I have the latest Flashtool installed, and both my V's are updated to 9.2.A.2.5, with the boot loaders unlocked on both.
I rooted both of them before the update (can't recall how I did it or where I got the information.) Now one of them is rooted and running Avast Antitheft; no problems there. The other, however, just won't root. Using the latest flashtool, which installs TowelRoot on the phone, the phone reboots right after I press the "make it ra1n" button, indicating failure to root.
Here's the log I keep getting in Flashtool:

And it just goes on and on like this. What am I missing or doing wrong?
SOLVED!
SOLVED! Here's how it turned out:
I found this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798411
... which didn't work - at the first few attempts:
a. Installing Towelroot from internal storage using the built-in file manager seemed to be in conflict with... well, Towelroot being already installed.
b. Chainfire's superSU kept giving me an error message.
So I figured I should uninstall both using the phone's app manager and try the instructions in the link above from scratch, and voila! Here's the log:

LT25i noob
Please help me out...I have been searching this forum for 3 days now and cannot find a straight forward answer, every thread says something different and I am confused as hell now!
I have the LT25i on 9.2.A.2.5, bootloader locked, but unlockable, and not rooted.
How do I unlock bootloader, and root, so that I can flash a custom rom?
Solved
I have actually just managed to get this all sorted...unlocked bootloader using flashtool and rooted by following steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798411&highlight=unlocked
If only I could have found that thread 3 days ago!

Wow excellent advice...do you think I just stumbled across all the threads I read accidentally?
It is extremely difficult for someone rooting a different phone for the first time to know exactly what to type in the search bar to get the correct info.
There is not an up to date all-in-one thread for XV noobs
Here is how I did it, I wanted to fastboot and install a recovery for my xperia z. The installation took ages and so I pulled the cable. I then flashed a stock rom but it fails at installing loader.sin. So, do I need to flash other roms? I have my bootloader unlocked. I can enter flash mode. Theres a red blinking LED light on my Z.

That is a common error that doesn't seem to happen for consistent reasons as far as I can tell.
You could just try again. If that doesn't help, try a different USB cable or port or even a different PC if you can.

Hi
I have a X8 E15a (11W52) that has pattern lock. Since this device doesn't have a recovery mode and the usb debugging isn't enabled I haven't be able to remove the patter lock.
So I decided to flash it. Sony PC Companion says that there's no updates available and I get an error with Flashtool.
