Has anyone seen if this works on the latest firmware?

You have to flash b.1.10 kernel first and then root it.

No it doesnot require unlocked bootloader.
First select the .ftf you want to flash in flashtool.It will start preparing the files.After 10-15 sec,it will ask you to connect your phone in flashmode.
How to enter flashmode:
Power off your phone.
Connect your phone to PC with volume down button pressed.
It will enter into flashmode.

With unlocked bootloader,you can flash custom kernels.These make your phone fast and smooth and can increase battery life.
You can always root your phone with unlocked bootllader.
And the BIGGEST pros of unlocked bootloader is you can flash "Jelly Bean" which is almost fully functional and stable for daily use.

Great! Thanks for clearing this up. Will definitely be doing that on my gf's phone. Have JB on my HTC One S, would love that on her phone, although the ICS ROMs that are out for the Xperia U seem pretty awesome as well.

Officially Unlocked Bootloader
I don't want to unlock my bootloader the unofficial way.. I am not exactly Mr. Safe Hands so I am afraid I'll mess it up.
But I want to Unlock my bootloader officially. Because I know we can relock it later.
Whenever I soft brick my phone, I use Sony Update Service to fix it. But I am aware I can't do that if I unlock my bootloader the official way.
So how do I fix a soft brick after I unlock my bootloader the official way?
I would bow down with gratitude if someone could please share a step by step method
Thank You
Hey this is a dead thread (by me )
But hey dude
dont think that seus will help you always in my situation it didnt.
I used flash tool to unbrick.(from soft brick)
Also if you rellock with oficial method it will be in re-locked state and not Locked
you wont be able to recover because some keys will be lost...
anyway i dont reccomend unlocking anyway.

I've already unlocked! And I changed my kernel.
But I figured it out! Using flashtool.. I can fix a soft brick even if my bootloader is unlocked. I didn't like SUS much anyway.. I have a very slow net connection and, therefore, absolutely hate to watch the files download.
Flashtool is awesome!

I have new xperia mini pro and just updated it to ICS 4.0.4 officially.
nothing is done in my phone like flashing or rooting.
whenever i try to customize it using mods it shows flash via CWM.
and with best of my knowledge CWM requires rooting and flashing.
is there any way i can flash zip files without rooting my phone.
or if have to root it please tell me the best way to do it as i think rooting with 4.0.4 is nt possible.

for xperia mini(st15i) there is a temp CWM recovery that you can flash with flashtool(require unlocking bootloader) and you can flash mods and when you reboot the device CWM is gone.
search temp boot for xperia mini pro.if you find maybe usefull for you.
if you find temp boot for your device you can root your device with CWM.
Rooting is the gate to modding pal. . .
You need to do it. . .
Also bootloader should be unlocked as if u wanna install custom rom some of them are only for unlocked bootloaders. . .
Rest use search button
Happy modding

To use CWM you dont need to root your phone but you need to unlock the bootloader and flash a new kernel. This WILL void your warranty but if done correctly it opens a whole world of mods in android. Sony provides an official method of doig the same in their blog(jut google) but using that method makes you loose your drm. I did come across another method(on this forum) which claimed that you could do the same without loosing the drm but I havent tried it out.

Hello.
To use CWM without unlocking your bootloader, I did the following :
Start with an xperia mini pro with official ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431)
First, I rooted my xperia following the topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701357
Then I used RecoverX to install CWM without unlocking the bootloader : http://www.iphoneandroidtips.org/how-to/recoverx-to-install-recovery-for-sony-xperia-phones/
Then you restart your Mini Pro when Sony appears, keep on taping on Volume down button to enter CWM menu :cyclops:
Then I could install custom ROMs CyanogenTimescape, RealICS, AOKP (Roms that allow locked bootloaders)
I hope that can help you.

You need to have root already, before updating to ICS.
You need rooted Gingerbread in order to root ICS. Make sure ADB drivers are installed.

First,all you need to do is download below file to process:
Flashtool version v0.9.9.0 (Google search it)
The require relock bootloader file in below (Extract the tft file to your pc after download)
After download all the file,you are now ready to relock your bootloader:
1)Power Off your phone
2)Open up flashtool
3)After open up flashtool,now click the left side first icon,then you will be ask to choose which mode you want {1)Flashmode 2)Fastbootmode}
4)Now select Flashmode
5)Connect your phone to your pc in flashmode using data cable (Hold volume DOWN key)
6)Now select the tft file where you store in
7)At the right side Option tick the No Final Verification
8)That will flash automatically
9)After that reboot your phone and you will see your bootloader is relock now ENJOY!!!
NOTE:
Before flashing,don't forget to BACKUP your file
FLASH IT AT YOUR OWN RISK,I NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICE,DEAD SD CARDS
After flashing,you will ABLE to download the latest official firmware from SONY.
FAQ:
Q:Why relock your bootloader?
A:You can do an offcial update from SONY via Sony PC Companion and repair your fw at SEUS!!!

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

Download .ftf for your phone (search it in development thread of your phone) and flash it using flashtool - you can find all the instructions here in this section's help thread (first thread in Q&A).

Go into Xperia Sola development section (you have sola, right?), there you find threads like [ICS][FTF] Official ftf... you can flash it without root - using flashtool - you will get unofficial official update.

You will get newest update if you follow these instructions (and if you download the right .ftf).
You DON'T NEED root for this.
