tried to root the .587 ICS version in Sk15i but it is definately not working for me. Made all necessary steps without problem but root is not there.

Maybe mini pro does indeed get root with the above method, but the simple mini does not, at least for me.

I cannot find any alternative yet that works

The battery doesnt charge.

I did it, and it worked, no errors at all. Got the superuser app. But somehow, the battery doesnt charge at all. It just happens when I try to do this, cause I can't root by using the eRoot tool.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Foxadn:
EDIT 07/17/13 - 5:05PM: Problem solved!!!

I launched File Manager app and went to '/app' folder. Superuser appeared in the list. I tapped on it, selected "install".

Now it appears in my apps and I'm root!

I could install CWM and launch TB with root access... YEEEEEHAAAAAA!!! (sooooo happy )

Bottom line: I think eRoot worked on the 1st attempt, just something went wrong when installing the Superuser app.

I'll leave my post below in case it can help someone else.

__________________________________________________

Hi all,

The OP tutorial didn't work for me. Let me explain the details:

I have an ARC S, 12W19, locked BL.

Last week I was on GB 2.3.4 and used eRoot to root it. It worked perfectly.

My goal is to install UHD 4.0 (via .587 I guess).

So I did the update via PC Companion, which brought my phone to .431 official.

Now I try to root it again, and nothing works...

First I tried eRoot, it said "error while starting SuperUser app" (or something similar). I could see the SuperUser (#) icon in the apps, then it disappeared.

I tried eRoot a couple times again (rebooted phone, computer) but never saw the SU app anymore.

This morning I tried this OP tutorial.

- installed Flashtool

- install Flashtool drivers (couldn't find Arc S so I installed Xperia Arc + Flashmode + Flashboot)

- flashed to kernel .562 (got the error in Flashtool)

- ran DoomLord script (was not able to do anything -> "Unable... Unable... Unable... All Done!"

- reflashed the .431 kernel

My phone still works (that's good news ;) but no root access.

I just tried again to use eRoot, it went through the 4 checkboxes (with some time on the 3rd one) but still no root.

FYI I use eRoot v1.3.4_P6.

I tried deleting the folder C:\Users\..\AppData\..\Eroot and do it again, but no change :(

Is there anything else I can try?

So you think Sony has just changed their .431 release so that the root exploits don't work anymore?

- Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Foxadn:
EDIT: Problem solved - see post above - sorry couldn't delete this one.

Okay, I read the 29 pages of the DooMLord post, and found out that when you get the "Permission denied" / Read-Only errors, this means you don't have the correct .562 kernel.

So this means my kernel flash didn't work? What could I have done wrong...?

Flashtool says "plug in your device while pressing the BACK button" => could it be the VOLUME DOWN button I need to press?

(I just saw that on the post from Nabeel on Talk.Sonymobile // "Archived Method to Root 2011 Xperias")

Will try again later. In the meantime any suggestion will help, thanks!

[Motorola Atrix 2] ajsedlacek:
I am fixing my broken Atrix 2's screen. The touchscreen digitizer and LCD were both cracked. I purchased OEM replacments and the touchscreen works great but I am having display problems with the LCD.

The LCD I received doesn't seem to have the same pixel density or color gamut. It also flickers a lot and then goes dead after having to change what is on the display, ie watching a video or switching screens fast.

When I hook up the HDMI cable, the output to my tv doesn't have the same problem as you can see from the video in the link. I have some other videos that I can upload if needed.

The vendor is going to exchange the LCD screen for me but my question is could this be a problem with the phone itself and not a bad LCD screen, being that my damage came from falling off and then being run over by a car? I don't want them to have to send out another LCD if my Atrix 2 just won't work any longer.

When I had the phone apart there was not any visible physical damage to the board or other internals.

Thoughts, suggestions?

Hi guys,

I guess i've a problem: the script has shown "...choose Service Tests -> Display and WAIT THERE". After that it appears:

Starting: intent (act=android.intent.action MAIN ...etc etc....)

/data/local/tmp/onload.sh ...

It has been running at this point for 30 minutes or more. The phone screen is locked, but if I unlock it it's on white.

Should/Can I stop the script?How? Or maybe...have I to reboot the phone or to disconnect the phone from the PC?

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the US .30 firmware that was pulled from the ASUS site earlier this week, and the one that is posted there now?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Codesworth:
No I don't. If you are going to mark something as a question though, why not put it in the Q and A section...
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I noticed that the firmware filename now contains the date, which is new. However, the date on the file in 9/7/12, so I believe it's the same as the original .30 version. I sure hope they wouldn't release a different ROM with the same version anyway!
[Asus Transformer TF700] zenaxe:
I believe that even the ASUS firmware development team would have enough sense to bump the patch level number in the version string (i.e. .30 -> .31) if they had actually changed a publicly available release in any discernible way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tybalt:
Maybe the US version was pulled from the site earlier this week, but it's clearly there now. Just checked.
