If i am sure Xperia S and Xperia SL are the same devices, only difference is Cpu clock(S-1.5 Ghz SL-1.7 Ghz) So i think its the same relock way as with Xperia S.

I am pretty sure that the relocking ftf file over here works for S and SL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
Also, before you relock, just be sure to flash stock ics first with Flashtool and then flash the relocking ftf file.
Btw, you can still update to official JB with an unlocked bootloader. Once someone receives the update in his/her country, the ftf file will be made and released here for everyone. Also, Sony has their official Flashtool for unlocked bootloader devices.

Yes. You Can Flash Relock ftf. Both Are Same Device With Different Clock Speed.
It should not create any issue.
USING FLASHTOOL
First Flash The ICS (Exclude TA in Options)
Then, Flash The FTF Relock (Include TA in options)

Hello Guys
I saw this custom rom ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599906
so my question is if I installed this ICS custom rom
and I didn't like it can I back to the original firmware via flashtool ?
and does this custom room needs unlocked bootloader .
Thanks
If its an ICS you will need a kernel, so you will need an unlocked boot loader to flash the kernel, every time you see this rom requires this kernel, you will need an unlocked bootloader

Once i tried to update my arc from GB to ICS 4.0.4 i had unlocked bootloader,so i had to lock the bootloader and then update via PC Compenion.Don't use those just use FlashTool for flashing FW and find 4.1.b.0.587 .tft file so you can flash it with FlahsTool.Try googleing for FlashTool for Xperia Arc and follow the tutorial,you'll get it.Good luck.Cheers

Bootloader has nothing to do with rooting, it will not affect it.
And you don't have to unroot.

How did you lock the bootloader ?
I have unlocked it for my "Sony Xperia U", but now I need to lock it again for updating.
Could you send a simple way for locking ?
Thanks.
I mount a prejudice currently cm10 (with unlocked bootloader), but I would like to go back to 4.0.4 Xperia, as when I bought .. I know that to do this I have to install the file. ftf from flashtool, I have to clear something to avoid having the FOTA brick unlocked bootloader? where can I find the original ftf file?
Flashtool don't need to relock bootloader. But if you want to relock bootloader, there are tutorials on this forum that show you how.

Well, if there is someone who rooted their SONY XPERIA S with JB ROM .200 please let me know, and how you did it, without downloading some heavy MB tools. Thanks. I have locked bootloader but it can be unlocked.
Try using DoomLord's script in Development Forum. I rooted my Xperia using that script and everything went fine.
I've tried, it says at some point that my phone is not supported, the model with ROM .200 only with .211

It might be a .200 bug. Why don't you try to upgrade to .211?? It may fix that problem...
In PC Companion is not yet . So any other way to do it, I Don't know.
Same problem
I have the same problem, I used to root using Bin4ry's method, but that no longer works, and I can't upgrade to .211 as it's not available in the UK.
This ROM .200 is full of bugs, but for me the most annoying is that the 2G is not working well when connecting to the internet.
I'm waiting for the official .211 if I cannot root it.

Hello ....
I had the same problem, mine was also *200 built Jelly Bean, I tried every exploit to root I could, spent all day messing with it, I did not succeed, I couldn't even get into fastboot or any method to enable me to flash this pre rooted ROM as it's zip format not ftf.
I eventually managed to soft brick my Xperia S, then I down graded to ICS, and rooted that very easy indeed, so I'm staying on ICS for the time being, didn't notice any vast improvements with Jelly Bean update anyway, and the phone works great now, I know with the version how to flash if I want too.
Hope this helps? .............................

I suggest you to first unlock your bootloader via the easy tool described at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613
then flash the Doomkernel with the flashtool booting at fastboot mode. Before doing that never forget to install the necessary drivers.
The kernel is preloaded with custom recovery CWM and TWRP. While booting when you see doom logo pressing at 'vol +' you'll get CWM and pressing at camera button you'll get TWRP.
And flash the su and busybox package via recovery (CWM or TWRP)
for flashtool http://androxyde.github.io/
for kernel and su & busybox package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305591
& then enjoy Rooted jelly bean
ALL THE BEST !
I'll try. 'hope it works.
SONY XPERIA S
Nope. Not working. It's best to leave the phone as it is.
SONY XPERIA S
Well I managed to unlock my bootloader. Now i'm stuck on how to root it. any ideas?
First of all check your bootloader status.
*#*#7278423#*#* and then service info>configuration. If your bootloader is unlocked, it says 'bootloader unlocked = yes
And be sure that after installing the drivers you successfully connected the phone at fastboot mode. Long press volume + while connecting usb cable to PC. Flashing tool must detect your device.
After unlocking your bootloader rooting will never be problem.
And do it properly, this method definately works but you must be sure your bootloader is unlockable and unlocked also.
