1.) download that
2.) get the DeviceID.txt file right
3.) Bjurn
=> gives you an older version, but it's working!

Here's the direct link post #3 is where your wanting to go.

Oh here this is the guide you'll want to fallow in rooting your phone easy as it gets with pics and everything.
Easy root
I tried them.... It requires my device ID. How can I do that when I can't go inside my phone!? So what I did was I copied the Device ID.txt when I last rooted to the X10Flash_Unbrick folder. The problem is not solved. Please check the image.

You don't get your device ID from the phone you get it from your PC. Make sure you use the same USB plug everytime you connect your phone to your PC. I would download the auto device ID finder and install it as per instructions and run from step 1 again.
Also are you on a 32 bit OS or 64 bit OS, if your on a 64 bit you might be having issues with Java which requires you to install java pacs.
[TOOL] [UPDATE 21/12/2016] Flashtool version 0.9.23.0 - Windows / Linux / Mac
Hi,
I will take the lead on releases of this tool as Bin4ry will have less time to work on it.
For all flashtool informations (download links, changelog, screenshot gallery, FAQ, Firmwares repository) go to the Flashtool Homepage
Flashtool sources are on github : Androxyde repositories
WARNING : Since Xperia Z, sony added a new set of files I called bootbundle. Those files can be bundled from 0.9.13 and can be flashed from 0.9.13 only. To all those flashing devices from Z edition to all after Z, it is highly advised to use 0.9.13 and to be sure FTF you flash contain the bootbundle set. I've been reported of hard bricks because of missing such set of files from bundles.
I WANT TO GET YOUR ATTENTION ABOUT THE LATEST BRANCH 0.9.19. Without FSC, the tool will by default include simlock.ta if this file is present in the FTF. The result will be a bricked phone
As a workaround, until I release a patch, please please tick the exlude simlock.ta if you see it in the list.
0.9.19.6 fixes the simlock.ta issue. This file is by default excluded. Then it will not be flashed until you explicitely untick the exlcude simlock box. Do it at your own risk.
Regards
Androxyde

I downloaded it fine. Though in my attempt at flashing the multi-touch I clicked "customize" and "optimize" first and now my phone won't boot. it just sticks at the Sony Ericsson screen. I am on the 2.2 FreeX10.... did I do summut wrong?
I can't download it, because my virusscanner keeps saying it's dangerous, and deletes it
Edit: Fixed problem. Please delete.
Nothing wrong with the files. Virus scanners sometimes are a pain in the behind.
It seems I've got the phone rooted now. Just going to check it. Now, of to find a good rom
edit: I thought it was rooted, but it doesn't seem so.

dont know if it is right, but earlier to get into the flashmode u have to shutdown your device.
keep it off for a few seconds.
hold down the back button, and connect the usb cable. keep on holding the back button.
the notification led has to get green, and the it shoudl be in flash mode.
dont know if it is right at this time
just try.
nope, does not work, phone reboots like normal.
Please help...
I have a question.. After I have connected my phone in flashmode and connected it to the flash tool..it's switching the phone back on then when I try to flash the DualTouch it says it's done it.. but then when I reboot and try it.. it doesn't register 2 touches.. so what's wrong?
Did you try a multi touch tester app from the market?

Turn off the phone and remove it from the usb cabel, after that press the back button, and connect it to the usb, you'll see green light and you have few seconds to connect it to the flashtool.

Yes it but it has some strangeness, but in apps it works fine, i tested in gangstar mv, and angry birds and will now test it in some fps's like nova modern combat and brothers in arms 2. In the browser it doesn't work, in opera mini - works.
The content of Dualtouch folder go to inside the "Firmwares/my-firmware/" folder?
So...
Should then replace the file "Kernel.sin" and add to that same folder (firmware / my-firmware) file "content.properties" into original folder firmware?
This is correct?

