How to root my Xperia Ray (ST8i)

I have the android 2.3.4 version and build number 4.0.2.A.0.62

My bootloader is locked.

The only method i Know is to downgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.42 or go to the ICS and root then it.

is there another method?

If I flash my rom downgrade/upgrade to level then I lose all my data/setings etc.?

If so how all backup and restore?

Please explain!

Don't forget the rooting may void your warranty, and you do so at your own risk

There are 2 methods, one you know and the other changes the nuclei.

Download the rom 4.0.2.a.0.42 and flash only its core, then root using any method

Then again, flash back, the core of 0.62 and you will have a rooted 0.62

You know how the nuclei flashk and firmwares?

Flash firmwares, see How Downgrade part and to see how Flash just the kernel, see how root 4.0.4

  • Confusion on the bootloader and root Xperia Ray

    Hi.Im using Xperia Ray with ICS 4.0.4
    But I have a few questions that I got confused

    1. What is the difference between the root and the locked bootloader?
    2. How do I know if the bootloader of my phone is locked or unlocked?

    3. If I want to overclock my phone or the Flash custom rom, am I just that root my phone or I need to unlock my bootloader as well?

    Thank you!

    (1) the bootloader is a small piece of code that is used to load an operating system

    While

    Root is the access to the base of the system files. It is a procedure that grants you admin/root on our mobile access.

    After rooting, you can change any file inside your operating system

    To protect the Android operating system against corruption, it is read-only, but after rooting, it becomes writable as well

    (2) (2) connecter connect to companion pc, then try to update

    If the pc companion shows that the software is average updated the bootloader is unlocked

    Even stock track ID stop after the unlocking of the boot

    (3) to flash rom custom, you must unlock the trunk, but just to overclock, you could do with the root so

    Although custom cores are best suited for overclocking

    Rooting may void your warranty, and you do so at your own risk

    You can not root 4.0.2.a.0.62 because it is difficult

    What you could do to root is either downgrade to 0.42 0.58 and then roots, or flash a core of old and then root

    How to read a blu ray movie in family vista premium sp1, my blu ray drive is an optiarc bdrom bc5500s with a provider of firmware Rev 1.83 pc is an hp dv7-1095eo

    How to read a blu ray movie in family vista premium sp1, my blu ray drive is an optiarc bdrom bc5500s with a provider of firmware Rev 1.83 pc is an hp dv7-1095eo

    Consult the following site who says he has a fix important firmware for your machine.  Maybe that's the answer: http://www.sony-optiarc.eu/supportservice/downloads/bluraydrivesnotebooks/bc5500s.html. (this page also includes support contact us links).  I don't know if you have to go through them or through HP, but it can't hurt to try.  If the player Blu Ray comes with your HP, you can NOT use this solution as it is does not work, but it can cause damage.  I don "t know how you have it so you have to answer this question, and then do the right thing (even if it means that you can't use the hotfix).

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  Check for the blu ray devie and make sure it says that it is a blu ray devie drive (if it does not say blu ray in the description it likely somehow is not recognizing that it is a device of blu ray and pilots could be the answer). If you need to get the drivers (and you need to do at least for blu - ray device even if you installed from the disc supplied with the deivice - ago maybe more recent updates available for this device and your version of Vista and all the others you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem) leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    It is not a Vista problem from your description.  It looks like a driver problem devixe, some missing software or firmware that is necessary to make the camera to recognize blu ray discs, or a problem with the devicce himself.  You have another computer, you can connect to see if you can get it to work on this computer (or you can connect directly to your TV if it is an option).  If Yes, we know devixe works and it is something on the laptop that is at the origin of the problem.  Have you confirmed that this device is compatible with your version of Vista in the http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/default.aspxVista Compatibility Center?

    Another problem can be the software you use to play the movie - it cannot recognize or be able or read blu ray discs (or it can be so slow that you give before there actually loading times as I read that some may take a matter of several minutes before start).  What software you are using (name and version)?

    Have you tried to contact the Helpdesk of brush head to see if they can help?  Because it's brand new, they should be happy to help you set up and work with you to resolve the problem with it being unable to recognize blu ray discs.  They met perhaps this situaton several times and have a solution easy availalble.  If the above does not work I give them a call and help you get them.  Again, I know not what provider, you must contact (but it it came with the machine, I think you deal with HP and what I read there is no solution available yet but things may have changed since that was sent)- but try both of them (one is bound to be willing and able to help you).

    I hope this helps.

    Good lucck!
