Worked like a charm on my Xperia S with stock firmware ICS 4.0.4. Thank you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] element800:
Are there any things you have to enable on your phone?

Is it possible with a locked bootloader?

Thank you ;D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] catsado:
- Usb debugging

- Unknown sources

Those two things must be enabled i think. And yes its working with locked bootloader. My bootloader is locked with status NO and i was able to root my device thanks to this script :) .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] element800:
Can it go wrong? Will I lose warranty?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
Let me tell you this way:

1.) Everything can go wrong, if it is so you can everytime reflash the normal rom with SonyUpdate Service and start again

2.) Rooting will always void warranty, but as this script does NOT UNLOCK bootloader and DO NOT REQUIRE a unlocked bootloader nobody will see your root. But of course you should reflash a non rooted standard rom (with update service) before you send it to service etc. Just to be sure.

Doesn't work on Gnexus

I tried your script on a stock gsm galaxy nexus and it doesn't work. I noticed it works on nexus 7 which has jellybean.

Why it doesn't work on Galaxy nexus?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
It is a bit strange indeed. But maybe in some Software there is already a /data/local.prop present, this would prevent the script to work in a good manner. If the file is present another exploit/idea has to be bundled with this idea to get it working. If you like you can push some of your Galaxy Nexus devs to this thread, maybe they have additional ideas howto extent the script to get it working on this device :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
Thanks for the log, it seems your device has already a /data/local.prop, that is the reason why my script cannot inject the symlink and so the exploit cannot work.

BTW: can you tell me which exact software (country, buildnumber etc.) your nexus 7 has? Some Nex 7 users say my script works, others say it does not -.-

Also a dev from galaxy nexus contacted me about the script, maybe he gets it tweaked to work on this device too :)

Works on xperia 2011 devices?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lorenzo_9:
I don't own a nexus 7. I have hust seen in this post that this method is working, so I don't have a direct experience.

Now I posted a question in Galaxy Nexus Android Development forum, so let's wait for answers.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] presta87:
I have a stock Xperia S with the last firmware 6.1.A.2.45.

I have tried to root, following the instructions on the script.

1) I let the script run

2) I select 2 (LT26, etc.), than press invio

3) I connect my phone with USB debugging selected - (I read on the PC display many speed transfer statistics)

4) I open the app "Backup&Restore" on the phone

5) I select the backup RootMe, than I go on and accept the restore confirmation

Now the phone says that the backup has been restored succesfully, but nothing happens. The phone doesn't reboot and the script continues to 'say' "If all is successfull I will tell you. If not this shell will run forever".

Whats went wrong???

(I've tried using two different PCs. I have re-downloaded the last version of the script.)

already told many times that exploit is currently not working on .55 firmware

downgrade to .45 via flashtool, or wait for the rooting method to be updated
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Omegaclawe:
Tried this on the Softbank (Japanese) version of the Razr M... the method itself said it worked, but it failed at remounting the system as Read/Write after the reboot. Notably, this is also what's preventing me from using the other, more device specific root methods. With remounting and run-as requiring root, even with busybox, it really doesn't seem like I'm going to get any of these methods working...

Unless anyone knows of a workaround...

Re: Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 11.03.2013]

Any help? I'm trying to unroot my phone if in case I need to get it back to sony store. But I can't seem to unroot it :( this always show up when I'm unrooting via bin4ry method (note: I am running .452 fw and I rooted via this method)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] joshuagtgym:
Sony Xperia Tablet S 4.0.3 r6b

Was hoping the new method would root Sony XTS 6b... but no luck...

The restore was asking for the disk encryption password...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cyberangel22k:
can anyone help me doing this? first try, no errors until it propmted to reboot the device. the device booted again but did not detect it and failed so i tried again. but then i was stucked at the restore part and nothing happens even there was a notification "restore done" in phone. in cmd, it' s just working...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Unknownforce:
Just an FYI, this does "temp" root the EVO 3D CDMA running stock ICS (and probably other variants) But only after the first reboot, after the second reboot, it reverts back to non-root.

I just kinda stumbled across this by separating the adb commands in the copy/reboot part and I forgot to separate the last one (&& reboot) and it didn't do the reboot and I was left with a root shell via adb.

The adb shell is stable, but the phone itself is not. It doesn't let the system UI boot at all.

I also noticed that when I ran this the first time while on EVERYTHING stock, but with S-OFF, it ran perfectly. But after I set S-ON back to on, that's when it did not work anymore. So it's definitely the radio S-OFF being S-ON is what's preventing the changes from becoming permanent.

Just figured I'd mention this. Might help to determine a better way to save the root or make it a little more stable.

But this will definitely help me to try and temp-brick the device for an automated HBOOT Downgrade, so thanks for this method!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lastwall:
OK...but will not start even when connected to the USB ...:confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Omegaclawe:
This means either it doesn't work with your phone, or the timing failed that time around. Usually takes me 2-3 tries to get a "success". Close the window and try again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cyberangel22k:
yes tried several times but after the first try, I got stucked at the restore part. restore is done but in cmd, it remains working forever... I guess something got messed up on my first try. tried to use MTK tools to but I'm stuck at the restore part too. nothing happens after that...
