How can I root my xperia P LT22i Jelly bean 6.2.A.0.400

I am new to the field of android rooting. So pls tell me step by step procedures that I have to follow to root my device. I am doing it to improve battery backup of my phone by freezing the applications running on background. At present the problem I am facing is battery draining. After full charging the battery, it is not lasting for a single day. Pls help me and reply me immediately.:crying::crying::crying:

Battery problem will be ur problem as far as u use jerry bean rom.... because it's not an official update so it its not compatible for Xperia p.... I recommend to use ics..... If u really want too use it u must not over clock the device and usegreenify app to hybernate the apps.... Hit tnx if I helped........
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ShivaDiva:
Well I'm not necessarily new to Android rooting, but I too am on build 6.2.A.0.400 and am wondering how exactly rooting would apply to this....:confused:

I don't necessarily want to do a magnitude of flashing custom roms, modding, and whatnot I'd simply like to root it to help tweak a few settings. It would seem the rooting instructions seem a bit outdated in regards to those of us that have gotten a Xperia P and updated to JB.

Do wha?? Uhm....what exactly are you talking about?? If you haven't custom rom your phone and the update comes directly from Sony then that makes it OFFICIAL (I sure as hell know mines is as I did an OTA update the moment I got my phone a couple of months ago). Not quite sure what you mean by that statement...:rolleyes:

But I might take a look at this greenify app for the hibernation of apps bit. That seems like it might be interesting to use.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ayambrand:
Thanks for this great & helpful thread.

I just confused to flash CWM to my ST27i, searching but not found flashable CWM for JB (currently I'm on official JB 6.2.A.1.100).

Anyone can advice me? Surely a big thank you in advance to you ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] garvitdelhi:
you can flash any custom kernel and you will get cwm with it ot follow the link of cwm recovery given in this kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2320762

Hi, I've a question for you all: I've a Xperia U with Locked Bootloader. Now I'm going to unlock it, but I would know, after having flashed a custom ROM, how should I flash the stock one? I mean, I'm using a custom ROM with a custom kernel. Then I would come back to STOCK. Do I simply use flashtool?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
yup. that easy
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amoutie:
And every time, after flashing stock ROM, I simply fastboot the kernel I want to restore the Kernel itself and CWM? I ask because I read somewhere that with UB I should flash a different kind of stock ROM, one flashable from CWM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
you can do it either way. either flash a stock ftf and then fastboot a kernel for root and recovery again. or just flash what ever flashable zip file of a rom you want and what ever kernel is included in the file will be flashed in the process
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amoutie:
Thank you very much! I thought it was more difficult, having always flashed stock rom from ftf file found here (and not via SUS or PC Companion) and having a locked bootloader. Stock rom so are for both bootloaders, that really simplify my life in case I decide to go back to stock ROM :)

If you can find a kernel with CWM that has adb it would be possible to recover, otherwise you will have to reflash.

Rooting st25i 6.1.1.b.1.100

Hi all!

I have spent hours, and hours before I got to the point, that i must write in the forum. I have flashed the latest ICS (debrand 6.1.1.B.1.100) on my Sony Xperia U with Flashtool. I have installed all the drivers from the Flashtool folder before I started, and I have already got PCC and SUS on my computer. It seems, that i hade all the drivers, that i needed for the operation (I have installed both my phones, and the Flashmode/Fastboot drivers). The firmware flashing went good, but this firmware has got some programs, that I don't want to. I decided to root. And there started my misery... I readed, that i must flash an older kernel, than root my phone, and than flash back the 6.1.1.B.1.100 kernel. Piece of cake... (I thought it...), but I was wrong. My problem is, that when I power off my phone, and I try to make connection with the pc via usb cabel my pc won't recognise the phone... (In Fastboot mode). I have turned on USB-debugging and Non-Market apps installation on the phone, but when I want to use Flashtool in Fastboot mode, it won't happen anything, just my phone is charging... It's working with Flashmode, but it won't work in Fastboot mode... :/ Somebody please can help me? Give me a Fastboot package with drivers or any advise? (P.S:I have downloaded a lot of ADB, Fastboot drivers, Android SDK, etc. but Fastboot isn't works... my pc don't pop up the driver installation buble, its just charges my phone. Thanks for your kindness and help and sorry for the longness/sadness/madness, and for my english! :D Have a nice day!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Of course phone cannot be detected when it's off.

You flash the kernel just as you flashed the firmware (connect in flashmode, volume down while connecting the USB cable). You need the stock kernel not a custom one, those are only for unlocked bootloader)

If you have the kernel FTF than just flash it

If not download a firmware FTF of the desired version, clear all wipes and exlude everything beside the kernel and flash.

But I am sure you can find the kernel you need in Xperia U Android Development
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] padaone8:
I hade read, that I must flash the kernel (and I know that its a sotck one, just older) in Fastboot mode. The method is: Run Flashtool, Lightning icon, Fastboot mode, a new windows appear, with lots of options. And after that Is must connect my phone via the usb cabel to my pc with Fastboot mode (Volume UP key [Volume DOWN will bring me Flashmode). Or I can just flash the kernel file via Flashmode? :eek: Btw the kernel file is .elf but I think that's not a problem. The kernel flashing will work in Flashmode? :D Thanks for the reply! ^^
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:

What about those of us with unlocked bootloaders?

Can we still follow this guide or must we relock the bootloader?

