Please ask questions about the 'how to root thread' in that thread. Also read the thread not just post, your question has been answered.
Good luck

That thread is hard to follow, it's kind of all over the place!
I use this. In step 2 it says select option 1, it should be 2. Select option 2 and run it. SIMPLE!

What I was meaning by my post is that, you should ask your question in the thread that has the Original Post(OP) issue. You could post your issues about clearing up the steps in the OP, in the thread that everyone reads for information. You should post your own steps in that thread also.
chances are someone else will have the same issue and you will be able to help.
You could PM the author of the OP for the thread with some helpful suggestions or even re-write it as an example.
no offence was intended, just help.

The link for rooting GB/ICS is below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29713944&postcount=1
The OP of that thread clearly says there are three methods and the third method is supposed to be easiest, then why would one want to got to other options. If one is using ICS he is supposed to use 3rd method
I don't see what is there so difficult to follow or confusing and more over every one here helps out each other. You just need to post in correct section.
I don't know how long you have been in this forum, but the thread was started when we had just GB and no rooting method and it has been updated as and when we got better rooting methods.
The problem with all the new arrivals into this forum is that they do not have patience to read through the posts.
Every one is after INSTANT NIRVANA
Closed thread. Question was answered
Hi everyone, I'm sorry if this has been answered before as I've actually found many threads but they all seem to redirect to the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
My questions is as follows; using the method above, how can I update an Xperia S that is already rooted without loosing root? The thread above seems to explain how to root altogether, but I just want to update and keep the root. Thanks in advance for any help provided. My Xperia S is on 6.1.A.0.452 and I'd like to have 6.1.A.2.45. I've also seen people talk about JellyBean but as far as I know that's not available on the Xperia S until February, how are these people getting it?
.45 and .50 can be rooted...

Could I bother you with a guide based on the method shown in the following link? I would really appreciate it. I'm totally a noob, but I learn really fast, so guidance for this rookie will guarantee you that I will learn to do things on my own. Thanks!

Just use the binary root tool at the top of the development forum

Search.
I don't think . 55 (stock) can be rooted as of now.. Though I have seen some Pre -Rooted .55 stock Rom here in XDA..
The only way to root. 55 is to flash the Pre-Rooted .55 Rom..
There are at least two threads on how exactly how one does it.
I would know, I did it myself by searching, not expecting everyone to spoon-feed me the answers.

Please take a look into which forum you post a new thread in. If you're thread starts with a question OR is asking for some help troubleshooting, it belongs in the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.

Just got my ZL and I must say (till now) this phone is kickass. As you might have imagined, I cannot wait to root it, but I have also seen talk of an update on the XDA forums, I have been through tons of threads on both rooting and upgrading, but am still a bit confused.
My ZL has the follwoing specs:
Model C6506
Firmware; 10.1.A.1.434
Android OS: 4.1.2
So the question is, which is the best way to go for rooting/updating the software?? Thanks

Personally, i would do the following :
1. Update the official way via Sony PC Companion, which should bring you to Firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244
2. Follow one of the guide to root.
3. With it rooted, install CWM / TWRP.
This is my preferred method, others may do otherwise.
Thanks.

This is not a question that should clog up a dedicated development section. That's what the general section's for.
Question don't belong in Development, thread moved to Q&A.
Thanks
Sorry for posting in the wrong section.... I'll give takagen's suggestion a try. I'l llet you know. Thanks.
Tried updating via PC companion but no updated firmware available. Any way to force the update or flash it?? Thanks.
Nevermind. Im reading doomlords thread.

That depends on your setup....you can simply flash any 4.4.2 Based ROM in Development PREVIEW by team d3rp or Team 420's OpTimuS, but you will need to make sure that you have the KK based modem....found in Autoprime's thread. The instructions for everything are the threads....That's all I got.

Typically, questions are not posted in the development section, this is something that could have simply been searched for, even from a phone...There are different sections to the Sprint G2...<<<---this is a link!!!

Well you completely avoided the rest of the reply where I gave you enough info for you to READ and FIND things on your own.....

Again, you have failed to clearly state what you mean by, "unlocked", which also is the main reason why you're still over here asking questions in the wrong section of the forum...
The link provided to you is the latest Official Sprint release Stock and Rooted...direct questions regarding that ROM to that specific thread.

If I avoid all of the reply you gave me was because all does threats you post, was for CUSTOM roms where you have to root and instal no official things on your phone.....What I need is CLEAN OFFICIAL STOCK FIRMWARES. Thats what I am asking for.
No offense but he was trying to help you stating that you're in the wrong section of the forums to ask this. He directed you to where you could go to ask these things and even offered an alternative. Quite frankly he went above and beyond to help you considering this section is only for custom ROM development. You should direct yourself over to the Q&A section of the forum for these things where you'll get whatever help it is you're seeking which sounds like what you need is to just use the latest .tot and call it a day. I'm going to report this thread to have it moved. It really doesn't belong in this section dude.
