During setup, SuperSU was one of the choices, then there was another with a similar name (I forget what the other option was at the moment.)
That is, assuming I understand your question correctly.
2 exploits that were available did not work. There was even some hesitancy to install it in the first place because an alert said Google recommends you don't install this because it contains suspicious code (not in those words, but you know what I mean.) I went ahead with installation because I didn't hear any negative talk about it after a little searching through the internet.
Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
Instead of taking the chance of bricking your phone, why not follow the routing guide in the sticky thread?

Root your phone without unlocking the bootloader. How? A new application called UnlockRoot does it all for you! Literally, all you need to do is download the UnlockRoot.exe, run it and enjoy your new rooted device. I can confirm that it is 100% working and took about 2 minutes from start to finish.
All you have to do is connect to your computer, enable USB debugging which is accessible through Settings>applications>devlopment>USB debugging
open UnlockRoot.exe and click root, after that it should take the comp. 1 min tounlock then 1 min to reboot then voila you have it rooted! You will then see the superuser app inside your app drawer. I recommend you to download busybox and titanium backup to have full control on your device. I've just rooted my xperia play and my wife's arc s using method. Both of them are running v2.3.4 so this should work on lower versions.
If there will be an instance wherein your device didn't reboot automatically,manually restart your device.

I checked out the site and it doesnt say compatible with Xperia PLAY or any SE phones for that matter. Plus I am already rooted and unlocked bootloader. The site looks a little questionable like maybe the software could be virus filled. I dont know though. Only way to find out would be to try it, and for that I have no reason to. IT show support for the Kindle Fire. Anyone try it?

It's put out by AnTuTu, the same people who do CPU Master. They have a link in the newest version of their app.
Probably uses exact same exploits as superoneclick

First of all that is not my site and i'm not a spammer. I only posted this method in two different forums,the other one is in the android general hacking tips. The only reason why i mentioned the site is because i'm having problems uploading the unlockroot.exe launcher in this thread. As you can see,i'm only a new member and i don't usually start threads. I'm just trying to help because i had a lot of frustrations using other rooting methods. I have a descent job and i'm not gonna benefit in spamming so don't accuse me. I just felt very excited to share this method as this worked like a charm for my xperia play. I'm not forcing you to try this so ban me if you feel like doing so.

I noticed that too but trust me,it worked for my xperia play and my wife's arc s. Both of them are running the latest android v2.3.4 that's why i'm very surprised that it worked. Other rooting methods didn't work for that version so i resorted to doomlord's method but i'm having problems installing the adb drivers as i'm using windows7. I'm so happy using this method because it's very safe,no need to unlock your bootloader. Best regards!

I already uploaded the direct link to the file so you can shut your mouth now. I've been itching to do that right from the start but this site won't allow me because i need to have at least 8 posts before i can attach external link. You're a senior member so you should've known that,think first before accussing me a spammer.

I'm curious, why not post directly to their site, instead of a link to a file host?
No, offense, but if you post directly to their home site, it makes it seem a lot more legit than just posting a link to your download account.

Sorry bro but i already did that when i started this thread. I just edited my post because that d31boy guy is accussing me of being a spammer and just promoting that site.
When I see a brand new poster posting a link to relatively unknown website for use of an unknown exe file, it's hard not to be suspicious. I mean, you obviously know the benefits of root and you know your way around this site. The site has absolutely no mention of how the root is applied (which isn't your fault provided you don't have an affiliation to the site ). It's a pretty big leap of faith.
However, I may have jumped in a bit too quick on this one. It would have been better just to report the post and allow a mod to make a more informed decision. For that, I apologise.
All this method is, is the zergRush method with a different name...
Here's what I did (quick run thought of what i did, attached screenshot for reference)
Downloaded it from the OP's post (http://unlockroot.com was running at 2000BYTES/SEC)
Installed it on my XP partition
rebooted, went to my linux partition
Mounted XP Partition
went to \Program Files\Unlockroot\tools\
Copied rootutility to /home/myusername/
adb shell rm -r /data/local/tmp
adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp
adb push rootutility /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootutility
adb shell /data/local/rootutility
and got the attachment

Lil harsh but I thanked you anyway but I was asking what's the best way because it looks like its more than 1 way to do it.
To be fair, you could've been flamed way worse than that!
Best way to root is to follow the guide you understand the most and seems the clearest, or to use one of the one click solutions. One way is rarely better than another, but some are easier. Either way, you need to do some reading and understand what you're doing.

Not that you care, but this is directly from the XDA rules that you agreed to but obviously did not read...
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
-and-
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
In your case you got a couple of good answers (maybe not the answers you wanted, but still accurate) and you decided to ignore them.

Who assigned you as the snitch. I started reading his threads since I keep seeing you constantly spamming every single one. From what I've read he's currently making progress. He managed to get his phone to boot after what seemed like a brick on mf3 firmware which I'm curious how he did that. You see I found something interesting and what seems can be useful for others who soft bricked their phones with mf3 stock from the information he provided. But you, I see you as that one causing the annoyance and lack of progress to help some one who has been reading and has been trying to figure out a way to fix his problem.

Regardless scott was just following and enforcing forum rules...which is a good thing. If the op wants he can create a new thread explaining how he got his device to boot back up...but from what ive read he never really bricked it...just messed up hus recovery so he couldnt enter stock recovery anymore...could still boot up but bootimg recovery sent him to download mode.
Now calling someone on here a snitch for enforcing forum rules is not ok, if you have a problem with the way hes doing things than let him no through pm or contact a mod if needed for further assistance with the issue...a mod can than evalute the problem and decide what needs to be done lock thread/delete posts/leave alone
Lets try and make xda a nice friendly environment...even if somebody annoys you or does something you dont like...

The Play Store doesn't allow it. There's a dedicated thread for the version found here on XDA, link below. You can download from the first post along with the special zip file to allow it to work with systemless root. Flash the systemless zip first then install Adaway. Be sure to read through the OP and even the wiki to understand how it works. Everything I learned about using it I learned by following that thread. The guys are really helpful in that thread even though I see people asking the same questions over and over again. I suggest spending some time reading through the thread before jumping in. I've had no issues at all with it and it was simple to use once I understood it, and it's not really difficult to understand. Good luck!

The Adaway download is an apk file so just download and open and it will install like normal. The systemless zip should be flashed through TWRP though.

May be a very silly question, but I will ask anyway. I am unlocked rooted on stock T-Mobile variant. I have TWRP, Magisk.
Can I just flash any full rom such as 9.0.6 or 9.0.7?
What I guess I'm asking is do I need to convert to international 9.0.1 before flashing a higher OS.
