    1. After succesfully rooting you can move any apps to sd card. Delete pre installed app by company. You became super user., you control your device.

  24. Tried it just now, worked like a charm. Excellent guide.

    I should mention, it's VERY important to make sure you have version 11.2.A.0.21.

    If you do, this guide is awesome.

  25. Hi, thank you by the way, I followed everything in this tutorial and I rooted my phone successfully.

    I have one problem though. I installed an app named Chainfire3D for my graphics needs. But after rebooting the phone, I stuck up in the SONY logo part, and it did not go any further. Now, I have read from some forum that I just have to execute some command using ADB shell. But in order for me to do that, I should have my phone in CWM mode.

    My problem is, I went back to this tutorial, tried your "entering CWM method", i.e. turn-on phone and wait for blue light at the bottom and press volume + and - simultaneously. Now I am wondering why I cant see the blue light at the bottom anymore, it goes directly to the SONY logo, thus I cant enter CWM. :(

    Please help. Thanks.

  26. I have rooted my phone successfully as it shows supersu in menu and root access allowed in flashtool but I cannot enter CWM recovery as I did while installing root_xperia.zip. Any solutions?
