How do I use ADB to sideload on a PC? I can't find the binaries for PC except for the SDK and it's a really big file. What command do I do to sideload? Thanks for the quick reply

Can you boot into Download Mode? (Hold power button until device turns completely off, then quickly hold Power+Vol Up to get into download mode.) Do this while device is unplugged so it doesn't try to reboot instantly normally.
If you can do that, then you will have to follow the recovery steps for Sprint LS980. Give me a moment to find it.
EDIT: Here you go buddy.

To do that you have to go back to 2012 on the computer and download a ton of sketchy files and I don't have a username and password for that thingy. It's not my computer so I don't want to mess it up haha. Thanks for the reply!

Okay, so you've read Mills' instructions and sort of understand them.
1. Download the CWM recovery from multiupload
2. Boot off of that file (DO NOT FLASH): fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img
3. Copy this to your memory card and flash it with the booted recovery
4. Reboot and test root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Right? Okay, let me translate all that for you.
First things first, you need to unlock your bootloader. To do so
Mills00013 said:
Obtain a bootloader unlock code. Right now the only way to get one is through ashergray or myself. This will change soon but for now its limited in release.
Once you have your code, follow the unlock instructions on either Sony's website directly or by following the instructions here. Please note that you already have your code at this point so if you follow the instructions please disregard anything telling you to obtain a code. These are for GSM models.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So kindly ask one of them for your unlock code, and my best suggestion would be to get everything ready so you can unlock the bootloader and flash the booted recovery all in one go.
So download the recoveryPLAY.img and set it aside.
Then download the RootXperia.zip and set it on your SD card in the root directory. So in the main F:\ folder.
Download the drivers and fastboot.exe here http://www.multiupload.com/RS6367SQMT
Okay, we got everything. Follow these instructions http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-xperia-arc-play-neo-pro/ starting at step 6 but please read my notes below also
at step 7, you will hold down the SEARCH button and plug the USB cable into your phone.
When you go to look for the Driver in Step 10 of the guide look for the one on the list that says "Android Bootloader Interface 2.0.10.2 Google, Inc. c:\?????\oem28.inf", that's the one I used.
Once the drivers installed you can locate fastboot and run it, but do this in the command prompt. So you know, go to Start > Run..> type in "cmd" and your command prompt comes up. Type in "cd\" to get to your root directory, then type in "cd c:\documents and settings\.....whateverfolder you have fastboot.exe sitting in"
So Step 13 of the guide, you're in the ...\fastboot\ folder, you can now type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version and that will tell you if you're connected. If you get a <waiting for device> you probably loaded the wrong driver. </life>
If not, then you got the 0.3, so continue with unlocking your bootloader in step 15. Put in your command and the key you got from some really helpful people.
Okay, so you just unlocked the bootloader, awesome. Don't close any windows. Now remember that "recoveryPLAY.img" we set aside? Go get it and move it into the same folder that you have fastboot.exe in.
# Boot off of that file (DO NOT FLASH): fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Okay, with your command prompt still open and your recoveryPLAY.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe, type in "fastboot.exe boot recoveryplay.img"
Copy this to your memory card and flash it with the booted recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In about 10 seconds the screen on your phone will change, you will now see the recovery screen on your PLAY. The volume buttons are UP and DOWN, the power button is ENTER or SELECT. So navigate through the menus to install .zip from SD card, and look for the RootXperia.zip (we put it on your SD card earlier remember?). So you found it, Select it, it will run, the phone will tell you life is great, so scroll up to the top and back out until you see the option to reboot your phone.
Reboot and test root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Select Reboot and once you come up, go to the Android market and download something that requires Root, such as Titanium Backup or ROM Manager.
Finally, thank everyone involved for making this happen. Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098131
I did this on Windows XP, so I'm not sure if everything is exactly the same for any other Windows OS. Mods, feel free to move, delete or what you please with this thread.

Thank you very very much for this simple and easy to follow guide. I have a very basic knowledge of all of this and many of the guides posted required I fill in gaps I didn't know how to fill.
Thank you!

FYI, the original method for obtaining unlock codes from Ashergray or Mills has been blocked by Sony. Now, the only way to unlock has to be done through Allejandrissimo, and costs money.
A free solution is being worked on, but we are nearly back to square one as far as unlocking goes.

how much money?
because I'm getting so tired of running out of space every time I download an app
Halfway down the page Androhero has a (non-rooted) way to free up space (it works, I have anout 100 apps with 100mbs free)

You need to install adb then cd to the adb directory, then type the command.

[Q] Nexus 10 ADB backup error

Before unlock and root my nexus 10, I tried to backup up my app and setting using ADB backup. However, no matter using Wug's toolkit or mskip's toolkit, the backup function doesn't work for me. Every time, after I click the backup button from my nexus 10, the PC screen just pop up a window says that the backup has completed. However, the backup .ab file size is 0 bytes. I tried several times and also tried to restart pc and tablet and turn the tablet to airplane mode before backup. Still doesn't work. Is something wrong with my nexus 10? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Is there no body having same problem?

i would not rely on a tool. best way is to enter the command directly either in linux terminal or windows command prompt.
go to the directory where sdk is installed and where u can find adb.
on my linux machine it is under /downloads/android-sdk-linux-x86/platform-tools/
make sure to be root
then i type in ./adb devices (to make sure adb finds my device)
then i go /.adb backup -all -nosystem -noshared -apk -f /home/me/backup/something.ab
in windows fire up command prompt as administrator
go into ur adb directory
type adb devices
then adb backup -all -nosystem -noshared -apk -f c:\backup\something.ab
hope it works

G4 Root (Testing)

This is a test root method for the G4. It is based off of the original root method for rooting LG devices. The original method showed modified in the boot loader but it didn't have su. This a modified script to push su correctly and the su used by the H815.
Note: On the H815 If you would like root all you have to do is unlock boot loader, flash twrp for G4 then flash the supersu.zip
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

This is a new method that i discovered. Instead of rooting we are just going to flash TWRP then we can root through the recovery. I have tested this on my G3 and i can confirm that you are able to flash recoveries through download mode.
The Recovery used in this is TWRP for H815 and I am not sure of how compatible it is with other variants but if it gives you root then its worth testing.

I've got a Verizon version coming tomorrow. Can't wait to give this a try. Thanks.
Edit - Just tried to download the root zip, and I got a message that it's infected with a virus.

This is the error we get when attempting to download it:
Code:
Sorry, this file is infected with a virus
Only the owner is allowed to download infected files.
EDIT: See my post below for a copy of the ZIP
i think i found a way will upload it later
Does anyone tried this method on the T-Mobile G4 H811?
I was able to use a web-based ZIP extractor to extract then compress it. I have done no scanning for viruses, I simply extracted and repackaged the files.

I think I am unlock is only for unlocking the boot loader not rooting
So I tried this on the H811 (T-Mobile) version.
Everything worked just as described UNTIL the part where I needed to run the root script.
After I paste the SH command, it thinks for a moment, and returns me to the # line...
Not sure how to continue from here, but will be happy to be a guinea pig if someone can tell me what to try.

Same result . Nothing happens ?
this is my input : sh /data/local/tmp/root_g4.sh/data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox
it stays on # nothing more?!
looks like device is not attaching when connected to download mode even if adb.exe devices is executed
