Hi, when I updated to jelly bean from ice cream sandwich I lost my root and now I can't get it back. I have downloaded the latest "root toolbox" or what ever it's called that you use to root the Xperia devices (this one had tools to root Google glass so it can't be that old). I've ran both normal and the Xperia Z version but non of them worked. Please help, respond to this post or email me, and excuse my bad english... Thanks in advanced!

We can't root JB. You must wait or you should install pre-orderrooted JB.

Of course it will break after the update.
Is there any way I can get an other Rom on it now sins I can't root it?

Flash stock ICS via flashtool.
Root and install CWM.

here's what i've done, thanks to cobrato for the guide.
from stock JB, flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309117 in fastboot
then copy paste http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42005929&postcount=3 to internal storage
reboot into recovery (i use TWRP) to flash it, reboot into system, done.
that's what i've done.
and of course, you must UNLOCK your BL above all steps.
So if the only way I can get root is to flash a custom Rom, should I use CM or the leaked pre rooted Sony version or anything else's. My phone is starting to run priti slow, but I do enjoy Sony's "small apps". Is there any way to get those on CM?

Just download version 7.4 and put on sd card and then flash with cwm. If you want to use version 8.2, you must download 8.0, flash it, download 8.1, flash it, and then download 8.2 and flash it lol. It's quite easy Follow the instructions on the post

Hi,
I m new to the forums.
I have a sony xperia s with a locked bootloader but has been rooted.
i have cwm installed on it and currently have XZXperiance_2 installed.
I would like to go back to the offical ICS 4.0.4 Rom.
The phone says it is still logged as 4.0.4 but with different system on it.
I would like to go back to the origional system because of the official JB Update in the next few weeks.
If some could help me step by step it would be much help =]
I have set it back to factory settings but doesnt go back to the origional system i dont think i backed up the old system =[
Any help would be much appriciatted,
Many Thanks
Dan
Use flashtool from development part of Xperia s forum.
Download it, instal drivers, download ICS 4.0.4 generic world and flash it via flashtool.

Hi everybody !
i just updated my xperia sl from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 ! I want to use on screen buttons rather than its default capacitive buttons.
how can i do that ?
I think its not possible without rooting so is there any idea to root the latest official ROM of sony xperia s or sl ?
thanks in advance !
Yes it would be great, but as I searched the web currently there is not root for Xperia S JB yet. Keep waiting devs won't make us wait for a long time

Just add this to your build.prop at the end -
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Save it and reboot. It works 100%, I tested it myself

Well Doom has clearly stated that this rom can be flashed on locked bootloader too. All he needs right now is stock ics with CWM installed and then he can flash the rom
Plus cwm is available even for locked bootloader now
But CWM is not fully working. And it's outdated version.

Yes, u r exactly right, before updating via SUS, to install pre-rooted JB, I had tried with installed CWM(locked bootloader, stock ICS 4.0.4) downloading that ROM but CWM didn't work properly. Isn't there any other way to get root acess till now @ 6.2.B.0.200 (locked bootloader)?

I added 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' at the end of build.prop, everything is fine but when I open camera, the on screen buttons almost covers the camera buttons. What can I do? Is there any idea? It's really annoying. I had attached the screenshot.
Thanks on advance.

3. Relock bootloader.

1st step is unnecessary, because kernel will be flashed together with firmware anyway. Everything else is correct.

.13 is a branded firmware, only available for some regions.
For every other region, .587 is the newest.
To OP: Checked my files storage.
For Xperia Arc, I found .431. You can install this and then make update to .587 (either OTA or via PC Companion): http://www.mediafire.com/download/pzr6phfd19xgbva/LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.7z
For Xperia Arc S, I found .587 firmware: http://www.mediafire.com/download/rhr59r4o6oarnfx/LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).7z
