as stated unlocking does break 4g but if you take the most recent photon update then the boot loader is locked for good from what i've read

Hey Guys...
I used to have x8i, x10i, Neo, and now I'm gonna buy an Xperia U.
But I can't figure out something, since there is a little progress on this device in XDA.
The simple question is this: If I buy this little honey, Can I root it ANYway?
I mean either with locked BL or unlocked BL.
And, Is latest version, .184, rootable?
Actually, I want to know whether it is possible to root this device or not, and if yes, WHICH VERSION...
It would be greatly appreciated if you provide me the link..
Thanks in Advance...

Hey...
I want to know if there is anyway to unlock sim, or if someone is working on. If can unlock sim, BT will be unlockable, right?
Thenks.
Unlocking the SIM card and Unlocking the bootloader are totally independent and different.
Unlocking the SIM is not a way or a "cause" for unlocking bootloader.
Bootloader unlocking is a different story, especially in the case that it's official. through Sony Mobile website...
I have blocked BT. I can use sony mobile method...
Anyone Home?!!!!
Any Answer?!!!!
There is a WIP exploit. Needs a few final tests, but we're getting there.

first, tnx for your and ohter devs' hardwork.
then, there rises a question, how much chance do we have to get this little phone rooted? and then, who is the main dev for this? how much time do you estimate we need to get it done?

It is working, but I'm not yet sure if it's failsafe. Many things are the same as the XPS exploit and some work was done by Pokoby but I can't find his thread now. Basically it's a community effort.

How is possible to be failsafe,it does not touch trim and bootloader area right?

It should not cause any damage, but something in there is not working every time, so you sometimes need multiple tries to get zergrush to work.

i kinda have an idea of what it is... is it a method kinda like the Tablet S? if yes, it is normal that it fails the rooting sometimes...

Not sure, it's mostly the same thing that was used for XPS.
hum, by XPS you mean Xperia S right? gotta read a bit how it is.
Pokoboy was just kidding, believe me! I read that thread all over, and nothing...
I hope there will be solution for root problem...
BTW, can you provide us with the root tool you are talking about? we will give it a shot, and we don't expect it to work 100%...
this device is very hard to root in locked bootloader because sony fixed the exploit., and another thing this phone is using different microprocessor(NovaThor), not a common Qualcomm SoC.

Even if he was (though I'm pretty sure he wasn't), he pointed me in the right direction. I'm the only person working on it, and I'm on vacation so I am NOT working on it right now.
I'll have a test version in a couple weeks.

I can confirm I received an email from "[email protected] via surveymonkey.com" about participating in the test. If it is a scam they now have my IMEI and probably marked me for death by an elite zombie alien task force. So I am hoping it is for real
It's most likely just a GB update. I wouldn't get hopes up for ICS or JB. I'm interested to see what it will do (if anything) for the bootloaders.

Yeah it doesnt hurt.. BUT. After 9 months of ICS update promises, only to get slapped in the face. With a public statement of only releasing maintenance updates.. I don't know how much there is to hope for. Because if they release ICS or JB to the Atrix, they'll have to do it for the Photon and Electrify as well.

Hi! I found this now on reddit, there is LG G2 on the list, can we use it?!
It's the documentation by @djrbliss (Dan Rosenberg, XDA Recognized Developer)
http://imgur.com/TXKDpOI
Reddit link:
http://pl.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2csyiq/looks_like_many_android_phones_are_getting_a/
Please check it guys, but if it's not useful, then sorry.
@dorimanx @dr87 @savoca @Cloudyfa @OptimusRs @RenderBroken @Amperific @JackpotClavin (just wanted to show it to someone who is experienced and who would have a while, it's not like i just mentioned everyone here)
EDIT: https://www.blackhat.com/us-14/briefings.html#reflections-on-trusting-trustzone
The talk will conclude with a discussion of the ramifications of this vulnerability and others like it, including a live demonstration of using it to permanently unlock the bootloader of a major Android phone.

