It worked in Xperia P but it said:
cannot stat 'stuff\ric': No such file or directory
wondering if it could affect something...
fakebackup.ab is the file which is used for XperiaT and other devices which can do directly "adb restore"
vpnfaker is from tabletS rooting trick, i removed it now because someone else has posted already a good version in TabletS forum
Regards
is it working on xperia ion? or.. is this working for every ics phone no matter it's sony or not??
It works here, have you started the restore app ? On Xperia S you have to start the "Backup&Restore" app from menu and select the backup to restore manually.

Does not work for Xperia P as well... ICS and has the backup and restore app

Please look at your device and click RESTORE!
If all is successful I will tell you, if not this shell will run forever
That's it... the phone does not prompt for a restore
You have to start the script on a windows PC , then follow the instructions.

i did a full backing using the 'backup & restore' app.
then flash a new ftf of singapore generic.
then use your script to root the phone succesfully.
now i try to restore using the same app, i can only see the 'rootme' and all other backup of mine cannot be seen.
how do i restore my previous apps?
anyway good stuff........
Hello,
first of all thank you for your work.
I have a question regarding this method, i have a locked bootloader and wanted to know if this unlocks it and wipes the phone
or stays locked and doens't wipe anything?
thank you again for your work.
best regards
Not working on a Stock Xperia S... doesnt ask to restore... just reboots... and fails to chmod
$ dd if=fakebackup.ab bs=1 skip=24 | openssl zlib -d >fakebackup.tar
$ tar tvf fakebackup.tar
