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
Is there no way to obtain root without unlook BL right..?

I am on 6.1.1.C.1.0 OCT ( not rootable)
I try to flash the 4.0.4nu kernel (only kernel.sin and loader.sin)
when it flashes and i open my phone the screen doesn't work! it shows some things but i can't clearly understand what i'm doing.
After that i have to flash again the 6.1.1.C.1.0 kernel (the non rootable) and my phone is useable again.
In 2 words i can't root my phone because the 4.0.4nu kernel doesn't work with my phone...any suggestions?
Same happened wid me when I was on. 54 fw
I dun knw how I was able to root it
Probably I used a custom kernel wid autoroot (i used all available in our forum)
None worked
Bt when I flashed back original kernel I saw I was rooted....
Do u have unlocked bootloader?

.54 kernel is not rootable, thats why you have to flash .10 kernel on .54 firmware, then root and flash .54 kernel back.
You can try this metod on .c.1.0, youcan always use stock tft to recovery...
Try flash C.1.0 firmware, then flash .10 kernel only, root it and then try to flash c.1.0 kernel back.
And dont forget to prepare the C.1.0 in advance from this thread

Now i want to flash a ICS ftf to root+CWM and try GB-Rocks rom, but Flashtool (last version) don't recognize it!
Also PC Companion says I have the latest firmware, so I can't update.. Repair option works, but when trying to flash it stops..
