Ok, I'll add the stock firmware .FTF later

EDIT: It flashes successfully via fastboot on my Xperia S so I don't think anything is wrong
But I can't test it because it wont boot on my XS of course

 

[gm007]

Does xperia U and P have the same firmware version?
Cause your thread title and the one from bin4ry is the same

And the prerooted firmware is already on XDA Fileserver

EDIT: Added original firmware ftf on XDA Fileserver

I don't know if you have seen it but I added a download link for "Flashtool with Xperia U support"

And I'm talking with someone who has an unlocked Xperia U, when he wants to flash it fastboot says "remote download size too large"

Don't know if it will work for you, but it's a pretty weird error since the system partition should be big enough

well im trying to unlock it rite now.... it wont stay on fastboot mode ( volume up + plug usb)...... or is it volume down + usb? volume down was what i used to update the phone via seus....when i press volume up, the light strip turns blue for a second or two, but then goes into charging while shutdown mode.... when i try with volume up it turns green and stays like that...

It needs to turn blue and stay blue with screen off
Did you check in service menu if bootloader unlock is allowed on your device?

maybe a power pproblem....just check and my battery was under 50%....i charge fully and then see and bootloader unlock is allowed...

It means you can't unlock your Xperia S unless you find a way to remove simlock I think.

Btw: is there anyone else that can upload Xperiu U ftf or seus files?
