Tutorial root xperia miro on firmware 11.0.A.5.5

i was used this method and it's work,

1. Must be root first on 11.0.A.1.0 firmware

2. The phone must be on 11.0.A.1.0 rooted

3. Download the root file on http://www.mediafire.com/?mjm8iuf4c5fr77q

4. Extract on Empty folder (up to you where's you like to put the folder)

5. Open file "01-local-prop" from the extract the follow the steps

6. After finished, turn off the phone and then flash to 11.0.A.5.5 Firmware

Warning

- If you are use SEUS, don't take "Factory Reset", just update the firmware.

- If you are use Flashtool, don't mark the "Wipe Data", just mark the "Wipe Cache" and wait till the flashing process is done.

7. Run the file "02-push-root-files" on the extracted folder then follow the steps.

Done... Your phone has been rooted to 11.0.A.5.5 Firmware. Don't forget to update the Superuser on Google Playstore. After updating the Superuser, update the Binary file on the superuser app so you can allow app access on the superuser.

Will it work on tipo?

Confirmed works on Tipo too
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] messmeww:
your welcom ^_^

i think this method can use to all xperia on ics,with new firmware,because i try it on my Xperia active and LWW , its work,
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dragoboss:
True, this would work on all Xperia phones (or atleast the 2012 series range).

But kinda think u should change the title a bit, as this is not ON .5.5, but practically before.

I like this method, it's cool that it works like this but still, hope there will be another methods soon, a simpler one, hopefully a one-click-root method when a new bug/glitch is found in the Xperia 2012 phones. Without having to (down/up)grade a few times to make it work.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] messmeww:
oke thank for your suggestion,i hope there will be another methods more simply :)

ow i'm a newbie,how to change the title??
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dragoboss:

It's a downgrade - root - upgrade procedure. As Jules said:

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] jenkaila:
first, i need help here on how to root my miro 11.0.A.5.5 device.

second, thanks . because now i know that there's a process to downgrade your firmware.(which i ddnt know before)..

too complicated.. thought that the process would be easier just like how i root my phone when it was on a lower version.

third, i think i just have to wait longer for the updated version of Bin4ry that could root my miro.

last, if i takes long, then ill have to try and do this process of downgrading my firmware.

thanks.. keep on posting
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dragoboss:
If you want to flash a lower version of firmware, you'll need a few things:

- Flashtool

(I'm not sure of there are other Flashtools around, probably there are, but I use this one, works like a charm).

- An FTF file of the older stock firmware version. Please if someone here has a good ftf file, please post it, as I have no idea where you Miro guys posted them xD

- Patience and Understanding

Documentation on how to use the Flashtool is also in the topic where u should download it from.

As soon as you've got the older firmware version flashed on ur phone, u should follow the tut in this thread, but before you do ANY of this, I recommend you to find a way to backup all ur apps and data. Just in case.

The best way is by downgrade to stock rom 11.0.A.0.26, and then Root it normally.

But, actually if the purpose of Rooting is not only to get acces super user, but also want to use a custom rom, Better U "Unlock U'r Boot Loader n Flash a kernel. For example U can flash the latest FXP 204 by flashing the boot.img by choosing fastboot mode.
