You don't need to install superuser.zip. TWRP has a builtin rooting function.
After going to recovery for the first time and when you reboot, it will install su & superuser.
what about lockedbootloader device?

Lool i didn't get that on my mind! But to install root we need to turn the phone up then open SuperSU installer , so flashing superuser.zip maybe fastest and easyier!

No image tutorial. Plain text.
DRM keys are Digital Rights Management keys. You will lose these when you unlock your bootloader. TrackID and some other (not really important) Sony apps won't work.
So, first, go to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and download the tools needed.
There you have all the steps needed to unlock bootloader.
After you've unlocked bootloader head down to the CWM thread and download the flashable file. You have the instructions at the thread.
Flash CWM and the phone will boot in CWM mode now. Remember to put the ROM you want to flash on sdcard, or put kernel.sin file so you can boot back in the system.
Download the Root.zip flashable file for cwm (you'll find it in most of the root threads), and put it in the root of storage.
Then flash the CWM through fastboot, and the phone will boot in CWM recovery.
Navigate to "Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard -> "root.zip" (use the volume buttons to navigate and power to select).
Select Yes and your phone will be rooted.
If you want, you can download a kernel like Advanced ICS which will autoroot your phone when you flash it.
If you don't flash another kernel, then power off the device and boot into fastboot mode, and flash kernel.sin.
Your phone will boot into the system and will be rooted

That's not how you unlock bootloader, that's how you check if your bootloader is unlockable. Head over to Bootloader Unlock thread and unlock your bootloader, then flash a CWM recovery through fastboot, and flash a kernel which will root your device.
There is Jelly Bean for our device, AOKP, CM10, PA etc etc.. Use the search button!

Hi, I have been following your post for rooting my Xperia S with latest firmware. So while I was following your steps, my phone has stuck at Sony logo after Step 5 . Event after hard reset my phone was still stuck at Sony logo. So, I finally flashed .50 ICS rom using flashtool to bring my phone in working condition nearly after waiting for half an hour. Pcarvalho, can you please help me with this? I really need to root my phone with latest firmware. I am kind of new to all this rooting concepts. I have followed all the steps till Step 5. Please help asap. Thanks in advance.

Hi all
I'm on stock JB .200 and I want to flash the prerooted .211 that doomlord posted but I cant go into recovery... I've tried a lot of things (vol up, vol down, vol up + tap, vol down + tap) and nothing happens. I was able to boot into recovery with stock ICS but not now...
Is there a way to install a recovery WITHOUT root and WITH a blocked bl?
Thanks!
The .200 official jelly bean for xperia s that you flashed doesnt provide a recovery directly .... you have to flash a kernel with recovery which has been provided by DooMLoRD in the same post ... you can flash d kernel as instructed ! den u can enter d recovery mode !
Hit THANKS if I helped you

Connect your device to PC in fastboot mode, flash kernel.elf, reboot into recovery, flash SuperSU.zip, that's it!

i guess the ROM that DooMLoRD has provided is already prerooted ... and though You dont need root to flash the kernel !!! just install the busybox on .200 ROM then follow the instructions given by DooMLord to flash kernel on the locked bootloader... then boot you can boot into recovery !

in step 3 you must uncheck some thing in flashtool but i forgot them ...
instead you can use unlocking your bootloader and then flash stock pre-rooted kernel and install SU on your rom...
(its very easier than your way)

If you're going to use Stock ROM
if you flashed back .587 ftf, you probably left all .sin checked. You should have unchecked kernel.sin, No final verification unchecked.
Reflash custom kernel. If still no root, flash flashable zip in SuperSU thread
If you're going to use a custom ROM
Just flash respective kernel, wipe data,cache,dalvik,system in CWM and install rom. No need to root .587, flashing .587 is for increasing partition only(in case).

If your BL is unlocked you should download Rom and kernel that you want
rom must be .zip and you should place it in sd card
kernel must be .img or .elf
and kernel Wi-Fi modules must be .zip and you should place it on SD too
then you download QuickIMG tool and place the kernel in images folder of it
then turn off phone and hold menu key and plug usb cable
LED would be blue
then you open QuickIMG and choose your kernel and flash it
then turn on phone
when the led is blue you should press Vol down key
then you enter CWM
do:
-wipe date
-wipe cache
-mount and storage > format/system
-advanced> wipe dalvick cache
then install zip and choose Rom
then install zip and choose Wi-fi modules
reboot...

CM10 you say then you need a custom JB kernel, like Fusion,Lupus or nAa kernel, or whatever kernel you want.
You don't need X-Parts. There are many tutorials out there. But I'll just help you.
Download kernel and paste to pc, in any folder.
1) Flash .587 ftf
2) Flash custom kernel (with phone off, hold menu button, connect to pc. Go to Flashtool, then click the thunderlike button, select fastboot mode, select kernel to flash, point to kernel file)
3) Boot, then repetitively press back button to boot to CWM. If lupus kernel, it is volume down.
4) wipe data,cache,dalvik cache,system
5) Install ROM
