you can follow my TUT on my signature.
and since SGMII(S6500/D) doesnt(at the mean time) have official JB ROM its working on a STOCK gingerbread ROM.
while the CM10 ROM which is JB 4.1 Based ROM by TheWhisp is pre-rooted.

[Q] How to Root Xperia V - 4.0.4

Hi !
I have an Xperia V with ICS 4.0.4 , the firmware is 9.0.D.0.484
And I don't know how to Root it, I've seen a way flashing TRIMMED-LT25i-SOL21_9.0.F.0.195.ftf but I tried and , first it's too hard, and I was stuck to the "ADB SHELL" step (command lines are useless, it do nothing).
So is there an easiest way (we are in 2014) to root an ICS LT25i
Please Help me ...

That method is easy. It even has numbered steps to follow, kind of like the ones they give children in kindergartens... If you had a problem with it, it would have been better to post it and ask for a solution to that; or google it... we are in 2014.
On a side note, if you update to FW: 9.1.A.1.140/142, or FW: 9.1.A.1.145, you might be able to use Doomlords Rooting Kit V17.

Yes of course if you follows it step by step its easy, but it's not really my point, when an abd shell does not do what you want you're stuck..
And yes i've seen that JB firmware arre easy to root but I came from JB and want to stay with ICS for better peformances
Now, I'm trying another ICS firmware for the V (LT25i_9.0.1.D.​0.10_Nordic.ft​f) because it sounds really easy to root
I'll post the results here , it could help many people
Thank you !

You could also root on JB and flash a rooted stock ICS rom afterwards.

Yeah, but my point was, instead of just giving up, you could try figuring out why you're stuck with an "adb shell" that "does not do what you want"... and when finding what was holding you back, you could have posted the answers here for others to find. For instance, I know that if you don't enable USB debugging, adb won't work. I know this because I googled it, because either it's in the documentation, or someone else figured it out and posted it online...

Hi everybody
So I finally flash 9.0.1.D.0.10 kernel (ICS 4.0.4) , It's easiest to root it, with the TWRP Kernel !!
Thank you

[Q] [Stock ROM] moto X 1052 Retail EU 4.4.4

Hi,
i lost my all data and backup STOCK ROM, then is was trying to unroot using RSD lite it shows error i.e Downgrade Security reason error.
can any one post stock for my moto x 1052 Retail EU versions 4.4.4.
:crying:
Thanks
Mahesh...

I'm not sure that the files have been released for manual flashing yet.
Can you be more specific on the current state of your device... It's wiped and unusable? What have you tried flashing exactly? Did you try to flash an older version of android?
And what All have you tried to do.
And what version were you on before all this?
And how were you rooted exactly?
Just trying to see the whole picture here. Need all this info to really help... Hopefully.
At this point, you may be waiting until the files are out for flashing.... Unless your answers to these questions change something. ?

I suggest you not do anything else until you've researched this a bit more.
No, you can't downgrade safely. You could brick your device trying, or later by taking an OTA.
I don't, and many others, ever suggest downgrading. It's very dangerous and has left many with serious problems, or even unusable devices.
That said. Why are you trying to unroot exactly?
Also... You can only flash the 4.4.4 files now. They probably aren't available yet so you will need to be patient. If CM is working for you now, that's great.... But you may be stuck like that until the SBF files are out for 4.4.4....then you can flash it with RSDLite or fastboot.
I don't see you have any other safe options.

There's only one cm rom in the development section. And unless there's been a recent change, it's been discontinued, and has bugs. ?

How many phones have you bricked? I'm sorry, but I remember many of your posts with big problems in the past. You seem to ignore most advice. No offense intended.... But it's true.
Cause this one will brick if you ever take an ota. Practically guaranteed.
Hope you realize that? ?
Also.... Everyone gets lucky occasionally.... But the X section is filled with threads from people who didn't get lucky.
So please never recommend anyone try it. You don't want to be responsible for them being unlucky and destroying their toy. Right? ?

i don t recommend it like we speak in another thread.
i just tell that this is possible.
i bricked the device for others reasons and not for downgrade.
but like u say if the people don t know how to do it or what s the risk to do it : DON T DOWNGRADE.

You have a fitting user name. ?
Seriously, with some people not knowing what they are doing... And with communication misunderstandings due to language barriers and what not...
If someone asks you can they safely downgrade.... Just say no. ?
Cause it's never safe. You're adventure isn't necessarily over either.... If you take an ota accidentally or on purpose... You might be phone shopping. ?
That's all I'll say on that.

Rooting 5.1.1

But i really don't want to downgrade my phone it takes alot of time and effort. I just want the method of pre rooting. It's just that i really don't know what are the basics such as the "Bootloader", SuperSU, how to choose the designated firmware and also the root recovery.
If you know a thread or a link please reply it to me.

D6633? Wrong forum my friend ?
