though rooting ICS can be achieved on locked bootloaders where on GB you may need to unlock it !

I am not sure but if I member correct at least the phone had to be rooted.
Will you unlock via official Sony or test point method?
You also should check via service menu if the bootloader is unlockable.

Just one little note, 77 is baseband, 42 and 62 are not baseband numbers, those are build numbers (last 2 numbers of build number).

No need to be root-ed to unlock bootloader.

No need to downgrade to gb .62 for unlocking bl using S1 tool, you can use S1 tool on ICS .587 firmware also... And DRM keys are crap, if you want to use trackid, download it from play store, it will work without drm keys..

Umm...no dude....with e-root u cud directly root it and even if we choose the downgrade option there are 2 ways downgrading to .42/.58 rom and root it or just downgrade to a rootable kernel, for e.g. .562 kernel and then root.
Cheers,

I could not do to much with my Experia U locked bootloader on GB
my phone is unlocked officialy from operator Bouygues !! if i update the phone any risk of losing the unlocking of sim ??
No, your phone will remain SIM unlocked. And if you prefer gingerbread, you can have it rooted for locked bootloader. You have it here in general section a thread explaining how to do it.

To root GB locked bootloader, follow this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063029
Yes, you can flash a St25a firmware (.ftf), but yes, you MUST exclude baseband flashing. You have plenty of ST25i firmwares around, so why bother with an st25a .ftf??
