Root Sony Xperia E

Rooting Sony Xperia E

Before proceeding any further you need to download the required stuff in order to be ready to Root Sony Xperia E (C1505) - New Firmware 11.3.A.2.23 or Old Firmware

Downloads & Requirements :

(Make sure you download the complete .zip file as shown above)
Now that you have downloaded both of the above mentioned stuff  you can now move on to the procedure section.

PROCEDURE


1. Installing ADB Drivers :

  • On your Sony Xperia E go to Settings-> Developer options-> Check USB Debugging
  • Again go to Settings-> Security-> Check Unknown Sources. 
  • Now Turn off your Antivirus because it sometimes conflicts in between the process. You can activate it again after the rooting process is complete. 
  • Now connect your Xperia E to PC and open AdbDriverInstaller
  • Click on Install
  • This software automatically downloads all the drivers you need. Close the installer after the driver installation is done.
