I'm unable to root my phone (tried almost all software but still no one is unable to root my phone). I'm running Stock ICS installed via SUS & Locked Bootloader (I lost my Original Firmware during full format). Can I install this kernel on Locked Bootloader? Also, will this kernel root my phone surely?

As far as I know you can't flash recovery on locked bootloader
and if you did either you flash a normal kernel and flash the root with the CWM
or you flash an auto root kernel and your device will be rooted automatically

Thanks! I've unlocked bootloader, installed your kernel, installed stock JB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270027 & root apps for lag free experience! Thanks again to you! Without your kernel I was just mourning around.....

I'm very new to xperia U. Was familiar with Samsung devices. Anybody can tell me the simple procedure? Stock ICS Firmware 6.1.1.B.1.10 , Locked bootloader, Un-rooted, No custom recovery installed.

Will be a big favor if any body can head me to the Unlocking bootloader guide for me, & flashing this kernel? Plus Am i right that after flashing this kernel on my stock firmware i'll get root & custom recovery installed?

Here is a full guide for Root & CWM & Unlock Bootloader & Custom ROM Installation
and yes you'll get a recovery installed after flashing a custom kernel like Experimental kernel
