go to settings > about phone > which build number do you have? if you have the .42 or .58 then you can root your phone with SuperOneClick, it's quite simple

Have just checked and its build number 42
Thanks

If you unlock it, you can just install root from recovery in custom kernel.

Are you sure you are using appropriate kernel ? U hope you're not installing other roms over jb kernel ... That just won't work.

What could i be doing wrong

xperia play root

What kind of benefits do I gain once I root my at&t xperia play 4g? I want to know before i actually root it
Main reasons i like to root are to install an adblocker, get rid of bloat apps idon't care about and to overclock(once you unlock the bootloader and install a kernel). Also it allows you to use things like titanium backup to make backups which are handy.
Finally, it's just fun. It's nice to know how to do it and know you have control of your own phone.
Is it possible at all to overclock on stock ROM as I have seen some paid apps which overclock and wondered if it would work

Stock rom? Yes. Stock kernel? No. You need an unlocked bootloader to overclock the Play. End of story
Thanks, do you know if there's a free way to overclock on stock ROM?

If you can find a free way to unlock your bootloader, then yes. Otherwise, again, no.

[Q] Xperia M Rooting help!

Hello everyone, recently i bought my first Android phone the Sony Xperia M. I always had Apple phones and i was very acquainted with Jailbreaking and all that stuff. I found out that Android had a similar process call rooting but i didnĀ“t know what method is the best for my phone.
First of all my Xperia M model is C1904, Android 4.1.2 and firmware 15.1.C.2.8
So long story short, how can i root my phone, and what is the best way to do it?
Thanks!:good:

Thanks for the help, i have some questions, can i let my phone on half root? I dont think i need to edit system files and can i use a newer version of framaroot?
You can't really do anything with half root it just puts it on but you can't edit anything without it rebooting, and yes you can its just the one I was given so I shared it

Nice, i succesfully rooted my phone now what ROMS and root apps can my Xperia M use?
Any Rom on here just read installation guide fully in the Rom threads and root apps look on playstore search 'root' you'll not be able to overclock the cpu as you need a custom kernel to do that which there are a couple on here

Forgot to mention you need to check to see if you can unlock your bootloader open up dialler and put in *#*#7378423#*#* then go thru to find rooting status bootloader unlock allowed = will either say yes or no. If it says yes then you can if it says no then you can't at the moment. Bootloader has to be unlocked to flash custom kernels and roms at the moment

What is boot loader activated?
You need to unlock it first, there s a official way from Sony and also lots of threads are here how to unlock it go through it
I think you are new to android,before you do anything, take backup,download flashtool,and latest firmware ftf file.
And another thing,rooting is not similar to jailbreak,apple won't allow you to do anything on your phone even after jailbreak which android does.

Looking for a flashable stock rom

Anyone show me or tell me if there is a flashable stock att ROM i can use ?

This site has all the released official roms:

Organized by device and carrier. But the latest official rom has a very unfriendly bootloader and security system. Think twice amigo.
