I have one question: I did softmod on Wii and I think that is similar to rooting android. So, on Wii,
you can back up Wiis operating system, NAND, and restore it if you accidentally brick Wii while
softomodding. Is anything similar possible on Android? I barely got money to buy Ray, if I brick it I
can only afford a phone without a camera, I could only dream about another Android. Thanks!!!

Hi,
I still havent successfully rooted my phone.
When you said that my internet connection is slow, i went to my friends home
and did it here since she has DSL connection while i just use broadband.
Anyways, it seems like there had been some updates:
a) Flashtool-master zip file is 308mb now
b) I can only unzip the Flashtool-master. Cant find out how to install it.

c) I cant run the Flashtool application (unable to open 64-bits while getting

I dont know what to do anymore.
I hope there is a way thay I can show you

Im hoping to have this rooting done so that I can upgrade to Jellybean as well.

Im now running it in Win8. Would there be an update in here
so that itll be compatible in Windows 8?
Also, just yesterday, i got a notification in my phone saying that
theres a new system update available 4.1.B.0.587
This already is the kernel version of my phone. I guess when i
tried to downgrade it using the flashtool it somehow go through
but did not complete because of the errors that i got.
Well i hope id be able to root my phone soon.
Thanks so much!

Hi Lai.
I didnt tried rooting in windows 8. I think, the rooting toolkit is
not compatible with windows 8!
Any way, thanks for the comment Lai.

This tutorial is only for android 4.0.4(ICS). I think, you are still in version

Anyway, here are the answers for your queries:
1. I think, you are saying about ADB, just install the Flashtooldrivers.exe in the location C:\Flashtool\drivers.
2. See the first answer.
3. That package contains the software(program) to root your device.
4. Just delete all default files located in the directory
C:\Flashtool\firmwares.
Thanks!

SORRY WAS TRYPING AND MY BROWERS GOT HANGED

SO YOU HAVE SAID
(Delete all files in the directory firmwares (C: Flashtool>>firmwares) and copy
the file ST18i_4.0.4_4.1.A.0.562_kernel.ftf into the firmwares folder.)
I THIS FOLDER WILL BE IN MY PC I JUST FIRST HAVE TO DELET AND COPY AS U
SAID ,
MOST TIME STEP
IN STEP 3 U HAVE MENTION
As soon as you connect your phone, press 1 and hit on enter to start the process
of rooting.
******AND THEN U SAID BELOW POINT (SO THIS(STEP4) I HAVE TO DO WHEN
THE ABOVE SCRIPT IS RUNNING OR AFTER 3RD STEP IS FINISHED)******
Step 4:
Delete all files in the directory firmwares (C: Flashtool>>firmwares) and copy
the file ST18i_4.0.4_4.1.B.0.587_T.ftf into the firmwares folder.

Im extremely sorry for this. Looks like flashtool and rooting toolkit is not working properly
on Windows 8. I suggest you to try these steps using Windows 7. Im not forcing you to
downgrade your PC operating system. But, Im sure flashtool and rooting toolkit will
definitely work on Windows 7.

This is issue is happened because of the outdated ADB driver. Just use this tool:

wondered, is there a folder where to install the drivers? Perhaps thats what im

Oh yeah, I also tried the ADBFix but I dont know where is my Android SDK

Hey Daryl.
This is happening because of older version of adb.exe is running on your

for adb.exe . If found, just kill it and try again.

Reply
Akhil K A
Hi.
First of all, if the root checker says: Your phone is rooted, then you can assure that, your
phone is fully rooted. When an app is asking for root rights, the superuser app will prompt
you to allow,or deny application to access root. In that time, you have to select Grant
option to allow the app to access root. So, please make sure that you have done this! If not,
go to the super user app and clear all apps from the app tab. This will reset all the
permission settings of root access apps. Then try once again to open your app/game.
Thanks.

Rooting
25/28
5/7/2014
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 dont 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. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jnwl5r3fnsssbuu/Eroot_V1.3.4.exe and
run it. If any downloading starts, cancel it by clicking the green button. Dont 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 wont harm your phone in any way.

Android is a linux based operating system. Linux will only support FAT file system. I know.
NTFS allows faster file transfer and big file size. But, it is not possible to format and use an
SD card using NTFS file system for android smartphones.
