4 Steps Rooting for Xperia Go JB [6.2.A.1.100] from DooMLoRD of XDA [Locked and Unlocked Bootloader]

eljunpacomios — Mon, 24 Jun 2013 03:46:29 GMT

I do not own this post or whatever, just sharing.

Guys, can anyone try this rooting method and report back? I was not

able to bring my USB cable at work so I am not able to try it now.

STEPS

just download the file, extract it completely using winzip/winrar DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v14_perf-event-exploit.zip
go to the folder where its extracted and execute "RUNME.bat"
read and follow the instructions on the screen!
REBOOT THE DEVICE AFTER THE SCRIPT HAS FINISHED EXECUTION!

Working 100% many thnaks to DooMLoRD..........debloating frees 250MB ROM space, reduce my NANDroid backup by half........doing some modification on apps since this FW .100 does not include any file manager so I am making one built-in........

You'll probably want to revert to the older Xperia Home launcher and weather widget from 6.2.A.0.400 as well, since the former has an odd issue where the apps tray background isn't stretched properly, and the latter retains weather information much longer when disconnected. Just remember to delete WeatherWidget2.apk (that's the one from 6.2.A.1.100) so you don't have two weather widgets, though it's perfectly harmless to leave it in anyway.

Both apks were extracted from the 0.400 firmware and are 100% stock (right down to their digital signatures by Sony), feel free to use jarsigner (jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs ) to verify that it is so.

It says something like "COMPLETE!" and the phone reboots! 😐

Guys! Stop trying root apps! LOL!! Geebus! Fiddlin' with System Tuner ;D

mightymickee — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 15:57:27 GMT

@mad_go YO! I use No Frills, is set cpu bettah? :smileygrin:

Re: 4 Steps Rooting for Xperia Go JB [6.2.A.1.100] from DooMLoRD of XDA [Locked and Unlocked Bootloader]

mad_go — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 16:03:23 GMT

Never tried frills, I uninstalled set cpu though, System Tuner does it all! ;D

Now that it's rooted, can I change the kernel even with locked bl? 😐

Nevemind, dumb question!!

Fiddling with System Tuner is the shiznit! Much faster, battery performance must decrease of course but, screen off goes to 200mhz so... I'm very happy! It even hasa Build option where you can change values like, Power Saver, Improve Responsiveness, Improve Call Ringer Speed, Improve screen on speed during calls! More! Much MORE! ;D And FINALLY!

1GHz x2 Foh evaaaah! ;D

taboo5200 — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 16:36:30 GMT

Short answer: No.

Long answer: No, because the kernel resides in the boot partition, which must be signed by the manufacturer (i.e. Sony) before the bootloader will boot from it. Unlocked bootloaders will bypass this restriction.

I get:

CONFIRM ALL THE ABOVE THEN

Press any key to continue . . .

--- STARTING ----

--- WAITING FOR DEVICE

The system cannot find the path specified.

--- creating temporary directory

The system cannot find the path specified.

--- cleaning

The system cannot find the path specified.

no root. I have a locked BL.

EDIT: OK, so you need to run in MTP, not MSC mode.

mad_go — Wed, 26 Jun 2013 09:24:22 GMT

I had that too! I then, desperately, tried to force my way into ADB mode by:

Pressing the Vol. + Button and then inserting the USB cable ;D

Give it a try and give some feedback! ;D

OH! Is USB debugging mode ON? In the dev options?

elektrinis — Wed, 26 Jun 2013 09:38:53 GMT

yes, debugging is on. I am root already, so won't try other tricks. MTP mode helped me.
