Fellow XDA members,
I have rooted a few android phones before with no problems what so ever but I have just purchased an Sony Xperia U and for the love of god it won't root. I upgraded it straight away to Sony's official ICS release and unlocked my bootloader with no problems but when I try to root the phone using all the methods I can find it fails?
Can anyone help?
It just fails on restart of the phone?

you will have root but as for custom roms you will be able to install stock based roms easily.........
Can you please tell me a step by step to get a custom Rom then with full root permissions and a custom recovery installed for Rom changing and backups?
Your help is much appreciated.

If you are done with your rooting following the link @[email protected] gave you, then install CWM Recovery which can be found by searching the forum, after installation is finished just get the custom rom you want and CWM to flash it.
custom roms can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1728
get the one you think is best for you, each dev has already provided instructions on how to flash the roms in their posts.
hope i helped, good luck!

Hey all!
Sorry for this thread, I guess there are a lot of those, WHICH I SEARCHED OVER, but most did not have my issue really.
What I did:
I had Wolf Rom v4 working perfectly.
Wanted to get MIUI
Did a backup and full wife and the caches
Flashed in xrecovery the MIUI Prime 003
Now my phone is stuck on the SE logo and doesnt go any further.
I guess I have this because I didnt flash the kernels that come with the rom.
I tried to flash the kernel in flashtool but i get this:

I dunno how to repair using the pc companion. If someone could help with step by step that be great.
Can anyone help plz?
P.S.: Back to searching for me until someone can help me out.

Hey, I am glad to help if I can remember how I did it lol.
I think that's how I've fixed this:
1) Downloaded the stock rom for my region from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
2) Fully wiped my phone and flashed with the flash tool (if you don't have the flashtool, get it here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/)
3) Made sure it boots and works
4) Rooted the phone with the flashtool
5) Made sure it works
6) Followed this guide to unlock the bootloader (it has the downgrading and upgrading that needs to be done too): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
7) Flashed customer kernels and custom rom
8) Made sure all works and it did!
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need other assistance.

Since I lack 10 posts I'll have to post here.
My problem is that I tried to root a X10 2.33FW and .71kernel with flashtools.
Downgraded just like the guides said and everything went fine but when it comes to rooting I get stuck like this.

Which version of Flashtool do you use?
0.5.3.0 is my flash tools version.
I know it obvious thing to say did u set USB debug and allow non-market sources on? If so maybe send a pm to androxyde he'll be able to help u .

Yes, thats the method I used. Kinda guessing I did something wrong? :/
Yeah
You don't need to downgrade, you just need it if you want to unlock your Bootloader. Try to upgrade the Kernel and then try again.
Yeah m8 u dont need to downgrade kernel now to root (zergrush exploit works on gingerbread now whereas a few months ago we had to use azuzu root method). First thing to try would be flash the kernel upgrade & see if it boots (hope it boots but i cant guarantee that). If it doesnt boot up then u need to go grab this:
http://www.multiupload.com/564T6TLUD8.
This is global generic firmware for x10i if you flash this with flashtool it will take u back to stock (u will lose apps & data unfortunately if u dont have backup) when u do this boot up, turn on USB debug & allow non-market apps and then click root button. U dont need to downgrade kernel anymore thats why it failed pal. If u need any more help/ cant get it working pls feel free to pm me & ill explain it in bit more detail (sorry had few beers tonight)
Thanks guys, gonna try that and see what happens. I appreaciate the help!
EDIT- No luck with the kernal upgrade. Grabbing that multiupload and hoping I'll have more luck with that.
No probs pal anytime.
Before I destroy the phone again. Just got it working with upgrade thing.
What guides are the ones still working? The X10 forum is kinda confusing me.

Hey mate I didn't know this for a while but unless u unlock your bootloader u can't brick your device you can always get back to normal using seus or pc companion. If they fail use flashtool to flash what I posted earlier and that will make ur phone like when u first bought it from shop. (also buddy click root button and you should be rooted no problem now u got correct fw)

It's rooted and everything now, jus waiting for rom to download.
So... Got everything ready but can't get xRecovery to work. Can't find any guides either. I do need to install busybox and then xRecovery, right?
Tried installing bot 0.3 and CWM 5.x.x.x with flashtools now.
0.3 doesn't work at all and CWM doesn't let me flash new ROMs. Never been so frustrated in all my life.
Install the latest flashtool, for root and xrecovery. That it.

