Anyone used it on the ion yet? Did you just choose the #2 option? I just did this on my Xperia P (LT22) and it worked like a charm. Make sure if you have a backup through the ICS backup & restore app you move it to the removeable SD card or back it up first onto your computer as this process will erase any backups stored on internal memory.
NOTE: On my Xperia P it didn't remove the previous backup I had sooooo...just backup your backup just in case

Rooted successfully. I chose the second option--everything was pretty straightforward.

Rooted successfully on new .19 ICS firmware. Used option 2. I think I'll take a swing at making a ROM very soon.

I for one would love a nice custom ROM for the Ion. Something lightweight, fast, battery optimisations. I loved the Android Revolution HD custom ROMs for my HTC Incredible S. The guy took stock roms and did what HTC should have done: made them fast, efficient, and awesome
I may just port [email protected]'s Xperia S rom since the phones are nearly the same.

I had been wondering about that. The phone have very few differences. The ones of note are the different radio and that the Ion has an SD slot. Aside from that I think it's all the same guts.
tried this method with the version 6 (Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v6) everything went smoothly and finished,
with the command prompt saying:
"You can close all open command-prompts now!
After reboot all is done! have fun!
Bin4ry
Press any key to continue..."
but when i run "Roor Checker" : Sorry! this device does not have proper root access"
i am so confused, there is no backup and restore, i mean i see it in all apps but there is no app i can open on my phone D: using the sony ics update why cant i find backups?

You should have installed an app called Back up and restore, once it gets to that point you go to your phone Leaving it plugged into the pc and leaving the CMD window open, open the app and click restore, it should say it failed on your phone but the CMD says it worked it should reboot twice and you should be G2G
Confirmed! LT28i Build 6.1.E.1.19 Rogers Phone
Confirmed working!
That'is WAY TOO Simple...
With v9
Root confirmed by Root Checker Basic V4.9 and Root Explorer can mount system folder r/w
Thanks a lot!

Download Flash tool and the 105 FtF flash it to your phone, Superuser is gone, put your phone back on Flashtool and click the Lock, youll now have SuperSU instead, when Superuser updates it stopped working, for me at least.

Check your settings in SuperSU or SuperUser, it may be set to auto deny.
Check the settings,.... I've tried it on "prompt" and "allow" and still the apps gets denied access
I keep running this and it keeps saying cannot specify path, sorry for all the noob questions. I'm use to good ol' sammy and Odin

+1, what happened before we apply this 'fix' ?
if you havent noticed it... you dont need the fix ;P
Nice work !
A CMW package would be great
This is great.
Thanks man, it's work
Does the problem only occur with the stock launcher or elsewhere in the UI?
It happens to other app as well like secret livewallpaper apps (from galaxy s 2).
is there any other method of installing this? like CWM or using root explorer?
Cheers

Oh, I thought you were on your phone's shell. You need to type that command when you're on your phone's shell, or 'adb remount' from your computer if that works.
(Or you could always use Root Explorer, just remember to remount.)
here is the requested update.zip for cwm3
should I choose "install from sd card" or "choose update.zip" when choosing that file in recovery?

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I have had my Moto Defy since March and love it. I have had a good look about on here and although helpful, some of the terms used are just making no sense!
I have the T-mobile bloat on it and would like to get rid, but am scared I will brick the phone with no proper back-up.
I have read and understood (mostly) the tutorial on how to root the phone but would like an active and recent back up of the phone system before I start. Or is this not necessary?
Apologies for posting what most would think is the bread and butter of rooting but would like some confidence boosters before starting!
You will want to install 2ndInit. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
To use reboot the phone and watch for the blue LED. When you see it click volume down immediately. You will see a list of options, including backup and recovery.
If you plan to install ROMs later you can use Titanium backup found in the market to backup apps.
give it a go
you should be ok to root and flash. I think it is very rare for the defy to get bricked.
You will need to root the defy to really open it up.
Once rooted, you can use apps that can freeze/disable any system app, which is just as good as removing them since the defy has alot of memory.
reware root backup - can backup your calendar, contacts, sms and other personal data (doesnt backup apps well).
just give it a go.

Installed the 64bit moto drivers and let it do its thing then clicked root and that is what I get on the right side of the screen?
When extracting Superoneclick, my stupid anti-virus deleted gingerbreak? Is this the issue?
You might just try the gingerbreak apk...I use it even on froyo with success.
Otherwise, yeah you may want to disable anti virus.

