Hi everyone,
Im new to rooting so dont shame me here, be nice
I followed the steps by DoomLord to root my ZL, downloaded the ADB drivers properly (when tested, it shows my model number),
also flashed .423 kernel as instructed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458268
Everything went well until i tried the 1 click DoomLord root and i got this error as attached.
When i checked after that using rooter checker, my phone is not rooted.
Can someone help me? Thanks
In there the phone detected that your phone is on 2.67....are you sure that you flash. 423 correctly...?

YEp. Looks like there was an issue with the step that tells you to flash the .423 kernel ftf.
Try re-downloading that ftf file and flashing it again (then set USB debugging & Unknown sources to ON) and run the DoomLoRD Rooting Kit v18 again.
I had the same error and ends up I flashed the other kernel ftf file by accident.

are your adb drivers enabled? i tried tooting my arc s before and i thought that if i connect it and install the drivers i can go to rooting but then i found out that my windows don't enable the drivers automatically so i had to do it manually.
Thanks for sharing so much information. We'll definitely help you now.
Seriously. Give us more information, what phone, what firmware, what method you are trying to use. Otherwise - No.
Flash stock ROM .587
Set Settings->Xperia->USB Connectivity to MSC
Set USB Debugging
Enable Unknown Sources
flash the ready to root kernel .431
apply the root toolkit
flash stock .587 kernel
It worked for me

Hello! I'm having a problem with my xperia arc S, I tried to install a ROM (ULTIMATE HD 3.1) but I didn't have the wifi modules, so my phone got stuck on boot, so I figured that I got a bootloop, and went to flash the kernel (562), root again again and flash the new kernel (587) to try and install the ROM again, but the phone didn't root, but I flashed the .587 kernel and can't flash it back to .562. I can't figure what's the problem the flashtool says it's flashed but in setting the "compilation number" just says that it has the new kernel.
So my problem is how can I flash back to .562 and root the phone? I already tried this a few times ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118343[/url]), but it dosen't work. what else can I do? Try with another kernel?
I also tried this, but it didn't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711. I don't know if it helps but i have the bootloader locked.
Sorry if repost, google but didn't find anything related. thanks anyway.
Restore your phone using Sony Update Service, since you have locked bootloader.

If you cannot repair with Update Service, try PC Companion. It should offer the repair function.

Had a similar problem, caused by wrong kernel (at least i think so). Anyho, there was no "repair" option for me either.
What you should do is:
- Flash back to stock GB firmware (0.62)
- Root (using eRoot, it's a one click procedure.)
- Install CWM using RecoveryX is the simplest way i'd say
- Flash the kernel which Jared proposed (can't remember which one sorry)
- boot into CWM, and follow the instructions to install UltimadeHD rom. I'd suggest Tesla's instructions, they are fail-proof. Remember to click on "unlocked bootloader" if your bootloader is locked.

I think I did it thanks, i used a thread here (LINK), i used the generic stock rom and it solved it, thanks for your help. And thanks to everybody else =)
Hi guys,
I've got a bit of a problem, I decided to upgrade the girlfriends Arc S as shes got bored with the rom on it. Something went wrong during the flash or the proceedure or something and now I've got nothing but a sony logo when it turns on. I can flashboot it and access it with flashtool but when I try to flash something it says I need to root it first. Flashtool isn't giving me the option to root it (I was updating the rom to 4.1.2).
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance!

What did you try to flash with flashtool? Ftf files don't gives error about root... Kernels give the error when you try to flash on unlocked boatloader... Download a stock ftf file and flash...