TESTERS NEEDED
so i just finish porting/adding arabic, urdu and farsi language/locale to this rom. basic things like making calls, messaging, wifi, usb connection works but i need to know if theres any bug exist. so i need anyone who mainly use those three language to do further test, feel free to pm me and ill give the link to this new arabic ported build. no dont be scared, this will not bricked ur phone, it installed and boot just fine. im actually using this rite now. i just need to know if theres any other bugs because i dont understand those added language, such as translation error, menu out of order when using ported language or anything at all.
changelog v1.5:
1- added arabic, urdu and farsi locale/language.
2- added fonts to support those three language.
3- removed lg keyboard, added swype which support arabic, urdu and farsi locale/language.
4- rtl fixed, character shaping works on default browser (see screenshot).
5- removed touchwiz launcher and replace it with zeam launcher.
6- removed default mms.apk, replaced it with mms.apk taken from htc desire.
7- updated gmail to v2.3.5 without signature permissions.
8- added facebook 2.0 apk.
9- filesystem is still ext4 but this time unjournalled ext4.
10- because im completely decompile/compile all apks one by one to add those three language, basicly all those apks were compressed abit more so this time theres more internal storage free compared to earlier v1. on fresh install, after installing 3-4 apps from market i still had 18mb free in /system/apps now.
11- remove qualcom bootanimation, uses default samsung's now.
12- cwm 4.0.0.9 smaller image file by 1-2mb, taken from ketut's cfroot b-82.
13- true onepackage install. no need to update kernel via cwm after odin install like previous build, cfroot b-80 already integrated in odin one package install.
sceenshots v1.5:
end of updated post. below is from previous v1. i'll edit it when this v1.5 is ready for public.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
what u'll get with this:
1- based on ZCKPA china fw but on first boot uses english.
2- unique feature that only for ZCKPA which is triple network mode selection (dualmode, 2g only, 3g only) and advance call managing (reject call with message, auto reject, auto reject list, phone number locator, ip call, etc etc...)
3- deodex and pre rooted.
4- full ext4 filesystem.
5- cfroot B-80 kernel.
6- cwm 4.0.0.9.
7- lg keyboard.
8- hostfile modified to block ads.
9- gapps preinstalled.
10- darktremore a2sd should work by default.
11- added a2sdgui.
12- super smooth phone with help of fugutweaks patch v0.1.
13- huge apn list combined from XWKPN, DXKP9 and ZCKPA itself.
14- near to stock ZCKPA rom. just remove some chinese app to free some space.
14- maybe more.. too lazy to remember rite now.
step to install:
1- create backup with cwm and transfer that backup to a safe place eg ur pc. if something happen and u did'nt create cwm backup, i'll just sit quietly and laugh at u.
2- download S5830ZCKPA.NoName.v1.7z and extract it in ur pc.
3- download MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition, install it and use it to format ur sdcard as two primary partition, 1st partition as fat32 and the 2nd as ext4. take note that u should use a usb card reader to plug ur sdcard to ur pc when do partitoning job, its dangerous to partition ur sdcard directly while its still on ur phone and not adviseable to do so.
4- put CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b80_boot.zip on root of ur sdcard.
5- reboot ur phone into cwm and do "wipe cache partition".
6- turn off ur phone, take out ur simcard and put ur freshly partitioned sdcard inside it.
7- boot ur phone into download mode and connect it to ur pc (please double check that sdcard IS in the device but simcard IS NOT in it).
8- run odin 4.42 and tick at one package.
9- for ops use Cooper_NoName.ops that u got from my extracted archive earlier. dont use other ops file, strictly just use what i gave u.
10- at one package option, navigate to S5830ZCKPA.NoName.v1.tar and choose it.
11- cross ur finger and flash ur device. ur device should automatically reboot if everything goes to plan.
12- first boot can take a little bit of time. when it finally boot, restart ur device into cwm and flash CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b80_boot.zip(see step 4).
13- enjoy ur phone

Pretty hard to install I say! Can u make it more easy? Like just Open ODIN & flash via 1 package?
wow great, will try this one, thanks for your effort.
I think partitioning is not necessary for those who have already partitioned their card.
We can just flash this via odin as one file and if successfully booted flash cf-root then reboot and flash gapps for the market and other google apps.
Your instruction will harvest many questions.Make it easy.

