Root without micro-USB port - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's possible root my Xperia Arc without using the cable? My port don't work, the pins are broken.
I can connect to it by SSH, but idk if this helps...
Thanks.

Only if you have unlocked bootloader or a recovery(CWM) installed in the ROM's /system folder.
1st can not be done without micro-USB port, 2nd can be installed via Play Store.

Hmm, if the phone wasn't updated to latest gb or ics (no need to downgrade via flashtool) maybe it is possible to use wireless adb.

I have the last version of official ICS of Sony.
It's possible to connect with ADB wirelessly without root, but I need to pair it before, connecting it with USB, and that's not an option for me.

You don't need usb for wireless adb. But! You are updated so it won't help

Just like they said, try wireless adb and execute script by bin4ry. With a little amount of luck you may succeed.
And BTW, thread moved to Q&A

Its possible do it with a non-rooted phone without conecting it before?? How can I do it? I didn't found a solution...

EDIT: See my next post.

I didn't found anithing about this. Its impossible connect with ADB by wireless if you are not root or you don't pair the device with the cable. I searched about this on Google hundreds of times, and there's no way!! If anyone another way, post it here pls.. But i repeat... i didn't found anything...

Well if you found nothing, no one else going to, so looks like the answer to your original question, is no.

I said before - you have updated phone so nothing to do without flashtool downgrade. I forgot that wireless adb need root - my mistake.
Another way - repair phone. Don't waste more time trying, someone will install new usb port in few minutes for few $.

Have you tried "z4root"?

From what I have read there is currently not a method to root this update. Be patient though.
dam

I haven't seen any evidence that it is possible to flash back to the original stock rom.
But please let us know if it works.

Usb connection is always the fastest connect plus you keep your phone charged. How hard is that

No one is really working with 2.1 anymore. There has only been limited success with the Gingerbreak. It does not work for everyone. Are you looking to just root your phone? The CWM 2.5.x should work.
Actually this was tested on 2.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076967
2.5 still gives me a phone is not connected and i have debug mode on and the samsung drivers instaled and restarted both my pc and phone so i will have to try the no pc method

The phone not connected is a USB problem. Either try another cable or another USB port. Only one port works on my laptop, none work on my main computer. Drivers try to install forever.
So try another port and another cable. You may have to reboot your computer after trying and getting that message.
was the pc less root one made for 2.1?

If you mean the Gingerbreak, it barely works on 2.2 phones, but you certainly can try it. Is there any reason you don't want to go to 2.2? You can Odin to a EC05 prerooted ROM. There are videos for rooting without a PC if you want to see:

If you can use regular Sprint ROMs then yes. Odin, info and 2.2 tar are here:

Yes. Then you will need to do to it whatever it is that makes it work on Boost.
Allright idk what else i would have to do i backed up my apn i hope thats all i need

Not familiar with that aspect. Did you convert it to Boost or did someone do it for you? Because Odin'ing will make it like an out-of-the-box Sprint phone, so then you gotta do the Boost thing.
i ordered it already setup to to boost. blah idk

Don't think you should use Odin then. Check out the Boost rooting video I posted for you.
The conversion to make it work on Boost seems complicated. Found a post here:

Also found this thread that says Odin can be used with no problem:

My next step...

I recently came into the possession of an Xperia Play and I have been left confused by the situation. The touch screen does not work but the buttons do... It is running the default modded Sony version of Android, It is a few months old and I have a feeling that it is a software problem rather than a hardware problem. I am wondering if there is any rooting method that would be suitable for my situation or should I just give up on the phone?
Any help would be appreciated
flash back to stock and check the touchscreen,

It's not rooted and it's already running the stock version of aneroid. I'm trying to figure out if I could root it without being able to access the phone's settings. I believe installing third party apps is enabled. Should I just try superoneclick or would I risk bricking it
Yii don't need to have it rooted to flash back to stock...just download the stock.ftf and flash it via flashtool

There's a problem with that too. Flashtool wont recognise that there's a device connected since I can access the "Allow USB" on my phone Can you think of any ways around that?

rooting Xperia T is realy easy :
there is no problem if you are on 18.1.A.1.14. it's explained in Google...
if you are on 18.1.a.1.21 :
Flash only the kernel 18.1.a.1.14 with Flashtool.
start the phone and connected it to PC (even if the phone is blocked on "updating apps")
Root the phone with RootKitXperia (last version is 20140719)
shutdown the phone
Flash only the kernel 18.1.a.1.21 with Flashtool.
start the phone
run SuperSu and accept upgrade.
in order to well connect the phone to PC you need to allow debbug USB, and to put the scard in MSC mode

Updating my rooted phone without an A to C cable (safely)

Hey guys,
I want to update my 5X(7.0, NRD90M) to the September security patch(7.0, NRD90R). I'm currently rooted with TWRP installed. How do I go about doing this? I can't attach to my PC and use the android SDK thingamajig because I don't have an A to C cable. Is there any way to do this on my phone without a PC, or perhaps wirelessly with my PC?
Oh, and, updating and taking the OTA like I normally would does nothing. It tells me the update is downloaded, but when I try to install it, it boots into TWRP and does nothing
Thanks in advance!

Just buy the proper cable and flash a full stock rom (bootloader and radio, boot, system) in fastboot and reroot, afaik you need a non-modifed stock rom to flash an OTA fil.

I understand this is an option, but is there no other solution? I don't have a need whatsoever for an A to C cable currently. If I'd have to buy one it would be just for updating. If this is my only option I think I'll just stick with my current version of Android until I can loan a USB-C PC or something. I don't think I'll spend $15 on a cable I'll only use once a month :/
