Hello XDA.
I'm here to inform you that I have managed to root my Sony Xperia S (lt26i) with towelroot v3, I used the "fix it yourself feature".
EDIT:
Android-version: 4.1.2
Firmware: 6.2.B.1.96
Everything stock!
Proof (check the modstring!):

I hope it works for you guys too (afaik towelroot v1 and v2 didn't work on Xperia S)
Confirmed!
Confirmed to also work on the AT&T Xperia ION with the LT28h firmware using above code.
Confirmed (Xperia S 6.2.B1.96)
Thanks for the info twistahh.
I just rooted my Xperia S (6.2.B1.96) also with "fix it yourself feature" using as your screenshot shown, "1337 0 0 0 4 0" :highfive:

It is an option when rooting, as stated on the website. Just have a look on the link on the first post
Worked on my stock Xperia S without "fixing it myself"! Previous versions didn't.

What's so difficult to go to that side and download it from there? It's only one click more.

hi XDA,
i Am using sonyericsson xperia pro (mk16i) i want to root it,
someone pls tell me will i get offcial ICS update using Sony PC Companion after getting rooted.
Root only? Yes
if you only root your phone, without unlock your bootloader, you can use pcc or update service to repair/update fw.
Ya sure. BTW anyone knows when ICS update is rolling out for pro.

Yea you can't root build .62 using the zergrush or super click method. To do that you need to downgrade to. 42 or unlock your bootloader.

Q.Will it work on HDPI\MDPI
A.Maybe,changed xml's for hdpi,mdpi resources but don't have devices to test
Q.Will it work on non xperia device?

Yes, Xperia ZL NAM C6506 LTE, on 4.2.2 but Root Gone. Will need a new 4.2.2 kernal w/ recovery to get root back.

It came up for me on PCC for my C6506...but I'll hold off and wait a day or two for the OTA, I stand a better chance of maintaining root that way. PCC is a definite root kill.
All right Sony. it makes up for my Ion...
I'll build the FTF for the C6506 once it's done downloading and post a link. The blob folder in the Mac is insane
/Users/havanahjoe/Library/Application Support/Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac/semc_update_engine/Sony Ericsson Update Engine.app/Contents/MacOS/Users/havanahjoe/Library/Application Support/Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac/semc_update_engine/db/13740270/blob_fs
I already have it. Is a nice upgrade.
XPERIA ZL C6506
FTF is ready if anyone is interested
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42785007#post42785007
Updating through the Sony Bridge was pretty painless. Now only waiting for the root update from DooMLoRD that will work with the C6506 without having to flash the C6503 kernel first.
Today i tried to update my zl with ota but it fails
