Hi Guys

can I get a little help here:

When I run the app I always get:

"the system can not find the path specified"

multiple times.

What do I do wrong?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gueszman:
could i use this xploit with Xperia Arc Android 2.3.3???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] osamaelg:
Thanks a lot guys, I have just received my NEO, and I was afraid of rooting it and 0% battery problem, but now I will root it. awesome :D .
[Xperia Arc Android Development] evilRafael:
Hey brother, do you think this will prevent us from getting the much anticipated Ice Cream Sandwich promised by Sony for our beloved Xperias? (mine is a neo, 2.3.4)

I think I read somewhere unlocking the bootloader or rooting the phone prevented any official update with PC Companion...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gueszman:
Ok its done. I root my xperia with android 4.0.A.2.368 :) (Android 2.3.3) and no problems

THIS file/xploit is amazing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] evilRafael:
Another noob question: does this flash a custom ROM on top of my localized pt-BR localized ROM? I'd rather have my phone still speaking my language :)

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

What, bricked it using this method or a different one?

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

Answering my own noob questions by further reading and growing balls to try it myself:

- This script is great because it doesn't need to flash anything, in fact it won't touch your phone's apps or factory-reset it.

- It worked on a Xperia neo running Android 2.3.4.

- It works perfectly and pretty fast too. :D Thanks Doomlord for the noob-friendly script and thread!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adieeluv:
DooMLoRD ur a champ.. rooted my arc in just a click.

thanks for this awsum toolkit man.

Update - After rooting, the apps which are moved to sd card are not displayed under My Apps in Market. Is this normal? or any one of u'll is also facing this issue?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] magma_blaziken:
So from what I gather it is safe to root and than update the phone via PC Companion or we can just unroot before performing update and root it again after that. Someone tell me I'm right please
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Yes should work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FreeZr:
Not working for me. Always showing this:

Can anyone link me ADB & Usb drivers again?

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Arc Android Development] magma_blaziken:
You should add this fact to the front page so that other people know it's safe to update after rooting with this.

Maybe also tell them that it will have no 0% battery issue cause does not touch bootloader or firmware.

Doomlord posted this a few pages earlier

and

This website was mentioned a few times

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Xperianeo:
I have my neo using 2.3.3 rooted. If i use ppc to get the lasted fw then i use this app to root. It gonna be ok?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] evilRafael:
It should work, but it mainly depends on the method you used to rooting it before. Does the method you used before allow you to update with PC Companion? If yes, then when you update you'll have a 2.3.4 neo ready to root with Doomlord's script.

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

Brother, you should add these frequently asked questions to the front page (at least where to get ADB and the fact that it doesn't touch the phone's firmware, bootloader, that it's safe to update, 0%-safe too, etc.)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i am busy with merging new kernel sources ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] evilRafael:
What's that going to do? (noob alert)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dryhte:
Good. Keep up the good work.

By the way, is there a way of applying custom kernels without custom recovery? I'm guessing not? (I'm putting off unlocking the bootloader because I want to keep OTA updates)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
please keep this thread clean and on-topic: queries/issues/results/feedback related to rooting using the scripts posted in this thread...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jinx13:
Just copy the

adb.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

From your adb folder and try again :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kenchi27:
Thanks a lot! It worked flawlessly on my xperia mini
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Xperianeo:
i used gingerbreak to root. Should i unroot my neo before updating with PC companion?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] andolfree:
works on HTC DESIRE? ..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jenablinsky:
this will work on international galaxy s gt-i9000??

in the main post i found only gt-i9000b...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maddler:
Looks nice! Thank you!

I'm gonna "port" the script to BASH, this will allow Linux and Mac users to root their devices w/o having to chase for a windows box. ;)

Stay tuned!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Xperianeo:
AWESOME

tks guys.

Now i have my neo with the lasted fw and rooted
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
its already done by some users for Linux and MAC OS X... i will soon update the links
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xexijreil:
Worked on a friend's Arc S!

