pre-roted is already rooted rom.
Bootloader is part of phone to boot your system, must bu unlocked to instal CUSTOM ROM (thah void your warranty)
also there is 2rom for locked Bootloader.
This is what the stickys are for.

You can have root without unlocked bootloader
but It makes me wonder why you would revert back to locked?
just wait for someone to make a ROM / nandroid and flash the new file lol.
OTA is for people who aren't used to fooling with there device
apparently i tried rooting but i cant root without unlocking bootloader, only after i unlocked the bootloader i manage to get root
so it is advisable to just keep my unlock bootloader and flash new roms using Flashtool?

If you want a practically guaranteed method of rooting, yes that would be easiest. FTFs only come out like 1-2 weeks at most after the update is sent out anyway
Hi Guys ,
can I unroot to get warranty back? Never ever flashed a custom rom nor I unlcoked bootloader.. Furthermroe I want to know If rooting is verfifable?
Thanks in advance!
As long as you don't tell them I guess. However if you need to unlock your bootloader too for any reason they will need to know and thus it will invalidate your warranty. If you just want root etc then it should not be an issue. It's more of a moral issue really. If you do a repair in PC Companion it will return the phone to factory defaults and they should not be able to tell.
btw root doesn't void the warranty..you can still claim the warranty even if your phone is rooted.

Not strictly true, Sony don't recommend rooting hence no official way to root..... So yes you would lose your warranty but flash using pc companion and root is gone.
Unlocking bootloader will lose your warranty either officially our by unofficial ways.

I think that is good place to ask:
how far I can go without touching bootloader? root - ok, I know.
But CWM, flashing zips/ROMs? Yep, there is so many tutorials, for so many versions and cases. I'm unable to read everything and need answer from someone who 'just know it'
even if ur phone is not rooted unlocking bootloader voids ur warranty .. U can always get ur warranty back by flashing generic firmware using flashtool....... And ofcourse u can relock it using flashtool...

hey tigerstylezz..
dude, you can root your phone without unlocking bootloader..and unlocking boot loader voids your warranty,
go to google and search how to root arc s without unlocking bootloader..there will be a forum from androidauthority.com..just go to that one
root your arc s using the method..this will not void warranty or unlock your bootloader..it will still be locked..
so now download a app from the market called xparts..specially made for xperia phones...open it and it will ask for superuser permissions..
select allow..and then install custom recovery using the app..now that you have custom recovery installed, you can now install a few custom roms to your xperia arc s like jelly sanwhich...just skip the flashing kernel part in instructions of installation of rom..now flash rom using custom recovery..unlocking your bootloader only allows you to flash new kernels...so some roms work on stock ics kernel of xperia arc s
some of those roms are..jj's hybrid rom, jelly sandwhich, xperia ice bean and search more roms that work on locked bootloader on arc s on xda forums..and if you wish to unlock your bootloader.. you just do that and then you can unlock it by flashing a .ftf file on your device..just search it on google as xperia arc s relock bootloader.ftf file and download it and flash it through xperia flashtool...
if any problem or a quetion just ask me ...
plzz hit thanks if i helped:cyclops::cyclops:

Flashing zips (which contain themes/mods) with cwm you only need root.
There are very limited roms available that will install with unlocked bootloader,I think only pureness Rom is available, you need unlocked bootloader to install custom kernels which the custom roms support.

Thanks for all the Answers - Yes I know that unlocking Bootloader and Rooting are two different things... I just asked if it is verfifable by Sony if you had rooted your device? Isn´t there any Hidden file saved in the Ramdisk or whether where it saves the Permission Lock? And if not - during the UPDATE Process ON SEUS OR PCCompanion - don´t they SAVE any .Log or something and send it to the Servers, with the IMEI? I knot that I can just usually flash back and things.. Just wanted to know if Sony can find out that I ve rooted ?
BTW: For root .587 I have to flash a kernel (FTF) Downgrade - and then Root - and Upgrade it. So you can Flash Kernels.
I just come from the X10 --> Arc S which is way better I think( Still love the X10 , but Arc S my new love)
@wzordnaec
You can flash Themes etc.. which are realiable to your curent ROm - you can flash MODS , apps everything , that doesnt requires Unlocked bootloader

if you rooted your phone without unlocking the bootloader just flash a clean firmware to get back your warranty
if you unlocked the bootloader then there is no chance to get back your warranty

