Hi! I've got an Xperia U with ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54. I never rooted any phone or something else, but I watch a lot of video about it. Please help me to root my Xperia U. Could I get a tutorial video step by step, please. (Sorry for my bad english.)
First of all, you'll need ' Flashtool '.
Then Here's the Rooting Process for you.
This Rooting guide applies to all FW versions above B.1.10.
1) Open Flashtool.
2) Click the Flash icon.
3) Select Flash Mode. (Make sure USB Debugging is ON in your Mobile Settings before connecting to PC)
4) Select & Flash the B.1.10 kernel. Then Reboot.
5) Select the Un-Lock icon and choose your preferred SU app & proceed.
6) Follow the on-screen instructions.
7) Now you have rooted your device.
8) Flash B.1.54 kernel through Flash Mode and let the device reboot.

First of all, im newbie and i dont know much about this
I installed new wolfbreak v7 rom on xperia x10 but i cant get wifi working. I've read that i need doomlord's unlocked bootloaders so i downloaded .ftf file but i cant flash it, i get this in flashtool (newest version):
17/007/2012 13:07:13 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
I was following this thread but i cant get it to flash.
And i know i need that CWM recovery to flash the wifi.zip file but how do i get that recovery.
If anyone can tell me how do i unlock bootloader on my phone (xperia x10). My phone is not sim-unlocked, only rooted.
Initially (from a shop) in the phone the bootloader is locked.
If you want to flash a kernel for unblocked bootloader, then at first it is needed to execute procedure of unlocking of bootloader.
how do i do that?

Is your phone sim-unlocked? Cwm is included within doomkernel.

2.boot into your phone installed recovery
3.select "Install custom zip" and select the CWM recovery zip file to flash
then u can use CWM recovery.
Hi, I'm on wolf's Rom.
First of, did you make a clean install starting from 2.1?
Then after rooting your phone & putting xrecovery onto it, you have to unlock your bootloader with the same flashtool. ( plug in phone & press unlock bootloader in flash tool)
After that's done, enter xrecovery, wipe everything(factory reset etc.) & install Wolf's Rom for UB Important is, do not reboot, take out your battery & flash dooms kernal through flash tool!!
When that's done, you can install dooms WiFi fix through xrecovery!!
Hope I could help you out

For all of you having problems with unlocking bootloader. Simply follow this(I did this with Wolfbreak's v7 ROM on):
1. Download the latest Flashtool v0.6.7.0(you can get it here)
2. Run it, then plug the device.
3. (In flashtool) Go to Plugins> Unlock bootloader.
4. Follow the instructions in flashtool(always look at the log)
5. Done, your bootloader is unlocked.
Hope this helps
Download link is not reuploaded
EDIT: Oh and yeah, don't forget to install the flashtool drivers, it can be found on the install directory "Flashtool\drivers". If a message appears while installing just click "Install this driver anyway" it will appear many times, just keep on clicking it til installation is done. Good Luck everyone!

Yes there is a way, but you would have to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel. After that install it in cwm
For the firmware links maybe this could help you :good:

You will loose all data on phone!
Okay here you go:
1. Unlock your bootloader. How yo do this is in my guide, but remember it will void your warranty
2. Install Flashtool and all the drivers from the flashtool installation folder for all devices and modes.
3. Download FXP cm10 (Android 4.1.2 - mostly working) or cm10.1 Alpha (4.2.1 - many things not working, for more details see the thread by shufuking) and copy the rom zip to the sdcard of your phone.
Download the Google apps (gapps) for jelly bean 4.1 or 4.2 (depending on which rom you choose) and copy it to sdcard too.
4. Extract the zip on your PC, copy the boot.img to a folder named "kernels" (that you have to create in the Flashtool folder).
Launch Flashtool, click on the flash -> fastboot mode.
5. Click "reboot into fastboot mode" or shut down the phone, wait 10 seconds, hold volume up and while holding volume up connect the usb to pc. Now the blue led lights up
6. "Select kernel to flash" and select the boot.img in kernels folder.
7. Wait until the image is flashed, now unplug you phone.
8. Power on phone and while it's powering on press volume down again and again to get in clockworkmod recovery (cwm)
9. Select wipe data/factory reset (you navigate with the volume keys and select with the home button) and wipe cache.
10. Go to advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
11. Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip -> choose the rom zip and install it
12. Install zip from sdcard -> choose the gapps
13. Now reboot the phone and enjoy
That's it, for any other questions just ask :good:
Thanks Worked Perfectly

the root is S3V3N_Root ,b ut the flash tools recognizes the two as .599
tried, seemed to work but no root ...
I got root. what I did was the same procedure as rooting .54
I used "Root with Restore by Bin4ry v17".
after successfully rooting on .599, re-install the .75 kernel, check all exclude system, baseband, fota and partition. except for the kernel. then un-check wipe data, cache and apps log..
it worked for me so it should work on yours too.

