{U} [Q] Rooting with LockedBL using Flashtool?

[RockitOut11]

Hello,

I've tryed serveral apps and Windows utilities to try to root my Xperia U... SuperOneClick, zergRush, z4root, Gingerbreak... everything fails...

So, I thinked about a thing... If on the X8 we were able to flash Kernels and System images using Flashtool, can we use the Flashtool to flash on the Xperia U a pre-rooted system image, to obtain root? Is it possible?


I'm with Locked BL, BL Unlock Allowed = NO, that's why i'm asking this...


Hope you can find an answer for my question, or another root method.

No you can't. Flashtool images are signed by Sony and this signature is verified on locked BL.

I had an xperia x8, they use a method to pass the bootloader using miniloader and splboot.ko,
I think sony has already known about this method and makes a better security so we can not pass the bootloader with that method.

That sucks so bad... it means that the people who have BL Unlock Allowed = NO will most probably stuck with Stock Kernel forever...

That is why I always buy directly from Sony, that way I know the boot loader is definitely unlockable
There will probably be a hack some time in the future.

keiran, do you know anything about exploits? can u try to make one for the Xperia U if you're able too? I can be your tester if you want and if you can do it..

btw, hope you buy your Xperia U soon! i'm unable to donate due to some troubles i have with Paypal, if i could i would donate you.. is there any other method that i can do it?
