[q] super noob wants to root his phone

HI THERE,
i AM SUPER NOOB. DO NOT USE ANY TERM WITHOUT EXPLAINING PLEASE.
i have the rogers play with 2.3.3. i did root it before using that app that would root your phon with just installing it. now after i updated to 2.3.3. that didnt work.
im wondering if now there is a new version of it?! if not please tell me what is the easiest wy to root the phone. and if u are going to help me please speak noob language. dont just say stuff cuz u assume i know it. im new to all this. never flashed any phone or anything like that. lol
thanks a lot. i need this cuz im getting low space msg and i have lotf or rogers crap on my phone that i want to get rid of. thank youuuuuuuu

You are so noob that you did not read the rules posted in this section. You are supposed to ask all questions in the general area.

You need to be saved from yourself so im not answering you question until you read until your eyes bleed.

Some proper English would help. If you don't know what your doing, and need step by step instructions, you shouldn't be rooting your Play anyway.

Xperia play on at&t

I would like to root the at&t xperia play if some one can help.

Can't unlock AT&T Play
Just go the AT&T play, and can't unlock the bootloader using the instructions on here nor on the official sonyericson instructions. Basically, can't get into fastboot mode at all, using search button and usb plugin as instructed.

There are two dudes on there forums that can do the bootloader unlock. I think its like $24usd. I'm gonna do mine payday (Friday). Pretty sure once you unlock the bootloader, the root should be easy. Look in the general section those dudes are in there.

Can he also do AT&T?

yes he can, he just did it for me last night. Was fast and easy, he even helped root it and answered any other questions i had.

Do i have to physically send the phone?
I am new to android (jumping off the iphone train) but i was under the impression that it wouldn't be hard to root the device myself.
I'm hoping to be quickly corrected here.

You don't have to send your phone. You install a few software needed for him to remotely do all the stuff in front of your eyes. And you open the back cover of the phone, link two points with a paper clip or something like that. A lot of people have done it and I haven't seen a single complaint (except for some people who think this is a ripoff and want it free).
The problem is that there are a few versions of "lock", carrier sim-lock, locked bootloader, not being able to use fastboot. But this method unlocks everything in a few minutes.

Jinx13 also does bootloader unlocking for like 15 bucks

I plan on picking up my phone tomorrow.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys

I have PMed Alejandrissimo and I am hoping this phones bootloader can be unlocked. I have AT&T Xperia Play(R800At) and the bloatware is killing me(and lack of freedom). Phone is brand new & it will be a shame to have to return for Atrix. I will pay the money as long as future updates dont re-lock bootloader, sim, & take root from me & I dont have to keep paying.

no worries, there is a workaround to downgrade to hboot .97 then you can get s-off and root.

I just got a replacement. My usb port broke and the new one came with hboot .98 again... I have been trying the steps in the link above but I can't find the fastboot they list.

Um...... 2 things.
1. you could ask nicely "if" work is being done to gain root to these two firmwares
2. its quite possible that devs are working on it but have yet to find a way to gain root access........
And the moral of this write up.......... politeness goes a long way..... asking like an a$$hole gets the opportunity doors slammed in your face.... seriously if you are not happy about "WHY THE HELL HAS NO ONE GOT OFF THEIR LAZY A***'S AND TRIED TO FIND A METHOD, then how about YOU find out how to do these things so YOU can do it your self.

There is a method that's the funny thing, I'm not saying anymore.

The real answhere is: NO ONE CARES A FU*K ABOUT LOCKED BOOTLOADER. Just unlock. Than you flash Doomkernel and you have root. Always on newest Firmware.
Locked Bootloader sucks in many ways.

Your age is not an excuse. Stop hiding from your dumbass mistakes. I had more sense and was more polite than you when I was 12. You used a similar defence when accusing me of copying your status bar. Stupidity is not limited to age and ill mannered logic definitely is NOT. There's also a roundabout method of rooting the .62 firmware(.69 is german only according to xperia blog) which if you cared to research would've found.

Why do we have to pay For bootloader unlock

Why do we have to pay but everyone else gets it free and why is nobody doing anything to change that and if you are how can I help if at all I find it dumb that we pay but everyone else has free or hacks and the people who know how to hack ours are making us pay? Thats crap that samsung users do and were better than that
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk 2

Because that's the way the cookie crumbles. We got a hack that requires paid software to unlock the bootloader on non-unlockable Plays. End of story

Not to sound harsh but if you did a search instead of making a new thread you will see this has been answered several times.
See this thread, my response.. see post #3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731521
quoted from me:
"he only way now is to pay $24 to have alejandrossimo do it for you. The reason for the fee is because the software used to unlock makes the person using it buy credits to do certain functions. So the price to unlock is not to pay someone to unlock your phone but to allow that person to pay to unlock it for you. Alejandrossino makes no no eyes on this. He is simply using moving the money you pay to the software to Plow unlocking. Sorry if this explanation is long. Just wanted to make it clear. "
Please in the future do a search first, if you still have questions then by all means post a thread. I am not trying to harp on you but sometimes doing a seach is your your best friend for quick answers.

Holy crap. Some people just dont understand ****. The software for unlocking cost maybe 150bucks. He would be stupid if he would offer free unlocks of the bloader. Stop trying to be fool and deal with it.

True, I was happy to pay tbf. Its not like its a fortune, the guy has to give up his time to walk you through it (I'm not a complete spastic and it still took several minutes for the explanation, reading etc) and the end result was that not only could I dabble more heavily with custom roms and so on but also carrier unlocked my device.
Both of those reasons are selfish to myself in that they only benefit me so why shouldnt I pay? I would do so again too, to reward those that are more learned than me in this field and take their time to help out the likes of me who dont know what they are doing.

Dude why are u still talking tye conversation was over if you read it says I UNDERSTAND, god people are so dumb no wonder u guys jumped on me ..

it's pretty easy but yeah, i wish it was free too i feel ya

Just keep watching his facebook page....I've seen free unlocks that run for 2 hours but most often I've seen $10 unlocks...like earlier today, even if I missed it l

You don't have to pay you can use s1tool
(Dunno about CDMA but it certainly works for anything else (SEMC or SETOOL certificate)).
You still have to do it over testpoint.

Just a bootloader unlock doesn't use setool credits either.

Alejandrissmo lives in the Mexico timeframe. Your best bet is to message him at night (Ca time).

I tried all the possibilities He hasnt replied yet. I added him on Gtalk. Lets hope he replies now.

I got my play unlocked by alejandrissimo. He told me that if i want ICS Stable, then I should flash the firmware for Neo L (mt25). that will give me stable ICS. does anyone know about this?

Yes, but the touchpads will not work.
