phone to the PC, open Command Window and type “ lsusb” without the quotes and press Enter. You should see an output, and you should see a line with the following:
ID 0fce:6177 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
7. If you don't see it, then you have made a mistake in the previous steps. Retrace the steps again to see that they are correct.
8. Open the phone, go to settings and select Xperia Settings and then select connectivity. Select USB Connection mode as “ Mass Storage Mode (MSC)”. The MTP mode does not work in linux. The support is not yet available.
9. Now when you connect the phone to the Pc it will mount the external_sd card automatically.
The above steps just ensures that the Phone is recognized by the PC and

Proceed to POST#2 for FLASHING Steps.

Flashing and Rooting ICS on any Xperia ION
Flashing Firmware:
Now comes the easiest part.
So if you have completed the steps from post#1, then you are ready to flash the firmwares. It does not matter if your ION is on Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich, the process of flashing remains the same. Flashing firmwares does not require Bootloader's to be Unlocked.
First and foremost you need to downlod the latest firmware for your Phone. So you head over to this site.
Firmware Links ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752345 )
After downloading the firmware, follow the Screen shot attachments with the steps below:
1. Start flashtool and click the lightening icon.
2 .Select Flash Mode.
3 .Select firmware to flash.
4. Click OK to start flash.
5. When the screen 5 pop's up, power down the phone. Press power + volume down button simultaneously. If the green led lights up, then the phone is in flash mode.
Flashtool will start flashing automatically. Once it is done flashing, it will show a message that the phone is disconnected.
Now detach the usb cable from the phone and press the power button to start the phone.

Proceed to POST#3 for ROOTING Steps

Rooting:
FOR LOCKED BOOT LOADERS
As per the developer of this method, it works only on ICS and JB.
To root the phone, first you need to download the rooting kit from here.
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31545627#post31545627 )
At the time of writing, the latest version available is Version 15. ( http://ul.to/h44f6vni )
This is known to work well with Ion.
Also there is Version 13 which works well for me. ( http://www.mediafire.com/?1q4nt6b63ooaf1s )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This method of rooting requires the Backup & Restore utility to be installed on the phone. If it is not available by default, on your phone, download it from here. ( https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByrrmqPijqISWElSQjV1aWVkMVk/edit?pli=1 ) and install it as a normal app.

Now on the phone, got to settings/developer options for ICS and enable USB debugging. Without this your phone will not be recognized by adb and you won't be able to root your phone.

Click to collapse
Unzip the downloaded rooting kit to the place of your choice.
(Windows only) Connect the phone to the pc. Now navigate to the folder which contains the unzipped contents of the rooting kit. Click on the RunMe.bat. Now follow the instructions.

(Linux Only) I don't know if the Linux script in the latest version works or not. But it works in the the Version 13, which i have attached to this post. Open the terminal window and navigate to the folder where you have unzipped the rooting kit. Now type the following command and follow the instructions.
chmod +x runme.sh
sudo ./runme.sh

I used this to root before you posted it but it slowed ICS down to point out was almost unusable. Any thoughts on why? Did I screw something up maybe?

I followed the above instructions as it is. I had pre-rooted gingerbread.
ICS is pretty fast, not as fast as Gb, but no lags either.
May be some problem with the ICS Rom zip. Try downloading it again. None have reported this problem.

I'm running it now and it flies. But as soon as I root it happens. I tried it twice from stock ATT and generic .111.

Am I reading wrong? But I currently have ICS. So do I need to like re flash gingerbread then go back to ICS?

So I want to make sure I have this straight!
I have a stock ATT Ion 2.3.7
3. Application Settings: [Unknown sources] checked {Allowed}
4. Application Settings: Development [USB debugging] checked {Allowed}
5. Run Step 1.bat
6. Install Ice Cream Sandwich without wiping anything.
(wipe data, wipe cache and wipe apps log are not selected).
Once flashing is done, start the phone manually. It does not reboot automatically.
7. Application Settings: [Unknown sources] checked {Allowed}
8. Application Settings: Development [USB debugging] checked {Allowed}
9. Run step 2.bat
And this will give me ROOTED ICS 4.0.4 with locked bootloader?
Then what do I flash to get my LTE radio back? Just the Stock ATT baseband?
Sorry for the noobish question, my Ion is less than a week old and I havent picked insurance through best buy yet so I don't want to brick before I insure it

We try ROOT through this process and believe that you can try too. So I do not have these devices, and you must read a lot before making a decision. Before any procedure must have stock ROM or at least a backup of it.
BLU Dash 4.0 has [Chipset Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon]. Furthermore, this procedure Super_Su did not work for with the original recovery BLU VIVO 4.3 ROM JB 4.1.1. With recovery original it says "Installation aborted".

