When I try Step6, it show $.

I typed su and wanted to make it #, but I got "su: not found".

I'm gonna go my fourth try after dinner @__@
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
That implies steps 1-3 did not work correctly.

Can you copy the output of flashtool and the cmd window after you ran those steps

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gasai Yuno:
This seems to be your problem. Try repeating starting with step 1.

Somehow adb failed on wait-for-device and consequently failed executing step2, thus retaining old /system/bin/ric.

If the error message I quoted appears again, just do this manually BEFORE step 4: open a cmd window to the files subfolder and execute

adb shell /data/local/tmp/step2.sh

and continue with step 4 from there.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] NoobTW:
Well, I don't know why.

I got success this time (with the log I just post).

Thanks for your help.:good::good::good::good::good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Probably because you had flashtool open when trying the following steps.

It always helps to have only one adb service running on your system at once.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] NoobTW:
But I have another problem though it doesn't really matter.

I got root and everything works great. But when I connect to computer, Win 8 recognized it as Xperia VL. (It used to be Xperia V.)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gasai Yuno:
Are you sure you flashed the original kernel from your LT25i firmware? That's step 7.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] NoobTW:
Re: [HOW TO] Rooting the LT25i without unlocking the bootloader

Yes, I did all the step including it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gasai Yuno:
Can you provide a screenshot of your “About phone” data?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
Sv: [HOW TO] Rooting the LT25i without unlocking the bootloader

Its working good if you follow instructions carefully and make a clean flash of stock fm before.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gasai Yuno:
In my case I didn't have to factory reset or re-flash stock, everything worked perfectly with my apps' data and stuff. Though it might depend on the version of the firmware you are running? Like .484 might not work with VL's newer data formats, etc.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] NoobTW:
Do you mean this? Sorry for Chinese version. If you need, I can post another with English version.

BTW, I had flashed a fresh LT25i_9.0.1.D.0.10_Singapore.ftf before I did the step.

EDIT: I just rename the device Xperia VL to Xperia V on my computer, now Device Manager and Computer shows Xperia V. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gasai Yuno:
Yeah, it looks fine. Wonder why it reports the wrong USB device ID…
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] NoobTW:

Hi,

Just want to check that my Xperia V firmware is Singapore version and I just follow the instructions above to root my phone or there is some other files I need to download first?

Need to clarify things before I proceed, thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aaron_035:
You will have to download the trimmed files, the root kit and the Singapore firmware.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chongbh:
Hi,

You know where I can download the Singapore firmware for Xperia V, thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gasai Yuno:
Well, amazingly enough you needed to open the Q&A section of the Xperia T/TX/V subforum, and open the sticky post there.

Alternatively, you could have learnt to browse forums; clicking page 2 of this exact subforum shows a topic called [Stock Firmware] LT25i_9.0.1.D.0.10_Singapore.ftf.

AMAZING, isn't it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aaron_035:
Oh I like the way you think. BTW thanks for the rooting method. Hope it'll still work with the Jelly Bean update when it is released.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] demon1010:

EDIT: Dosen't work.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:

[Q] How to root Xperia V

Hi Guys,

Could anyone help me in rooting my xperia V? firmware version 9.1.A.0.490 ..

Thanks in advance.:cowboy:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Yes, please read the all in one thread. It is the first thread in the Q&A section.

Glad I helped you
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hizperion:
has anyone tried whether this will work with 9.1.A.0.490?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
It should work, try and see.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hizperion:
didn't work with .490
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzinner:
Have anyone tried this method for 9.1.A.1.140?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] soncarl:
Why using this method? There is binary rooting method without unlocking bootloader.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzinner:
A link leading me to this post would be highly appreciated. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Its in the top right of every xda page. Its the little white box that says "search all forums" in it. Just type bin4ry root android in it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzinner:
Thanks mate!

The search results with bin4ry lead me to the correct thread whereas binary didn't.

My Xperia V is rooted now. Awesome.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No need to say thanks, there is a button for that. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] far_777:
thanks for the guide worked nicely for me on 9.0.D.0.484.

same happened to me on win7 64bit is it normal? i also renamed Xperia VL to Xperia V just like NoobTW said in post #51 and now it shows Xperia V in device manager.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gasai Yuno:
This rooting method is outdated, use Bin4ry's toolkit.

To restore, flash the current firmware using Flashtool. If it still reboots, flash with wipe.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] solid_id:
Thanks God the thread owner still here, thanks Gasai Yuno.

Um, OK, I am downloading the current firmware, let me try to flash again with it first then.

Meanwhile searching for Bin4ry's toolkit.

If your a casual user with no need to mod the system, don't root. I rooted mine because I root my previous phone to improve performance by freezing some apps but on this baby I do not have a need for that.

It works great. Unrooted mine, triangle away and flash back stock rom. And still it works very nicely.

One word of advice though.. First thing to do before switching it on, is to insert your sim card.. :p

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aloush5592:
Congratulation...i love my note 2...im so addicted to it.

Ok here is my opinion:

1) buy a screen protector and a flip cover.

2) download samsung note 2 toolkit v3.0...flash cwm..and make a full nandroid backup.

3) root it via the toolbox..and download omega 10 rom+ redphill 1.01 kernel. "You will love the battery".

4)after installing the kernel...you will see an app called SStweaks...open it and try to undervolt as much as possible.