Hi All,
Nice info.
Although I've been on some scenario where my handset wont boot up, so I cant revert my ROM & relock my bootloader.
Turns out it was hardware failure and after fixing it, the tech guy found I was using custom ROM, hence my waranty were void
I have just updated my Sony Xperia S from 6.1.A.0.2.45 to 6.1.A.0.2.55 via PC companion, after the update I wanted to root my phone again too allow some apps to have root access. As I went to check to see if my phone was rooted I noticed that it wasn't for my apps weren't allowed super user. I then attemted to root via Bin4ry like I did previously in version .45. It didn't work.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if it has been resolved without having to unlock the bootloader / install a custom kernel, I don't want to do either of those, I just want root. Has anyone been able to root on .55 on Stock sony ICS firmware .55?

I've been reading around and they've said Bin4ry's root method hasn't yet been updated too root .55 firmware I guesss we'll have to wat :< I hope someone posts in this thread when it's released.
yup updated mine too. now i have to restart all mods,hahahaha..but the problem is the root, will try to unlock again then install custom kernel then stock kernel to gain root, then relocked again.
Simple, downgrade to .40 , root it, install CWM, download prerooted .55 system, flash via CWM , connect to flashtool, flash stock .55 ftf only kernel and baseband ...

TrackID works after unlocking and relocking bootloader? I thougt it stops working because of loosing DRM-KEYS while unlocking a bootloader.

Download music info works again if you relock you BL, but TrackID (I think) and FB music likes via Walkman will not work anymore, so it's your decision if you want to lose that functions.
and lose your waranty... for this i rootet with my way...
Hello,
I'm one of those lucky guys who got the 2.55 build number.
Wandered around the forum for some time, seeking for a way to root my phone, but don't want to risk before being 99% sure that this may work.
As I understood, Bin4ry's method won't work with my phone, which results in need of unlocking the bootloader.
I checked its status and it shows that its Unlockable = Yes.
Now, let's say I unlock the bootloader, what should I do next? Flash a prerooted ROM?
All I could've found on forums was "UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER" and "BIN4RY'S METHOD" stuff. Maybe because people were posting about this 2.55 thing alot. Maybe not.
All I need is a n00b friendly tutorial.
Btw, I'm on 4.0.4 ICS, which is pretty obvious.
Thank you, in advance.

Unlock your bootloader and just flash an auto rooting kernel.
But if you're unlocking the bootloader you may as well flash a Jellybean rom anyway

Hi, I hope the OP doesn't mind, but I'm kinda in the same situation and I need some help from you guys, because I am currently a Samsung owner (please don't throw rocks ) and I don't really know much about flashing ROM's on Sony.
So... I have with me my brother-in-law's Xperia S with 6.1.A.0.453 (ICS 4.0.4), never been tampered with, just bought, updated to ICS and rooted with Bin4ry's method.
All great, but I was hoping to flash 6.1.A.2.55, because I heard it is the latest.
But now the hard part comes, the phone has Locked Bootloader and I can't unlock it because "Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status > Bootloader unlock allowed" says NO.
That being said, if I flash the .55, how do I root it?
I updated and rooted an Xperia U a while back, using a method of changing the kernels, something like this:
Flashing the ROM I want (the one that can't be rooted)
Flashing an older kernel from a stock Rom witch was rootable
Root it
Flash the kernel of the last ROM, and root remains.
Do you guys thing that this method will work on Xperia S?
Flashing .55
Flashing an old kernel (from 6.1.A.2.45 or other that can be rooted)
Root it
Flashing the kernel of .55 again, and hoping that the Root remains.
Also, where could I find those kernels?

If you haven't flash any custom kernel, try this:

Dude,
Most Xperia S custom roms for unlocked bootloader come with root and a custom kernel.
If you want to remove the root you would have to flash a stock rom using flashtool or relock the bootloader and then flash the stock rom using either PC companion or Seus.
To be honest I don't understand why your friend would want to run an unrooted custom Rom.
Hope this helps.
