[Q] some questions befor I root

Hi everybody,,
I am new here and I really need some answers before I root my phone.
I have xperi arc and I live in university campus,so I need to use proxy to open the internet.
what are the consequences of the rooting?
do I loose my warranty? do I loose the official update from SE? ( I have xperia arc), if yes then is there any way to update when rooted?
What I get more if I unlocked the bootloader?
if I unroot my phone , will it be exactly the same as before?
same questuon for the bootloader.
sorry if that was too long

Did you bother searching? Or perhaps you just missed the sticky?
Anyway, please refer to [Guide] All in one 'Namaste guide' to Bootloader unlocking, Rooting, Flashing & more. This should clear most of your doubts.
While you're at it, just watch this video.

Well yes i searched ,, but i didn't expect to find a general subject in xperia forums
i googled it but nothing could answer mu questions exactly
maybe because of my English
or maybe i don't know what should I write in the search box!
anyway,,, my thanks to you and yes iam noob

Glad I could help but do use the search more often.
Cheers!

unlocking bootloader risk

How huge is the risk of bricking HTC One V while unlocking bootloader?
Does it can be evaluated somehow?
For example: in SE Xperia X8 there were a "trick", that you have to look, when your phone were produced and with that information you were able to evaluate, that you will brick your phone or not...
Does it works with HTC One V?

yo dude, i've JUST sold the X8 to come to the HOV, and i can tell you the bootloader unlock is 1000x more safe, it's from HTCDEV, the only way your going to brick it is by some sort of magic or you do something stupid.

HTC supports unlocking the bootloader, you don't need to do any "unofficial" hacking
You will have no problems if you follow the steps on the HTC developer website (the forum won't let me post the link for you, google htcdev unlock bootloader)

Hi
Just follow the excelent step-by-step tutorial here

Also if for some reason you need to "go back" to unrooted stock device this is also really easy

[Q] Bootloader unlock on Sony Xperia S with ICS

Hello. The forum search isn't working at the moment so apologies in advance if I'm sounding lazy. I've just taken delivery of a brand new Sony Xperia S which is locked to O2 UK and has the official 6.1.A.0.453 firmware installed on it. In the service configuration menu it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No. How do I go about unlocking the bootloader please? Many thanks in advance!

Questions go in Q&A section ...........

As i wrote on the thread where you asked for 4.1 JellyBean.
Click the first line in my signature there you find all you need to Root or Bootloader unlock.
And use the SEARCH of the forum. (Forum-rules !!)
All your questions are asked multiple times and answered here !
Also about making your phone faster. (debloat, custom rom, custom kernel, overclock [at your own risk!!] )

Before starting new threads try googling for answers, and go read the stickys in the general section.

Yes, and go to the general section and read the stickys before starting threads asking for what's been posted numerous times. Just because you're a noob doesn't mean you can't read.
