Have your phone on with USB debugging and unknown sources enabled. Plug in the USB and open the rooting .bat file. Choose option 2 then hit enter. Open backup & restore and restore the rootme backup. Don't touch it from there (unless a box pops up on the phone which you can hit okay) phone will reboot and it should do its thing. The .bat file screen will tell you everything so read what it says. Shouldn't be any hitting of any other option except 2 for the Sony phones.

Pretty ridiculous for ATT to leave that app out to begin with.
This method has worked for me on all the ics fws, so I don't know. Maybe it was a bad flash, try wiping and flashing ics again.

Uhhhh noo to much work am trying to root with the new method

There are threads detailing how to use flashtool and how to flash the ion. You should read them thoroughly. It is pretty simple.

Hmmp..... Any one have screenshot? Of how to do this.

(DS) Help! Reboot everytime I try to use gl2sd or other root app

I rooted my xperia m dual using vroot 1.7.1. Replaced the Chinese superuser with supersu 1.65. I got the root permissions this way. Also installed busybox v1.21.1 in system/xbin using normal install method. Then I try gl2sd, but whenever I click on mount, after mounting, my device reboots. I am on stock rom v4.2.2, rooted, bootloader locked. I hope there must be some way out to make it work without unlocking the bootloader, coz it was working on single sim version without any need to unlock bootloader. Help asap developers

You need a rootfixer.Your phone is half rooted therefore everytime you try to write in /system it reboots.
Try using this guide and dont forget the 4th step.

Flashback?

I think I need to do a Flashback on my Tablet so I can truly root it. I've tried a few ways to root it and all have failed. SuperUser won't open at all. Tried to Towelroot, even tried Stump Root and Stump says the device is already rooted, but I know it's not...
Just noticed I posted this in the wrong forum.

When I got CWM opened I did a System wipe factory reset.
Then tried to use towelroot again... Didn't work...
Every link I found to SU was to the google play store... not a Zip folder...

Ok was able to run the SU Zip through CWM and had it rebooted after it was completed. Once it was on. I looked around on the Tablet and SU isn't installed. Running Root Checker Pro and it says the Devices appears to be running very Slow... Been on this screen for a few mins already.
Edit: Went back into CWM and Re-Booted... When I clicked on it a new page loaded and had an option to Fix Root... Choose it and Re-booted.

Downloaded SU from Google Play and it worked now... HUGE THANKS....

Well Crap... Says it's rooted. Xmod is getting Permission from Super User.. Mod installed in the Game... launch from xMod and the Game Crashes.

Ok opened SU and it triggered KNOX... Clicked to let SU to try and disable KNOX.... Been on that Screen for 5min so far...I also get a Security Notice Stating Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked.

..........................................................................

Unistalled SU and Restalled it. Let SU try and Fix KNOX again... Fixed it in just a Few Seconds.
Wroking 100% Now. The last issue was with XMod not the root.
BIG THANKS

I lost my home button function and recent app key, how can I get the function back

ive had the same problem before and the way I fixed it was by replacing the system ui to stock.
What variant are you using ?

Also, I'm green to modify the phone, how would I do that

If u wanna use flashfire and dont want ur mobile to lose ur root then will have to add the supersu file for g530t1 after the firmware. Sequence below
