[ROOT] Firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54

[slackerzz]

DON'T USE ON XPERIA U, XPERIA P AND OTHER XPERIAS. KERNEL FILES PROVIDED ARE ONLY FOR XPERIA SOLA!!!


This is the same method used by naruto20007 in [Root - Locked Bootloader] Xperia P 6.1.1.B.1.54 so thanks him, i've only packed the two kernel ftf files for sola.

This works with LOCKED and UNLOCKED bootloader

I assume that you are running 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware

You need:
1. Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry LINK
2. 6.1.1.B.1.10 and 6.1.1.B.1.54 stock kernel ftf files LINK
3. Flashtool LINK


INSTRUCTION
1. Flash MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_KERNEL.ftf with Flashtool and reboot
2. Root using Bin4ry's method
3. Flash MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf with Flashtool and reboot

After flashing the 6.1.1.B.1.10 kernel your icons can turn black, don't worry and go on.


If you have unlocked bootloader you can also root by flashing TheBrainsKernel

in the zip linked in the first post you find 2 stock kernel from sony, not custom. I'm on locked BL too and tested on my phone before posting

No, you're going to flash only the kernel, not wiping

 

[Snowstormzzz]

No, you're going to flash only the kernel, not wiping

If I recall, flashing via flashtool will result in a wipe.

 

[lalit387]

If I recall, flashing via flashtool will result in a wipe.

If you exclude userdata.sin data will intact

If flashing a part other than above file you can retain your data

Flashing kernel or baseband has nothing to do with data
