I used v13 successfully to root my Sony Tablet S.

I've possibly never performed a weirder process than running this on that tablet -after trying to get it to talk to a PC correctly on 3 different devices, I finally got the root script to run right. At almost no point does it look like it's working - all I get is errors and permission denied. Then, it finished, and through some miracle, it does exactly what it's supposed to do and everything works.

Crazy, but thanks.

how to root xperia u?

I have a xperia u:

st25i;

2.3.7;

2.6.35.7+;

6.0.B.3.184;

locked bootloader;

Stock room;

I would like to know if for me to perform a root on my phone, if i have to install first ICS from st25a model, and exclude the base band on the falshtool program?

And i would like to ask if after doing this, i have to use this program "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry" to do the root?

After i do the root on my phone can i put the original program on my phone but with superuser installed?

Does this all work with locked bootloader?

Help me please :) thank you

On Xperia U (st25i) only V13 work good, but mms stop working. Receive work, but send dont work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Xperia Ion couldn't get V14_2 to work but 13 seems to have made root.

Just letting you know
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nixx-X1:
okay.. just found out that busybox is not properly installed on the XU.

Even after updating BusyBox to the latest version the ASH shell scripting doesn't work.

It is installed and in the right location but non of the terminals recognize it and tell it's not found.

anyone any idea how to fix this manually?

Would be great if you could fix this.. some apps depend on it and cannot do without ;)

Huawei Ascend D Quad XL works

V13 worked to root Huawei Ascend D Quad XL running Chinese software.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hx4700 Killer:
Still patiently awaiting a detailed description on how/why this works

What is the "Trick" as you call it? The restore happens a symlink is created to local.prop in /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99 pointing it to /data/local.prop How does that yield QEMU = 1 getting set in local.prop? How does that get us in emulator mode?

I note on my transformer prime that build.prop has QEMU= <-- NULL, nothing set there. Might that override what we are trying to accomplish here?

What is the "Timing issue" with adb restore that is being exploited? I can create the symbolic link to local.prop anwhere, anytime I like. What does the restore do that is so special? Why is it required?

Thanks.

v13 and v14_2 don't work with the thrive. It will put it into a reboot loop, making the tablet useless. It must be factory reset using the "android system recovery" before it can be used again.

@bin4ry

I have tried to root my sony tablet s using V.13 [ I have used V.14 but not work ]

and its comes up like this [ attached images ]

My tablet is CHINA one with

4.0.3r1a kernel#10

so what should I do or can you tell me if I am do anything wrong

This one I didn't do anything about VPNFaker.apk and if I have to do with it what I have to do and how ?

and am I need to extract two .rar files [ RootMe.tar and rootkittablet.tar.gz ] in the stuff folder ?

thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
It doesn't work...

Says it pushed the SU app but it didn't...

DLing from PS, hoping the SU binary was pushed at least...

*fingers crossed*

EDIT: Nah, I'm not that lucky... Though you can feel the changes, as the phone lags to unsuable...

Will using an older version fix this and if yes, what version to choose (Xperia S, locked bootloader)...?

EDIT2: No luck with v14_2 AND v14...

But the LAGGING is soooooooooo much, I'll have to factory reset the phone... :(

Sorry all i am away this week, i will answer all PM's and questions when i am back.

Just this short notice to you so nobody is wondering why i am not answering.

EDIT:

for ALL people with lagging phones please try this:

This SHOULD fix your issue, i think the v14 version has a problem with removing the local.prop and that is why your device will run in emulator mode -> lagging is the outcome of this.

v14 does not work on xperia s, pls use v13.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hx4700 Killer:
as many have said removing the local.prop will take the phone or device out of any emulator mode and speed things up. That is the key to why this works. emulator mode gives adb root access.

Xperia P ICS root not possible?

I didn't find the answer searching this thread - please, could anyone tell me how it is with current Sony Xperia P phones, that received the ICS update? Are they able to be rooted?

When I start the script, it just stops at

"daemon started succesfully" and "please connect your device" line.

Might that be because I have incorrect drivers? How do I find out if that is true? I read that Sony has not yet released new drivers for the ICS version, but I don't know if that changes anything for me...?

Let me know please, if you can.
