[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] GJQ:
Hi Ceasar,

Problem not solve. I google a few site and they mention need to unlock the bootloader but following instruction from the Sony site just cannot unlock it. I think the problem lie in my understanding of the instructions unless a step by step with picture instruction and rooting tools is available, then I think there is no chance for me to root it.

Below is previous attempt to root using Linux OS but have not succed

Dear XDA member,

I am new to rooting. My problem is that after I have install adb in Linux Mint 14 64bit system. The Sony Xperia Tipo Dual is still not rooted after following the instruction as per attach link. May I know which part is wrong? The phone details as below
