Xperia Pro MK16i 0.62

Hi I have updated to the most recent firmware, 0.62a and the phone has not been rooted or modded in anyway before.
Is it still the case that I need to downgrade the firmware to root the phone?
Thanks for any help in advance

Try to flash this file (below) in CWM. it should work.
But remember about BACKUP!

I downloaded the file you attached thanks and downloaded ROM Manager on my phone but it says O clicked on CWM Recovery and it says I must install it manually to proceed.
Sorry im a noob to this, so just want to make sure I get it right

here i found easier method - without using reovery and .zip:

HOW TO ROOT​
Start Flashtool
Connect the device to the computer and wait until it's recognized
Click the icon with the "Padlock [the second in a row]
FT will start pushing files, wait till it finishes. Meanwhile the phone will reboot once.

}
When it's over Flashtool will notify "Root Access Allowed"
Open the application list on the phone and look for the app "Superuser"
If "Superuser" is there you have Rooted your device successfully.
Congrats!

Maybe if you try other recovery? http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-e975.img
Or try unofficial CM: http://dl.kevinjoa.me/cm/geehrc/
Hope it helps, and if it does, please click thanks

Thanks for the reply .... i have tried it with all recoveries... twrp gives error this package is for device : e975 , this device is geeb. Cwm and philz wont let me install it too... i wonder why twrp takes device as geeb.. fancy stuff eh.. and i installed recovery from twrp installer too just to make sure i have the correct recovery.. i tried editing the names in rom to geeb , passed through device mismatch error , but still it wont install..

Htc one m8s won't boot up after relocking bootloader

So my friend used a all in 1 toolkit to root his phone but failed when it came to booting into recovery to install su after that he can't boot into recovery, can't factory reset his phone and when he wants to turn his phone on after it has switched off he needs to hold down power+vol up and down as when the batterie is flat the charging icon pops up with the yellow bolt of electricity and the orange light, when this happens the phone is frozen on that screen but he can turn it on.
Just yesterday he saw a tutorial on how to relock his bootloader and start fresh so he can try again to root his phone but now his phone can't even boot it's stuck on the HTC powered by android screen with same issues as b4
Bootloader info in the link bellow

That's your biggest mistake ... all in 1 toolkit
There is no such tool that would work on your M8s device.
You need different fastboot not the generic, you need different TWRP (that is made for M8s) and you need the updated SuperSU not the one provided by that old TWRP version that you have in that outdated toolkit.

Again ... you can't simply use any RUU .,.. the one for M8 won't work on M8s.
The RUU that works on your M8s is 0PKVIMG_M8_QL_UL_M60_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.1 _Radio_1.0.U20410.1 @ 60201_20.05_018_F_release_479349_combined_signed.zip

I tested root access with Root Checker and it said "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device."
I need the solve this problem help me pls
EDIT: Problem solved and here is the solution:
Download this zip file: theflamingskull.com/downloads/addonsu-14.1-x86-silvermont.zip [I can't put links thats why i put the link like that]
Then open your recovery mode(twrp) and flash it.
My phone is Zenfone 2 ZE551ML so if your phone is not the same model please do not try it.
And thanks for solution " joaohkfaria".

It's never worked for me. The problem might be due to their DNS not working, so the update can't be requested. One other way would be to connect your phone to a power source and boot into recovery mode, there's an option for "download latest and recovery", which should install 9.0.1.169 on your device. Although this feature won't erase your device, it's wise to make a backup beforehand anyway.
