Why wait? Why don't u do it yourself? If you have an unlocked bootloader then it's pretty much very easy. Just go to the dev section and you will find an easy TUT for rooting devices with unlocked bootloaders. I upgraded my device yesterday then unlocked the bootloader then rooted it. Now I'm running ICS with root and custom kernel so that I can overclock it too. Do it yourself buddy. Don't wait for others to get things done.

Yeah you are right, my Sk17i is okay,but I got black screen with WT19i....
Now can not flash using flash tool. it give flashing error..Any solution?
FTF file cannot be made to a PreRooted one.
If you have rooted GB, you can upgrade to a rooted ICS - i did it thanks to this thread since i wanted to keep my bootloader locked.
If you dont have rooted GB, there are plenty of threads that explain how to do it, basically you would need to downgrade to .58 or .42 and root it using zergrush metod. Afterwards go to that link and flash it to rooted ICS (just follow the steps in that thread)

hi,
i have xperia neo and i rooted it before using DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
i updated software using pc companion to 4.0.2.A.62 i lost root but superuser was still installed
i tried to unroot it and root again but no luck superuser.apk is read only and all rooting methods don't work for me
please help i tried everything even factory reset but the superuser is still there and i can't remove it to root again
P.S: is there any way without needing to flash rom ?
Build .62 is currently unrootable so when you updated the firmware it probably broke it. I think the only way to fix it is to flash the rom.
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
yea you are right..
you must downgrade to .42 for root option..
Thanks guys for the reply.
the problem was solved after i downgraded to .42 and then used FlashTool to root the device if someone had the same problem and wanted to solve it
unfortunately the firmware i downloaded from the form is international version and doesn't have the Arabic language user interface, i will just have to live with it
.62 is rootable, using recovery. You need to flash RootXperia.zip with recovery for locked bootloaders.
Cheers.

When you try to install CWM it says that you need allow root access on the screen, but nothing will happen since you don't have root yet.

Hello and sorry if this has been already asked. I just got my new Xperia Ray and I want to root it, but I can't. I have locked bootloader, android version 2.3.4 and firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62. Tell me exactly what to do cause I am really newbie. Send me links with tutorials to follow if needed.

here for .62
as for unlocking bootloader , use the testpoint method , dont use the official SE method because if you use that method, your phone will brick when you apply the update from them.
With test point, you can get the official sony's ICS update.

I did googled, but it seems locked bootloader is the problem. And I can't unlock with testpoints. Any way to root with locked bootloader? Also I managed to get to 4.0.2.A.0.42.

if you got any problems with the testpoint, i think you have to try harder as i also had failed so many time doing that...maybe you have to manually install the driver..

Sorry to say mate you cannot root this using soc or any other easy root method.
You have either to downgrade to build .42 using flashtools then root then update ota.
ONLY DO THIS IF BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED.
If bootloader is unlocked then you can flash a pre rooted kernel which will give you root.
If you go to the se arc pages look in the stickies all the info you need is there with links to the tools you need.
Hope this helps

Do i just need to download a custom rom and flash through cwm? Or ive to unlock the bootloader install kernel?
Can anyone please point a direction?

first you have to root, then you gotta install custom recovery. you have to unlock the bootloader to install a custom kernel but there are quite a few custom roms optimized for the stock kernel/locked bootloader
first, download the doomlords one click root kit, then root, then download se extreme tweaks and select install cwm for 2011 xperia and you'll be on your way! if you need detailed help, pm me!

do you want ics roms or gb roms?
i'm not that into gb roms so i wouldnt know, but the hasa roms are okay.
for ics roms, there is minicmsandwich, real ics and real ics lite. i'm using real ics lite. there are more roms but those are my favorite ics roms.
for ics roms, however, you have to root ics. that's pretty simple.
unpack the rar i attached, run 01-local-prop, follow the instructions, once that's done, flash ics via flashtool but uncheck "wipe data" and that's it. after that's done and you boot into ics, run the 02-push-root-files, and install cwm again via se extreme tweaks. then just flash a custom rom via cwm. easy as that

You'll need to unlock the bootloader. There are two methods - the test point method (if you don't want to lose DRM keys, TrackID and such Sony stuff) or the official method. Both these methods are available in the FAQ by Someguyfromhell.
Once you do unlock the bootloader, you need to flash either a kernel that's provided in the ROM or another kernel that supports the desired ROM.
Can anyone please point a direction?

No not really i dont think. I did this to my wifes t-mobile z with current firmware and locked bootloader and was fine. There is 2 downloades you do. you can download the installer which is for windows and then the flasher which you do in recovery after you have rooted and installed recovery from the installer. Very easy to use.
