exactly, you made it sound so simple
after unlocking the bootloader, flashing a prerooted system.img will also work if you don't want a custom kernel.
Finding this should not be that hard: [Xperia S][INFO][REF] All that u need to know before u begin
Oh.. and unlocking the bootloader will also have some disadvantages like warranty and DRM related things.
Still not easy
can you link it step by step plz...
what i have to do first
(little noob)
I have not rooted my phone (yet..) i don't want to unlock bootloader.
I think its best if you start reading from the beginning of the previous link, or if you want to get started right away then:
see this tutorial for Unlocking Bootloader:
[Tutorial] Xperia S Bootloader Unlocking & Relocking
and this for rooting:

Thx man i will try it...
to root i will have to unlock bootloader??
is that really needed?
Arter bootloader i need to unlock also??
Currently it is the only way to root, later on another way will probably come along, but for now you must unlock your bootloader to root your device.
There isn't really much of downside besides losing some functionality in some apps due to the loss of your DRM key. It does not 100% void your warranty, but if you plan on overclocking and it goes wrong, your warranty will probably be voided.

Hi!
I have an Xperia U ICS flashed using flashtool. Unrooted and Locked. I do want to root/unlock, I just had a few questions first.
- Can I root my phone WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader?.. as I heard that unlocking ones bootloader is risky and can damage the phone.
I really have no idea as to how to root a phone as I'm totally new to droid ( 1st android phone ) ! So it would be really helpful if someone at least posted a link(s) for a tutorial. (The right tutorial for a newbie! ) If possible, I want to root my phone WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader.
- What is the difference between Root with Locked bootloader & Root with Unlocked bootloader?
And regarding ROMs, I also heard that custom ROMs are really much better than the stock ones, So If anyone could help me choosing the best ROM for my Xperia U would be helpful too. Also a tutorial link as to how to install a custom ROM. User reviews would be real helpful here, People who have custom Xperia U ROMs, HELP!
Help out guys
P.S I know there are tutorials out there, I just don't know which one to follow.
Just follow the instructions here to root your phone :

Yes you can root your phone without locking the bootloader, when you unlock the bootloader you void your warranty. A locked bootloader doesnt void your warranty, but doesnt allow you to be able to flash all custom roms, some need an unlocked bootloader to work. Cannot help you with guides because i use the Xperia P, good luck though.

Thanks!:good: Alright, So I've decided, I'll root my phone without unlocking my bootloader, So any help here please?
And are there any ROMs I can apply to a locked bootloader? Help Xperia U users please!
root without unlock bootloader it still save to be use and doesn't void your warranty
you still can try some custom ROM but definitely never to custom kernel

I pulled the cable from my former rooted S2 while it was flashing with Odin.
The result -> bricked phone
I had to return the phone to be fixed/replaced within warranty.
Told them that my wife pulled the cable while the phone was connected to the computer (probably updating )
The replaced the phone.
Until now, I've returned 3 phones for warranty.
All rooted.
No problem.
After you root it, if you need to return for warranty, you can flash a stock firmware and it's like new.
you mean to say that if i root my phone i lose my warranty and then if i have to go to service centre then i have to install stock ROM to phone and they never know that i rooted my phone ??

Root or custom rom voids warranty .
Following the procedure in the HowTo return your phone to stock for warranty guide will in most cases restore warranty .
But its more than just install stock rom .

Hi guys, quick question here.
I have bought a Redmi Note 4 , 32gb/3gb Snapdragon one.
I have these questions.
How is warranty affected after rooting our device ?
How is warranty affected by uunlocking the bootloader ?
What features won't work after unlocking the bootloader ?
What to keep in mind, to avoid problms in future , would xiaomi service centres be of any help ?
Thank you. Please answer separately for each question.
Xiaomi just like onePlus supports rooting....
So don't worry...
You can always get back your warranty by Just flashing the global stable ROM...
Also all the features will work after unlocking bootloader...
Do remember that it's you who is willing to make the changes and I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong...
Avoid rooting if you don't have adequate knowledge...

1) You void your warranty on rooting your device
2) Unlocking the bootloader itself doesn't void your warranty.. but the Mi Unlock tool clearly states whatever happens after the bootloader unlock (custom ROM install and stuff) is your responsibility.. so if something happens during those processes, the warranty is void..
3) according to xiaomi, things like Encryption and find my device won't properly work..
4) flash original fastboot rom and relock the bootloader if you want to take the thing to service center.. the only situation where your warranty truly is void is if you manage to brick it beyond repair, which is almost impossible to do.. (you can make a xiaomi deep flash cable (google it) to fix the device even when you can't directly boot into fastboot mode)
P.S. - i haven't done the deep flash stuff.. just posting what I learnt on the internet
---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------
As long as the technicians get the phone running unrooted stock MIUI, they won't complain..
PS - again this is according to the internet.. i have not tested this..

Nothing to worry, just do eet!
I remember the case when i bricked my galaxy S1 back in those years 2 times and I took it to the service center in india which was almost a kilometre from my house and i told the guy that it got bricked when i was charging it.. He replaced the motherboard and gave me both the times.. And told me that I probably had a loose connection at home ?.. I told him I'll get it fixed.. Thats the only device i ever bricked and that too because it was the first device i was trying to mod.. Its really tough to brick the newer devices.. But i dont know if the trick i used still works with the service centres today..
Before this i only experience root phone that has no warranty. Now with this info, it make sense. When restore the stock ROM everything goes back to normal on my old Samsung device. That mean the device is fully restore as original which mean restore the warranty as well. Thanks Guys, just got my redmi note 4 SD and will install Resurrection Remix right away.

If you are planning to install custom rom asap then you should check out the bootloader unlock guide to be prepared for your bootloader unlock.. As unlocking the bootloader can be a time taking task...

Hi ak_baik
Hello.
I am from KL too and going to get one Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (SD) soon. Can you share your success on step by step ......
1. How to unlock the bootloader?
2. How to root it?
3. How to install the TWRP and also the back up too?
4. Do you need to flash the latest Firmware (Upgrade your Miui 9) before doing the RR 5.8.5 10/25 stable version?
Currently, I have installed RR on my both Galaxy S2 GT-9100 and Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) >>> Beautifully thumb Up!

Welcome to Xiaomi Family..
You can just browsing in Redmi Note 4 xda section for the tutorial.
1. Unlock bootloader (the most annoying part)
2. Install Twrp via fastboot
3. Flash Rom & Magisk or anything you prefer.
4. Done, that's it...
For miui i do not backup anything since brand new n nothing to backup and dont worry about warranty. You can restore back to original version by flashing stock rom from xiaomi then you can claim for warranty with no issue, i have done it before.

By which method should we root
I mean can we root it directly by using the one tap root (kingroot app) or should we use the pc method