What system you are using Win XP/Vista/7/8?
I'll pass the correct procedures to install the drivers:
On the computer:
Go to the Drivers folder and run "InstallDriver" (for the file I'm sending you).
On your device:
Connect the device to your computer, go to Settings, Options programmer, Activate and check "USB Debugging" and press OK.
On your computer:
1 - Go to device manager, click on unknown device or wrongly recognized (MT65XX Preloader);
2 - MT65XX Preloader updating drivers, click browse for driver software on this computer;
3 - Type of Device, click Show All, and then click Have Disk and browse to the folder "Driver\ADB" and select the file [android_winusb.inf];
See this image for [android_winusb.inf]:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38864558
4 - Select Android Composite ADB Interface;
5 - If message appears, requesting confirmation to install, confirm, appear to Windows Security box, asking if you want to install Google Inc, Select Always Trust and install;
6 - Now just do the procedure in SPFT to put only the recovery (CWMv6).
Remember that with Win7 installations should always be run as administrator!
Check this with @tanmay5 in mmxA110 #38 ------->>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167244&page=4
For Win8 disable UAC:
3. open control panel in win8 the metro you one not classic one. I think u all might be knowing how to go there.
There click on general tab then click - advanced startup n press restart.
then go to troubleshoot option in press option 7 i.e disable driver signature. Thats the most Important step.
4. your pc will get restarted null enter in the in that option.
5. your UAC (User Account Control) must be enabled atleast to the recommended level/2nd one from the top.

This is something related to installing drivers. Another interesting case is USB plug behind the PC.
Check this for more drivers MT6577. Download your version for SO (W8/W7/Vista/XP )--> [TUT] Instructions MTK6577 USB VCOM Driver Installation
I read in other posts that you have Win8 and this is not good. But many friends managed. Read post # 10, disable UAC, see picture of correct installation and try again. See this for correct install drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38864558
Another attempt is to use scatter file this on my forum [TUT] HOW TO INSTALL ROM 4.1.1 JB - BLU VIVO 4.3 D910i. Download the BLU_D910i_V06_GEN_T8113_20130322_CWM.rar, unzip. In SPFT, select only the option [RECOVERY].

You're writing in the wrong place. Furthermore, the update should be placed with the original recovery. If you have a BLU VIVO 4.3, then you should not fear anything. So many people make the direct download to phone. This is wrong!
First on the PC and then put the sdcard. It may be that the file you downloaded came with errors.
If you have CWMv6 and backup, is back to normal. If not, try again another update file. If not, put JB version 6 in forum [TUT] HOW TO INSTALL ROM 4.1.1 JB - BLU VIVO 4.3 D910i. Read all the posts and see how to put the JB version 7.
Do not write here again on other matters, that is not the issue ROOT!

Thanks to the OP for this, looks like a great solution.
Is there any particular firmware you have to be running for this to work? Or do you need to downgrade?

Thanks a lot! It works!

Nobody mention models or what kind of rom does this program root why? is very funny no real data, any one with solid comments about models and rom versions?

Sorry if I'm rude but I think we need some info like what firmware version works with this root or any prerequisite should we have before rooting like bootloader being unlocked etc. Also a simple tutorial would be nice for newbies to avoid confusion. Ill test this out on the latest firmware [.108] on an unlocked bootloader and I will report if this is working.

Its booth for locked on unlocked bootloaders but for no already rooted devices (except rooted by our tool), its tested on last 3 android versions. There is 2 things, it can work or not work, you can try in jellybean and let me know (probaly not working). No more words here since tool is very easy and anybody know what to do with them Enjoy if you found them usefull and easy! Anybody can post detail installation here if allready used my aplication, I am lazy sory!

