4) If by chance it fails for the first time, give it another go. it won't harm your phone in any way. If you still face problem,
- Go to your C:/ Drive / User/Username/AppData/Roaming/ folder and delete the eRoot folder.
- If it says cannot be deleted then open up task manager on your PC and kill bec.exe . Then delete eroot folder.
- Still not working ? used the archived method to root 2011 Xperia here below the animated Xperia picture.
