Experimentation and study
new procedures for Rooting
Sony and Sony Tablet Terminal Phone with ICS
Procedure # 1 →
a - download the file (all)
b - rename the file to update.zip 01 or 02 before inserting them in the root SDcard →
c - go into recovery mode (power + volume) and select System Update from SD CARD
d - select the pack just copied and renamed
and - recovery time from temporary select the pack 03 (does not need to be renamed)
f - if everything is ok now when you restart you'll have root
Code:
NB: two packs were included, because in theory if one does not work the other
I recommend that you first use the 01 because that's what should be "eaten" without problems.
In theory only side effects of this procedure should be the lack of flash pack.
Code:
DOWNLOAD PACK CLAIMS OF CONSCIENCE EVER TAKEN A TEST OF EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL.
WHAT DO YOU DO ONLY AND SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
The folder in mediafire is empty.
Yer there's nout in the folder.
attached files.
it will not work.
signature is not correct - even not the proper type - it has to be signed for whole-file.
what is the source of the files? you have created them?
what version of cwm recov is included? is it correct for S?
or some 'other-device' one?
I was getting excited then
This procedure for all devices sony and samsung. Samsung also works on the tablet now goes head to head Sony Tablet if someone tells me where to go or not. Could go. It does not install the CWM but does only the Root
Has anyone tested this yet?
anybody successed?

no risk, i'm sorry but its useless.

Is there any way that you could fake the verification in a zip file condi? surely there must be.
Why post useless threads, not even chcked personally???
This forum is going down...
If not Condi we would be in all nowhere...
Before you post sth, CHECK if it works. What if it was dangerous and bricks the device???
Have you considered this?
Next time: think about the possible consequences, not post something you don't even know how/if it works, please.
Mods, remove this trash, please.

Always.
Yes, the idea is what counts.
Since when has it been the standard to post un-checked un-verified and non working files here?
Dangerous is what it is. Lucky this is a sony with barely any user base, if this was posted on the galaxy forums there would be hundreds of possibly messed up phones out there...
I have a sony Tablet S but I can not test this procedure because they are not home. I'm off to work and I will have to stay for a few months so if anyone of good will could test this method and send the results would be happy. @ Condi if the compilation and wrong could you fill it in right way so as to have the root?
@ Condi.Is the guy maybe on the right track ?.If he is maybe you could help him ?
i have a sony tablet s with stock ics rom
tomorrow i'll come back home and try it let's hope it works

Did you miss the fact that the first two links describe the exact same method, or that the other the other two don't require rooting at all. Adding a link to your post doesn't warrant you having to start yet another thread on the exact same topic, with almost similar wording as an existing thread on the same page you've posted yours.

They are all good, but you'll find it easier using one of the last two.
Xperia Play Pack
I have made a Xperia play pack for people to download which contains all the information you will need to root, unlock and flash your play, with guide's to follow.
The reason for doing this is because i have just had some time to play with my phone, and i have had to spend hours going through different forums and post just to work out how to get thing all working. i can also see loads of people confused and asking question because they dont really understand whats going on. So really it is a newbies guide to it all.
Whats in this pack
Guide on how to use flash tools to flash any updates and i have also included the .184 UK firmware update.
Guide on how to unlock your bootloaders with all the files included
Guide on how to root your xperia play with all the files included
Guide on how to use clockwork recovery.
I will be writing more guides as the scene develops mainly newbies guides and i will be updating this post with more download links.
Installation
1.Download Pack1
2.Unpack the .rar file to a location on your computer your going to remember, for example your desktop.
3.Then open the read me file inside.
4. You must always download pack 1 first then just extract the other packs in the same place and overwrite the files.
Just to let you know this is not the final pack im going to be making the guides a bit more noob friendly, and if you have any problems let me know.
Downloads
Pack1: http://www.multiupload.com/RS2TGE73PL

I give thanks to all that are helping the scene and i will donate to you just pm me your detail.

The imported version won't work on Verizon, so if you are stuck on Contract.... sucks to be you. You might be lucky to get a SIM that would work with AT&T or one of those... maybe. Likely just slightly different frequencies. I haven't compared the US-side GSM networks closely enough.

WARNING: LEAKED ICS MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE Public Service Announcement: ICS Leaks and Recovery - HARDBRICK WARNING
it is suggested to follow the installation procedures and copy the files manaully if you worry about bricking your phone
note: although this is not built from AT&T i717, it can be used on i717 as well as reported by users for the gingerbread version. however, if u encounter any problems, feel free to contact me by leaving a reply here, or adding a comment in my blog at Galaxy Note Sony Bravia Engine ICS mod - http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2012/05/galaxy-note-sony-bravia-engine-ics-mod.html
for developers and rom makers:
- pls kindly let me know or put my name in your post if you put this mod into your roms so that i know who is using it. this is because experiences in the sgs2 one tell me users will only ask for help in your thread and they even dont know which gallery they r using, since most of the roms just put the words "bravia engine" or "new gallery" and that's all. i cannot, and in fact impossible, to read every post in every thread to help them to solve the problems. what i want is to consolidate the questions and problems so that they can be identified easily, and to help ppl to solve the problems.
more, pls add a link either to this post, or the original howto at http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2012/01/sgs2-gallery-sony-bravia-engine-demo.html for users reference
thank you
a few notes for users:
- ALWAYS DO A BACKUP FIRST!!
- pls, pls forget anything u've seen before about the bravia engine and forget about the prop files. there is NO NEED to modify any file yourself to make it works
- if u wanna use the bravia engine to render/redraw ur wallpaper, u need to pick the wallpaper again in my modded gallery since the existing wallpaper is cached/stored and the system will not re-generate the wallpaper each time the phone boots up
- all steps in the installation guide for sgs2 should be the same for sgn and so far i couldnt find any difference between them
- the only difference i observed is about the performance. in sgs2, the image will be rendered almost instantly (on my modded sgs2 at least, i dono how it performs in stock rom). but on this sgn (not tuned yet), the image will be rendered piece by piece from the bottom right to the top left and u can see that visually