This is known possible side effect. You should proceed and everything should be ok at the end.
After repairing phone to 6.0.B.544 and then that crashed I flashed .75 and flashed the .599 kernel in flashtool and followed its instructions better. B1inary tool worked and then flashed the final part and now it works. lets see how long before I have to do the whole process again.
-- this happen because cwm corrupted the loadheader or watever.
There is already a root method included in the sticky and there is no link provided.

hi, a quick guide how to revert from kitkat on xperia ray, should be about the same for most xperia 2011 devices.
if you managed to get to kitkat you will manage to understand this quick guide
pre requirements
1) flashtool
2) original full ics tft file of .587
3) eroot
3) cm10.zip (this what i used to revert to)
1) go to fastboot mode
2) in flashtool select flashmode, select that tft file, and be sure to select no final verification!!!
* you can finish here if you want stock rom
3) let ics load, then enable:
a) develop option->usb debugging
b) xperia-> usb method->msc
c) security-> allow from unknown sources
4) run eroot (one click method) to root your device
5) install x-parts from google play and install cwm recovery
* you can finish here if you want stock rom+root+recovery
6) reboot to fastboot and instal boot.img from the custom rom!!!
7) reboot to recovery and install zip
8) profit...
It is not necessary to flash stock ftf file. Usually when I want to downgrade from cm11, I just flash the respective kernel and do the required wipes (system, data, cache and dalvik cache) and then flash the rom. This method certainly works for me and much easier than always flashing stock ftf.

those steps are really useless if u switch to a custom rom, bcuz
for a) b) c) u dont need this to enter fastboot. only usb debugging may should be needed for flashtool. but i use flashtool like this: prepare all files till it says ''connect device'' then i connect (powered off) device to flashtool AT LEAST. it works on stock ics without ticked usb debugging -for me-
4) & 5) really useless mostly any custom rom comes prerooted. just a waste of time but maybe u add it below ''*finish here if u want stock.ics'' then u can write it for those who want CWM & root on STOCK.ics
anyway thx for ur effort in making this, im sure it helps many , i just also wanna help so dont take this as a complainment
peace
i wrote this after trying to downgrade and failed with other methods.
flash rom from recovery needed older kernel
flashed kernel but than couldnt get to recovery (might flashed wrong kernel though) was stuck on bootloop.
so i wrote this as a fool proof method, would work for many other cases if you have software problems.
Nice guide yes you may add "*finish here if you want rooted stock ICS & cwm" between 5 & 6.

Follow exactly what i mentioned if you want to root sucessfully on locked bootloader, i was tried and its work perfectly.
First you have to download the files:
download flashtool here > https://unrestrict.li/flashtool
1. You have to downgrade the firmware to .532 witch is able to support root so download file either direct or torrent here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=3442 and download Official firmware 14.3.A.0.757.FTF from here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921 which is need to flash certain files from there, which is called stripped.FTF
if the C6833_14.1.B.1.532_NUT.ftf showed as .zip , simply you change .zip to .ftf and flash via flashtool.
2. Next download root file from binary here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
After download, you have to run.bat then have option there, choose 0 < it's root for ZUltra (you must turn on usb debugging on XZU) you will sucessfully rooted XZU
3. Next you have to install XZUrecovery, so download here > http://nut.xperia-files.com/ ( download files name ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.installer.zip (9.37MB) and ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.flashable.zip (7.63MB) )
Use installer.zip to push recovery on XZU While flashable.zip is flash together with custom ROM.
If you want to enter recovery > turn off XZU wait for few second and turn on > when you feel viberate > hold volume down button until enter to recovery
3. Next you have to update firmware from .532 back to 757 > you can choose either custom from monX here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606414 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712899 (download flashable.zip)
4.Next enter to recovery and make flash the flasable.zip and ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.flashable.zip and don't reboot to system, make power off XZU
Then go to flashtool flash the Official 14.3.A.0.757.FTF(Only exclude system.sin) and untick on wipe app, cache and data.
Done, you have rooted XZU with recovery.
I am sorry for the poor english, i try the best to help . If you still have trouble to root, willing to P.M me.
xperia ultra 6833 root
just done guys.All works fine on my new xperia z ultra 6833.
please read carefully tutorial and follow each step and Im sure You get rooted your phone and dual recovery as well.
good luck and Big Thanks
