[ROOT] Rooting Toolkit for Xperia 2011 ICS [FW:.562]{LOCKED & UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS}

---

[ info ]


FOR WINDOWS ONLY


THIS WILL WORK ON BOTH LOCKED AND UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS


ok guys so i was directed to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...9&postcount=18

where the user rasgula has posted a rooting toolkit...

it was slightly difficult to use for some users so i have modified it to make it fully automated with least user interaction also as a bonus it will install busybox too...


for those who dont know this is the well known old "andorid emulator" hack/trick... its surprising that Sony left those permissions on /data partitions... Dan rosenberg has posted lots of research material regarding this kind of hack for other android devices...


Credits for this go to the person who found that this old trik/hack works on Sony's Xperia 2011 ICS firmware!


anyways the rooting toolkit is in the downloads section below



[ requirements ]

1. stock ICS firmware 4.1.A.0.562 for your device
2. ADB drivers installed (if u are not sure, then install this)

This script will:

1. root ur device using "andorid emulator" trick
