Before Starting:

(for .28 firmware download from [https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0Bz06rXmQh1ZqN0tjYldYcGRNRjg/edit?pli=1&docId=0Bz06rXmQh1ZqRUZ0N1RrRldpRU0] and flash it)

" The procedure is Root first! thn apply CWM!"

Flashing:

if u dont have a flash tool download it  for windows and install drivers located in C:\Flashtool\drivers (choose all drivers)

since flash tool does not have xperia j drivers..u may hav flashing problem...for that

1.download and extract ST26.zip 

2.open flash tool
3.click devices>import
4.navigate to d file u've extracted
5.now xperia j driver is installed
u can now flash without any problem

Lets Root :

1.extract Root_J.zip
2.make sure 'usb debugging' is enabled in devolpment settings
3.double click Runme.bat file for windows users...runme.sh for linux users
4.wait for process to finish (mostly should work)

Steps For CWM:

1.extract CWM_J.zip
2.'usb debugging' on
3.double click 'install.bat' only for windows (linux not working! my bad..)
4.wait for it.....installed! close the shell program and switch off the phone..


Plug in charger or USB....the phone switches on....press up and down volume keys repeatedly when SONY logo flashes.....voila u get into CWM !

You need plugged in charger or USB to goto CWM! Else CWM wont Work!!


reboot to system and see if supersu is installed  finish! ur phone is rooted and cwm is installed !!

CWM has little bugs ..but its a never mind stuff..

use arrow keys to navigate..power button to select and 'go back' option in cwm itself to go to previous options.
