Hi, i have Xperia play
about phone:
Model Number: R800i
Android Version: 2.3.3
Build Number: 3.0.1.A.0.145
my question is what root will i use?
and bootloader, give link please.
You will have to flash back to 2.3.2 then root with gingerbreak...
But here is a whole thread on how to unlock bootloader/root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043630
Here is how you unlock your boot loader - http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
and how to root without unlocking the bootloader - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116090
ohhh, so i can root and UNLOCK my boot loader?
and how can i flash back to 2.3.2?
EDIT: what is the difference of unlocking bootloader and rooting WITHOUT unlocking bootloader?

An unlocked bootloader allows you to issue fastboot commands to your device. It has nothing to do with root. Although it can be used to attain root easer

Right download the .184 firmware here:
http://www.multiupload.com/MDS10FFGTT
And download Flashtool from here:
http://www.multiupload.com/7H4JT35B6G
Unpack the .tft file and place it in the firmware folder of the extracted flashtool application.
Install the gordons gate flash drivers that come with flashtool.
run flashtool, click on flash, choose the .184 .tft file. And follow the onscreen instructions.

Since you are rooted. Get Adfree from the market. It will block adverts on free games, browsing the web etc. Very useful app to have.
If you uninstall apps you cannot use ota again to upgrade to 2.3.4 when its out and still keep root (since all the bloatware needs to be still on the phone for an ota update to work)
I personally freeze the apps i dont want. It stops them from running and frees up ram (making the phone bootup faster, better battery life, all the perks that uninstalling them would give you) but it will not free up internal memory since you are not unistalling the app its still on your phone it just will not run while it is frozen. You would then just unfreeze them to use ota.
If you uninstall them you will either have to reflash again (to get back what you uninstalled, it will also wipe your phone clean again) then root again to use ota and keep root.
Anyways i use Bloat Freezer (which you have to pay for only £0.60 tho) or if you just want to uninstall apps the best to use would be Titanium Backup the free version allows you to uninstall apps. You can also use Titanium Backup to freeze apps but thats only in the paid version.
See here for the thread on what is safe to uninstall or freeze.
i flashed R800i 4.0.A.2.368 UK (newest firmware with xLoud etc) using flashtool and simply used flashtool to root it aswell, worked a treat
Uhm, if you root the warranty is being cancelled?

Diffrent companies have diffrent rules on warrenty and root, HTC will honour the warrenty even with a custom bootloader flashed

Hey guys
Sorry i'm new here and I just brought my G2 yesterday. Now I have been doing some research and found that there is a root for LG G2 D802 V20 4.4.2 its called IOroot version 25 (I think)
Now my questions are:
Will this root my phone running 4.4.2 without needing to install a custom ROM? (so I don't lose any data).
Does this root work properly, because some people where having so issues with some framework thing.
Thanks, and sorry if this question has been asked before
Ok ioroot only roots your device, nothing more nothing less so no t does my install a custom Rom and yes it works properly

Another question i have is that I have heard around the place that doing the root will effect the battery life, is this true?

root doesn't affect battery life the only thing that root does is grant permission to edit android at a system level so that it can be modified for example to remove bloat and such

If I was to want to flash an app (example Apollo music) onto the phone what sort of root would I need for that? I assume I need twrp, so how would I install that aswell?

well first I don't think you can flash Apollo and am not sure if it will work on stock but the way it would work is simple you download a root browser for my example I used root browser basically you navigate to the system/app and place the apk you want to install there and add the rwrr permissions, reboot and it would be installed in the screenshots below I install a modded youtube.apk

yea other than downloading cyanogenmod and extracting it I don't know where you can get it from, you could ask at one of the cm threads to see if someone would share the apk

I thought some of you might be interested in this...
I was rooted on my SPG511 with locked bootloader, having used TowelRoot12.2. I was using the paid version of SuperSU and had enabled Survival Mode.
I just took the OTA to 4.4.4 and much to my surprise I still had root after the upgrade! So that's good news... Let me know if you have any questions....

Do you still have rw access to /system?
ES Explorer says I have r/w access to /system but I'm not sure how to test this
Gonna give the same thing a shot and see what it does to me...
I did the above and lost root...

Simply test it with any app need root, e.g. Titanium Backup, Lucky Patcher or etc, to see if these app still works.

Same here
Interesting! What version were you on exactly and what did you update to? In the update to 17.1.2.A.0.314 I lost root even though I had the paid version of SuperSu and survival mode enabled. I currently have the update to 23.0.1.A.430 pending and I fear losing root with no means to get it again without unlocking my bootloader.
i also had the paid and lost root, i just found a prerooted flashable and i'm going to use that
I just updated from .314 to .167 and I didn't lose root. Tb and all other root apps still working fine. I have PRO version of SuperSU.
Edit:I didin't even have PRO version of SuperSU.. Root still working

Custom Rom and Root..
So I just got my Note 4 and I'm thinking of installing a custom rom but since my banking app wont work on rooted devices I'm wondering can I install a custom TW rom and then Unroot?
Thanks

How about you flash any custom rom you want and then use root cloak which hides the root from apps you define meaning your banking app can't see that you are rooted.
This way you can be rooted and use banking app. You will need to have xposed installed for this to work. Use Google to read up on root cloak.

Sadly this doesn't work with the Barclay's banking app, I've done a lot of searching to find a solution and nothing
There is a good reason not to use banking apps with root... I wouldn't risk doing that... Also to root and unroot or change the kernel every time is cumbersome

You can search and download stock ROM for your phone, then flash via Odin.

Hey,
SuperSU is just a root manager app. It only manages root permissions.
If an app requests root access, SuperSU will ask if you want to grant that app root access or if you want to deny root access. That's pretty much all that SuperSU does.
