i revived my PRO. now i wanna root it with cwm and install ultimate HD. what is the fastest method? i know root tools. anyone can tell me briefly?

it was like 2 years ago i did my last rooting on my PRO...deng..

To install ROM, place rom.zip into memory card.
Flash provided kernel. Usually in xda rom thread.
Enter fastboot mode and flash kernel.
after that enter recovery mode and wipe all.
flash rom.
That it.
No need root stock rom. Just flash custom kernel.

Now, this phone really outdated . With 200mb internal memory, I can not even use it as main phone.
RIP xpro.

How time flies! 3 years ady dah

Use custom kernel. LuPuS is the most stable IMO.
Flash using Flashtool is the fastest.

200 MB? Mine got 420 MB + 2 GB a2SD.

quick brief. kernel lupus flash using flashtool into the phone. then will preinstalled with root and cwm, correct?

i will download lupus now.

whats the fastest way to root? lupus kernel requires root.

ok. il again rewrite how it can be done from scratch for our PRO..LOL

1. download FlashTool
2. download adb driver (u may download from xda via FlashTool page from doomlord and extract exe to install)
3. download "root/unroot sony ericsson android phone 2011 v1.5 by quangnhut123"
4. connect hp to pc, ignore pc companion, extract quangnhut123 to desktop, select root and wait until hp restart - ROOTED.
5. download "Finally CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2 for Stock Xperia Neo/Neo v [With Lock Bootloader]", extract to desktop, select cwm1 for PRO, follow instruction.
6. download your preferable firmware in winrar format into the memory card, boot into cwm by pressing down volume button when SE word comes out.
7. wipe data, wipe cache, clear dalvic, install zip from sdcard. settle.


WORKS FOR LOCKED AND UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER PRO.

Sorry for the late reply.
Why don't use the LuPuS kernel only? It already included root and CWM.
Flash the kernel, boot into CWM and install UHD (of course for unlocked bootloader only).

i used flashtool to flash lupus kernal, but it says my device haven root. but already rooted it still say havent root, so i gave up.

IINM it mean you bootloader is still lock.

not possible. i unlocked it the first time i got it to root it.that time still haven got ways to bypass the lock, alternative way will be using wire-tappings. when connected to flashtool, it says root access allowed. but when flash lupus, it says root is required.

deng..it till so long to boot into the main desktop..still stuck at SE logo..i think i made a bootloop..

Okay. This is weird.

Did you use flashmode or fastboot mode in the flashtool?
The led notification will light blue if you enter the fastboot, and in my case I can only use USB 2.0 port to use fastboot.

yes i did use fastboot mode. deng..i made a bootloop...stucked at SE logo..now reflash with ori stock GB firmware..redoing everything again...duno i did wrong which step..it stucked at the logo when UHD finished installation and auto restarted..it shouldnt take so long to log into the system...

Well, that quite a process to do.
Why not install a custom kernel (CM9 kernel perhaps), wipe data, system, cache etc, install UHD and flash the stock kernel again.

Or maybe using x-Part for CWM?

i use xpart last time before i use the latest UHD. now reinstalling UHD using cwm...hopefully wont stuck at logo again. if stuck il let it stuck and see if it really takes that long to log in..

Well, if more than 5 minutes for sure it's bootloop.

still with SE logo...deng deng deng...isit that UHD needs an ICS kernel to install?
