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.
Maybe you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2304994

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.

Hello guys! I have a new XSL phone already rooted with .45 FW.
The problem is i cant install CWM on it. My phone is unlocked. I've used ROM manager and XParts but it said its not supported. Tried some CWM installer via PC but to no avail, it said its install but no blue led light when i restart the phone.
I've checked with the installation of kernel with CWM, but they need to be installed via Recovery? what is this recovery?
I really want to read about XSL, unfortunately there is currently no thread yet for this?
hoping someone with XSL can help me.

since your phone is unlocked flash ka speed kernel or advanced stock kernel
His phone is probably sim unlocked, not bootloader unlocked.

Hi, today I tried to update my Xperia S to 6.2.b.0.211 using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302631
But I got a brick which put my phone on a bootloop like the sony logo wouldn't disappear. So I used PC Companion to repair it and now I'm at 6.2.b.0.200 without root.
What I'm asking: Is there any way to root/flash a pre-rooted rom or whatever to have my phone rooted?

Here is very easy and wonderful way !
1. Unlock the bootloader ! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613&nocache=1
2. Download flashtool and install it. http://androxyde.github.io/
3. Download doomkernel and SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE.zip - 1.43 MB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305591
4. Now flash the doomkernel via flashtool and restart the phone. Now when you see cool doomlord logo, pressing at 'volume +' you will get CWM recovery and pressing at camera button you will get TWRP recovery. choose any one of them and flash this 'SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE.zip - 1.43 MB'

seems other keyboard can still e added in setting
but the Xperia Chinese keyboard is missing and i have to flash it myself

i dont think unlocking the bootloader is required as it is a stock rom
btw, doing this will make u lose your bravia engine
u can root official . 200 FW. Your device must be UL, flash with fastboot doomkernel v5 and then you have CWM and root.

WOW! I believe that you can downgrade via flashtool and then root. Downgrading doesn't hurt the phone or it's bootloader. At least that's what happened to the old xperia's.

If your bootloader is locked, you can repair it with Sony's PC Companion program for windows.
If your bootloader is unlocked, your only choice is to use flashtool to flash stock firmware

You have to switch it off first before connecting, then connect while holding back when they ask you to in Flashtool.
Just to be safe, remove the battery and replace it after switching off.

Well first you need a unlocked bootloader.
Then, you have to flash a ICS kernel for an ICS ROM (using fast boot)
LuPuS is a good kernel and is pretty stable too.
After that just install the ROM through CWM.

For a better support you should tell us which kernel are you using, and which ROM you were using before flashing NeXPLay.
If you just made the mistake of installing NeXPay (ICs ROM) on a GB kernel, then you don't need to reset everything with flashtool.
thanks but i just flashed my verizon rom with flashtool and that seems to get me back...
now which custom firmware/rom is the best for R800x?

Depends on how you use your phone. If you are a gamer then you should try a LuPuS kernel and a Gingerbread ROM but if you don't care about gaming then you can try a ICs ROM and which kernel you prefer.
If you need some in choosing one of the many ICs/GB ROMs, just ask
