[Xperia U] Can We Root Xperia U ANYWAY? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

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.

do we need? or how to unlock bootloader

as a non-developer me, i couldn't think why i need it. Not until there's a developer who can do something great with the unlocked bootloader. and there's even a slightest chances to get the phone bricked. as for the step to unlock it, seems quite difficult too. is there any easiest way to understand?

i actually not mind of waiting a while more. since i just have my x10 7 months ago ( well count as long though ) but quite satisfied already with custom rom even without bootloader unlocked.

If you have a sim-lock, you cannot use other sim cards from other couriers except for the courier you have a contract for.

then i don't think i have the sim-lock thing. i bought my phone straight with cash without contract or anything and bought an extra sim card for it.
Don't mean to hijack this thread, but it has been a little while since I've been on xda for the x10...
I see that the boot loader has been fully unlocked but what is the advantage over the previous kernel bypass method?
I understand we can now make a real brick... don't think that is an advantage...
Are kernels on an unlocked phone more stable than before, or does this have bigger implications than just the kernel?

Will Motorola's Official Bootloader Unlocking Tool for Photon allow working 4G?

Since the Unlocking Tool is from Motorola, will it allow the Photon Bootloader to be unlocked without disabling 4G/WiMax on custom ROMs that require an unlocked bootloader?

No. Doesn't currently work with photon. This can easily be found out by looking at the supported devices.

It's not on the unlockable device list, but it may be in the near future.
We can sit around and wait for Motorola to do it. Or we could all sign an online petition and show them how big the community is, and how much business they'll loose if they don't unlock bootloaders!

+1! Maybe Sony is fixing other bugs that were'nt fixed on the initial release of the updates. We're lucky were going to have a better update than the first phones to receive them. HOPEFULLY!..

Indeed, there is no indication that the 587 update for mini pro contains the same number of fixes as for the other phones.
However, there is no indication it will contain more fixes/less bugs either
Just wait and see, in the meantime, play with some nice roms out here with locked bootloader. You can easily update once 587 comes out...

I've been trying custom ROMs because stock just didn't cut it anymore for me. If Sony gives us a broken update after waiting for this long, this will be my last Xperia phone.

I really hope they improve the kernel too, im sick of this android OS comsuming 3/4 of your battery, and having to restart your phone after each charge, its ridiculous, i dont want to unlock my bootloader yet, but if they doesn't fix this, i'll have to try unlocking and flashing some kernels, by the way, custom roms are really good for this device, they improve wht stock lacks, and the option to try them with locked bootloeader is awesome

I know that there isnt kernel source, and that sucks. But I really am hoping that any other mods can work with it.

For most things root isn't really needed anymore. But to take full advantage of the capabilities of your phone. Then yeah. Rooting is still pretty viable.

"Safely root your Galaxy S9 Plus SM G965U"
https://www.search4roots.com/how-to-easily-root-samsung-galaxy-s9-plus-sm-g965u-android-oreo/
I have to question the legitimacy of said link within regards to the G965U/G965U1
No XDA developer has found the holy grail that let them root the phone, package it into an easy to use interface and released it to the public. Even if you exclude the easy to use interface and went with ADB or other related commands If the G965U was indeed rootable there would have been something on the forum here, some tutorial and the necessary downloads.
Root Possible?? Maybe
Even Though i think the method stated above is B.S, There has been a new release that may make it possible to root the Snapdragon SM-G965U Variant

If you have a source to back up the claim post the link please.
Last I read root wasn't possible per the developers.. Posting something like that claiming "maybe" otherwise with nothing that can validate your claim makes it unbelievable (or very hard to believe).
IMHO I would rather not hear "maybe" or "might" news as I would rather just wait for "we found a way and we are working on getting it ready". If news is gonna be posted just let a developer do it
The "might" and "maybe" tidbits don't mean much and don't necessarily end with fruitful results.. It does not serve much good to get people's hopes up if there is nothing that will actually become of a "maybe".
