Yes, I have successfully rooted my rom.
I have the same ROM as you (port from LWW) and followed this guide from step V (5) only.

[Q] [ICS ROM 4.0.1 Alpha] Flashing

Hello,
I have xperia ray with boot loader unlocked + DoomKernel overclockable to 2GHz and customised themes installed in it.
I have recently downloaded ICS 4.0.1 Alpha ROM from developers.sonyericsson.com/wp for my Ray. It has 3 files, 1: boot.img(approx 5.54MB) , 2.system.img(Approx 264MB) and 3.userdata.img(in KB s).
How do I flash this ROM into my Ray.
Can anyone help!?
first flash boot.img with flashtool
then put other files in a file and copy to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
finally use CWM recovery restore

You need to use flashtool to root and unlock your bootloader.. once you archived that then you can install the ROM you want..
Flashtool can be downloaded from this link..

You need to find and flash FXP132 kernel for the above ROM to work... also make sure your baseband is .71.... good luck

2. Flash .559 kernel via Flashtool. and start your device (Enable Usb debugging Mode)
3. Download Root with Restore by Bin4ry v18 attached below.

Thanks to naruto20007 & neoxx3m for kernel files.
Thanks to Bin4ry for Rooting tool
Thanks man i rooted my device with ease by ur steps
...but the steps you detailed are *exactly* downgrading the kernel, rooting that, and then flashing the new kernel back—pretty much the very steps everyone would have done since the .54 update. How is this 'Without Downgrade'?

For some rooting methods, u have to downgrade to 2.3 so i mentioned 'Without Downgrade'
There is already a thread in the dev section abt this same process....

Downgrading problem
When i tried to downgrade to .599 from flashtool, it said that its complete but when i restarted it was the same 1.54 version and everything was black except the notification bar. Any ideas how to downgrade to .599 without errors? :/

Still the same way which is you have to downgrade first then upgrade to .54

This has already been discussed in Bin4ry's method thread...
Not a new method. Rooted my phone this way even before I read your post...

Thanks a lot
You are a savior...I tried different method as shared on xda forums and still failed to root my Xperia....and now with the help of your post I finally rooted my Xperia P...thanks a lot.:laugh:
Could you tell me why we had to flash our kernel first to ensure a perfect root....as to the methods mentioned on different threads they say to root the phone first and later flash the ROM or kernel??

when you flash a ROM by flashtool and default confs your root access will be lost, and about this methot: bcz older kernels are rootable and newer not.

Problems rooting my Experia U

Hello everyone! So i got my Xperia U for christmas, and i wanted to root it, me and my friend have tried to root our xperia u's but it's not working.
We have tried bin4rys, z4root and flashtool, it goes through the process and reboots, but we still doesnt have root acces, on flashtool it says "root hack didn't work, cleaning hack files".
Our versions: android ics 4.0.4 build: 6.1.1.B.1.54
(we have installed adb drivers, but we haven't unlocked bootloader)
Thanks!

Try Unlock Root, or SuperOneClick (or as mostafa says, check the forums).
use slackerzz method..heres the link

.54 isnt rootable so you have to flash back to .10 and perform root, then flash .54 again..it's all in there :good:
edit: theres a line there that says dont use on xU because the kernels provided are for xSola..you'd have to find a source for the kernels of xU, or you can just search for that in the xU section..
