Do you know how to use Flashtool ? What you need to do is either get the kernel file or the entire Stock FTF from here, then flash it with Flashtool

After selecting Flashtool, deselect all the options on top right relating to Wipe and select all options on bottom right pertaining to Exclude, except for Exclude Kernel (we dont tick Exclude Kernel). Then click Flash and connect your device and you succesfully flashed just the kernel of that FTF :D

Root access gone after flashing 6.1.1.B.1.54

1) I had xperia U firmware 6.1.1.B.1.10 .
2)
I rooted my my xperia U with flashtool.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933985

It was rooted perfectly.

3 ) Later on, I used flashtool to upgrade flash my phone to 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware

using this --

But, now when I am opening Titanium Backup or other application. I see the message no root access found!

:(

I saw in some thread that adding some files helped restore root access...

Please advise...

Hey bro,

Sorry for late reply :( When you flash stock ftf, you'll lose root :( What you need to do is flash back just the Kernel of B.10 [In Flashtool deselect all the Wipe Commands and select all the Exclude Commands except the Kernel) and then you can root with Bin4ry tool or Flashtool. Then after that, flash back the kernel of B.54 or whichever firmware you wanted by the same way I just described ;)

Hope it helps :p

Cheers
