So i just bought a refurbished Sony Xperia Ion from eBay. The seller said it was unlocked, but i haven't tested yet since Its at&t and so is my provider. Anywhoo, I would like to Flash CM10 to it but, I can't find any somewhat simple instructions on how to root it first. The boot loader is also locked. Also I'm somewhat new to rooting, I was a previous jailbreaker before i switched to android (I still love both operating systems). I guess you could say had some practice when i had my Galaxy s4. Any links or just a written instructions would be a great help. Thanks!

And I would also suggest you to deodex your rom after rooting and installing cwm. Only then you can apply all themes to your ion

Enable usb debugging in developer options in settings. Install proper adb drivers. Download the zip. Extract it to a folder and then run that batch file from there. You will be asked to press enter to proceed. Make sure you have unknown sources enabled in your settings. If you follow all the steps it will definitely work. Drivers are generally headache. Generally the install automatically by pc companion and software update service app by Sony or you can download from the site of adb drivers.

anyone else have anything on this?
Just got my phone back from sonic and had him put it back to stock... software number 1.10.605.8... Which root, unlock, s off method do I need to use?! Htcdev or rumrunner?! Thanks in advance

If Sonic did his java card magic, you are s-off. Search this forum using the exact words from your question and those exact threads regarding root, OTA updates and how to unlock without HTCdev. Great threads and easy!

I started with a 100% stock phone direct from Verizon. It had the 1.10.605.8 on it. Before I planed to use rumrunner I let it do the system update to 1.10.605.10 and so that is the version of rumrunner I downloaded and used. The post above mine has the links that I used.
1) Does knox only void your warranty? Because I got my phone off eBay sooo I don't have a warranty anyway
2) How can I flash both mk2 radios? I only see threads to flash the mk2 basic radio but none for the LTE radio.
Will flashing an ota package do this fine? Will I loose root?
So many questions!
Are you on 4.2 or 4.3?

Taking the ota will give you both radios. You don't want that, however.

You would lose root if you did take the ota.

Ok thanks for the help I really appreciate it but nothing working there Ive read everything and tried to install the mk5 modem from videotron but it PASS with odin but in my information my basebrand dont change I dunno why I just wanna upgrade to wicked 10 with no data drop and all this stuff XD but thanks again
Sorry it's not working for you. It seems like if you had the Canadian 4.3 modem you'd be straight. This is what mine looks like on wicked 10. MDL bootloader. Mk2 modem.

Alright I will take a look ! Thanks for your help
I have read many posts from people who say it sometimes takes multiple attempts to get the MK2 modem to stick. That didn't happen to me, but seems common.

anyone know about the "season kernel" Im stuck on it, not sure what to do . Tried a few odin files and not luck to revert to stock
Wifi works. Flashed modem twice (tried MK2 and NB4), also NON-HLOS. Baseband/IMEI/phone number have valid values. Rooted and on custom ROM for 4.4.2.
I'd flash back to stock.
