U must unlock bootloader first search Google bro
No! For Ice Bean you don't need a unlocked bootloader. You only need root. I had it also on my phone before i unloicked my bootloader and it's the best rom for locked bootloader try it :laugh:

to know which kernel your using got settings--->about
if your on stock rom and you have never flashed any kernel or rom then its the stock sony kernel.
if you want to slash the rom in link just follow the instructions on OP no need to unlock your bootloader for INSTALLING Custom ROM, you need to unlock it mostly for changing to custom kernel (there maybe other exploits to bypass DRM but i dont know of them)
Yep, but for a kernelchange u need unlocked bootloader.

"Always working" method is flash 6.1.A.2.50 with Flashtool (without wiping anything, except if you wish) and root with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Rooting itself is done in 5 minutes. Flashing? Also 5 mins.
6.1.A.2.55 firmware is not rootable, you can just flash prerooted .55 rom in CWM, but for that you still need rooted .50.

Youre on Xperia Ion, rom 6.1.E.3.7 rite? If bootloader unlocked, just flashing the GI Kernel should work...
Have you tapped the sony logo during boot ?? Tap it as much as you can and see what happens...
Btw how do you flash it? Flashtool ?

Aha Bin4ry tool , i am using it for along time but it can't root this new version.
Now i am using a pre rooted rom , but i will still like to know how to root the stock one.​
If the stock GI kernel dont work for you...Try the OC kernel with root...Just try it as it will give root permission or not...
Or maybe you can try deodexed stock rom rooted....If still dont work, then just wait for the dev to make new way to gain root

It's stock but from the Deodexed thread , and it's working perfectly.​
did you get your pre-rooted stock rom from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055043 ?
if not would you please guide me to where you got it from ? is it working well and fast for you ?
a side question ... before you get a rooted rom did you face any problems with connecting to Wifi-networks while having middle eastern sim inserted?
thank you in advance .

First I used FlashTools, to flash .96 Firmware. I felt really well
After that i try with Leopardx 4.9 ROM. I use it 2 or 3 months because i dont like it, had too much bugs in WALKMAN. (but was fast)
Now i wanna use Carbon ROM or NatureExperia Advance.