Is there not a guide for unlocked bootloaders?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] padaone8:
Sorry for not answering, but I went deep into the thing, and finally (thanks for your advise), it worked. ^^ I downloaded the stock kernel file with .ftf extension, and i was able to flash that into the phone in Flashmode (Flashtool saw the .ftf file, but with .elf it didn't work). I was able to root then, and then I flashed back the firmware's original kernel. Thanks for the advise and your kindess, help! ^^ Still I don't know why the Fastboot mode didn't work...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Fastboot (at least fastboot flash boot) does not work on locked bootloader which you only need if you installing custom kernel.

Sony kernels can be flashed in flashmode which custom kernels cannot be.

This done for warranty purpose I guess which you just bypassed, since you can do any imaginable damage having root access.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] padaone8:
I see. Well I learnt something new. The problem was, that in the description, that i followed it was no sign of that i can't get into Fastboot mode with locked bootloader... And I have spent hours and hours before I wrote here for some advise. If I hade knew that with locked bootloader it will not work... (or just think, that I can flash the stock kernel .ftf extension in Flashmode...) Well you gave me a lesson for life. :D Thanks for everything!

- Wipe cache/dalvik/data

- Wipe system (for totally clean the device)

- Flash

- Wipe cache/dalvik

- Reboot
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
For the rom that did not flash, try to flash the boot.img that is inside the zip with fastboot and then flash.

For the one that stay black, IDK maybe you hould flash one of the kernels there.

I can't get in recovery when booting (XPERIA GO)

Noob here. I'm using Xperia Go, and trying to install CM11 on my phone, I get stuck with the step to boot into recovery.

I've tried pressing volume buttons when phone is booting, nothing works. Very frustrating, hope you can help.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
s your bootloader unlocked and you have flashed boot.img from the ROM zip file?

If you did, press power instead volume up/down.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jaboneros:
yes my bootloader was unlocked and I flashed the boot.img from the ROM zip file already. When I press power, the display lights up but no other activity, like the phone is in a boot loop..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Don't expect your phone to boot with this kernel, it won't.

I meant use the power button in the same manner you supposed to use the volume button, spam it every second after you power up.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jaboneros:
after flashing the boot.img, I tried doing your advise, repeatedly pressing power button during boot-up. Still nothing.

Then I tried

adb reboot recovery

, same result - I just get a blank screen.

Did you have adb connectivity?

Which rom is it?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
It's weird you cannot enter recovery but still have adb.

Maybe formating/erasing date/system with fastboot will help enter recovery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jaboneros:
I've done so many flashing back to official Sony ROM after boot loops because of my failed attempts in CM11...

For flashing CM11, do I need CWM or TWRP installed on my phone before I can boot into recovery? Or just using adb via computer should work?

I was just following the steps of that thread, and there was no mention needing to have custom recovery, so I assume when it was time to boot into recovery it would be so easy. I just want KitKat on my phone so badly :(

Thanks for your help, truly grateful to this forum - I'm learning a lot!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
The CWM is built into the kernel in boot.img that comes in the ROM zip file.

You may try to use another CWM that is built in custom kernels, or one for unlocked bootloader, but it might not have the props that are checked in installation and it will fail..

The few times I couldn't boot into recovery (after NANDROID restore) erasing data/system with fastboot enabled me to do so.

Flashing jus the kernel after flashing boot.omg, if you didn't make it into CWM and erased/formated anything should bring your phone back to live, no need to re-flash the whole system.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jaboneros:

Problem with CM 11

Hello, I have a problem and I need advice. I have Sony xperia Sola. I have a new version of CyanogenMod and last week I download this new firmware from XDA forum http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/sola-development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-11-0-t2627210.

I have downloaded this firmware and I recorded into the phone via fastboot file boot.img. I disconnected my phone and I started it.

I press the volume - button.

I move by this manual:

1 Download the zip(s).

2 Extract boot.img and flash via Fastboot

3 Boot into recovery

4 Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.

5 Full wipe[data, cache, format system].

6 Flash CyanogenMod Rom Zip.

7 Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

8 Reboot.

but I finish at number 3, the recovery mode didn't go (I didnť get into recovery menu)

I tried to record the old boot.img into the phone but it did not respond. However much I try to start it, does not respond. It is not charged on the charger or turn on...The biggest problem is, that my phone did not connected with PC and it is impossible activate fastboot mode. Please advice how to start and fix my phone! I'm apologize for my english! Thank you for your advice!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
First make sure the phone is turned off, press power + volume up untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations, then try fastoot.

Before fastboot, try to power up, and spam the power every secong or so to enter recovery, if that doesn't work, turn it off again and flash former kernel.

I don't get into recovery menu and fastboot mode don't start. If I try connect my phone with PC (hold volume up) the LED should be light violet, but the LED constantly lit red and the phone can not connect with PC. The phone is absolutely dead. :( Thanks for some othe advice.

Thanks for your advice! My phone is OK, now! :) I start it by Flashtool. Over and over I tried to connect it to flashmode and I was eventually succeed. I succeed to upload there old official firmware version through which I managed to charge the phone and run it again. :) I think, that problem was in the phone's battery. It was empty and not charged. So it was problem to get the phone to flashmode. I do not know how I succeed to finally connect the phone to PC when the battery is empty, but the phone works. :)

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

Phone charges in this mode, but very very slowly and after about a few minutes, the phone turns to the splash screen and then turn off and stopped charging. :/ So I think that the flash mode did not go to start due to low battery.

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

It did not work even when I trying the buttons pressed longer. Violet led notificaiton is only in fastmode (phone is connect with Pc). Led notification is the right of the logo Sony above the display. I saw the violet led notification many times! :)
