I don't see much about xperia u, and also any for unlocking Bootloader. Is there any safe way I mean without losing drm, non sony way?

Yeah, I know, right?
That thread about unlocking the bootloader (was the top of this section actually) couldn't actually be about unlocking the bootloader and alternate methods...
didn't even need to search...

pssst...also..this isn't the Q&A section. Bad senior member, bad.

Found this tool in the Xperia mini forums!
looks really handy and can do a lot of things like Unlock bootloader, Root, CWM and modify kernel even for .62
and supports Xperia neo V (MT11i) too
THIS TOOL USES OFFICIAL METHOD TO UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
Check this thread : HERE
A small note, this is uses the official unlock so is no good if allowed status is no.
Or if you don't want Sony to know

Hi, my xperia s is coming in tomorrow and im really excited. I know I should check forum first but im on my mobile and it is hard to do it. But is there a root method for xperia s without unlocking bootloader? Like similar to zergling rush for arc ?
Thank you

U have to unlock the bootloader to use flash, then you can relock it again after the firmware+stock ROM installation.. XDA has a thread based on it. Be sure to check it out =)~

Yes bro he's right...
Only with ICS this cam be possible..
And the way things are looking and the latest which I read in Sony forum a guy frm UK asked for the date of update of ICS of Sola. On Sony Facebook page and he got an answer which was heartbreaking and disappointing "Q4 was the ans frm Sony ie; by the year end!!! "

1) there is a relocking bootloader. Tft file which relocks your bootloader only { DRM KEYS WONT RETURN}which will help you to bypass Sonys altered software error while updating it through SEUS or PC Companion n you can update your device without any problem to latest firmware....
2) No performance change is noticed rather the performance wil increase if you using custom roms...
3)it works only for Xperia 2011 device

Hi for now, there are no known ways of rooting the locked Sola bootloader.
There are successful methods for this on ICS but not gingerbread, for now. I have tried so many.
Thanks for replies. Thread moved to the Q & A.
so we w8 ICS or FXP its like a race! xD
I got tired of waiting and crazy rumours so I did it, unlocked myself. I wanted root that much. Plus, I read B4anry explain in a comment exactly how Sony treats locked/unlocked bootloader, depending on what you've done, and I think I'm safe. He knows his stuff obviously!
I rooted my Neo some time ago, but I'm not sure whether it has S-OFF. How can I check? Thanks.
I had my Neo in original GB. I rooted it using this Flashtool procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709880. And the phone is with ICS now.
May I unlock bootloader now? And how?

These are 2 methods to unlock Bootloader
1. testpoint - I used that and it's really simple
2. Officialy
I prefer testpoint so here u are --> http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
I would say go for official one.. because it is easy and anything official is great

Yess bro you are right.. but See basically once you unlock your bootloader and even if u again lock it, its in re-locked state and not locked state.. whatever it is.. once u unlock the bootloader you void your warrenty anyways.. so even if we lose DRM whats the big deal?
Because if that was the case then at first place we would not root the phone or unlock the bootloader.. we know what we have to face after doing it

No not always.. there are some roms wich u cannot flash having a locked bootloader.. but there are some.. here is the link for one..

lost DRM is not important !
You can repair your phone using sus whenever you want to by just relocking bl !

It's not same.
lack of DRM certificate can easily be seen/spotted in service center, just by connecting phone to one program, which is not the case with "re-locked" or "un-patched" phone whose BL has been unlocked unofficialy via s1tool.

Well, if you flash fw for same region then there is no way to know that phone has been flashed with flashtool.
And if "you" are smart enough you will make backup ftf before you star messing with your phone.
Or smart enough to know how to trick SEUS or PCC to flash different fw, by editing build.prop.
Just FYI, my BL was unofficially unlocked, flashed so many times (though before service center I flashed it with correct region) and they replaced my motherboard with no problems.

So who ever put DRM in the first place was stupid, right?
That's your opinion, but you can't say it's not important.