Will SetCPU work without a kernel installed to set min values of frecuency and set ondemand governor?? Or it's needed unlocked bootloader for this?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] aMReY:
i try to root my phone by using method 1. but at the end of process, my phone not rooted, su and busybox is not installed?

what its means "adb out of date"? this means what? did i need to install something?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
You can set the clockspeed from 122 or 245-1401MHz on the Arc S without a overclocking kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ani55:
Is there one with busybox 1.18.2 or lower?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] electrash:
works perfectly on .42 FW (arc)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Titan Nettix:
Sorry to ask but should adb drivers for arc/neo/x8 also work for xperia mini pro? I ran the batch file, completed everything written, my phone restarted after that but still no root access and no sign of busybox or su in my phone.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
check SE website for adb drivers

post FULL output/log of the script
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Titan Nettix:
I've just checked se website and there's only drivers for arc/neo/pro, x8, x10 and there isn't one for xperia mini pro. I've searched other sites as well.

There was an error before daemon started saying 'adb server is out of date'. Apart from that, all went well. This is what I did: downloaded android sdk, tools and google usb driver. installed them... downloaded the drivers, tried each one but no luck. My device has been connected through adb but I just can't root it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i tell u again.... untill u post complete output of the script i cant understand whats goin on...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] grillorojo:

Everything works now. I couldn't find superuser in app drawer. I manually installed it. My phone must have already been rooted, only su and busybox installs went wrong. Now I'm playing with Titanium backup! Yeah!!!

Something like that. Can you point me to the right direction on how to change "RO" to "RW"?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] joaonds:
Could you please tell me:

I have 0283 firmware with root (with this method), and has an update to 0.42, if I upgrade to 0.42 I lose my root?

If I lose, this method works with the new firmware?

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
u can root all firmware...

even if u loose root, u can root again...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kradcliffe:
Worked first time on my Arc S and my wife's Arc.

Phones are so much better with Titanium Backup and all the bloatware uninstalled.

Thank you very much :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] tonyb15re:
I had previously rooted my device using V1 after getting it back from repair, worked perfectly, I just got an OTA for 2.3.4/4.0.2.A.0.42, quick backup of some apps with Titanium and then applied the update. Update went ok with no hitches thankfully, half expected it to barf but it didnt. Root was killed by the update, I downloaded V2 and ran that against the phone again, went through first time no probs, rebooted ok and was able to re-apply the data from the backups to the apps which were affected. Also deleted the chaff from the latest build.. Thanks again to the OP for creating this, sterling work.

just a quick question. The files should be extracted to a folder on your computer and not the SD card on the Arc ya?

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DrearierJester1:
was able to root my device, but not sure if this method also unlocks the bootloader or not?

If not, can I leave it rooted then update to latest firmware using official SE firmware using flashtool? After update do I need to run the root again or its already there?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lulhasafotn:
No your bootloader is still locked, you can use SEUS to upgrade to latest firmware but you Will lose root. If you want it back, run the script again.

@DooMLoRD

In the list of supported devices the Samsung Galaxy S2 is mentioned with a wrong model number (GT 9100 instead of GT i9100), no biggie but it just scared the hell outta me, cuz i'm at the point of rooting 2 of them for family and i'm sure they will kill me with their bare hands if i mess up their devices. Did a frantic search if there even excists a GT 9100 but realized it's just a typo....lol.

btw....many tx for this super tool!

EDIT: Rooted Xperia Mini Pro (Sk17) FW 4.0.A.2.338 now trying to update and root 4.0.2.A.0.58

ADB drivers for sony ericsson: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/search-downloads/driver?cc=gb&lc=en

i installed the drivers with right click on .inf files and choose "install" (on windows xp) then connected my phone with usb and adb driver installation started by windows as usually with drivers. (then started the runme.bat)

Problems to Download from Market...

Hi All,

I upgraded my SK17i and my MT15i (both to 2.3.4 and I made root by zergrush). Now I'm having problems to download/update any software from Market (after sync with google server). When I try to donwload any software and go to "My Apps" I see the progress bar and "downloading".. but the download doesn't begin...

Is there somebody that know what may happening ??? BTW, my phones are with bootloader unlocked.

Waiting for reply ... Tkx a lot !!!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] lawgone:
Hi just wanna make sure. I'm still on 2.3.3, can I update to 2.3.4 directly via PC Companion then use this to root my Arc?

I'm just confused about the other method of rooting that involves flashing back then root then OTA, etc. to avoid battery problems.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
not related to rooting....

yes u can
