Important instructions
- The route to an easy rooting of the Sony Xperia S is opened by step number one. In it, you will see that you need to do as follows: place the Root Package, as soon as you’ve downloaded it, on the desktop of the computer. When you are ready with that, go to this file and extract what it holds inside to the same place as before.
- For step number two you will have to just go to Menu, then choose Settings. Once here, you must tap on Developer options then on USB debugging; a box should be there and all you need to do is tick it so that USB debugging is turned on. You can’t move on to the next operation if that option is not enabled. After this is completed, you will be asked to take the handset and the laptop and plug them to each other; the USB cord of the smartphone is the instrument that’s indicated for this.
