Hi everyone, how you all doing?
I have the SE Xperia Play R800a and i don't know a lot about rooting, but i want to root my phone, for the last two day's i've been searching and searching for how to do it, but i only find threads that are about continuing or if this didnt work and that didnt work, and something about bootloader. I dont know what most of that stuff mean, im still a noob xD sorry if this has been posted before....but how do i do it?
Phone: SE Xperia Play
Modle: R800a
Android Version: 2.3.4
Build number: 4.0.2.A.0.42
Never been attempted to be rooted yet..
Please someone help me out? A link or a guide it self will do!

i dont think it worked...any other ways? :/
how about flashtools
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351299
First of all. To flash any roms at all on anything other than an r800i, you must install an r800i FTF. After that root using Doomlord's root kit in the first post.
if you're trying to root your phone use Superoneclick
Dude try superoneclick, it's simple big button app, or flashtool where you just click the open lock button

Hi guys, I hate to be the new guy asking for something that's more than likely been answered, but I honestly did search for hours on the site before I broke apart and joined the forum to ask.
Basically, I'm new to the android hacking scene and want to Root my Xperia Play R800i that is running 2.3.4, having been upgraded from 2.3.2 . But i'd like to be able to do this without unlocking the bootloader (and according to the system menu, the boot can be unlocked, i just choose to prefer to not unlock it).
Is this possible ? Because the 3 tools I tried that say they supposedly support this, haven't worked for me :
SuperOneClick 2.2
DooMLoRD V3
Root Unroot Sony 1.5
So, can anyone help me out in this one ? Thanks in advanced
Alpha
For 2.3.2 its called gingerbreak and for 2.3.3-2.3.4 its called zergrush. Search for those.
hi alpha
gingerbreak is not working on 2.3.4
and for use doomlord kernel you have to unlock your bootloader .
there is one way to roor/unroot your beautiful xperia play , use oneclickrool ( https://shortfuse.org ) latest version.it works %100 , i've used it yesterday on my phone 2.3.4 (( .....0.58 ))
Huh.... Oneclickroot worked when uing that new version. 2.2 didn't work, 2.3 did though. Handy.
Thank you very much Mehdi.Moah !

when i use superoneclick should i select zergrush exploit
Leave it as AUTO don't select.
Also, it may take a few tried. I had to try like 3-4 times, rebooting each time for it to work.
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled too. First time it faiked for me I forgot to do that

NO. you can only root via recovery on .62 but I believe you can downgrade then root or something.

Hello xda forum!
I´m kinda noob in the world of custimizing android devices, my first device was a SGA so that was an easy one, but now I have a xperia arc s with the official 4.0.4 rom made by sony the build number is 4.1.B.0 and I want to root it but i can´t, I have tried the DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.zip method but it failed i think because it requires the build no 4.1.A , the 2nd atempt was to flash a kernel made also by doomlord to put the build number into 4.1.A or somthing like that but it also failed becuse i can´t boot into fastboot mode, so i made a research around xda forum and I found that some devices are locked by the mobile operator, so they can´t boot into fastboot mode. Now my question is does this device is rubish or do I have a solution? what can i do?
thanx!! to all the people that can help me.
P.D.1: sorry for my bad english xD
P.D.2: don´t be like "uuhh! look around xda, you´ll find the answer" please I need some help.

Hi everyone, I'm sorry if this has been answered before as I've actually found many threads but they all seem to redirect to the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
My questions is as follows; using the method above, how can I update an Xperia S that is already rooted without loosing root? The thread above seems to explain how to root altogether, but I just want to update and keep the root. Thanks in advance for any help provided. My Xperia S is on 6.1.A.0.452 and I'd like to have 6.1.A.2.45. I've also seen people talk about JellyBean but as far as I know that's not available on the Xperia S until February, how are these people getting it?
.45 and .50 can be rooted...

No thats not what I meant. I have it rooted, I root all my phones.
I need Kernals and Roms and help with them, Read my whole post not just the title. :cyclops:
I recommend the NXT Lite rom and Doom kernel, though there might be other options. I posted the flashing instruction here, in the second part of the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36910260#post36910260
People had success unlocking the sim and bootloader of their Play using WotanServer, so try it.

Its not possible if you are on a locked bootloader.
If unlocked just flash doomkernel v14.

Via Sony's website you can have your bootloader unlocked here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Then you can root ANY firmware by installing a superuser.zip in recovery.

oh ok, so I can unlock the bootloader even if my firm is .69? because somebody told me I cant..
and, just so I can be sure, how do I install it (the superuser)?
You can unlock your bootloader with the .69 firmware.
You can downgrade with flashtool. If you just want to root say it I help you. (I've unlocked my bootloader but I don't remember me how it works)

so, in the tutorial he posted u can skip the unlock bootloader part? I dont need unlocked bootloader for the rooting part of that tutorial?
if so, than why did he said that u need unlocked bootloader? I`m confused
oh, and btw, can u help me with this rooting? I sent u pm but u didnt send back..
I write it here for you other people (because no pm).
I'm not responsible for bricked or broken devices. This progress will wipe all of your data.
1. Download the .58 Firmware
2. Install Flashtool
3. Click on flash->flashmode->choose the .58 Firmware->let it prepare->plug your phone in like it stand there
If it don't work the first time taste it again.
If flashtool don't flash anymore scroll a bit in flashtool.
If the progress is finished your phone will boot (or you turn it on). Go in the settings->application and tick unknown sources and go in the settings->application->development and tick USB debugging.
ROOT:1.Open flashtool
2.click advanced->root->via ZergRush. I think then will come a Window how to plug the phone in, if there comes no Window just plug your phone in normal. I don't know if you must plug in before or after you click on "root via ZergRush". Just taste it.
Don't update your phone because that probably brakes/bricks your phone.
