the most important question is, why do you want to root your phone?

what do you mean by that? :smileygrin:
btw, what is bootloader?

Re: Newbie - About Rooting

jackxperiaP — Fri, 21 Jun 2013 06:07:50 GMT

if u want a custom rom like the one mithun mentioned and installed in his device, u need to unlock ur bootloader which voids the warranty of ur device.. http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/unlock-bootloader/ go here to unlock ur bootloader..

an easy method means a software is going to come, which has been there for xperia p for ICS not for JB. conncet ur device to ur pc and run tat sofware , which ll root ur mobile in few mins.. as of now that software of JB is under construction :smileysilly:.. now u can easily root by flashing a ICS rom and then rooting it .. and again u can install the pre rooted JB .. go here and check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250101 read it ??? feels a big procedure ... so wait until develpers give u an easy rooting toolkit

jackxperiaP — Fri, 21 Jun 2013 06:37:51 GMT

s and am too waiting for tat ..:smileylaugh: but aft nov once my warranty expires ill unlock my bootloader and flah a custom rom

Re: Newbie - About Rooting

mithun_xperiap — Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:13:56 GMT

Rooting gives u access to the system files of ur device otherwise unaccessable, Helps u installl various mods ,install custom roms etc

Unlocking bootloader - helps u flash custom kernels, Overclock & Underclock ur procesor etc(BUT IT VOIDS UR WARRANTY)

U can root ur device and still have ur bootloader locked.

mithun_xperiap — Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:14:57 GMT

pawankonjarla — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 12:03:47 GMT

Will this rooting voids warranty of the device??? Its better to root after getting information about unrooting also....
