Confirm working on neo L

Confirm working on neo L

For neo L with Tigris Kernel,Vengeance ... :cowboy: ( Unlock BL )

Just connect to PC , and do the steps in OP

For neo L Lock BL

1. Enable USB Debugging from (Menu\Settings\Developer Options\Development)

2. Enable Unknown Sources from (Menu\Settings\Security)

3. Enable MSC Mode from (Menu\Setting\Xperia\Connectivity\USB Connection Mode)

4.Then simply flash MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel via Flashtool

5.Then Root using the tool above , after done manually remove and reinsert battery

6.Then flash back MT25i_4.1.B.0.626_KERNEL ONLY_bywewenk or MT25i_4.1.B.0.631_KERNEL ONLY_bywewenk

*If you are on .626 & .587 use .626 kernel , If you are on .631 then use .631 kernel

Awesome

Confirmed working fine on Arc S (LT18i) running 4.1.B.0.587.

Awesome!!!!

Just today I decided to finally root it. I had been looking for some ways to do it here but hadn't decided how to do it yet. I wasn't too enthousiastic about having to downgrade, root, and upgrade again. (Most of all, I didn't want to have to reconfigure my entire phone...)

The primary reason for wanting to root was moving more apps to SD - I'm tired of not being able to install apps and having to decide every week which app I need to uninstall since I'm running out of space.

So - I used this. The menu is in Japanese (I think - correct me if I'm wrong :confused: ), but I managed to get it to work after 2 attempts.

If whoever made it could translate the GUI to English and add an option to choose a language. it would be great. But even without that, it did the job for me!

Whoever made this - THANK YOU!

Nabeel Bro, i tested ur signature, it's working fine for me !!
[Xperia Arc General] BajoPrimate:
Hi Nabeel.!

This is a really easy way to root.

It works fine in my brother's Xperia Arc S running 4.1.B.0.587.

Thanks a lot!
[Xperia Arc General] Nabeel.:
So i guess it's a success for that " For neo L with Tigris Kernel,Vengeance " ?? Because on locked bootloader even doomlord kit works by swapping kernel.

It's Chinese.. :D Anyways, All this was made possible because of that user wym986 , so i hope you pressed thanks button for him in his thread :)

Even if you search for Eroot, you won't find no word. it's really him who posted and saved us all :D

Yeah Auni, hard luck, will contact a mod tomorrow :(

No problem mate

Not working on windows 8 pro 64 bit

:crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Xperia Arc General] Nabeel.:
Man, it works on widnows 8 as well.

Please remember to give details about the problem. So what's exactly happening ?
[Xperia Arc General] jcgechevarria:
I tried all the links, first Bitdefender says that has a virus, second if i disable antivirus, program runs, downloads somthing about 10 mb, and closes.

My phone is an lt15i arc, as you can see on my signature.
[Xperia Arc General] Nabeel.:
Yeah,

But what i need to know is, that eroot kit detects your mobile at all ?

It closes on it's own ?

It's probably the antivirus acting up buddy. I just tested again on W8 pc and it works really fine.

First connect your phone to PC with USB debugging on, then wait until the adb driver is installed. Only After that run the rooting toolkit . Cancel that downloading ( 10MB ) as soon as you see it, now see if it shows an option to Root.

If that doesn't help then follow this reply. ( Your antivirus might have removed some file of eroot, that's causing it to close on it's own, so follow this reply and install eroot again , but before that make sure you disable antivirus) >

http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/446240#446240
[Xperia Arc General] jcgechevarria:
First thanks for your replies, no, eroot does not see my phone, and yes it closes on it's own, i will try all you explain may be tomorrow, will report result as soon as i can, only last question, usb mode on msc or mtp, beacouse i see both ways on diferents posts.

The good news is, I tried the VRoot tool mentioned in this thread:-

4.1.B.0.587 here, not working.

Eroot opens, but it's not trying to download anything (or I am missing this green button to cancel this). It recognizes my phone and I got this -root button. After clicking it has this progress thing - first three steps are being completed. After that it goes to some kind of report problem page or something. Tried multiple times, MSC, debugg, unknown sources and PC companion on my computer are done like shown in steps.

I might be missing something with "Skip PC Companion installation pop up on your phone.", because I got no popup after connecting my phone.

Well google it and you'll get details abot rooting and unlockind bootloader,but long story-short:with rooting you gain access to system section,deliting instaling sys apks and flash custom roms roms for locked bootloader,if you unlock bootloader then you can flash custom kernels with root and clockworkmode"CWM" recovery and you won't need this app again and you will be able to overclock your cpu.But pls google for more detailed infos.Good luck

I am using Xperia Arc S(LT18i) with Built No 4.1.B.0.587. I am very upset with my ph because it has phone memory only of 420 MB:( therefore i am not able to install any more apps because all the space is already occupied by ph apps.:o

So i tried to root the phone with your rooting toolkit though i don't understand it's.language which is in Chinese i guess :fingers-crossed: it seems like it is done successfully because my processing speed just got increased and earlier it was in a pretty bad shape but after completion no superapp has not been installed.

I installed superuser app from android market but it didn't worked either. I installed Root Checker this app shows that my ph is not rooted.

I am confused what to do :confused::confused::confused:

[Xperia Arc General] ajikurniadhi:
i just successfully rooted my SE Arc 4.1.B.0.587 with the tool.

the important thing in this step is that your computer need the ADB installer from your phone once connected. only then ERoot can detect your phone.

while ERoot is open, then plug your phone to your computer. The ADB should installed in your computer and ERoot shows "-root"

or try restarting your computer with phone plugged off, once windows loaded completely run ERoot then plug your phone

good luck!!

Hello, first of all thank you Nabeel. :)

I maybe have a solution for all of you guys who are getting the "error report screen" (see attached picture).

I was stuck with that as well (Xperia Arc LT15i with a 4.1.B.0.587 build) and i read somewhere this issue was caused by a simple lack of remaining space.

I just deleted some apps going from approximately 30Mb of empty space to 80Mb (of course i'm talking about internal memory, not SD), then tried again, and it worked flawlessly from the first shot !

This space is only needed during the rooting process, meaning that you'll be able to reinstall all your apps once it's done.

Hope it will help some of you !
