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?

Even if it does work, this sort of thing shouldn't be allowed. Just trying to promote your own site.

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

This is the only tool you need to root and gain an unlocked bootloader.

Download the advanced ace hack kit and read its manual. Don't use HTCDEV to unlock your bootloader that will only give you problems later.

Always try searching the forum before asking a question. You will be surprised how many people ask the same questions.
For the time being, look in the Android Development forum, there are ICS custom ROMs for you to try.

Hi everyone,
I'm having DHD with Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, i've bought it a year and a half ago, and I never touched it, so it is unrooted and has it's original (stock) room.
Now I'd like to flash a custom rom to it, I've done a lot of research and found out I need to downgrade my device to be able to root it. Now, I've spent hours looking for a proper guide of how to downgrade the device and root it, but found nothing really.
Can you help me? I've almost given it up :S
Thank you very much in advance whoever helps me!

You need to use AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit). You can no longer find it on XDA.
But if you search google for AAHK you will find their support page, and you can download it from there.
Also mae ksure to read the manual (called the effin' manual). Don't skip a word!!
Also, since you are on 2.3.5 you need to downgrade. Instructions are on the effin manual.
Teichopsia, I can't thank you enough man!! You helped me A LOT with that link
I've done this for the first time ever, and all went the way it should! Running ICS wooooo!

The guide was written by glevitan, thus, he deserves the thanks. All I did was point you in the right direction (and proof-reading that guide about 5 times before it was uploaded ).
From that same link check out post #179, currently it should be the last page.
I'm glad it's all sorted out. Happy flashing.

Hello All,
With all the chatters about rooting available for both Xperia z3+ dual and single sim, I thought it would be appropriate to start a thread where noobs may be able to get information regarding the root status of the phone.
Can someone please explain to me (and other noobs, if there are any,) what is the current status? I'm particular interested in the E6533 Dual Sim version with Build Number 32.1.A.1.185. since that is the model of my phone. If there is a tutorial I would be forever grateful if someone can be kind enough to link it here. Thank you all so much, this community is awesome!
I have that phon
I have that phon and I try all rooted kernels but mobile hangs and random reboot I return it to factory reset by flashboot and work some time good then make reboot it seems the developers don't work on dual sim phone sorry for my bad English
So essentially no root for the dual sim? :'(
That would be great if someone writes some "How-to..." Root and Backup and wth are those "different partitions", i think you should backup some of them before doing anything else. I am not a beginner with Android and Rooting and so on, but i come from HTC and this is my first Sony Phone and its really different. I know that there are severall Threads about this, but all the informations are split into a dozend threads and if you are a beginner with Sony its really hard to understand what is the "actually" best you can do.
Great topic, I would also like to know how to. Dont want to lose some goodies such as the excellent noise cancelation and the cameras many functions

That is basically the problem. These "tutorials" are hidden in several threads and not visible to everybody. Of course you can use the search function and it's highly encouraged to do that. But at the same time we need somebody that has successfully rooted this phone to write a proper decently up-to-date "how to" thread so that everybody knows that they can find the necessary steps to root/backup/etc. their device successfully. Although, OP says noob friendly, I think it's also enough if anyone can follow the steps without hassle and getting lost quickly (understandable = decent English). I mean, I don't force anybody to do this, but it would be highly appreciated by many other users if somebody could take the time to create it.

Hi my name is murdoc, you guys can call me doc.
First i would like to say i appreciate anyone taking the time to read this thread and thank all who choose to participate.
I have been reading for about 12 hours on what it is to root you phone. I am still unsure what to do.
I have been trying to get all the necessary files to root my Samsung Galaxy s7 edge, SM-G935V, Android 7.
I have hit some road blocks and still dont have everything i need. Can someone point me in the right direction via link?
At this impasse i thought it may be easier to downgrade to android 6 and use that particular rooting procedure.
Is there any validity to my assertion? If so can someone point me in the right direction?
Again thank you for your time.
