I had a very quick look at that thread and it looks like it does.
It's always worth using the search button in these forums. It can save you a lot of time.

good question, if ticklefish is right, then this will save me lots of time when i test new things on mi own roms, because it bricks often

Stock .587 is unrootable via adb.
ro.secure=1 makes it secure against exploit.

It does not it is for 4.1.A.0.562

Why u worry first downgrade to ginger than just update via Ota i.e wifi.. Root will remain.. Easy ics with latest kernel..

If you have boot loader unlocked then just flash the custom kernel as the kernels have in built su binaries and cwm recovery. As mine is also 587 built live with Walkman and I'm running cm10 on it. I have just flashed custom rom and that's it. No doom lord kit nothing else. Only kernel flash using flash tool

It's impossible to root it with a toolkit, see my rooting guide sticked in general forum how to root .587

I mean to say if you have unlocked bootloader then rooting via flashtool by flashing custom kernel is simplest and safest process. But you need bootloader unlocked

Root?

Do I have to flash doomlord's firmware and then go on super one click or from stock firmware from England can I just root with super one click safely.

Anyone know?

I used doomlords firmware and mines rooted successfully.
Try with his first, then if it works , try the English firmware and do the same steps.
Sorry if im not clear with my answers this is the first forum ive actively posted on

superoneclick uses exploits to get root if the phone doesnt have unsecure kernel. However, there is no exploit for the new gingerbread SE software right now (gingerbreak is fixed!). Therefore there is now chance right now to get root without unlocking bootloader and flash unsecure kernel :/
Therefore you have to flash the unsecure kernel, and then superoneclick gets root quite easily.
Oh, so basically the unsecure kernel hasnt got the patch or fix or update that stops you from rooting, its been removed ? Am I right ???
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
no, there is just an option "secure" which (if set to 0) allows superoneclick to root very easy!
Oh k, I get it

i know that. the reason i want the .ftf is because
i have already downloaded the .62 via ota and ready to install. and when its about to install the fw my phone reboots then after that, it says 'could not install' on my notification bar. i dont know why.
this happens when im on locked/unlocked bootloader.
but anyway, i hope .62 is much better than .58.
Yes. It happens when you have unlocked bootloader.. DRM keys are lost and Official updates don't work.

Kernel through CWM recovery.

Hey guys anyone ever flashed a kernel through cmw recovery? I've seen it done on youtube but never seen it done here.
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
you can flash kernel through recovery only on Locked Bootloader and not unlocked bootloader.
There is doomlord's bootmanager for unlocked bootloader supporing to boot into different kernels while booting but haven't tried it personally so dont know about it
Thanks. But why I ask is out of curiosity and Because my computer crashed leaving me on a cm7 rom I don't particularly like for two days! So how is it that flashing kernels for only locked bls? So not fair. Sounds strange to me. well I'm no dev or a noob. Hmmm but I wonder if I can flash that boot manager through cwm? What you think?

nope sorry mate you cant do that.
Bootmanager can be flashed only by flashtool.
In Locked bootloader, the sony kernel is killed and than custom kernel starts after this process so we can flash it via cwm
In Unlocked bootloader we have to remove the sony kernel and load the custom kernel but on X10 its not possible with cmw/xrec

[Q] Locked bootloader + CWM?

So, I was searching for solution to have custom recovery on my locked Xperia S and i couldn't find it. Is it even possible because of my locked bootloader? My phone is rooted.
Rooting with This method gives recovery on locked bootloader.
I'm using it. I make backups and also flash roms that are for locked bootloader.

xcream and [email protected] roms are pretty cool, easy to install on locked bootloader and clean,
You can also use the attached "recovery", very quick no reinstalls, and even root direct with flashtool. A lot faster than the old method

How?

My SXS is rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460) and CWM is installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756346) on locked bootloader. So I can install for example the [email protected] ROM with CWM and will still have root and CWM?
Thx for answers!

Sola Root Problem

Hello.
I have been trying to make root but I could not do it.
My computer sees Sola as S1Boot Fastboot, but I cannot download Kernel and the LED is not blue. It's like violent.
How can I use Flashtool and flash the Kernel ? When I flash the kernel, will I able to format the system and install CM9 ?
Is there anyone out there?
There are many tutorials about this. You should look for it little harder..
Are you still on stock rom? Which firmware? If it's 10, you can root using restore method by b1nary. Hope I write correct name.. If you are on fw 54, flash kernel 10, root it using above method, then flash kernel 54 back

I am still on 6.1.1.B.1.54 Stock Rom bro. I am trying to unlock bootloader. I have been trying since yesterday. I have read too much things but I could not do it. Should I watch Binary's video again?
When trying to flash kernel, flashtool says " It must be rooted first " What should I do? I don't understand Binary's Method well. What should I download ?
In Binary's method there is something wrong. I am doing everything in that video, my phone resets itself and I don't still have Superuser app in my phone.
Rooting and unlocking are different thing.. i haven't unlocked as well.. have u seen this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35024193&postcount=1
Can someone help me with this??
