I had hidden it inside another thread, but figured it should be mentioned in the Q&A for all those that could use it.
For ICS (android 4.0+)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
For GB (android 2.3.7)
It will guide you step by step through the unlocking process and rooting the Xperia U
(same principles apply for P & S but no examples/kernels provided)
Credits (links)
Guide based on the information provided by DoomLord
The 1.564 kernel is made by DoomLord
The 3.184 kernel is made by KeiranFTW
More information about warranty: visit Sony Forum
For the noobs:
Root / Rooting = to lift the default protection of the Android OS and gives you access to all system files that are normally hidden from you
This enables extra functionality but also requires knowledge about the android system to know what is safe to do and what not.
- Simple root use: changing theme elements / new battery icons / individually controlling the LEDs
- Advanced root use: overclocking your CPU / adjusting the OS / making a custom ROM
Nice!!
Is Their Any Solution To Root Without Unlocking Bootloader . I Know Their is One in XPERIA U Development Thread but Its Links Are Not Valid ..and moreover its for Xperia U .564 firmware but I Want it For The .184 ?...
That one was fake.. Might be possible when ICS comes.. But am not sure
Sent from my ST25i
Thanks! It actually helped me root my XPERIA U!
Followed the guide, my U lost the ability to change colors when viewing the themes (cosmic flow) although when viewing images it still works fine. Also started getting some lag. Any way to somehow fix these?

This is a known bug on the Xperia U. However to fix it, all you have to do is install the Light1.1.apk from the following thread (Credits to straciam).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823418
PS: I have not tested this app but I speculate that this will be the solution based on the comments in that thread. I would recommend you to read the thread first. If this helped, do thank me and the developer of the app
@nixx-X1: I would like to request you to incorporate a re-locking guide for Xperia U. I would've done it myself but seems like your video tutorial actually makes things simpler.

Will try to do that when I get home next week thanks. I now have a new issue lol. Recently tried out supercharged kernel by vito, prob is that when I press the power button the screen somewhat flickers before fading to black. It goes fuzzy like in a tv but only quickly. Tried turning off and on my phone but its still there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

To Un-root, all you need to do is Flash the stock ROM FTF. There are 2 threads in the Xperia U Development thread that has all the information of Download links to the FTF's ICS and GB. Just have a look. Just a quick guided video would be helpful.
---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------
I am using the Supercharged Kernel too and I do not exactly know if it is a problem coz I believe it is the fade out effect. I never experienced any flicker of any sort. Could you please tell me what precisely is happening? BTW, what ROM are u using?
Thank's!

Its the fade out effect. Before I used the kernel the screen normally goes black, now the fade out effect has gray and white fuzzy things. I don't think I have tried to change my ROM yet.

Request senior members to help
Hi Guy's,
A similar thread was opened by a forum moderator in another forum so i have contacted Pilot and going to give it a try.
The aim is to help newbies/beginners/anybody by answering any questions/issues they have in this thread, they can ask what ever they want no matter what rom/kernel or anything else they are having difficulty with, a place where they feel no threat for asking such questions.
The thread is to be run by not me but all senior members who are willing to help, the aim is to clear the Dev threads of all the unnecessary questions that are becoming more frequent and making it harder and harder to follow rom development.
For those seeking help, always try and help yourself first, most things can be found here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678513
If you feel you still need help then fire away, hopefully somebody will have answers for you, please keep questions related to roms in develpopment not stock roms but will cover everything from adb to wlod's.
Please, if you have been helped in anyway by members do not forget to leave thanks.
As usual any new question threads started and not aimed here will be removed by the moderators so please lets keep our development forum clean.
Can i just add that a lot of questions are being asked that can be found in the sticky's, please read those first as most things are covered there.
Thanks guy's for you help.
good idea!
well lets start a little something off then..
1) is there a way to implement voltage control on startup without the need of an app? if so, how?
2) i cant seem to change boot animation. tried changing bootanimation in the normal system/media folder & data/local folder via xrecovery install custom zip file.. any ideas?
thank you!
Awesome idea mate!!
Now anyone can ask questions without creating a new thread or getting burnt!!
@topic: dunno why but my CPU spy seems not to be working, fc'ing all the time even after rebooted. I am on DooM's 3b kernel using J's ROM.

Very good idea, I also think this should be sticky.
But:
It should have a better thread name like:
Questions regarding roms FCs/Errors/Reboots/WLODs go HERE!
Or something that could let extremely clear that if they want to ask something that are not directly a development(but regarding it) should go in here.
Another but, rsrsrs:
The thread should remain only about roms that are developed in here, anything regarding original SE rom, unless tweaked and posted in this area should go to Q&A.
You deserve a thanks!