Root Xperia ZL with Latest .2.67 fw (Yes The Latest 10.3.1.A.2.67)
I Take no credit for this I have done zero development work
All credits to the great @DooMLoRD
This is a just a Guide telling how to implement his method
Requirement
Latest Flashtool https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hAoiy5gSGVZU5zOHU4TFdJTkk/preview
latest Ftf file for fw .2.67
Ftf file for fw .423
Latest DoomLord Rooting Kit v18 (no else would work in this case)http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/29480564/file.html
Make sure device is on latest .2.67 fw (If not then wait for the official update)
NOTE: We need complete file only to flash the Kernel.sin & Loader.sin
OR
Use the files provided by me which contain the required files only (easier method)
These kernel files are from C6502 if you have another device they might not work. In that case use the complete FTF files for your device and root using complete ftf method
Latest .2.67 Kernel file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hAoiy5gSGVWktnM2p1MTk2VFU/edit
Older .423 Kernel file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hAoiy5gSGVbmtOY2lyMUc0OXM/edit?pli=1
How (Using complete ftf packages)
Flash only the kernel.sin & loader.sin from older .423ftf package using FlashTool
Uncheck all wipe options
Check all exclude option EXCEPT Exclude Kernel
Now flash this using flashtool
Reboot the device and make sure USB Debugging & Unknown Sources are allowed in settings
Now root using the latest DoomLord Kit v18 (No other version of kit will work)
Turn Off the Device and put in Flash Mode (Press Volume Down while attaching usb cable)
Now open the latest .2.67 ftf package and repeat the check and uncheck process as earlier
Flash only the Kernel.sin & Loader.sin
Reboot the Device
Done !!
OR
How (Using given ftf files) EASIER WAY
These kernel files are from C6502 if you have another device they might not work. In that case use the complete FTF files for your device and root using complete ftf method
Flash the .423 kernel ftf package using FlashTool
Reboot the device and make sure USB Debugging & Unknown Sources are allowed in settings
Now root using the latest DoomLord Kit v18 (No other version of kit will work)
Turn Off the Device and put in Flash Mode (Press Volume Down while attaching usb cable)
Now open the latest .2.67 kernel ftf package and flash it
Reboot the Device
Done !!
I take no responsibility for any kind of damage to your Phone
Do all this at your own risk
Thankyou @DooMLoRD for your great work
why another thread?

Thank You
Thanks for the guide!
The mobile ist rooted allright, but i noticed that the information (in the settings) about the kernel Version is the same as the one when I had flashed the .423 kernel. Did sth. go wrong? According to Flashtool flashing the kernels was successful. I added a screenshot of the current status. Is this the right .67 kernel?

For some reason the doomlord exploit kept repeating device not found error so I wasn't able to flash. I installed the flash/fastboot drivers, wondering if I missed anything.

There is definitely some problem with your adb driver installation

On mine, the numbers are the same and I have just flashed via PC Companion and did not root yet.
As sanjulgupta mentioned my ADB drivers were incorrect. I went through this process, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446666 for the drivers, it works now!

I have an Xperia M C1905 currently at 4.3 15.4.A.1.9.
I now want to root it again, and to do so I need to downgrade it back to 4.1.2. However, the flash process always fails with the following error message "ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.".
I looked for a sollution and found one, it said to install all drivers from flashtool/drivers/flashtool_drivers.exe which I have done, but I'm still getting the same error.
Unlocking the BootLoader is not an option, as my carrier is not allowing it.
How do you attach your phone to the computer? You must first press flash and then attach the phone only when you are asked to.
You don't have to.downgrade anymore as towelroot can root 4.3 locked bootloader. Look in the general section for step by step guide on doing it, I have rooted mine via that guide
Sent from my C1905 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I forgot to reply to this post.
The problem was because I didnt uncheck the file verification in FlashTool. I know about the new half-root method to use with rootfix on 4.3, I would have used it as a backup method is the other root method failed.
To people that may be finding this topic while searching on google, what I did was flashing 4.1.2, rooting it (Framaroot - SuperSU and Gandalf exploit), then flashing 4.3 excluding the system.sin .
There are Tutorials about it in the General section.
Other useful stuff to do after getting a rooted 4.3 is to swap the memory. I've been using a script that worked well, now I did it by placing a file into init.d. Again, all of this can be found on xda (google it, it will most likely spit out xda results).
I finished my work, so this topic can be locked, or left open for people to ask questions regarding the steps I did. Everything is working fine for me.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention that Reboot Fix is no longer necessary on 15.4.A.1.9 (even though it didn't work on 4.1.2). So far, during the re-installation of all my apps (was not required during the root process, I decided to do everything from scratch to remove all apps I haven't been using) my phone didn't reboot once, normally it would reboot roughly every 10th to 20th click. So I figure Sony has fixed the problem.
