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

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

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

Thanks to eswawan for sharing it first in the Xperia Go Android Development XDA page.

I'm new to the world of rooting so i have one question: with locked bootloader, can you still receive official updates using pcc/sus?

Yes....

After rooting my ICS, I was able to receive updates, specifically the JB update.

But then it will be unrooted right? Or am I wrong? 😐

What about it guys? What has rooting a JB XGO brought to my bros? Nothing? No tweakys? No fast miracle plugins? Nothing? Cmon' brainiacks! You can do it! Smiling_Face_with_open_mouth_&_closed_Eyes

Sharing: I just thought others like a 'darky' phone and messaging. :smileygrin: :smileygrin:

shared from. [Mod][JB]Darky Apps

STEPS SUMMARY

0. Go to  /system/app/  and backup copies of your stock Conversations.apk, Phonebook.apk, SemcPhone.apk

1. Download the zip files below

PhoneBook

Messaging

Normal Phone

2. Extract the files and copy ONLY Conversations.apk, Phonebook.apk, SemcPhone.apk from ..zip_extracted/system/app/ directory.

3. Paste the Conversations.apk, Phonebook.apk, SemcPhone.apk to your phones /system/app/ directory

3.1 If there is a need to change the permission [in my case, no need but possibly needs one], set the files to to 644 or -rw-r--r--

4. RESTART

5. Viola! You have been darkied! Hehe. :smileygrin: :smileygrin:

HOPE YOU LIKE IT GUYS!

This is the power of rooting. Hihihi.

HI eljun,

Are you expreince dialer lag after this new dialer apk?

engr_tabz
Visitor

Gawwd! I thought I bricked my phone since I can't reboot due to an error, something like android phone blah bla blah stop responding after installing those apks. Well, hard reset is awesome!LOL.. It's pretty smooth and fast compare to stock phone app. No plan of switching back to stock phonebook, messaging, and phone dialer apps. This one is good for the eyes! LOLOLOL

Bro donsidh1, I  only had the dialer issue once. With this new dark

apps, no difference at all, just the looks.

bro engr.tabz, Good thing you are enjoying it..

The thing is, in the messaging app,  I just noticed the white line bleow

the images. But it is not bothering me at all. I will try to raise this in XDA

and ask whatever they have to say about it.