Dan performed a permanent boot loader unlock of the Moto X live. We shall see how this pans out to other devices in the coming weeks.

Well, seems like the G2 may be a hot phone for developers soon The phone still has the beast specs, so.
Btw, I read that S5 and M8 are patched, as we know they have Snap801, so this exploit is hardware related? If yes, then LG couldn't even relock it, i suppose, lol
Thanks @reas0n for sharing this with us. The imgur link you shared, i compared it first with the loki script but it didnt contained anythin about qsee i thought and no similair lines. If @dr87 has the way to permanently unlock the gs4 then it would be also maybe possible for the g2 like said in the imgur link you gave. Seems trustable that link. But i bet dr87 is having now some kind of top secret area 51 project to unlock the lg bootloader.
Thanks again reas0n continue your search you`re doing great.
I could also be wrong and it maybe contained in the loki script but i didnt saw it since i`m watching from my tab now.
Thanks, I want to do as much as I can for the G2 community.
Edited the thread, lol, it would be epic if he used our lovely G2 as unlocking example We just have to wait now.
I saw now that he will present at blackhat so pretty big. First i came on an website from azimuth security about galaxy s4 loki etc i just found out on that link from you that dr87 works/ is part of azimuth security so i bet he will bypass and unlock it
The security doctor will fix ill locked devices.
Maybe the device wil get unlocked before lg provides an official unlock method. Is it about me or is LG doing the same as samsung? Same with bootloader, roundicons in notification bar etc, i wonder how LG will become.
Update:
Dan performed a permanent boot loader unlock of the Moto X live. We shall see how this pans out to other devices in the coming weeks.

still nothing for xt830c?
I would love to see this version of the phone opened up too!!!
I converted to ART and am seeing real storage problems...I do not have that many apps installed.
Include me on this list, I'd really like root for this device.
Mee tooo
Someone Get These Pricks!!!
I figured why not give calling em a shot. It was a thousand questions and then redirected to their security department then several more questions resulting in them saying "I'm sorry sir we do not even have a code to provide you and we do not allow or support device unlocking or rooting." I was like.. Byatch! What a mess! I should have researched this before buying... I looked it up, saw moto e was rootable and looked no further. Sucked in by the deal. Now I can't even return it. I've had it too long. I'm sure no one is even attempting it anymore. Think I might craigslist it for 40 and get me one to have a little fun with. Oh and not only that Tracfone has a site and under their name it says something like, when you have our phones you have the power. Ha! Straight talk just lost a long time customer. And this phone is just bloated out to the max with Google and Motorola CRAP! If someone out there in this mod world have this phone... Get it!!! Hit it hard! We can use this as a lab rat! I'm sure no one will buy it! Lol

So here's what I would believe, the CDMA version on straight talk is a cdma-v phone.. I assume that means its a Verizon phone, if I had a back up phone I'd be willing to try to root this one using the Verizon one click root app... Does anyone have any thoughts?
I would be willing to try it. Tried searching for it but couldnt find it. If you have link to the Verizon 1 click root app Ill try it asap. I just bought it and have a 30 day store warranty. I did try the LG Stump root 1.2 and did not work.

I will try it, I dont mind messing with my device, I can probably look at the apk as well and find the exploit to see what it is.
Look forward to hearing how it goes. Need this XT830C rooted. Never had a non rooted phone. What a big difference it makes and not for the good.

Is this the Version One Click root you were looking for? This is the updated version.
I found it via this article. Chrome detected the Verizon apk as a virus, but that's probably a false positive. The apk does come from XDA.
Blah blah blah, if you install that, I'm not responsible for nuclear war or bricked phones.
I'd try it tonight, but I need to be up for class/work tomorrow.
I don't have much to lose, although I do love this phone. Right now I use it as a server with VIM via Terminal IDE or as a web server with KSWEB. Although I recently converted an old 1.6GHz N270 Atom netbook to do the same thing, it's much louder and hotter, but way more powerful.
I'm just pissed what StraightTalk did to this phone. It's absolutely amazing, but those bastards had to ruin it.
