[Q] Rooting & Unrooting Xperia Play

---

Hello xda comunity!

I got an Xperia PLAY about 2 days ago and it comes with tons of bloatware and pre-installed apps which I would like to erase. I have been searching in Google a way to root and then unroot it but I don't know too much about this since this is just my first Android mobilephone and my consoles just got stolen some days ago I wouldn't want to lose my XPlay... So, if anyone could guide me in the correct way to do it I would appreciate it.

Btw, my XPLAY is an R800a

I use the built in rooting feature of Flashtool ver 0.6.7.0 if it does not work, my alternative would be Doomlord's Zergrush (always works 100% of the time for me). You just have to download some Java stuff like the ADB drivers, etc. There are many useful links on the Xperia Play Android Development section. I have Google as my best friend as well
