If superuser is there that means it is rooted, but if you want to verify download "es file explorer" and enable the root explorer in settings..when you enable it you'll get a prompt asking you to grant access if you are able to grant permissions that means you have rooted.
Or simply plug-in your phone to the pc and launch flashtool, it will say if ur device is rooted
It say Root Access Allowed in flashtool..Means im ok Rooted??
If yes i want to put that in my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1724602 cannt paste in system which explorer have to use?

There are no differences except that you can use applications that require root. That is all, it only installs one extra command called "su" which enables you to run apps as root.

Hi,dude.
I think you haven't done enough search here on XDA,though there are really too many information to absorb all at once.
There is a great guy,akshay13071990,posting a Guide and I truly recommend you to take a look.:good:
As for rooting your phone on firmware .62,you have to flash back to firmware .42 or .56,and root it ,then update to .62 again.
It's kind of vexing.But if you want to have a rooted phone on .62(Gingerbread),that's it.
Or if you haven't unlocked your bootloader,maybe you could update to Sony's official ICS via PCC.
Good luck.
---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------
Sorry I forgot to mention that if you have unlocked the bootloader,do not update your phone via official ways such as PCC or OTA.
Because it may brick your phone.
4.0.4 ics cant be rooted directly in locked bootloaderso follow this method to update and root 4.0.4 ics

If you flash firmware, you loose all data, except sdcard. If you're just rooting though, you loose no data.

That's why you need to read the guide. It is explained there -.-
anyway:
Flashing firmwares with flashtool:
Install FlashTool.
Go to your flashtool folder, and place the .ftf file in the folder "firmwares".
Turn off your phone.
Now open flashtool.exe> click the thunder icon> select flashmode> adsp.sin should be selected> click ok. Wait till it asks you to connect the phone.
When it does, hold down the -DOWN- volume button while connecting, to enter flashmode (the LED should turn green).
The flashing will commence.
After that, disconnect and turn on your phone.
I believe Flashtool allows you to root the phone without having to unlock your bootloader or flash a separate kernel.
I used this topic to root, it is a little quicker :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701357

For full features you'll need root. But I think it'll still work without root, though limited.
When rooting, you don't loose data.

already tried...but :crying: it said i need to root it my device first :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
I have a very stupid problem that I need help with.
Okay so I bought my SGSII around a year ago, It is a Gt-I9100M model from Bell Canada
I got it sim unlocked from one of those online websites. It was going great for a year and even after the ICS update. anyways recently I flashed custom rom on it and it got locked again. I tried both the chainfire unlock method and it said no code available and I tried the galaxy_s unlock one as well.
Both don't work. I returned back to stock ICS firmware and tried them again and still they aren't working. I'm really po'd at the moment because nothing I really need this device to work asap.
Did u pull of battery and sim once til now?
Did u try a factory reset? (After going back to stock)
Last option is to ask the provider in any way....
Sorry no more ideas from me for now...
CHEERS

if its not .54 fw then you should be able to root it easily, check to see if you are doing all the steps right, or you can search for more information on the forum about rooting the firmware you have, there is enough information in the forum if you search for it to root any xperia u running any FW.

you do not need a custom recovery and with root not much can go wrong,
Rooting does not affect your bootloader
rooting does however affect your warrenty, removing of root does restore the status of your warenty since the modifacations no longer exist
you do not need recovery
your bootloader is locked from being manufactured, its only unlocked if someone unlocks it which sony wouldent do as its used to monitor if someone has modified their device but root exploits is a way around this

if you uninstall root from within the supersu app your warrenty is no longer voided because there is no evidance of root being there
if you modified your system you can install a FTF using flashtool to get totaly stock
