The Xperia Sola is a mid-range device that features a 3.7-inch touchscreen display, a dual-core 1GHz CPU with half a gig of RAM and a 5MP shooter. The device was released in May 2012 with Android 2.3 Gingerbread onboard but Sony recently updated the device to Android 4.0. This post will show you how to root that ICS firmware and use all those root-requiring apps that everybody seems to have. You could also later install a custom recovery and try out custom ROMs of your choice but rooting is the very first step to get there. So read on then to know how to root your Sony Xperia Sola.
