Search mate...read the stickies.
You dont have to relock the bootloader...just download flashtool...ftf file of stock .62 firmware...install adb drivers and flash the ftf you downloaded via flashtool...everything is available in the development section.
Pandemic...where are you?

Just find .ftf and flash it with falshtool, both are even in dev sections.
I already told you in another thread, read sticky threads, get to know with tools and after that go ahead with messing with your phone.
It's amazing how people don't know about flahstool, it's practically around every corner here..

Yep you can root with the method in this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792 and then you flash to 4.0.2.A.62 firmware again with flash tool or over the air (OTA) on your phone

There's also a pre-rooted .62 packed inside a flashable .zip somewhere among the hundreds of tutorials floating around, just make sure you look hard enough, I don't have the link handy at the moment.
Unlock your bootloader and get pre-rooted kernels to avoid this kind of problems.
BTW why not just go with ICS? mine's been running fine with it.
It says no proper root access.
Rooted on .58 successfully, updated to .62 but now it is no longer rooted.

jajajajaja my bad!!!! in that case, thank u for thanking me
Good day, XDA. I'd like to ask help with regards to rooting my Xperia S. I have recently bought this and it got shipped with ICS 4.0.4 and build number 6.1.A.0.45 and I updated its build number to 6.1.A.2.45. I have also unlocked its bootloader successfully. Now I'm having problems on how to root this. I've read certain posts regarding ICS rooting and they all state that it has to have 6.1.A.0.45 build number. But I don't know how to rollback to the previous build number. What should I do?? Please help..

Thanks for the link. but the link you gave is for GB and I am on ICS already. (I know, there is a way to flash to GB but... ) I will better wait for a perfect way for rooting a device with ICS on locked BL installed.

Also, you can never brick your device on LOCKED bootloaders so don't worry
DId he mean unlocked bootloader?

Only for unlocked bootloader... here is a step by step I put together using the information gathered from various threads here in XDA.. I have used this very same method for my phone, so it is definitely working.. if you run into any problem like not being able to get into the Fastboot mode, or I missed some file, let me know..

So essentially you are just replacing a stock kernel by a rooted kernel. What if I want to go back to the unrooted kernel?

A update has been certified, but there's no word from sony on when they are about to release it or what the changelog is, some devices (Xperia P) seem to have received the update, so we have to wait until sony release the update to go and someone uploads the ftf file...
Can someone change the title cause its very misleading. Thanx

then root using bin4ry.
after that flash again the kernel from .54
your phone will be rooted.

How do you flash only the kernel? Do you just tick all the 'exclude' checklists in Flashtool and untick all the 'wipe' ones?

yes u r correct.
when u tick all this u will notice that the sin file will. gone so u just leave
kernel. and loader sin.
So, can someone tell me which steps are needed (I need details, because I'm noob ) to root Xperia Go with .54 fw?
As if I root my phone with a locked bootloader. Does it have any differences with an unlocked bootloader?

I just did it that way and works like a charm - kernel version in my case is 3.0.8+ , right?!
is the performance really improved as compared to .10 fw
i am currently on .10 fw and camera quality is pathetic..and games like neckbreaker does'nt run properly..which runs very good in devices like samsung s duos..what is the use of buying this "a9 dual core with mali gpu"..
so anyone using .54 fw pls tell me about performance of this version..

What I experience in .54 is that the performance is better, when I was on .10 I need to restart it daily to keep the ram free. For the .54, I can turn on my phone as long as I want. Just that SOMTIMES it can get laggy but after awhile later it goes back to normal, I was very disappointed when it was in .10 if I had to make a call it would be like a pain in the arse. I can still live on in the .54 fw.
Hopefully the next JB update will be better.

That version can't be rooted using bin4ry's method via .bat file or flashtool. Either unlock the bootloader and flash a rooted kernel or flash back to an older firmware that can be rooted and OTA update.

Assuming that you have installed following:
- Android ADB
- latest Flashtools & (driver) - antivirus disabled
- mobile is readily getting into flashmode and fashboot mode.
- usually i dont go into these hasles i install and flash CWM and then install custom ROM which are far better than stock rom.