4- just to be different from other rom which mostly use xwkpn as base

Hmm i getting problem login into google acc. Seems like som kind of permission problem when installing gapps from zip flashable file. Think i should create another build. Next todo list:
1- remove some chinese app from system. Those app really takes huge space while i hardly believe anyone use it because its in chinese language.
2- maybe wait for next cfroot release that should bring smartass cpu governor. Btw im using kpn wifi module to make cfroot works with this rom. Dirty hacks here and there. So in theory, if the next cfroot still support kpn rom, it should also works with this rom.
3- gapss installed by default.
4- maybe rtl fix.
5- tun.ko, cifs.ko and other module preinstalled.
6- port seilent´s frozen winter theme. God how i love that theme

Any Screen to show us ? can type Chinese on this rom ?
First of all i would like to say a massive thanks to:
- Cj360 for the epic Jelly bean Rom
- Cosmicdan for his awesome kernel
- Lupus as well for his awesome kernel
- And everyone else who made this Rom possible, I thank all of you !!
So now with the intro, I'm new to the forum and i shall be testing different Rom's and kernels and giving feedback mainly on the Xperia play R800i and the Xperia x10 mini pro U20i, recently I've been trying a lot of different Rom's and i stumbled acrossed this JB slim Rom (For the Xperia play) and i was extremely impressed with its performance. The interface is simply stunning, blazing fast and built firmly compared to other ICS and JB Rom's.
Here are some of the specs i gathered from my phone's settings
- Operating system, 4.1.2 Android Jellybean
- Model Number, R800i
- Slim version, Slim-3.1.0-20130202-2346-UNOFFICIAL
- GSM ( Note GSM Version is for UK only)
- Kernel Version
2.6.32.9-Turbo_v3.1 [email protected], #66
- Rooted (Built within the kernel, Both Cosmicdans and Lupus)
[ I have attached some screen shots of this Rom ]
If you have an Xperia play i would highly suggest trying this out, as it is one of the best I've seen on xda:

