Thats strange..
You are in a Ported JB rom in ur Xperia U.. without a custom kernel you cant flash JB in XU... So probably u should installed a custom kernel... Right ? So u should hav root too....
Try Experimental kernel v 11.c for xperia U JB from Android Development thread of XU

umm...not really..flashing a kernel has nothing to do with root...you need an unlocked bootloader...not root...i am sure there are root methods available for lower versions of your device...one thing u can do....flash an old kernel for which root method is available(eg : ICS or GB) then after root flash back the JB kernel(stock or custom),upto you/..

Ha ? Custom kernels have auto root and cwm /twrp included my friend.. And the one he telling that experimental kernel for XU JB is already have Autoroot and Cwm recovery...
Did u read his question clearly? According to his comment he is already on JB on XU.. There is no way to install JB on a locked bootloader in XU.. So probably he is in a Unlocked Bootloader and sure with a custom kernel too.. Thats y i told him to flash Experimental kernel v11.c.. Got it?

Custom kernels dont have auto-root and CWM/TWRP always(it all depends on the dev who is packing it). and there is nothing called a pre-rooted kernel. You dont root your kernel buddy,you root your ROM. Pre-rooted kernels(usually bundled alone) have a script packed with its ramdisk that roots the ROM you are running. Same goes for recovery. I can show you plenty of kernels which has all the features of Overclocking,I/O schedulers,governors etc without CWM but you need a rooted ROM . So a developer who is providing an entire ROM usually pre-roots the ROM and provides a custom kernel(usually no pre-root feature but in insecure mode). while someone who provides only a kernel to work with other roms provides a pre-rooted kernel. And even i said the same thing. I said you dont need root to flash a kernel. You need an unlocked bootloader(that also depends, There are ROMS and kernels which don't need unlocked B/L)
Yes what you mean is correct. The ROM he has installed should have root access( I mistook it for official JB firmware)
@Dark Wraith better we can leave this discussion here.. Because we both are arguing.. But where is the OP ? So its just a time waste for both of us...
And i know custom kernels should need an unlocked bootloader....

Hello XDA.
I am a grt fan of the forum first of all thanks to all who contributed here.
I had a Sony Ericsson W8 E16i, its was a piece of Gem with the nAa CM9 ICS on it thanks to all the guides, Kernels, ROMs and Mods that made my phone smooth and Agile.
Now i have my new Xperia Arc S LT18i which is SIM unlocked and i have just unlocked the boot loader. Now i want to root my phone. I have searched all the threads about rooting, which were mostly of Easyroot Kit, Doom lord's Method of Rooting. I have tried almost all the methods, but i am still unable to root my phone. In one of the threads it was advised to downgrade from 4.0.2.B.0.62 to 4.0.2.A.0.62 via flashing it with flash tool. I did it and tried to root, still no luck. Can any body please help me rooting my device?
Current settings on my phone.
Android 2.3.4
Build No - 4.0.2.A.0.62
There is no such firmware as 4.0.2.B.0.62. It doesn't exist at all.
You have to downgrade from 4.0.2.A.0.62 to 4.0.2.A.0.58 or older(.58 or smaller).
Also, if you have unlocked bootloader, you can just install custom kernel, which already includes autoroot, so if you install that kernel, ROM automatically gets rooted.
FIrst of all, you cannot root .62 in any way or the other........you need to downgrade it to .42 first...this your normal procedure would have been
Searching for following
1)how to downgrade from .62 to .42
2)how to root .42
But you have the greatest advantage of an unlocked boot loader hence, you can directly flash a compatible kernel (e.g doom kernel v19) and then flash a rom.....thus you have a custom kernel that supports overclocking and also a superb rom(e.g acronium 8.2) along with extremely battery efficient system andof course root....
can you screenshot the Firmware?

Installing custom kernel, which has autoroot in it, gives you root access on any ROM version.

Hi All,
I have a rooted ICS Arc (4.1.B.0.431) with a locked bootloader. What is a good, fast kernel for it ? Thanks in advance.
Call me silly, but you the entire benefit of unlocking your bootloader is the ability to flash custom kernels. Therefore...locked bootloader means no custom kernel.
I'm no guru....so please, anyone, correct me if I'm wrong here...

I am unable to update to FW.587 OTA. The update center downloads the update and fails to update upon reboot (get an error here). I suppose my only option due to this is to flash the official .587 kernel. If I need to flash a kernel, why not a 'better' kernel ?
Then U Flash A FTF ,
Because For ME OTA Sucks !
Don't upgrade to .587. Lags too much, I went back to .431.
Kernel-wise, unlock your bootloader then try ArcKnight 3.5.1 or SEGA Kernel V3 Army edition.

