Has anyone tried rooting their xperia phone using the steps provided on Sony Mobile's website? Does it work and is their a risk of your phone being bricked?
THANKS!!

I think you confuse rooting with unlocking the bootloader. Check the All-in-One thread, everything you need to know is in there.

Hey as sony has given open offer for all the devlopers for unlocking the bootloder by detailed procedure at thier site with selected types of sony ericsson handsets. I go though the list they provided and saw it can be done on xperia mini too. I want to know, is there any similarities between x8 and xperia mini??
Can it done on x8?
pls give your valuable comments.

Do you mean X10 mini?
If x10 mini is yes, because X8 and X10 mini are same
Sent from my E15i
It can't be done for X8. X8 is 2010 device, this unlocking method is for 2011 and 2012 (maybe) devices.
Only thing that is the same for Xperia Mini and X8 is the scren resolution, nothing else.
It's unfair. Sony give methods to unlock new phones. My brothers xperia mini pro bootloader unlocked by sony's method
No it's xperia mini.
I don't know both are same or not

Sent from my E15 using xda app-developers app
No. They also support old phones. There is no specified that it is only for new phones

You can't unlock the bootloader of 2010 phones through Sony. Also don't get confused with x10 mini pro and xperia mini pro.

You can do this.
OR a much easier method is to Unlock the Bootloader and use DoomLord's method with his kernel. I used the method in Post #3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129121
He said without unlocking the bootloader

What?
Is your bootloader unlocked or locked?
I'm not sure bootloader is unlocked or locked, I dont want to unlock if it is locked, is there a way to root without unlocking bootloader?
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
If you are unsure them it is locked, because you have to unlock it yourself.
Yes you can root without unlocking, follow the instructions I gave above

Yiou are kidding right....did you do any reading...
Please read the all in one thread. Its the first thread in the Q&A section. It gives all the info you need on unlocking our bootloader.
But first,
goto the dialer and press
*#*#7378423#*#*
goto service info/configuration
If the bottom line says
bootloader unlocked allowed: No
You cannot currently unlock your bootloader by any known means
If it says
bootloader unlock allowed :Yes
Then read the all in one thread and follow the instructions
It says bootloader unlock yes, I tried doing I couldn't do it

You are not following the instructions properly then, and unless you give more details in how and at what step it fails I can't be of much more use

Hi everyone, please I really need help on how to root xperia t, I was using Samsung galaxy s2 and rooting it was so easy but xperia t is a Little bit confusing for me. I am a novice with sony xperia t. I have already unlocked the bootloader, but for rooting, I need a video tutorial or step by step manual on how to do this, because I need to do it. I have so many programs that require root Access, without root is all useless. thank you very much beautiful people and hoping to hear from you....bye

wow,
why have you unlocked your bootloader? What did you want to do?
Anyway, now that you have unlocked there is no need to root, just flash a custom kernel (I recommend DooMKerneL, find it in the dev section, make sure you get the one for the T)
Once you have flashed that you will have root.
So my second day on this phone and its great! I only got to root the phone, my model apparently can't unlock boot loader.. bummer. But can someone give me steps on to flash a rom?

Look up doomlords custom recovery follow instructions on there.. if working download custom Rom and follow the developers instructions....
But this depends on your device c6606 I don't know if they got custom roms not sure if c6603 Roms will work

Just look in the title for [LB], or if it's based off stock Sony FW it should work.
You'll find all roms for locked bl in the development section.. Original android dev is for custom roms. Go explore. It's not a hard job. Plus there aren't many. Just a few brilliant ones.have fun. :thumbup::thumbup:

You don't say which firmware version you're running. It's best to provide details when asking for help.
If you're running anything up to and including 4.4.2 (10.5.A.0.230), then just use towelroot.
If you're on 4.4.4 (10.5.1.A.0.283 or 10.5.1.A.0.292) then it's slightly more complicated. Follow my guide here.