So I just tested it out and it works. So I figured out, why not just make a tutorial video since it's so simple. Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06S9GUL9U5s
I enabled USB Debugging and Unknown Sources just to be sure.

No need unknown source since usb debuging is enought! Is not easy? I think very easy Did you tried my recovery after rooting, I just want to know how its working on z1, (you need to press volume button after blue led blink to enter into recovery)

It's really easy to root now. Just 1 click. CWM works too. Here's more proof that it works. Good work man

ClockWorkMod, no computer required

Have you been wanting to flash cwm on you A3000 tablet, but you don't have a computer? Thanks to Olivier (profile: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4329876 ), and his post about his port of cwm to this tablet, you can.
Requirements: A working, rooted, A3000 tablet, and... well... that's it.
Warning: If anything unwanted happens to your tablet, you've only got yourself to blame.
So, let's get started.
Step 1: Install Flashify on your tablet (Play Store link: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify&hl=en )
Step 2: Download the cwm .img file (download link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=6796&task=get )
Step 3: Open up Flashify, tap on Recovery > Choose file > File explorer. Then browse to the downloaded file. Select it, tap on Yup!, and reboot into recovery.
Step 4: If it worked, hit the thanks button, and if it didn't... hit it anyways.
Remember, all the hard work was done by Olivier. I just did this tutorial.
If you are unsure about which variant this recovery will work on, I can assure this works on both the F and the H.

This seems a bit like a chicken-egg problem. Because people without a computer can't root the A3000. But this is less hassle than using yet another niche pc tool to flash.

The easiest way to get root and recovery on T2 ultra dual {5.1.1} {.182}

My this post may be considered as a sequel to my previous post about the easiest way to root t2 ultra dual {.472} {5.0.2}
Now the way to root our t2 ultra dual {5.1.1} {.182}:
Download the ftf file of latest firmware 19.4.A.0.182 (search on google)
Download latest version or V 0.8 of prf creator (search on google and get xda link)
Download SuperSU.zip (search on google)
Now put the prf creator somewhere in your PC (let's say on desktop) extract it there.
Add ftf file and superSU.zip in prf creator
Mark all the boxes on right side of prf creator window
Hit create. In 15-20 minutes you will get a zip file named "flashable" in prf folder
Copy this flashable zip and put it in root of SD card of your phone.
Now reboot your phone in recovery
after rebooting into recovery, follow in sequence:
Wipe
Advanced wipe
select:
cache
dalvik
system
data
internal memory
swipe to wipe
go back to recovery home
tap install
select external sd card
select that flashable zip
swipe to flash
wipe dalvik
reboot to system.
To install recovery:
Download latest nut's xzdr installer zip
Put it somewhere in your computer
Extract it, you will get a folder of same name
Connect your phone to pc in USB debugging mode
Open the extracted folder
Double click the windows installer batch file
Grant superuser access on your phone's screen
Follow the instructions on terminal
(press 1 on your pc as you have SuperSU in your phone)
After successful instalation of recovery, your phone will reboot into recovery.
Reboot the phone into system
.
.
Now you have a rooted 5.1.1 D5322 with latest Dual recovery.

This is not even close to simple dude..
This is what i did to root :
1. Copy SuperSU to sdcard
2. Flash DUAL_RECOVERY_D5322-LP.img
3. Install supersu then power off
4. Open flashtool and Flash STOCK KERNEL 5.1.1 ONLY KERNEL
5. REBOOT & VIOLA

there are few additions required for noob like me
To make work this method
Requirement :
Rooted D5322 with 4.x.x or 5.0.1 & working recovery installed.
To install recovery:
make sure that you have :
Enabled USB debugging
Enabled Unknown sources

Need step by Step instructions please
Hello
I am a novice with many of the tools listed & the steps outlined, can somebody please help with step by step instructions,
maybe email me [email protected]
:good:

