Root adventure time! C'mon grab your friends!!

Well, let me write down my story about this great rooting adventure

D2206 and D2243 users: this concerns all of you!!

[MENTION=1313650]Mr. P0nj@;[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6448157]camilo002[/MENTION] look this

Remember: before unlocking bootloader using sony method, do a previous entire backup of all (videos, photos, phone contacts, whatsapp chats) or you will lose everything, i´m talking seriously (this is because unlock bootloader deals with a security concern that send the "delete all" instruction when you open the bootloader). You can do your backup manually or using Titanium backup or another backup apps.

Now, for rooting my Sony Xperia E3 (D2206 model) I used the D2203 img file only using flashtool method (in fastboot mode), and everything goes fine!!! No brick, no undesirable or worring messages.

Instructions for get root in Xperia E3 LTE D2206 and D2243 models

1. Disable in Windows 8.1 the restriction of non signed drivers through configuration- advanced start settings

2. Download latest versions of java runtime, flashtool (0.9.18.4), pc companion, and android studio

3. Install the drivers of flashtool and the other applications mentioned before

4. Before proceeding, disable or close pc companion, bluestacks or droid explorer for avoid interferences with flashtool

5. Please, update or flash your phone to the latest build of android 4.4.2 in D2202/D2203/D2206/D2212/D2243, i mean 18.4.C.2.12 (if is D2203 or D2206, i dont know which are latest firmwares on the other devices) before doing all this!! Of course, You can update via OTA (i did this) to get latest build if you dont want do it with flashtool.

6. Make a Previous backup of all your things please, for god´s sake (but if is new, i mean unused Xperia E3 phone, dont worry)!!

7. Download from XperiFirm your corresponding stock firmware for your model and operator (of course you can rebuild your ftf file from pc companion through false repairing), but if you use XperiFirm and create the ftf file using flashtool the process is pretty cool and easy to do!!! (just in case of emergency if something goes wrong or if you got soft or hard brick)

8. Unlock your bootloader following sony method

8.1 Now, You´ve lost your warranty, and your phone is like the first time you bought it, but all telephone functions are still remaining after unlocking bootloader (I dont know about working DRMs functions), but the camera works fine and the other things too!!

So, Did you remember why i requested you several times to make backup? Ok, lets continue!

8.2 Check if your bootloader is really unlocked

Go to calls ,enter *#*#7378423#*#* and go to service info-configuration. It should appears "bootloader unlock: yes" If appears something like "bootloader unlock allowed: yes" you must repeat the procedure in step 8. This just means that you can unlock it, but isnt unlocked yet

9. If all is fine, lets Root it!

Remember: bootloader absolutely unlocked

For Xperia E3 D2202 and D2212 devices:

Remember: they are GSM only devices using Qualcomm MSM8226-2 quad core

Open Flashtool and select fastboot mode. Now turn off your phone, connect it to the pc using the usb cable while you press simultaneously vol + slowly) the led will turn blue. After that happens,

load the D2202 boot img file and wait until process finishes showing an OKAY message.

This was the message from the log file during injection of the D2203 img boot file

sending 'boot' (15286 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.495s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY!

finished. total time: 0.497s

When you finish this, you can exit Flashtool and disconnect from usb. Now, turn on your phone and press repeteadly and simultaneosly vol - and +, this will led you to enter in CWM recovery, because purple led will turn on, and the telephone must vibrate.

Now, you are inside CWM, select install zip from sd card, choose the Super SU zip file from the external or internal card (or where you have placed in), install it, and wait until it finishes.

For Xperia E3 D2203, D2206 and D2243 devices:

Remember: they are LTE devices using Qualcomm MSM8926-2 quad core

Open Flashtool and select fastboot mode. Now turn off your phone, connect it to the pc using the usb cable while you press simultaneously vol + slowly) the led will turn blue. After that happens, load the D2203 boot img file and wait until process finishes showing an OKAY message.

This was the message from the log file during injection of the D2203 img boot file

sending 'boot' (15286 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.495s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY!

finished. total time: 0.497s

When you finish this, you can exit Flashtool and disconnect from usb. Now, turn on your phone and press repeteadly and simultaneosly vol - and +, this will led you to enter in CWM recovery, because purple led will turn on, and the telephone must vibrate.

Now, you are inside CWM, select install zip from sd card, choose the Super SU zip file from the external or internal card (or where you have placed in), install it, and wait until it finishes.

Note: as you can see CWM is already included in D2202/12/03 boot img files so you dont need to download cwm for other place

10. Exit from CWM recovery, select reboot system now, and after that CWM will ask you a final step, choose "Yes fix root" and reboot .

11. Now, each time you turn on the phone, the sony logo appear along with the vibration and purple led status (that new behavior is for enter to CWM).

12. After your phone started, configure it, install any Root checker app from play store and verify the root status

I believe the expression is – tada!!!

Now, the entire Xperia E3 family can get root status.

And if you think that are going to be not USBable, let me tell you that the phone is fully recognized by usb ports (it appears internal and external SD cards perfecly).

Thats all folks!

Finally, I want to say thank you so much to my indian friends [MENTION=5494317]vinay[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4449607]hell_lock[/MENTION]
