Three new devices join the vast armada of devices that developers have given us root access for; the Xperia Play, the Xperia Neo and the Xperia Arc. All manufactured by the good people at Sony Ericsson.
Pocket Now is reporting that the devices have been rooted but for those unfamiliar with the process, this isn’t one of those ‘one click roots’ that we’ve come to love. Here are the details, from Pocket Now.
You’re going to need your bootloader unlock code for the process, which you can now retrieve for qualifying phones using Sony Ericsson’s website tool (you’ll need a phone that’s not SIM-locked to a carrier, and be willing to relinquish warranty coverage as a result of your tinkering). Once you’ve got the bootloader open, you can re-flash your Xperia with one of the specially-prepared images, tailored for various localizations. A quick reboot later, and you’ve got your root access.
Downloads are available now supporting the Xperia Play and several Xperia Arc releases, with the needed Xperia Neo files promised for release tomorrow.
If you’re interested in rooting your Play, Neo or Arc, you can find more info at the source links below.
