Of course its for unlocked bootloader only. But. When U have it unlocked I dont see any sense to use stock kernel after all

luccasvr · Feb 14, 2014

A reason to use stock kernel is that the advanced kernel from doomlord has very poor ram management. A lot of users complaining about that. Thanks for the tutorial.

Yes u got it! :good:, this is the main cause of this education.

You could also add in the thread if som1 is on .254 fimrware and rooted can take a backup of TA partition, then unlock bootloader and after following all steps restore TA and flash stock kernel, that's it locked bootloader with all DRM keys/TA partition present along with root and recovery's.

Edit : in 3rd step it's not needed to flash the stock kernel using fastboot, it can/should be flashed in flashmode.

Step 3 should not be flashed in fastboot. or it will bricked your phone. use flash tool via flash mode since it is a tft file

You should modify the title of this topic and add [UB] cause it misleads people and make them believe that there is a working root for [LB]

update to. 266 while keeping root

Hi, I'm new to this, is there anyway to update to 4.3 without losing root? And if there isn't, is it possible to re-root on updated Xperia sp without unlocking the bootloader? Any help greatly appreciated...

Nope, you will surely lose root when you update but you still can gain root by following the OP. Works 100% though you will need to UNLOCK your BOOTLOADER to gain such permission. But you can relock later after installing SuperSU and its binaries if you 1st backup your TA partition

mrjraider · Feb 15, 2014

So instead of creating the obvious tutorials about how to root for UBL only it would be nice if you could find the way for LB.
Also this is more of a double thread since Doomlord has updated his CWM thread

You put a [LB] tag in the title, and you say in the thread it is for unlocked bootloader only ...

update to 4.3 and root with locked bootloader

I'm new here! I can't unlock the bootloader. Am running rooted 4.1 on xperia sp. Could you put up a very simple step by step guide for doing the update and rooting. I've read through the thread and can't quite follow what to do. Have used flashtool for the original rooting process but apart from that am totally green I'm afraid...thanks in anticipation!