Installation Guide [For people who do not know how to install anything]
DISCLAIMERS
Before you start anything, I'm not responsible for any: Bricked devices, dead SD cards, boot-loops, etc (You know the drill). You do this of your own free will
Ok with all the serious chat aside lets begin. Firstly you will need the following:
- Unlocked boot-loader -----> Follow this guide from Sony:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
- Flash tool -------> Get that from here:
http://androxyde.github.com/
- The Slim-bean Rom -----> Download slim-bean in Second post, pick GSM or CDMA depending on where you are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975851
Below are two links i found showing all countries that use GSM and CDMA, hope it helps ! (If your still confused do a little bit of research !)
GSM -----> http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
CDMA -----> http://www.cdg.org/worldwide/index.asp - The kernel -----> Get either Lupus or CosmicDans turbo kernel (There both epic!)
Lupus kernel from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861970
Turbo Kernel from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817548
- AND A VERY IMPORTANT THING YOU MUST HAVE IS ..... patience's
Ok if you have everything lets start the guide (Note: Make sure everything is done on windows 7, as its easier than older versions of windows)
1. Before we do anything make sure that you have a unlock boot-loader and you have a downloaded the following files:
- The Rom itself ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975851
- The Google apps -----> http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
- The Kernal -----> I did Turbo Kernal http://www.mediafire.com/?ncgvp2qcuns9m (NOTE: PICK ZEUS as that is the code name for Xperia play)
- Flash tool -----> http://androxyde.github.com/
- Fast boot Package -----> http://db.tt/B5vG1ynM
- R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf ------> https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3UZttldr317Zm4xRnQ2WkRFbHM/edit?pli=1
2. Preparing your phone, make sure that you usb debug mode on and file transfer to MSC and allow unknown applications. Next you must connect your phone to your computer or laptop via usb, and open up flashtool and remember to install the drivers, they are located in C:\Flashtool\drivers and install the xperia play driver, fastboot driver and flash mode drivers. (MAKE A BACKUP OF ALL YOUR FILES IF YOU HAVE TO)
3. Go into flash-tool and select flash (Its a lightning sign) and then press flash and open up the directory where you downloaded the R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf and flash it. Wait a few secs or minutes depending on your computer/ laptops speed, then a dialog will open telling you to shutdown your phone so shutdown and wait until its completely off. Now connect the end cable to your Xperia play and hold the back button and connect your USB into the computer and wait for it to flash. This can take some time and you must keep hold of the back button until its completed. After completion it will ask for you to unplug the USB and turn on your phone so do so, then it will launch up the Sony sign and it will pretty much look like the original firmware you had before. Now moving on, once booted up you must skip all settings and wait for the phone to fully load once the set up is done go back to setting and make sure again that USB debug mode is on, unknown sources is enabled and it is in MSC mode. (Note for CDMA R800x users you don not need to flash the R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf )
4. Now connect the usb to the computer/laptop and place the Rom and Gapps onto your sdcard (Make a folder called Custom Rom). and then disconnect the usb after thats done.
5. Now this is were it can get complicated, so please pay attention. You must now shutdown the phone and disconnect it from the computer. Extract the fast boot package (Note: i would recommend to do this all on windows 7) and place it on desktop. Now drop the kernal you downloaded into the same folder (In this case i picked Turbo kernal, so i place it in the same folder). And holding the SHIFT KEY + RIGHT CLICK will open up a little menu (like when you right click anyway) and so you click on open command prompt here (CMD). ok now you type in the following code (In this case the turbo kernal) :
Fastboot flash boot boot_zeus_turbo-v3.1.img
Now it will say waiting for device so you now have to have you xperia play of and hold the search button and plug your usb back in then it will start transferring the kernel onto your xperia play, wait until it has finished and then disconnect your phone and boot it up.
6. You should see the sony sign and the Turbo sign underneath at this point you have to keep press the volume down button -
and then you will enter into a screen where it shows slot 1, 2, 3 and 4. So press slot 1 and then it should say: Boot, TWRP recovery, change slot and Tweaks and mods. So press recovery and then you will come to a screen with different options. First you need wipe data so goto wipe and do a factory reset and then go back and wipe dalvik cache and go back again and wipe cache.
7. Now you must go back and press install and it will show you, your sd card so now you must go to the folder that you name 'Custom rom', like i said before and now install the slim rom, it will ask you to swipe to install so do so and then restart your phone !!. (WARNING DO NOT INSTALL GAPPS STRAIGHT AFTER INSTALLATION OF ROM, INSTALL ROM AND THEN REBOOT AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE FLASHING GAPPS).
8. So now you have rebooted your phone, you should see after the sony sign, the world 'Slim bean' flashing. Wait a bit for it to boot up and then fill out the basic installation form.
9: restart the phone and install Gapps through recovery but do NOT WIPE DALVIK CACHE OR CLEAR CACHE OR FACTORY RESET, just install the gapp zip the same way you installed the rom in 'Custom Rom' folder and then restart.
10. you should have google apps now but the screen might look very small at first and so to fix this press: Menu button> System settings> Interface> Genral UI > LCD density and follow the steps. (This fixes issues with the screen and allows you to use apps like Facebook)
11. The final step of course is to enjoy your new Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Rom and Remember to thank everyone who made this Rom possible!!
So all in all i would highly recommend this, if you currently hold a Xperia play and your fed up with gingerbread then try this out, you won't be disappointed !!
Did i miss anything, if so reply back and i'll do my best to answer your question.

