Hey people on XDA,
I recently bought a Xperia L and wanted to remove a few apps so i thought about rooting this device! I searched on many forums for a rooting kit but no success! But things have changed ;)

Finally i found this thread:- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2228613 [Download In Description]
This was originally for Motorola devices but it has been tested on various other device including Asus Transformer and my Xperia L! :p

My Device:-
Model No. :- C2104
Android :- 4.1.2

Well, its a matter of hit and try..!! You could try it and see if it works. I don't think that the rooting script is chipset specific. But it maybe that as well. We don't get Qmobile here in India, so don't know the specifics. It might work or it might fail. At most the phone won't and you will be stuck on bootscreen. You can get that fixed at the service centre if its in warranty (don't tell them you tried rooting.)

Do one thing and see if su is there. If it is then remove it along with root (there is and option in settings of su) and then re-root it. While in the the process of rooting, don't touch anything on your phone or pc. And I hope this time you are able to root it! :D
Also confirm if it works and what device you used.

First check with root checker and ota voodoo to see if there is any tick in the boxes. If not try to install SU and see it it works out.
If not then,
1. Download busybox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox (Only the app and not busybox)
2. Root with motochopper
3. If exploit dosen't show any error, INSTALL busybox from the app and then check SU :D

I tested both the exploits on Xperia SP. Gave me an error in the explot a few times but worked out though. It also gave me an error that it is not rooted even after i got no error in the exploit. Just had to install busybox and voila it worked :D

Actually, it's just the drivers which should be installed. In Win7, they are automatically installed but they take some time as they are downloaded and installed. So that's why the rooting is stuck at that point as the drivers are still being installed in the background.

    If you want to root your phone, yes, you need to root it again, flashing back with original .ftf will delete root rights
