U can do in both ways. . Either unlock the bootloader.. & flash custom kernel.. Or Stock ics kernel..
OR
Update ur s/w to ics.. , Root it.. , Install cwm recovery. . Then flash the Rom...!:-/

Make sure to have working flashtool and working update service.
Also download at least one applicable ftf file for flashtool.
Make sure that drivers for both tools are in place then you can play with your phone.

If u dont want to unlock the bootloader, then flash any ics stock firmware , install cwm and then flash Ice cream pureness.
If u have already unlockd the BL, flash kernel with cwm first and then flash Pureness rom

Hi just wondering if anybody knows how to debrand the 3 UK Xperia Arc S. I have de-branded an Xperia Play before but I cannot find the approriate files for the Arc S. Any help would be appreciated. 
Thanks

First of all, you should ALWAYS post your doubts in the Q&A forum.
To debrand the phones flash with flashtool any generic firmware, here you have 4.0.4 firmware for the ARC S : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583010
Sorry I am new to XDA and thnak you too i appreciate the help
Once installed and debranded.
look for how to root once you got this you can get rid of all the bloatware that is installed.

Yeah I will do but I have read that currently there's now way to root the 4.0.4 update yet for xperia arc s when i had the Play i used one click root.
Yes , you can root 4.0.4.
You have to flash 4.0.4 ftf, after that you have to flash 4.0.3 kernel ( you have to download 4.0.3 ftf and flash just kernel with flashtools).
After you have your arc/arc s with 4.0.4 rom and 4.0.3 kernel , you use the one click method for the 4.0.3.
After you just need to flash 4.0.4 kernel and you have a full 4.0.4 (rom+kernel) rooted

Hello users i am new to xda and want to root my phone but after some time i have noticed that i dont really have an possible option to do this.
My phone:
SONY Xperia S / Lt26i / 6.1.A.2.55 / Android 4.0.4 ICS / Locked Bootlader / Bootloader unlock allowed: no/
At the beginning i wanted to try the method from "Bin4ry" but it doesn't work with my stock firmware and with the cf too. (i think)
Please help me!

Flash stock firmware like. 50 or. 45 using flashtool in flashmode.This is absolutely safe.Then root & flash cwm.After then flash kernel & baseband of. 55 and flash. 55 rom in cwm.
Press Thanks

Will it not work how they're rooting the new U firmware? Just use flashtool to flash kernel only of the older firmware. Root with binary, then use flashtool to flash kernel only of the latest firmware again?

and what about the warranty? and i heard that flashing down/downgrading is only possible when you have a unlocked bootlader
you can use flashtool even if youre on locked bootloader.
Flashtool is fine for warranty etc as it's only flashing official sony files

Hi there, I have some questions about roms of sony xperia s.

can I use Flashtool to flash these offical firmware ?

1. Get it from Here
2. Yes, sure.
3. ICS17 is the modified stock kernel added more features than stock one
Hold on.......
If you've flashed the ics17 kernel then you've unlocked the bootloader yes?
Then scrap off any ics rom and flash Jellybean

I need official Sony 's rom.
I see. Then flashing the 55 ftf would be best. How come you must have Sony only?