Re: [JB] Slimbean for Xperia play Review (Thanks to; cj360, cosmic dan and lupus)
This is a rather good guide. You might want to change the title. By saying "review" it could give the impression that you were just giving your opinions on the ROM. I used this guide to put slimbean on my Play and i found it easy to follow and understand. However, transferring my apps and data is such a pain:banghead:. I bought TB Pro as well but it tends to hang which leads to frustration as i have to go through the process of which apps i want restored and which ones i don't again and again. It's quite tedious and slow. Anyone know how to make it work "properly" or an alternative?

Thank you for the reply
I look forward to make more installation guides for people in the xda community and i agree i think i should change the title from 'Review' to 'Installation' (My bad sorry ). This is my first installation guide and i'm very happy that you were able to use it and install the slim Rom, as for the apps i think if you have a Google account anyway you should be able to backup your apps from your previous firmware e.g. Gingerbread. I think if you go to Play store then press menu and go to 'My apps' you should be able to see apps installed and previous apps installed if you swipe to the right (However you have to install them individually). I know how you feel though I've been trying different Roms and every time i find myself re-installing and backing up a lot of data, but for now i'm not sure if there is fix or an alternative for TB pro. But i would suggest backing them up manually for now via play store, until there is a way to do it all at once. But nevertheless I will try my best to give installation for all different roms (Hopefully for all phones), making it simpler and helpful for people to understand. Currently i'm studying in college but when i have time i will post different Rom installation guide, but for now thank you.

Good guide, noob friendly. I was just about to whine but I haven't found anything useless here although just edit the first post with flashing kernel via flash tool as it's much quicker and easier for everybody.
And it's called kernEl not kernal

Well don't get me wrong but all you actually have to change are just few lines in the thread and the title of the thread... Seriously, it's good that you've created such guide but come on, creating like 10-20 threads for different roms which doesn't actually differ much in the installation process? Come on, it's just bad...

I like Appextractor from AppsbyAndy. It lets you extract your apps from a nandroid backup. It's not perfect, sometimes apps are missing, but I like it WAY better than TIBU. The only thing I use TiBu for anymore is removing system apps I don't want.

Awesome rom; but with a big flow
EpicAsianGuy said:
First of all i would like to say a massive thanks to:
- Cj360 for the epic Jelly bean Rom
- Cosmicdan for his awesome kernel
- Lupus as well for his awesome kernel
- And everyone else who made this Rom possible, I thank all of you !!
So now with the intro, I'm new to the forum and i shall be testing different Rom's and kernels and giving feedback mainly on the Xperia play R800i and the Xperia x10 mini pro U20i, recently I've been trying a lot of different Rom's and i stumbled acrossed this JB slim Rom (For the Xperia play) and i was extremely impressed with its performance. The interface is simply stunning, blazing fast and built firmly compared to other ICS and JB Rom's.
Here are some of the specs i gathered from my phone's settings
- Operating system, 4.1.2 Android Jellybean
- Model Number, R800i
- Slim version, Slim-3.1.0-20130202-2346-UNOFFICIAL
- GSM ( Note GSM Version is for UK only)
- Kernel Version
2.6.32.9-Turbo_v3.1 [email protected], #66
- Rooted (Built within the kernel, Both Cosmicdans and Lupus)
[ I have attached some screen shots of this Rom ]
If you have an Xperia play i would highly suggest trying this out, as it is one of the best I've seen on xda:
Here is the link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975851
Installation Guide [For people who do not know how to install anything]
DISCLAIMERS
Before you start anything, I'm not responsible for any: Bricked devices, dead SD cards, boot-loops, etc (You know the drill). You do this of your own free will
Ok with all the serious chat aside lets begin. Firstly you will need the following:
- Unlocked boot-loader -----> Follow this guide from Sony:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
- Flash tool -------> Get that from here:
http://androxyde.github.com/
- The Slim-bean Rom -----> Download slim-bean in Second post, pick GSM or CDMA depending on where you are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975851
Below are two links i found showing all countries that use GSM and CDMA, hope it helps ! (If your still confused do a little bit of research !)
GSM -----> http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
CDMA -----> http://www.cdg.org/worldwide/index.asp - The kernel -----> Get either Lupus or CosmicDans turbo kernel (There both epic!)
Lupus kernel from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861970
Turbo Kernel from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817548
- AND A VERY IMPORTANT THING YOU MUST HAVE IS ..... patience's
Ok if you have everything lets start the guide (Note: Make sure everything is done on windows 7, as its easier than older versions of windows)
1. Before we do anything make sure that you have a unlock boot-loader and you have a downloaded the following files:
- The Rom itself ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975851
- The Google apps -----> http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
- The Kernal -----> I did Turbo Kernal http://www.mediafire.com/?ncgvp2qcuns9m (NOTE: PICK ZEUS as that is the code name for Xperia play)
- Flash tool -----> http://androxyde.github.com/
- Fast boot Package -----> http://db.tt/B5vG1ynM