I tried to flash it with the zip but it doesn't install the files so I moved them manually with root explorer.
I cant tell for sure if it works. Will have to do more testing but it is a cool idea and will keep following to see how this develops.

u welcome, it's just a link and no big deal
but i am interested in the problems u encountered. what do u mean by 'it doesnt install the files'? do u mean it failed to install in the recovery or what? and since u know how to play with root explorer, u can copy the files manually to the target locations as stated in the howto
one more thing, if it installed but FC, it's probably due to the conflicts between this mod and the previous gallery. so remove/rename/move the old gallery data will do if u can to avoid lossing other data, else do a wipe
feel free to tell me if u have any problems
I installed all the files fine with root explorer. The zip might not be written for our note.
No problems. No force closes. NO BRICKING! Haha
I just don't really use the stock gallery and it is hard to see a difference for me.
I was hoping this would give a system wide improvement.

Hi there, have someone here tried to activate the on screen buttons for xperia s using the following document:
[MOD] Enable Xperia S on-screen buttons (Stock ICS 6.1.A.0.452) on the development section? cause i tried, however it did not work, i am running last version of Android 4.0.4 with unlocked bootloader and root as well, I followed step number 3 just to replace the original file as it is explained on the post, right after the phone rebooted by itself and as a result i get a bootloop. I would apreciate any help that you can provide to me

Or you use the CWM file (last page, reuploaded. Or you paste the file on the /system partition, set permissions and then move it to /system/framework.
Framework-res.apk is propably one of the most important files from the entire Android system.
MMM ok, i think it would be easier to just install the ZIP file with CWM, however file is no longer available on your post, it seems it was removed from Mediafire server, so you think just by setting permisions i would be able to achieve the goal?

For ICS (android 4.0+)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
For GB (android 2.3.7)
It will guide you step by step through the unlocking process and rooting the Xperia U
(same principles apply for P & S but no examples/kernels provided)
Credits (links)
Guide based on the information provided by DoomLord
The 1.564 kernel is made by DoomLord
The 3.184 kernel is made by KeiranFTW
More information about warranty: visit Sony Forum
For the noobs:
Root / Rooting = to lift the default protection of the Android OS and gives you access to all system files that are normally hidden from you
This enables extra functionality but also requires knowledge about the android system to know what is safe to do and what not.
- Simple root use: changing theme elements / new battery icons / individually controlling the LEDs
- Advanced root use: overclocking your CPU / adjusting the OS / making a custom ROM
Nice!!
Is Their Any Solution To Root Without Unlocking Bootloader . I Know Their is One in XPERIA U Development Thread but Its Links Are Not Valid ..and moreover its for Xperia U .564 firmware but I Want it For The .184 ?...
That one was fake.. Might be possible when ICS comes.. But am not sure
Sent from my ST25i
Thanks! It actually helped me root my XPERIA U!
Followed the guide, my U lost the ability to change colors when viewing the themes (cosmic flow) although when viewing images it still works fine. Also started getting some lag. Any way to somehow fix these?

This is a known bug on the Xperia U. However to fix it, all you have to do is install the Light1.1.apk from the following thread (Credits to straciam).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823418
PS: I have not tested this app but I speculate that this will be the solution based on the comments in that thread. I would recommend you to read the thread first. If this helped, do thank me and the developer of the app
@nixx-X1: I would like to request you to incorporate a re-locking guide for Xperia U. I would've done it myself but seems like your video tutorial actually makes things simpler.

Will try to do that when I get home next week thanks. I now have a new issue lol. Recently tried out supercharged kernel by vito, prob is that when I press the power button the screen somewhat flickers before fading to black. It goes fuzzy like in a tv but only quickly. Tried turning off and on my phone but its still there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

To Un-root, all you need to do is Flash the stock ROM FTF. There are 2 threads in the Xperia U Development thread that has all the information of Download links to the FTF's ICS and GB. Just have a look. Just a quick guided video would be helpful.

I am using the Supercharged Kernel too and I do not exactly know if it is a problem coz I believe it is the fade out effect. I never experienced any flicker of any sort. Could you please tell me what precisely is happening? BTW, what ROM are u using?
Thank's!

Its the fade out effect. Before I used the kernel the screen normally goes black, now the fade out effect has gray and white fuzzy things. I don't think I have tried to change my ROM yet.

binary methode only works on ICS. so take that one (don't forget to install busybox after it)
--edit--
have installed it today on my XU.
v13 of the binary methode works, v14_2 messes stuff up.
Hi
I'm having real problems.
I'm not a complete n00b but I can't get past the stage where I need to locate the drivers in device manager. I jut point to the folder where it is and nothing happens. It doesn't install the drivers. I have tried zipped and unzipped and still nothing. Please help