I OTA updated to 4.2.2 I believe and am now on M919UVUAMDL which I think is the primary root of my issues if I have read correctly. I used ODIN and tried to put both the TWRP and CWM recovery files for root on their and it didn't work, I then tried using the setUIDrestrictRemovedKernel thingamajig to fix this issue but that doesn't seem to work either, then I tried motochopper 1.1 to root the device and it failed at the root. I have factory restored and tried again individually on these processes and to no avail.

thank you thank you, about time someone pointed me in the right direction I was roaming the google machine aimlessly to try and find the proper root procedure. thanks again, thanks thanks thanks
So I just got rom manager and want to test my titanium backup restore.zip but it says I have to have cwm recovery first, do I already have it through the root method you gave or do I need to do that as well. Also if I flash a new mod on my phone do I need to ensure the titanium backup is on the sd card or will it remain on the device? :flamethrower:

FOR storing apps:use LINK2SD:
Get the app from here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
first guys XM/Mdual dont support ext4....please format ur sd 2nd partition to fat32...then u can link the apps....or else u will endup in bootloop...
use mini partition tools for windows...its easy to use...and easy to create a partition....
and connect your phone with MSC mode to PC for partitioning with the mini partition...which will in settings/xperia/usb connectivity/usb connection mode..
see here http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/
and follow the procedure in that site after 3rd step that is backup sd step in that site....[dont try to use that method of rooting...its not for m,just use guide for Creation of partition] ...
and how to link all given on above site...so now we can link apps which is going to be stored on SD 2nd partiton
FOR storing Game data and how to play game:use GL2SD:
get the app from here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp
Guide:
first whatever game u need to play...use some website to download them ...bcoz u wont have space required in internal sdcard if u want to download from playstore...
so i assume u have downloaded the game apk + data from some website....and u have extracrted the zip or rar to somewhere in pc...
1.copy the apk to sdcard1...[Note:sdcard1 is ur external sdcard]
2.see the data folder...
mostly data folder has game name inside them mostly android/obb/game name/ or android/data/game name/ [game name will start as com.xxxxxx.yyy] structure will be followed and
some gameloft or reputed company will have their company name/games/game name/ [game name will start as com.xxxxxx.yyy] structure for games
3.now if it has .obb format file inside the above given structures...then copy game name folder and place them in sdcard1/obb/ [eg:sdcard1/obb/com.rockstar.gta3/xxyyyy.obb]
or if it has many folders and files inside the above structure....then copy the game name folder and place them in sdcard1/data/ [eg:sdcard1/data/com.rockstar.gta3/]
4.now install game.apk from sdcard1 and open gl2sd
5.click mount [the joined chain symbol at top] and click play the game...if u didnt see game on list ...just open setting go down and click recover list
6.if u download some medium size game like 250mb directly from playstore..then open gl2sd and click top right button and choose move data and wait till it moves data] after that ur game data is stored on sdcard1 ....now play with same step 5
7.if game didnt open or cant play or some error...restart ur phone...and repeat the 5th step...
8.if game work..cool but remember to unmount[unlinked chain on top] after u finished playing games..or u cant paste anything in sdcard1
[Note:To run game you must mount after every reboot and unmount if u r going to copy some files to sdcard1]
if u cant understand what i said about gl2sd

Hi, i have c1905 full root and was following the procedures for making a second partition. When i get the option for picking FAT32 in the link2sd app the phone reboots itself and stuck on a loop. Does anyone have any ideas to help please.

Have you already have root access to your link2sd?
For 2nd partitions in sdcard format to ext3 and in link2sd select ext3 too.
Sorry for my English

Hi, I followed the instructions perfectly for my SingleSim Xperia M C1905 (firmware 15.1.C.2.8) but I can only get the half root. After doing the second part of the steps to fully root, when i try to RW using Root Explorer the phone reboots. So I am thinking the problem is somewhere in the last step when I do the Anto Kus Tool. Below is the result of using the Anto Kus Tool. The part below in bold looks like an error of some kind (rm failed for -f etc) and my phone is NOT being fully rooted (remains at only half root). Can someone please tell me what the below is saying? Some sort of error message right? Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be? I have tried using the Anto Kus Tool like five times and always the same result as below.... and the phone remains at half-root. I don't know what to try next

And I just tried it again after playing around with BusyBox Free and this time I get a different Anto Kus wording result (in bold below) but again I still have only the half-root (when I click RW in Root Explorer my phone still reboots) :crying: Still not working!
What does it mean "installing install-recovery.sh instead" at the end of the Anto Kus Tool message? Does this mean the tool is installing something other that is should be instead? Is this why it's not working?