No You will Not have any Problems Flashing, However INterupting the Process Can SoftBrick the Device. But its fixable and for free.
flashing ftf firmware via Flashtool is safe for all phones, so don't worry.

if i understand it properly, it means when i use use this firmware.. i can flash any ROM despite that ROM requirements is .58 or .62?
I've just installed this on my R800at, its working fine, thank you
using this one right now. but do you mind telling what's in it? have used for a time the .58 Hong Kong version. but this one with a fresh install I could feel its a lot faster without any tweak or script. I can see the /dev/block/ is fully loaded.
thumps up. really
for now good battery times but again. was calibrated.
games run smoothly.

In this ftf file:
baseband(adsp.sin, amss.sin, amss_fs.sin, fota0.sin, fota1.sin, simlock.ta) and kernel(kernel.sin) are from r800i .62 generic firmware.
system.sin is from r800i .58 hongkong firmware.
cache.sin, loader.sin, userdata.sin is from lt18i firmware.
This is going to sound really dumb.. but after I flashed this, I can no longer root. SuperOneClick no longer works.

Thank you. I have tried that though, and it just stops at step 2. This is what I get:
Killing ADB server... KillServer 1.06s
Starting ADB server... StarServer 4.15s
Also on the side it says: *daemon not running. Starting it now on port 5037*
* daemon started successfully*
Then nothing. If I click ROOT again, it just redoes this. I shall keep trying though.
Edit: Used Unlock Root program and it did the job. Thanks though for helping out!

Actually even I couldn't download them
But
Before flashtool v 0.7.1.0 I had doomlords modified v0.2.9.1 flashtool to install gb & root it according to doomlords method
which had files like azuzu upgrade/downgrade in the firmware folder
& it struck me that since azuzu was the one who created those files then that should be the same ones that lukas used in his method of unlocking the bootloader
.
I took a chance & it paid off
.
The downgrade / upgrade files are there in the firmware folder
So download that flashtool package, link for flashtool here...

Sorry dont know how to upload files & where as i dont know anything about server upload & stuff
not a member of any either
Otherwise would have given the files directly
.
Anyways enjoy but after getting the files follow the steps carefully
Use the latest flashtool for flashing or getting drivers NOT the one i have mentioned
& then follow lukas's method to unlock

Its not really a big deal, you can change in anytime from your build.prop
I think the real one is printed on the back of your cell, remove your battery and see

-I was originally on a .58 PH Generic Firmware and updated to .62 via PCC . mad: i don't have any screenshot)
-I rooted it. I followed this thread: Rooting live WT19i 4.0.2.A.0.62 above without unlock bootloader for Noob<< this one is UK Generic
-I wanted to have .62 PH Generic Firmware. I downgraded it back to the .58 UK Generic and changed CDA to 1254-1952(PH Generic). I updated it via SUS. I noticed that ETS and S1 Boot Ver. didn't change when i was on .62 UK Generic.
I will try to ask the others what they've done with their phones too.
yup so common thing we have done is flash .58 from that thread ......
Another common thing is that we both came from .58 and thn upgraded via pcc and then did all that stuff..... where as my friend's phone came with stock .62 ...... did ur friend's phone also came with stock .62 ??? i think that might be the diff ..

His phone came with a .58 stock PH Generic Firmware.
He upgraded to .62 via OTA.
He followed the same thread to root his phone.
He downgraded again to .58 UK Generic via flashtool.
He edited his build.prop to PH Generic and repair/update via SUS.
His s1 boot version and ETS is the same when he first bought his phone.
His phone:
Mine:
We pretty did the same thing w/ our phones.
Another phone:
This one came w/ .58 and updated to .62 via PCC. Never been touched.

Okay. I will post it here. I'll test it first.
Hi. I have requested a firmware file already.
Bad news: Still the same S1 Boot Version and ETS Software Version.
So, it's NOT with the firmware that you install.
I'm thinking, could this be because of the flashtool version?

Maybe someone who knows the workaround of flashtool could help us with this or the dev himself.
No, Flashtool can't make modifications self. Only writes the .ftf file to phone.

You sure that they backed up the firmware right ?? Then maybe its 2 types... some have that and some have this....... Other users please report your S1 Boot Version and ETS Software version.
