Hi Guys,
I am totally newbie here. I just got my Sony Xperia V, I found a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277334
And then, in the post by imk82, he said he must do a backup first with Sony's backup app before he finally able to root Sony Xperia V with Bin4ry method with no problem in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41457358&postcount=2861
But I have no idea what does he mean by "Sony's Backup-app".
Someone could tell me more specific about it?
Is it App in Google Play or is it PC Companion?
And why is it related?
Thanks.
Furthermore, there seems 2 options to root Xperia V
If you look at the source of the script, you will see...
echo 1) Normal
echo 2) Special (for example: Sony Tablet S, Medion Lifetab)
echo 3) New Xperia Root by Goroh_kun (Xperia Z, Xperia V [JellyBean] ...)
echo G) Google Glass Mode (thx Saurik for the ab file)
Seems either 1 or 3 can be chosen to root Xperia V, but what's the different? I couldn't find the info anywhere
a backup is not essential.
I have never heard of rooting destroying any files. (*But that is no gurentee)
You need option 3 for jellbean

Hi thanks for reply.
I finally found the guide here (hxxp://talk.sonymobile.com/message/398680#398680), it's quite simple
I copy paste the guide here :
How to root Xperia T and Xperia V ( 9.1.A.1.140 )
Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"
Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging
Download the Rooting Toolkit > Link 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 and extract it. Run it and select Normal Mode , press enter. Now connect your phone, follow the on-screen instructions it shows.

Based on this guide, we should choose No.1 Normal Mode.
But you said we should choose No.3, now I got confuse

Hi, since I use my xperia in German I'm not sure about English menu. But try like this:
There should be an app already installed at your xperia. Called Backup & Restore (or similar) - the icon is round and looks a little bit like a door of a safe / vault, colors are mostly white and some red. Start this app and follow instructions.
Hope it helps you.

Yes I am JB, it's 9.1.A.1.140
So must choose No. 3
What is the No.1 then? A bit curious, is it for different version of firmware?
No. 1 is for ICS based firmwares

I tried the method Bin4ry gave, but the root was not working well, for example when I run Titanium Backup it's asking for permissions thousands times.
Then I installed BusyBox from the market, and after that rooted with this method - Motochopper, it installs SuperSU, and then the applications ask the SuperSU for permissions only once and its working fine now.
You can safely delete the Superuser and BusyBox Free after that, only SuperSU is needed.
I am not sure though which I did first, the Motochoper root or the BusyBox installer.

Did you mean you re-rooted your Phone with "Motochopper" method the link you give? And it's working well for you instead of using Bin4ry method?
OK, thanks for this info, because I haven't even tried Bin4ry method to root my Sony Xperia V yet. :victory:

I mean I rooted it with the Bin4ry method first, it was rooted, but the Superuser required permissions everytime multiple times and didn't remembered. So with the Motochopper it installed SuperSU instead of Superuser and it's working fine with it.

I have a C6902, bought in Vietnam. I can find any correct version of firmware for my divice so I download and flash .534 TW into my device. It start normally but the camera now can't start again.
How can I fix this problem?
Clear the data and cache of the Camera app.

Work great, thank you very much.
After I used Bin4ry's root and upgraded back to 2.257 my camera stopped working. Any way to undo or fix this? I really want to use the camara. I did not unlock the bootloader(I think).
Thanks in advance!

Just download and install towelroot.
Click on the 'Make it rain' button, then install SuperSU from playstore.
Thank you for reply
I also tried towelroot. Nothing changed, the phone restart without being rooted

Which version of stock ROM are you using?
This should work fine on stock .205 or .207
Try this apk.

At first you cant see any change. Check root by an app like rootchecker.
My stock room version is 12.1.A.1.205
I used an app called Root checker Basic.
the result is: sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device
I have shut down the device from the button at the back then used tr.apk., It is rooted now
Sorry for any disturbance
Thank you
