Update: I have now also made a Linux port for DooMLoRD's rooting of ICS phones.(Sony Xperia only)
Please see attached file: Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-Linux.zip
Note: You need flashtool for linux. Procedure remains the same as for windows.
Original script thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
Rooting procedure: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0
Please update Superuser app as well as SU binary to the latest version after rooting is done successfully.
Update: Updated as per DooMLoRD's v4.0 script with zergRush binary of 21 Nov 2011 and with makespace which deletes Google Maps if there is not enough space.(< 6MB).
Hello
I am completely new to Android but not at all new to Linux.
I used paxchristos script (ran commands manually though) to root my Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman. (WT19i / Android 2.3.4 / Build 4.0.2.A.0.58)

In an attached file, I fixed/modified/added few things in paxchristos script. Here is the detail:
1) Fixed error in symlinking su. (source/destination were same)
2) Don't delete (and recreate) /data/local/tmp/ directory unnecessarily, just delete its contents.
3) Create /data/local/tmp if it does not exist.
4) Uses dd instead of cp (because DooMLoRD's script does,dont know why!). Update: as per anantshri, dd is used because cp has been known to give errors.
5) If your system already has 'adb' then it uses system 'adb' instead of one in zip-archive.
6) Updated zip archive to contain the latest files from DooMLoRD's archive (paxchristos archive seemed old)
Please try/verify and let me know if I missed something.
Thanks.