5) set in cpu hot plug register...how many cpu clock you want to use..i advice you...2 is enough for average use.

6)these app you should download.

Whats app,viper,poweramp(best sound player),root browser lite(best free filemanager with root and has the ability to extract any archive), Sms backup and restore pro..(the name says what it does), Ringdroid(if you want to cut mp3 files), utorrent(best u torrent client), Network monitor mini(to have allways an overview of your intetnet speeed next to the status bar)!!!

I hope these information was useful for you.

Enjoy your new device.

Keep an eye of it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3vo3d:
thanks for the relpies guys i probably will do that nobnut, Stekarn_13.

its an interesting point vash_h makes though. my current phone has a normal sim card but this new one i believe takes a micro sim which is meant to come with the phone today. Now following McLaren__F1 advice i dont really want to take the phone to work without a case. so what happens if i put both sim cards in both phones? As they are both on the same network with the same number will they both work or will the old one finish as soon as the new one is inserted?

i love the checklist aloush5592 rest assured i will take your advice thanks. I'm definitely going to root this bad boy as well as i want to use some apps like bestbatterystat etc. Network monitor mini sounds like a good app too thanks.

i reckon ill be doing alot of that too Grant Barker and you know them iphone fan boys are gonna be getting a visit boodies.

thanks again for the tips folks cant wait till the door bell rings lol.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
I would recommend you spend some time with stock first. I, and lots of others it seems, who always flash custom roms on a device after a few days, for once found stock to be pretty amazing on this device. Root it, remove bloatware, and what you have there is a very stable stock rom, besides most of the roms in non-original development are really close to stock anyway.

@ stesteste....what do you mean by " Kalgas" ????
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3vo3d:
well this bad boy turned up yesterday, alas the micro sim didnt. so as a result ive not really had much chance to play with it.

But my very first impression was it wasnt as big as i first thought when i saw it in the shop. now im not sure if that is because in the shop it is sitting next to all the other phones. But i was rather surprised as i was really fearful that it may be too big. Compared to my evo it is bigger, but lighter though and it fits nicely in my pocket.

I would love to comment further on how it performs but until i get the new sim card im reluctant to do too much with it. :crying:

i think i will probably stick with stock for a couple weeks but i really want to root it. I did read the possibility of it voiding the warranty if i do. so i need to do more research on that.

@justkiddinghere im definitely gonna encode some movies to watch. does anyone know the optimal settings for handbrake?

I will come back with more info as soon as i get a play.

cheers for all your advice folks.

Congo-ratz. I come from an long-lasting iPhone legacy, and I got to tell you, this phone is phenomenal. My girlfriend is still rocking her 4S, and it's fun to show her a feature a day from my new phone.

Trust me, you'll learn something new about the phone every day; not exaggerating here "EVERY DAY". For instance, yesterday I had the SPen out and and unlock with the power button, and then swiped with the pen and I noticed that instead of the water ripples when touching with finger you'll get ripples and ink in water effect... Fun.

I didn't root. Don't find the need yet. Fully stock on 4.1.2 and disabled a crappload of stock crapware for almost two months now. I only bought a crystal clear spiggen screen protector (no issues or drags on the SPen), two samsung bumper case, NFC tags (these things are fun, and a really good feature to show off), a wireless sharecast, and an extra original 2A note 2 charger for the office. It's fun. Trust me, it's a hell of alot of fun...

thanks bunglebp i found the thread relating to CFAutoroot you are a star. Ill be rooting this phone as soon as i can.

i didnt know you could cut it yourself adytum it is an interesting premise but i think ill wait for the new sim but cheers for the headsup.

i had a quick look on google for nfc tags ron2k_1 but im not really too sure what they are. Id really like to use the nfc capabilities instead of carrying my oyster card and if i can use it instead of my credit card even better. i think ill contact my bank tomorrow about that.

Also i need to look into some 2a in car chargers. I presume they would charge the phone at least twice as quick as my old 0.7a chargers???

My provider in my country do not offer micro or nano SIMs, so they use cutters (look like those punch-holes you use in your office). Amazon sell them for like 3 bucks, and there are many phone/accessories shops that carry them, they may even do it for free...

See here

There are awesome. Bear in mind that this are tags that store tasks and procedures in your phone, they are not for recording cr card info. You do that on your phone. The tag I showed off to my gf was one where I recorded an SMS telling her that I've arrived safe to my house. I placed it right on the entrance of my house and set my phone on my side table and automatically sent a SMS to her phone. She was like, "Hey, your phone just texted me that you have arrived safe; how do you do that???!!" I had fun with it because I programed the phone to text this to her: "This is your boyfriend's awesome phone; he has arrived well and he's getting ready for bed. Good Night."

You can buy the tags from samsung as well with the 50% off code I'm giving you below.

This stand is really pricey, but it comes with the car charger as well. And if you use the 50% off code from this thread you'll only pay 20-add bucks for the package.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3vo3d:
thanks McLaren__F1 nice thread thats next on my shopping list.

cheers ron2k_1 for the info on the stand and the code. but ive already ordered a slip grip mount to hold the phone whilst it is in the seidio case ive also ordered. I used their mounts before with my evo and otterbox case and was very impressed.

them nfc tags sound really interesting i wonder how that will work in the future? the code is also a nice touch :) So would nfc allow the phone to get charged as well?
