Have you updated your Xperia Sola, Now Root it!
Sony Xperia Sola users must be aware
that just last week there was an official roll out of Ice Cream Sandwich for
their handsets. If you have updated
Xperia Sola with ICS then you would be able to enjoy some really good
features. But our question is that have you rooted your phone? Rooting an
Android opens up all the boundaries and makes it free. Rooting Xperia Sola
helps you make the desired changes in the OS. There was a time when rooting was
quite difficult but now it has become very simple. The credit of this goes to
various Android geeks who could make it possible.
Now coming back to the topic, if you
have Xperia Sola with ICS and wish
to root it then you can follow the procedure as given below. But before that
just go through the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: Rooting Android Smart phone
can be risky and thus you must do it at your risk. Even though rooting helps in
getting the custom experience, it is important to note that there is a small
risk of data loss or phone bricking when you root Xperia Sola.
Things to Remember
The very first thing we would recommend is to take complete back up of your phone. This will help you in case of a mishap.
Keep the phone charged to the extent of
80 percent.
Install USB drivers of Sony Xperia Sola
on your PC.
Enable
USB Debugging on Xperia Sola.
It is
important to note that this tutorial will work on factory unlocked Xperia Sola.
Now when you have fulfilled all the above requirements here are the step by step instructions to root Xperia Sola on ICS 4.0.4.

Note from Bin4ry for root: There is a
special case for Xperia Sola and Xperia S, P etc. phones, this phones run ICS
but don’t have android’s native restore with adb, Sony has added a own custom
“Backup&Restore” app, the script handles this cases too, just choose the
correct option!
