Isn't it understandable from the word itself?
Rom which already have root access inside. Meaning, after you install it, you won't have to root it.
Which is case in (I believe) all roms around.

Hi!
Is this a custom rom or a program to root locked bootloader?I am interested in rooting my xperia u with locked bootloader in order to change my customization number and flash the phone with arabic firmware from se update.Thanks!
When the U ICS update rolls out next week - is it expected we can use the "Root Many Android" method to obtain root without unlocking the bootloader?

First of all you cannot untill you hv CWM installed on your device
You can install it acc
A) Unlocked Bootloader :
Follow the below post ans you will be able yo install CWM on your Sola
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32419976
B) Locked Bootloader :
Works still in progress to install CWM on locked Bootloader, it's already working on Xperia U so if you wana try knock yourself out
Search Xperia U forum
Locked bootloaders can't install custom roms I guess

Hi
With this method you can fix your touch problem if you flashed a wrong rom
Things we need:
Flash tools
Rage kernel gb
Stock .62 firmware for your device(ftf)
wrong rom that bricked your touchscreen
What should we do:
1:flash your device gb .62 firmware
2:flash rage kernel
3:flash that wrong rom again
4:if wrong rom was ics,rom will not boot then remove the battery to turn phone off then flash .62 firmware again if it was gb,do the same work
5:wait until stock rom boots the touch will be fixed
6:if touch screen fixed,press thanks button
I tested this method two times and worked
Devices that unbricked with this method:
Mini
Mini pro

Thing is: I don't know what rom initially broke the touchscreen since I got the phone in this condition, hoping for an easy fix
I don't think there's a way to tell what rom was on there....so my best bet is still random flashing, right?

If U did try to install JB then U should have unlock Your bootloader. That means You have recovery which is build in kernel, so just copy any other JB ROM and install it. If You did not unlock BL then try flashtool and install ICS, cause JB won't run on stock kernel.
Can you help me with step by step instruction with links... Plz...
there are a lot more information that u should give us in the first place.
like: which rom u want to flash?
bootlodder unlocked?
ur base os?
and many more
