Hi guys, I have Xperia sola upgraded to ICS...I would to gain root permissions, but my smartphone is in warranty. I read somewhere that is possible to gain root permission on Xperia sola with ICS without unlocking the boot loader (unlocking the bootloader I would lose my warranty, right?) so I would root permission without lose my warranty. I found a procedure that explain how to do this (but for the Xperia U), the procedure is this:

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

You need to lock your bootloader then go to Sony Service Center.

My bootloader is already locked,i want to unlock it but i get stuck at 13th step...will they have my bootloader unlocked?(will they unlock the bootloader for me/)
I don't think so as unblocked bootloader voids the warranty.
It's a procedure that you have to make alone.

hi guys... as i was thinking to unlock the bootloader of my XGO, I wanted to know that are there any disadvantages of doing it?
like i read somewhere that after unlocking BL the bravia engine doesnt works... so is it true or just myth? also if there any known downsides of unlocking the BL then plz tell me...
And 1 more thing i wanted to ask that as im using POWER JB rom right now, so do i need to be on stock rom to unlock the BL or can i continue with the power jb rom ?
thanks in adv.

1) The disadvantages are that you will loose bravia engine and you will void your warranty. The only reason you should unlock your bootloader is for installing custom kernels.
You can relock your bootloader via flashtool.This way you will have your warrranty back but you will not get back bravia engine as far as i know because you will loose DRM keys.
2) The rom you are using if for all bootloaders. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to boot system
3) You can unlock your bootloader even if you are on a custom rom but i suggest you to take a backup and install the stock firmware.
4) My opinion is that if you don't want to install custom kernels, cm10 or cm9.1, just leave the device as it is now mate.
5) Don't mess with things that you don't know because you may regret. Unlock bootloader only if you want to install the custom kernel or cm9.1 or cm10.
6) Here you will find a tutorial on how to unlock your bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
Should work on xperia go also.
Didn't make a separate thread as I got the same doubts.
I am using Xperia sola , rooted with stock ICS.
I want to eventually use a stable JB ROM.
I am not worried about losing warranty.
I want to know about the DRM keys.
Is there a way to backup or save "DRM keys"?
And then restore them when I want to relock bootloader?