Thanks for the support buddy and the thanks.
I did wonder about the name, maybe something clearer is needed, will see how it goes but thanks for the advice.
Your other point is valid but it would be better if we do not put restrictions on what can be asked in the op as it defeats the whole idea of the thread.
I think that you should also have a set layout for each problem that way it's easier for people to understand what's going on and it's also easier for other people with the same problem to search
Just a thought

No, I mean, no restrictions at all should be done when they question, it should be more like advises, something like:
inside the thread > First post:
You can ask/question anything in here but keep in mind this is guided for ROM developed in xda not for stock roms.
Questions regarding stock rom may be question on Q&A if not already answer that, if you have doubts regarding the best place you can try here no problems with that.
The only request for the thread should be that the questions must be related some how to errors/failures/wlods after using some apps or tweak, requests, doubts regarding new stuff.
As stock doubt like:
Does x10 flash led works good? should i buy a x10? rsrsrsrs
With time a FAQ can be added to the first post to keep the thread clean and be even more helpful to newbies.

If you made your own Bootanim make sure the zip is uncompressed (ie the files were added with "store" as the compresion other wise it will no worky
then just like @acerulz said adb push or copy it over the excisting one @ system/media/

Hi Buddy,
As your issues you are saying with the games are to do with stock then i do not think anybody here can help you, ask in the Q&A forum see if anybody is having the same problem.
With the wifi, all the roms i know of are fully working, read through some threads and see which rom you would like, it is your personal choice but which ever one you choose there will always be updates to iron out any problems if there are any.
Mac address change
I have a question/request:
How do we change Mac address?
That it is possible I'm sure it is, the problem is that the maximum I could do was to change it for some time(until the adapter was turned off and on again.
I need this to be able to use it on my job as I have only the right to have one mac address.
Being able to use communicator at the office would be very nice, as for now i have to carry the laptop around.
Sometime ago I've tried to question this in Q&A but got no good answer/no help
[Q] X10 Mac Address Change/Spoof How to?
In there I was guided to check this:
Changing(spoofing) MAC address
If someone could help me on this?
In my opinion this would be something that could even become a new option in all roms if the Devs that have knowledge to make it happen like it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
I'm new to modifying Android's roms and here is my problem.. I bought a used SE x10 which has 2.1 firmware.. I heard about 2.3.3 official SE update and went to there website, backed up my data, opened my PC companion to update but it surprised me to keep telling me that my phone is "already up to date"!!
I asked about that and someone told me if the guy who used the phone before me did install a custom rom to my phone before, official ways to update my phone wont work..
so please help and advise me.. either by giving me a solution to that, or to give me a link where i can find answers for my questions..
thank you in advance for your support..
my device info found at "about phone":
Model number: X10a
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband ver.: 2.1.54
Kernel ver.: 2.6.29
Build number: 2.1.A.0.435

note: although this is not built from AT&T i717, it can be used on i717 as well as reported by users for the gingerbread version. however, if u encounter any problems, feel free to contact me by leaving a reply here, or adding a comment in my blog at Galaxy Note Sony Bravia Engine ICS mod - http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2012/05/galaxy-note-sony-bravia-engine-ics-mod.html
for developers and rom makers:
- pls kindly let me know or put my name in your post if you put this mod into your roms so that i know who is using it. this is because experiences in the sgs2 one tell me users will only ask for help in your thread and they even dont know which gallery they r using, since most of the roms just put the words "bravia engine" or "new gallery" and that's all. i cannot, and in fact impossible, to read every post in every thread to help them to solve the problems. what i want is to consolidate the questions and problems so that they can be identified easily, and to help ppl to solve the problems.
more, pls add a link either to this post, or the original howto at http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2012/01/sgs2-gallery-sony-bravia-engine-demo.html for users reference
thank you
a few notes for users:
- ALWAYS DO A BACKUP FIRST!!
- pls, pls forget anything u've seen before about the bravia engine and forget about the prop files. there is NO NEED to modify any file yourself to make it works
- if u wanna use the bravia engine to render/redraw ur wallpaper, u need to pick the wallpaper again in my modded gallery since the existing wallpaper is cached/stored and the system will not re-generate the wallpaper each time the phone boots up
- all steps in the installation guide for sgs2 should be the same for sgn and so far i couldnt find any difference between them
- the only difference i observed is about the performance. in sgs2, the image will be rendered almost instantly (on my modded sgs2 at least, i dono how it performs in stock rom). but on this sgn (not tuned yet), the image will be rendered piece by piece from the bottom right to the top left and u can see that visually