No! For Ice Bean you don't need a unlocked bootloader. You only need root. I had it also on my phone before i unloicked my bootloader and it's the best rom for locked bootloader try it :laugh:

to know which kernel your using got settings--->about
if your on stock rom and you have never flashed any kernel or rom then its the stock sony kernel.
if you want to slash the rom in link just follow the instructions on OP no need to unlock your bootloader for INSTALLING Custom ROM, you need to unlock it mostly for changing to custom kernel (there maybe other exploits to bypass DRM but i dont know of them)
Yep, but for a kernelchange u need unlocked bootloader.
Hi guys:
Just i want to know how to root xperia ion on 6.1.E.3.7 with unlocked bootloader , i tried to use the pre rooted kernel but it didn't work for some devices like what the developer of it.

Youre on Xperia Ion, rom 6.1.E.3.7 rite? If bootloader unlocked, just flashing the GI Kernel should work...
Have you tapped the sony logo during boot ?? Tap it as much as you can and see what happens...
Btw how do you flash it? Flashtool ?

Aha Bin4ry tool , i am using it for along time but it can't root this new version.
Now i am using a pre rooted rom , but i will still like to know how to root the stock one.
If the stock GI kernel dont work for you...Try the OC kernel with root...Just try it as it will give root permission or not...
Or maybe you can try deodexed stock rom rooted....If still dont work, then just wait for the dev to make new way to gain root

It's stock but from the Deodexed thread , and it's working perfectly.
did you get your pre-rooted stock rom from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055043 ?
if not would you please guide me to where you got it from ? is it working well and fast for you ?
a side question ... before you get a rooted rom did you face any problems with connecting to Wifi-networks while having middle eastern sim inserted?
thank you in advance .

Hi! I can't root or flash CWM on my Ion too. Can you post the link to the ROM you're using?
Hey everyone
I have the c1905
I know this must be possible as the ZNXT rom is stock kernel compatible (only one i can find that is though). I've searched but can't seem to find a way around!
My BL is "unlock allowed - no". The problem is i just can't find a way to install a recovery on 4.3.
I can use the install.bat on 4.1.2 + 4.2 to get recovery but can't install ZNXT as it needs 4.3 kernel.
My most recent attempt was to install 4.3 stock and then install 4.1.2 stock using flashtool and excluding the kernel which leaves me unable to boot 4.1.2. I can repeat the procedure using 4.2 for c2005 but i know it's not gonna work.
I found the "SXDXMZ1" rom that was available as pushable and in zip but there's no download links. I've googled it but now had to disinfect my pc as all the links are virused up.
Has anybody got around this or does anyone know of a rom that is compatible with 4.1.2 or 4.2 stock kernel? I can't seem to find one!

i think if you get some kernel that will compatible for your rom. that's will not be installed correctly too bro, custom kernel need bootloader is on unlocked condition bro. so they can be read and work correctly when in boot time

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't get it!! The ZNXT rom says it's LB/stock kernel compatible and even gives instructions to install on LB/stock kernel . What's the point if there's no way to install it from 4.3?? How do the creators know it's compatible if they can't install it?? And how come i can get recoveries on 4.1.2 and 4.2 if they need unlocked BL? I'm very confused here!

Best i can do is give you the ZNXT image extracted from the zip (attached). It's in there i believe. I had to rezipp it as it exceeded xda size rules
I understand them 4.1.2 + 4.3 recoveries were compiled by certain members who are no longer working on the project But this rom stil claims it works with stock kernel/LB

The one i just posted is for the ZNXT v1.01 which i get error status 7 when trying to install via 4.1.2/4.2 stock. I can't find the one for version 2 which i can install via aroma but wont boot, which i assume is due to it needing 4.3 kernel.
What about this:
@Nicklas Van Dam
I've just started extracting the system.sin of a stock 4.3 ftf firmware as i was gonna try and get recovery from a 4.3 custom rom (possibly from the ZNXT) and put it in the stock rom.
I thought i'd ask first to see if this is a possibility before i carry on and waste my time. In my mind it works if the recovery in ZNXT (if it has one) runs on a stock kernel.
If i'm correct the recoveries in CM roms all rely on the kernel or are built into the kernel so using them would not really be possible......... would it?
This would be my first attempt at anything on this sort of level, i've only rooted and installed custom roms before so sorry if the question is noobish.
That's why I tell you to unlocked boot loader, if you still on lock boot loader you can only modified system not to much , and you can't modified kernel on locked boot loader condition bro. I've been trying that too -_+
