3. Enable USB debugging from Settings > Developer Options.

4. Enable Unknown sources from Settings > Security

5. [Optional] Increase screen timeout to 10 minutes

6. Connect USB Cable to phone , then connect it to your Computer. On your phone Skip the PC Companion Companion prompt (if it appears), see screenshot below.

7. Now go to the Folder where you extracted the downloaded file from Step 2, and execute "runme_win.bat" (Windows User)

Note :- This toolkit works on Windows , Linux as well as MAC , Linux users Run "runme_linux.sh" and MAC users Run "runme_mac.sh".

8. Read and Follow the instructions on the screen!

yes! worked for me TOO!
BUT...
I had to install ADB drivers first (this was simple, because I found them in the "files"-folder of the extracted DOoMLoRD-folder: ADB.exe) this should be done between your steps 6 and 7

thank you very much.

Waledac

12 August 2013 at 17:53 delete

When you install Sony PC Companion , ADB Drivers are automatically installed , just connect with USB Debugging Mode on ,see step 3, also when you are rooting your device make sure you exit Sony PC Companion and any other related program. And the folder "files" in the zip is related to rooting , you don't have to do anything with that , if you want to root , just Open runme_win.bat

Waledac

12 August 2013 at 17:54 delete

The download link is working fine , try with different browser.

Waledac

18 August 2013 at 14:43 delete

Follow all the steps properly it will work , also make sure adb drivers are installed (If u install Sony PC Companion and connect ur phone with usb debugging on ,adb drivers are automatically installed) also when before executing runme_win.bat , make sure u exit all other adb related program like Sony PC Comapnion , Flashtool ,etc.

Followed all instructions as mentioned...
Nothing happened...got this error message

Help me please...

Waledac

20 August 2013 at 11:22 delete

Just connect your phone , exit PC Companion , Flashtool , etc. and then execute runme_win.bat, disconnect any other devices if u have connected to ur pc via wifi or by using any other connectivity.

Unknown

20 August 2013 at 12:18 delete

it worked smoothly,....Thanks dude,....i pray God to bless you.
THINGS TO NOTE(in addition to what you already know)..
1. Make sure tick the install pc companion(so u can skip it later) on ur phone
2. before u run the "runme_win.bat" go to files and run adb and superuser.apk
3.then run.......smoothly..........should happen within seconds, wait for ur fone to restart......ok.

Unknown

20 August 2013 at 12:20 delete

2.
pls the superuser.apk should be copied to the memory card and installed on the fone........... thanks.

I was initially stuck on the "waiting for device stage" and have PC companion installed and I installed the ABD drivers included in the files folder. However, I was able to overcome this by disabling my mobile's antivirus. After that I got "The system cannot find the path specified. ---Please wait the device is now rebooting. The system cannot find the path specified. ALL DONE!. Press any key to continuue...".Well my phone did not actually reboot and my phone doesn't seem to be rooted, I've checked with basic root checker as well ans supersu doesn't detect any script.

Waledac

21 May 2014 at 20:40 delete

When ADB Drivers are not installed, you get such errors.
Left Click on My Computer and Click on Manage , go to Device Manager and check whether ur phone is listed there , like the below screenshot :
