I got it to work now. took me a second try.
"edit. And now i have the phone rooted. I love this forum.
Great, thanks!!!
Is this root persistent? I.e. is it likely that it will survive the 2.3.4 upgrade coming soon?

First unlock the bootloader the SE way.
Then flash the rage kernel with flash tool and you are automatically rooted.

It worked for me with .62..

Here's one, works for all roms, it's the one I used, but you need to have your bootloader unlocked so you can flash kernel and custom roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500226
first of all thanks for the answer so quick.
but in the XROM post the user alifdroid says it isn't necessary to be bootloader unlocked. just use his kernel i supose to do this it is necessary to have the bootloader unlock right?
Now that you mention it, there's one rom wich doesn't require bootloader unlocked, but forgot the name, not sure if it's that one, lemme check
Edit:
Found this one, but i guess it's not the same you say, so idk if that one can work w/o bootlader unlocked :

Bootloader can be unlocked only 2 ways. Service shops will likely ask money. Relocking is actually easier than unlocking.

Good day, XDA. I'd like to ask help with regards to rooting my Xperia S. I have recently bought this and it got shipped with ICS 4.0.4 and build number 6.1.A.0.45 and I updated its build number to 6.1.A.2.45. I have also unlocked its bootloader successfully. Now I'm having problems on how to root this. I've read certain posts regarding ICS rooting and they all state that it has to have 6.1.A.0.45 build number. But I don't know how to rollback to the previous build number. What should I do?? Please help..

Also, you can never brick your device on LOCKED bootloaders so don't worry

So essentially you are just replacing a stock kernel by a rooted kernel. What if I want to go back to the unrooted kernel?

Just get the relocking ftf from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335
Flash it in flashtool and then flash a clean stock .587 ics rom. Then try updating with SEUS. It should update. Many people said that they have done this. I have tried it, and the tool didn't give me any error about modified software or anything. Good luck.

Relock the bootloader... And flash stock ftf then you can update officially. :thumbup:
PREDATOR95 ->->->->a.k.a. ->-> predatOr
Hmmm...there are actually a way around it...Sony has a beta version of flash tool that can flash stock firmware from sony website on unlock bootloader....that mean you dont have to relock your bootloader if you want to flash stock firmware....but since it's still in beta, our xperia lineup is not supported yet but you can request to add our xperia line up for next release....
you can have a look HERE or HERE...
Thanks for all the replies. The phone is still on standard sony firmware tho, just with an unlocked bootloader. Next try is relocking I guess.

If the firmware you want is available as an ftf, it will be easiest to flash with flashtool. Then no relocking or anything else.
I've decided to root my phone... as far as I know I won't lose my warranty If I'll be rooted right?
So All I want is just root permissions... NO custom ROMS or Kernels.
I am using GB stock 6.0.B.3.184 firmware android 2.3.7
So Do I need to unlock my bootloader to root? Or I can proceed without doing that?
And could someone provide me with link how to root Xperia Sola with GB stock firmware?
Thank's

You can root without unlocking your bootloader. Bootloader need to be unlocked only if you want to flash custom kernels or roms like cm9,cm10, miui etc.

This one says It needs fastboot, so do I really need to unlock bootloader?
How hard is it..? To unlock bootloader, As far as I know it can be done at Sony homepage, Whats the advantage of unlocking it and do it has any cons... already know that it means lost wariaty, and that's a risk.
And finally can bootloader be locked again? To make everything as it used to be?
