[QUOTE="SifJar, post: 4406335, member: 171891"] The Play (and other Xperia devices) are a bit annoying in that they don't have a recovery partition. This means you can either run recovery via the method you mentioned above (fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img), or you can install a custom kernel with a built in recovery. This second option is the newer one, which is usually recommended. I can't get links right now, but I should get a chance to do so tomorrow if no one else has by then. Once you're in recovery, you can "flash" a zip file, which on Android basically means extracting the zip and copying certain files from it to your phone (this is done automatically by the recovery), and in this case will copy the files needed for root. Then your phone is "rooted". EDIT: note that for fastboot to detect your phone, your phone must be in "fastboot mode". Generally this requires holding some button combo while turning on the phone. If you're not doing that, that'd be why fast is giving the "waiting for device" message [/QUOTE]

I've never used a disposable, seems like a waste. kinda cool idea tho. It would be nice to have vape built in to a cell phone even. "The iVape"