2. Preparing your phone, make sure that you usb debug mode on and file transfer to MSC and allow unknown applications. Next you must connect your phone to your computer or laptop via usb, and open up flashtool and remember to install the drivers, they are located in C:\Flashtool\drivers and install the xperia play driver, fastboot driver and flash mode drivers. (MAKE A BACKUP OF ALL YOUR FILES IF YOU HAVE TO)
3. Go into flash-tool and select flash (Its a lightning sign) and then press flash and open up the directory where you downloaded the R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf and flash it. Wait a few secs or minutes depending on your computer/ laptops speed, then a dialog will open telling you to shutdown your phone so shutdown and wait until its completely off.

Now it will say waiting for device so you now have to have you xperia play of and hold the search button and plug your usb back in then it will start transferring the kernel onto your xperia play, wait until it has finished and then disconnect your phone and boot it up.
6. You should see the sony sign and the Turbo sign underneath at this point you have to keep press the volume down button -

I loved the performance of the rom. True jb feel with amazing customization tweets. Checked high end game FIFA12. Works great.
But the rom ultimately is useless for me until you come up with a gamepad and touch pad fix.
WE HAVE XPERIA PLAY. But without the gamepad working; gives such an ordinary feel. sorry.

Hi folks
Here is how to root 2011 Xperia running any of the 4.1.B.0.587 4.1.B.0.431 / 4.1.A.0.562 and 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware . No need to downgrade kernels or anything, just root it straight away
Rooting
Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"
Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging
Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode
PC Companion installed on your PC.
1) Connect your phone to PC ( IMPORTANT > Skip PC Companion installation pop up on your phone.) and wait for the adb drivers to be installed. If these drivers don't get installed, phone would not be detected by Eroot.
Make sure nothing else ( specially flashtool ) is running on your PC in the background.
2) Download this rooting toolkit. Google Drive /// MediaFire /// 4-Shared and run it. If any downloading starts, cancel it by clicking the green button. Don't let the eroot download anything.
It should now detect your phone and show an option to "-root". Just click on it, wait till it finishes
3)Rooting done ( For confirmation see if any Super User app has been installed )
4) If by chance it fails for the first time, give it another go. it won't harm your phone in any way. If you still face problem, click on show content below
Go to your C:/ Drive / User/Username/AppData/Roaming/ folder and delete the eRoot folder.
If it says cannot be deleted then open up task manager on your PC and kill bec.exe . Then delete eroot folder.
Still not working ? used the archived method to root 2011 Xperia here below the animated Xperia picture.

For neo L with Tigris Kernel,Vengeance ... ( 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 ), 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 !!
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!

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.

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 ), 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!

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.

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) >
