[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pazy:
Hello

I'm using flashtool and it tells me my device is rooted, but when I try to flash the lupus kernel, flashtool tells me my device should be rooted.

So here is what I did: - I was a bit noob at the start and a lot failed, tried flashing the kernel multiple times but did not have drivers. (I tried rooting my device multiple times)

- Some research and I figured I should unlock the bootloader. This worked fine.

- Whenever I open up flashtool it says to me my device is rooted, but when I try to flash the kernel the error occurs telling me that my device is unrooted.

Now I'm not sure my device is rooted as it should be or is there something else I can do?

Thanks in advance,

Pazy

EDIT:

this is my log I got now: I tried some other drivers for my device :

EDIT2:

this log also tells me my device is rooted before I try to flash:

As you can see I tried the lupus kernel CM9-480 and CM9-720, both gave me another output! Is there a specific reason for?
