Hey everyone ,
I am new here and this is my first post so let me get started and say thankyou for this awesome forum and thankyou all for your help.
I have a sony ericsson xepria pro mk16i. It was a gift so it is a very precious to me.
I have been facing trouble with it since some timesuch as low memory high battery consumption and I am not able to install or unistall any apps on it.
I looked online and found that I have to root it , I tried an application called rootgenius on my pc but when it reached the rooting step it crashed ( twice!! ). SO i gave up on it. I looked a lot throught the xda forum and found that I have to update my device to ICS before I can root it . I tried to use the sony companion method and that failed because it seems that sony doesn't have the update/ software on their servers anymore. I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-neo/xperia-pro/root-xperia-pro-android-2-3-4-help-t2862534 .
In this thread the OP was adviced to use flashtool. I looked online into using flashtool but I was more discouraged than ever to even try.
As you may see I am rather inexperienced when it comes to my phone , as thus I appreciate ( a lot ) any guidance or instructions as to what to do.
Thanks a million everyone.
