OK....now that we have a new ftf file(6.1.A.2.45)....some of us had a clean instal with wipping everything!And we lost our root acces!
The question is...How can we root the new firmware on unlocked bootloader?The old methods work olso for this firmware or we must wait for a kernel with root acces?

Flash advanced kernel 14, it's working. That's what I'm currently using.

Yes...but the Advanced Stok Kernel doesn`t have the old ramdisk?
I understand that in this version(6.1.A.2.45) the ramdisk is newer and we get more free ram with it!By installing the Advanced Stock Kernel don`t we also install the old ramdisk?
Have you tried the method described here?

As i said...i had a clean install as my old rom was all messed up!
A clean install for any new rom i think is recomended if you want the full optimisation of it!The question stands still...How do we root a clean install of 6.1.A.2.45 ?

you can flash the stock kernel via flashtool. It will retain your root.

Thank you. This method works.
Just to recap, fastboot flash adv stock 14, then reboot normally until home screen. Reboot into fastboot again and flash stock kernel.sin from FTF. Root is retained.
But you'll lose CWM won't you? Even tho you'll be rooted?

Offcourse you will, and guess we have to wait for it for a little while. But for now, the root access works good for me =)
Flash whatever you need while on adv stock 14 before going back to stock. Then wait for adv stock 15
You can try this, I have not tried it though:

Can't say much more about the ROM than what's already in the title, I grabbed it from i-don't-quite-remember-where (but not from warez type sites) since I couldn't update with PCC 'cause of unlocked bootloader. Checked it and it's the real deal, got it flashed and running on my Sola. FTF packaged neatly in a RAR.

Yes the rom came from Irontech so all credits and thanks go to him for publishing it (i only remembered it was him who released it on forum when rohit gave the link), but i think its place is here where it won't be lost in waves of threads like on general.

If I remember right you can't root manually yet. You have to flash a kernel with auto root etc.

Hi.
I don't have Xperia Sola, but if you have access to your CWM it's a good ting if you before flash anything you made a backup of your phone using CWM.
Maybe you haven't made any backup of your phone, than you can try to download some custom rom's from this forum for Xperia Sola, if not you can try to find a stock rom for your phone. I'm sure it has been posted lot of Xperia Sola stock rom here, and you flash it by using flashtool.
Maybe you will found something here:

DON'T USE ON XPERIA U, XPERIA P AND OTHER XPERIAS. KERNEL FILES PROVIDED ARE ONLY FOR XPERIA SOLA!!!
This is the same method used by naruto20007 in [Root - Locked Bootloader] Xperia P 6.1.1.B.1.54 so thanks him, i've only packed the two kernel ftf files for sola.
This works with LOCKED and UNLOCKED bootloader
I assume that you are running 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware
You need:
1. Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry LINK
2. 6.1.1.B.1.10 and 6.1.1.B.1.54 stock kernel ftf files LINK
3. Flashtool LINK
INSTRUCTION
1. Flash MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_KERNEL.ftf with Flashtool and reboot
2. Root using Bin4ry's method
3. Flash MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf with Flashtool and reboot
After flashing the 6.1.1.B.1.10 kernel your icons can turn black, don't worry and go on.
If you have unlocked bootloader you can also root by flashing TheBrainsKernel

Sent from my ST25i
I think you can re lock. Not too sure how it works tho. There are definitely guides around tho!
If you're keeping the phone for yourself tho I'd keep it unlocked and just flash cm9. It'll be far faster and smoother than stock
Sent from my Android 4.2.1 Xperia S
Couple of things.
First of all thanks for all of your help.
Secondly, I am keeping it for myself, but I'm a tad concerned about installing a custom ROM and Kernel.
I have heard of CyanogenMod and apparently they offer a near stock experience. But as Flashtool is not working for me, if I fastboot flash the boot.img then would that mean I could never revert back to stock?
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
Yea you can always revert back to stock. But I promise you'll never want too. Lol. If you already have cwm then all you need to do is download the cm9 zip and flash in recovery (following instructions in the thread as to what to wipe)
As for flashtool, have you installed all the drivers from the drivers file?
