Help!!

Major problem is that when i flashed my phone about few weeks ago i had no problems and as soon as i try to root it (yesterday) i have the problem of on the first boot all the images are so dark so you cannot read or use it and the debugging is off and the xperia home kept crashing so i re flashed it with the st25i thinking that it could be that i am using an st25a rom but still it has a black screen and i have tried everything and the only solution is to re flash it. BTW i have tried the root now 4 times and still the screen is black with the words so dark it is hard to read. the music icons have been cut in half and the bottom part of the image stuck to the top.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
no!

only if your defect is software related you will lose wareanty, and you can always flash back to clean stock rom without root

I had the same problem when I tried the original version of this "hack". But when using the flashtool variant it boots more often and the screen gets normal again. I think this problem occurs between the first and second boot and somewhat in the second boots fixes it.

Seems like you waited 60 seconds and the software force stopped it like you can see here: "Waiting for device. After 60secs, stop waiting will be forced", you have to look out for the recovery prompt on the phone! Sometimes however it does not prompt the recovery app and you have to try again, happened to me once...

Hi guys,

I had the same experience with 1st rooting - only grey main screen and nothing works. I reflashed ICS once more and tried to root it once more and everything was ok. It wants appr. 3 reboots after rooting
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] samgotit:
noob alert..!!(though im really not a noob, but just a dumb question coz of something that the phone asked me..)

the second screenshot on the 5th step "in english" reads: "the existing data in your phone memory will be replaced by the contents of your backup record"

does this mean my phone(or atleast the phone memory) will be wiped clean after this action??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] paul1508:
I have to admit, my ICS was kind of fresh when I rooted it... but I guess since you are not restoring some real backup but the RootMe you should not lose any data.. But save precious data just in case!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] samgotit:
well..i guess i took the easy way around and tried the zip file install through CWM..it was easier and safer.. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] paul1508:
But you had to flash CWM first ;) Do you have a easy way to get unlocked bootloader too? (I mean easier that getting your key from sony and so on) In that case I could write a full guide for Unlock + Root + CWM, so a full noob guide to get every customrom!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cyanide0007:
4 days old Xu:P wanna root

No bootloader unloacked :P wanna get rid of crap bloatwares :P just 4 days old Xu and already updated to ICS :)

So 1st need i unlock bootloader or just ROOT by this method is enough to remove those bloatwares??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] paul1508:
Only root is and something like TitaniumBackup is necessary to remove bloatware.

From my understanding unlocked bootloader is only necessary if you want to use some other kernel that the standard one (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Falshing kernel is the same method as flashing whole ICS. Download kernel.tft, put it to C:/Flashtool/Firmwares folder, click on "Flash" icon, connect phone as prompted. Flashing kernel takes few seconds (appr. 5MB file) , disconnect phone and reboot it. That's all

Thank you. I thought it was another procedure for flashing kernel :o now I managed to flash the old kernel, but root still doesnt work. Flashtool says "Root hack did not work. Cleaning hack files". Same as before. Am I the only one not being able to root..??

But after I've changed kernel to version from ...x.10 rom phone wasn't visible again, so I have done reistallation once more. I don't know what causes the problem, but it worked.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] yasin12:
To root this firmware u have to flash the b.10 kernel 1st. Do this:

1. Download the b.10 firmware from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1974430

2. Open flashtool, choose flash and navigate to where you downloaded the ftf file

3. Untick all the wipe options (wipe data etc everything in that top right section)

4. Tick all the exclude options(exclude system etc) BUT dont tick the exclude kernel. There should only be 4 or 5 files left to flash(kernel, loader etc)

5. Flash and reboot. Now you can root using the flashtool as usual. Your phone screen might be hard to see due to the incompatible kernel but it should still work

6. Load up b.54 firmware you previously flashed (not from this mini guide) to reflash the original kernel

7. Do the same steps as above, making sure to only flash the kernel. No need to root again

This should work, that's what i did and it worked fine for me

Hi.

My wife has a XU which we've updated to 61.1.B.1.54 however its now running like crap and i'd like to root and get rid of some bloat.

I've done the *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu and tapped Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status where it shows Bootloader unlock allowed: No.

When I try to root the phone using the method in the OP I get the 'Root Hack didn't work message' as described in numerous posts above and it fails.

I've then tried to revert back to 6.1.1.B.1.10 using Flashtool, but I when I turn the phone off, press the back button (i've tried all the other buttons as well) and plug in the USB, I get nothing - just the charging symbol.

Any ideas? Is this impossible with the disallowed unlockable bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rado77:
Unlocked/not unlocked bootloader has nothing to do with root ;) To enter flashmode on phone you have to use combination VOL_DOWN + plugging USB cable at the same time. Good luck

Hi I am new to this forum, previously I had LG-P500. Recently bought XPU.

I updated using PC companion software to ICS .10 firmware. Unlocked bootloader successfully but unable to root.

I am using Win7 (64bit) but whenever I connect my phone, flashtool detects it buy says 'connected with debugging off' although I have debugging enable.

When I enable 'USB tethering' to ON, flashtool detects it successfully but during root process when my phone reboots its tethering stops so flashtool doesn't detects further.

Any help???

Why everyone wants to make their life harder? There is a flashable, already rooted *.zip of .100 firmware posted in development section by pirej. A rooted user can just flash it and voila! it's ready to use...