Thanks. For my XPERIA T2 ULTRA DUAL I had to made a change:
Instead of using the Recovery-Software you (rituraj_singh) offered I had to use the software (TWRP) recommended b abcdjdj in his post from 27th May 2014 ((D5322) Dual Recovery) on the XDA-Forum.
For the not-experienced Users of Androxyde Xperia Flash Tool: You can use the XperiFirm-Software (XI-Button in the Flash-Tool) and install the 5.0.1 (19.3.A.0.472)-Firmware from MELA Latin, but you have to overwrite also the Userdata and the Apps-Log, otherwise there are problems. After flashing use KingRoot to root your device, than replace kinguser using the batch-script of w0lfdroid.com (May 2015) placing the mrw-folder (included in the downloaded zip) on the intern memory (important) and executing it with Terminal Emulator. Than open SuperSu (installed by the script, not by you), and actualize the root-script. Afterwards reboot.
A Tip: After having installed the TWRP-Software on your phone you could have problems rebooting into the system, so prepare all and after having flashed the custom prf-rom on the device all would be function!

Time: maybe 1 hour or 2 hours
Tipp: if you until yet did not install Android 5.1.1 on your Xperia T2 Ultra Dual you do not have to follow the steps which are describing how to download the older Firmware via XperiFirm, but you should have installed the FlashTool just for the drivers (You won't use it directly).

Well my friend, first at all, this is a awsome guide, it really help me to load the 5.1.1 on my SP. I Must said that even if this looks
overwhelming at the begining, it's pretty easy to do it.
Just for the FeedBack, this method works in:
T2 Ultra D5306 Single SIM, TELCEL.
I use the US CUSTOM Stock ROM 5.1.1 ( 19.4.A.0.182 ), if ask for the FTF, look at the FTF MEGAPOST.
Thanks to @rituraj_singh for find this method and @theokon to make the Easy-Mode Guide.
This thread must being Sticky.
PS: You have to add one step: When you reboot after the Flash, it can take a while in start the smartphone, It is to prevent panic if they see it takes a lot time to start, they might think it is bricked and try to restart it. :good:

This works great for rooting the phone (D5322) but for me link2sd doesn't read the 2nd partition and keeps giving me unable to mount errors.

You got the error when you try to mount on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 ? it and said that the mount fail?
I had that error as well, maybe you have to try this @virgilone2:
1.- Uninstall the Link2SD.
2.- Install the SD MAID and run it, clean it up.
3.- Reinstall the Link2SD.
4.- Install the Recovery (I use this) [ XZDualRecovery 2.8.21 ] or the same you use in the guide.
5.- Run the Recovery, and go to Wipe > Advance Wipe > Davik Cache, Swipe to Wipe, after it ends go to Reboot > System.
6.- Before your smartphone start as usual, going to pop one little window with a counter, wait to end (Maybe take a while).
7.-Run you Link2SD, it have to Mount the ext2 partition and ask for reboot, if isnt the case, just recreate the mount script.
8.- Enjoy your Link2SD in Lollipop 5.1.1 :good:
This works for me, i hope works for you as well

Windows 10 Driver Problems
When having updated to Windows 10 driver problems could happen.
When entering "fastboot devices" in your computer's terminal and nothinh happens it is like this.
You can solve this easily:
1) Plug in your phone in fastboot mode into the computer (Volume Up + Plug-In of the USB-cable)
2) Go to the"Devices manager" (or called simular, as I don't know how to translate it correctly), where you will find the unknown S1 fastboot driver.
3) Download the official Sony flashing tool "EMMA" and reinstall the "Android Studio" in order to get the correct drivers
4) For security download also the "Universal ADB Drivers Package" from chip.de and install it
5) Back in the Device Manager reinstall the correct driver selecting it from the drivers list (!): Sony SA0110 - ADB Interface driver

Well thanks!! Links needed to perform the steps suggested are everywhere in the realm of Internet. Uploading same thing again and again is waste of space,data and everything. Hope you understand.
Ftf can be downloaded through xperi-firm and recovery can be downloaded from nut's Xperia files website. SuperSU is already available in more than 1000 places on Internet. And prf creator is created by a certain developer which is already available on xda. So reposting his item might be considered as kinda theft/plagiarism. And this is already mentioned in this post that it's a sequel of previous post. So please do your own bit of work/home work before posting negative comments.

This post is a sequel of previous post. To perform the steps mentioned you need to be on earlier versions of Android. Like 5.0.2 or earlier. And recovery must be installed in that. If you're on 5.0.2 follow my post about how to root on 5.0.2.
