Well, first of all I've read this Tutorial (How-TO and it says that if my Play has an update after November 11 I can't root it that way.
Does it that mean that I will never be able to root it? There is a way to root such models with that update?
Any advice would be aprecciated.
These are my phone specifications:
R800a
Android 2.3.3
3.0.1.A.0.145
2.6.32.9
Sim Locked
Thanks in advance for the support, and thanks to all devs who help us noobies...
Superoneclick should work for you. Google it.

I'm pretty sure that flashtool will root that no problem too!

I used to have an Xperia X10a and I flashed it the North American Version using flashtool and some ftf files.
Can I root it and flash it to another version using this tool and having these specifications?
I dont want to brick my phone but I want to have root access and if possible change to another build, because Telcel is pretty bad and consumes a little space in memory.
Thanks to all of you who have answered my questions and thanks again for the help.
Yea it should work for you no problem!

Yes it is, as long as you make the software compatible with a stock kernel.
Anyways, seems like our ION is losing

I'm not sure what you've tried exactly, but you do know that it's not necessary to unlock the bootloader to root the phone right?

I have the same problem. I think that it is due to an official upgrate for Android 4.0.4 with PCC. Even if I use other way to root the mobile I can't. It is impossible to unlook the bootloader with the official way and I currently do not find another way to do it.
I am still looking for solution. :silly:

Yea you can if you relock your bootloader. The advantages you will get after relocking will be bravia engine, you can receive updates through sony pc companion but you won't able to flash any custom ROM (CM 10 , CM 10.1 etc etc) or any kernel.

Thanks to kangi26 ( Forum moderator) , this thread has been made as a sticky.
Could anyone tell me about a hack/tweak/app that change the vibration feedback intensity? Esp. the haptic feedback when pressing the soft buttons to control back-home-menu. I feel the feedback is bit too much.
hi guys ,
if i unlock my xs's boot-loader , what functions will i loose other than BE and music-info ? because these functions can be back by relocking BL again .
thanks !

AFAIK, BE, Music Info, update support via Sony Update Service and PCM... That is all... Apart from that, it opens up a whole lot of new opportunities to go crazy with your device..

seems its pretty clear... mostly Xperia S/SL users seem to be interested...
once JB is released and the kernel sources are out I will be starting work on DooMKernel for the msm8660 devices...
Xperia S will be supported by default as i have the user donated device with me (last year the users donated the Xperia S to me)... i was planning to extend support to other Sony msm8660 devices (Xperia ION, Xperia Acro S)...