And now the third try today. I am not giving up haha! Thinking perhaps the problem is with the BusyBox Free version I went ahead and uninstalled BusyBox Free and installed the BusyBox Pro version. I did this because the instructions on the first page say to install BusyBox and "give Smart Install" and since Smart Install is not available with the free version I got the Pro version.
So when I clicked the BusyBox Pro icon in the apps tray for the first time it took a long time to load which I think is normal. Then I enabled Smart Install and clicked install. Now it is saying that BusyBox 1.22.1-Stericson is installed to /system/xbin as i think it should be. So I am doing everything right so far right?
So now I run the Anto Kus Root Fixer again (Windows7 64 bit) and again it doesn't work (RW doesn't work, phone reboots). Below is the wording from the latest Anto Kus Root Fixer attempt. What is wrong?
When I run a Root Checker app I got from the Play Store it says this (but like I said my phone reboots when I try to RW)
SU su found [/system/xbin]Version 1.93:Supersu

So now it's the next day. I am determined to get full root. But again FAIL.
I started out the day by removing SD Card and doing a FACTORY RESET of my Xperia M. Then first thing I did was do the rooting instructions. But again full root FAIL. I am only able to get the half-root just like before. I am telling you that the Anto Kus Tool does not work or a VERY IMPORTANT KEY PART of the instructions is missing!
Well hopefully when the new KitKAt update for XperiaM comes out next month then a new rooting method will need be devised in order to root these damn Xperia M's. Because right now the current full-root method just does not work. And I have tried and tried and tried again again again
Well, here we are again trying to full-root my Xperia M.
This time I took my girlfriends Xperia M and followed the steps, hers has same firmware as mine. And it all worked perfect. No problems at all to get the full root. One thing I noticed different is that when I used the the Anto Kus Tool on my girlfriend's phone it only rebooted once during the whole procedure while with mine it rebooted twice (the second time right at the point where the Anto Kus tool says "Wait a few seconds to see if it worked ok then..." then my phone reboots a second time while with hers it didn't. I am assuming that that check is to see if the RW works. And of course mine always reboots as I have been explaining for the past week as I am not achieving the full root.
So there is something wrong with my phone. I need to totally erase it and start all over to reinstall the Sony Android OS etc. But I don't know how to do that so I will open a new thread and ask how...
So the moral of this story is that yes, the instructions work fine however not with every phone. With mine it doesn't, then I followed the same procedure that I had used on mine with her Xperia M and it did work fine, first time.

Well, it worked fine first time for me. Anyway, if you want to reflash stock firmware then use Sony's PCC. Go to Update and then repair (assuming you have a locked bootloader, if you don't then download an FTF and flash it)

Yes thank you, after so many tries I finally got full root. I had to do the repair with Sony PC Companion exactly how you said. Now full-root. I could tell it was working right away during the Anto Kus rootfixer because it rebooted only once during the procedure. And then RW was good to go/ Oh happy days
could not update system apps after using link2sd
Thanks for this post ...
m a noob at all this but hv been visiting xda forums since I purchased my xperia M 2 months back.
I have successfully rooted my phone, installed link2sd after lots of trials and now m facing an error while updating any system app.

Ah yes, I got that too. But I was tinkering with Link2SD setting so I can't be sure.
I fixed it by going into Link2SD Plus (running Plus if it makes difference) and selected settings -> Install Location -> Automatic
I did have the option 'External' set, cause I thought that made more scene, but maybe some apps need the option of Internal or External.
Have a look and see if this applies to your problem.
thanks

They seem to work but then nothing happens on the phone, it's not rooted. Do you have any idea why ?
Thank you for your help.
Assuming your phone is on 20e, use the second method in this thread...

Thank you it worked ! Just one strange thing if that can help others, after rooting it I launched Root Checker Basic to check root access and it took a good minutes (way longer than normal) to tell me that I was not rooted, which was strange so I decided to double check with Titanium Backup and TB directly told me that I had Root access asked me to grantit to Root Checker, so I did then when I ran Root Checker it told me that I was Rooted. So double check ! And again thank you to redduc900 !
Can anyone pls help me to root my D85120e...
Many thanks