I tried to flash it with the zip but it doesn't install the files so I moved them manually with root explorer.

u welcome, it's just a link and no big deal
but i am interested in the problems u encountered. what do u mean by 'it doesnt install the files'? do u mean it failed to install in the recovery or what? and since u know how to play with root explorer, u can copy the files manually to the target locations as stated in the howto
one more thing, if it installed but FC, it's probably due to the conflicts between this mod and the previous gallery. so remove/rename/move the old gallery data will do if u can to avoid lossing other data, else do a wipe
feel free to tell me if u have any problems
I installed all the files fine with root explorer. The zip might not be written for our note.
No problems. No force closes. NO BRICKING! Haha
I just don't really use the stock gallery and it is hard to see a difference for me.
I was hoping this would give a system wide improvement.

If this is a real product and not a ploy to get advert clicks and traffic to your website, then best of luck to you with the project. It looked interesting. Sorry I can't check it out.
Experimentation and study
new procedures for Rooting
Sony and Sony Tablet Terminal Phone with ICS
Procedure # 1 →
a - download the file (all)
b - rename the file to update.zip 01 or 02 before inserting them in the root SDcard →
c - go into recovery mode (power + volume) and select System Update from SD CARD
d - select the pack just copied and renamed
and - recovery time from temporary select the pack 03 (does not need to be renamed)
f - if everything is ok now when you restart you'll have root
Code:
NB: two packs were included, because in theory if one does not work the other
I recommend that you first use the 01 because that's what should be "eaten" without problems.
In theory only side effects of this procedure should be the lack of flash pack.
Code:
DOWNLOAD PACK CLAIMS OF CONSCIENCE EVER TAKEN A TEST OF EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL.
WHAT DO YOU DO ONLY AND SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
The folder in mediafire is empty.
Yer there's nout in the folder.
attached files.
it will not work.
signature is not correct - even not the proper type - it has to be signed for whole-file.
what is the source of the files? you have created them?
what version of cwm recov is included? is it correct for S?
or some 'other-device' one?
I was getting excited then
This procedure for all devices sony and samsung. Samsung also works on the tablet now goes head to head Sony Tablet if someone tells me where to go or not. Could go. It does not install the CWM but does only the Root
Has anyone tested this yet?
anybody successed?

Before you post sth, CHECK if it works. What if it was dangerous and bricks the device???
Have you considered this?
Next time: think about the possible consequences, not post something you don't even know how/if it works, please.
Mods, remove this trash, please.

Always.
Yes, the idea is what counts.
Since when has it been the standard to post un-checked un-verified and non working files here?
Dangerous is what it is. Lucky this is a sony with barely any user base, if this was posted on the galaxy forums there would be hundreds of possibly messed up phones out there...
I have a sony Tablet S but I can not test this procedure because they are not home. I'm off to work and I will have to stay for a few months so if anyone of good will could test this method and send the results would be happy. @ Condi if the compilation and wrong could you fill it in right way so as to have the root?
@ Condi.Is the guy maybe on the right track ?.If he is maybe you could help him ?
i have a sony tablet s with stock ics rom
tomorrow i'll come back home and try it let's hope it works

You can install keyboards from play store (no root needed), although I'm pretty sure you will soon realize that integrated keyboard is actually very good.
Before you start using these attached zip files that you are supposed to 'flash with recovery', I suggest you to google every one of those words that you just said you don't know what they mean, and read a little about it.
Also if you search this forum, you will find guides on everything that you asked for in your post.

Oh! Damn! I didn't see he is still a beginner, sorry i promise to read better next time, but Amy96 just look at the forums and you will be root and everything you need to let your device as you want it. Anything you could need just ask.

First flash the ROM 2.3.7
Then close your bootloader
Then you flash ICS ROM
Your problem will be solved
For temporary relief of the disaster, along with the power button, hold down the volume a few seconds to reboot the phone vibrates and makes
Bin4ry rooting method works flawlessly!
Although I think it would be nice to mention that this code is not made by you, but other guy in this forum.

I believe that your intentions are good but getting credit for someone else work is just wrong.:silly:
You should probably request Bin4ry's permission before creating this thread...
Strange, I tried the v13 of bin4ry and my screen goes black! Everything wasn't rendered correctly and I had to do a factory reset to correct everything again.
