Before you do any rooting, check for an OTA software update because you're still on ICS... Most ROMs currently cater for JB hboot now.

So I will get that OTA update from HTC right ??
Yeah bud, in your About menu in Settings you can check for software updates. That comes from HTC, it gives you a new bootloader which allows for larger kernel partition. But you can only update if you are on the stock firmware that came with your phone and you are not rooted. You must also have the stock recovery.

JB doesn't really give me many problems. It definitely is faster than ICS and Google Now is a welcomed addition. My battery is pretty bad but it always has been, it's not JB specific for me.

Hi There,
I have a NewSE XPERIA NEO V - ANDROID 4.0.4 and I just need a easy step by step instruction to Root this Phone without unlocking Bootloader.
It´s just hoorrorbile for me to find the right tools + Instruction because I never ever do a Job like that on a Android System..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690
Its not horrible to find it.. on the first page of general section, and if its not on first page, there is search button.
he easiest way is to get open your eyes and use the search button right up in the corner !! agree with madfysh, Geez !
and Madfysh my mate welcome by te RC`s
Hello,
I've searched for a direct root for Neo V (4.0.4) but it seems that it's not available for the moment.
Do you know if it will be available one day or if Sony has corrected the hack ?

You are asking if we know if someone will discover exploit one day? Are you aware that there is no answer to that question?
Sony corrected exploits from .62, but that didn't stop someone find new one(in 4.0.3)
I would just say this, don't expect someone will go and search for new exploit, since available root is pretty easy(2,3 minutes job), so no one will bother with search.
If someone will find it it will be accidentally

In fact, I was asking in the case someone was already working on it.
So if I understand well, the exploit that allows the root in 4.0.3 has been fixed in 4.0.4 ?
Because I imagine that is not necessary to find a new exploit for each update. That could take time to Sony to fix it and they probably prefer to put resources on other stuff.

hi there
i`m not able to reply on developers post, but i`m writing here because I have also Neo V with 4.0.4. i have read a lot of tutorials and posts and tried 4-5 methods to root my phone with no result. the last that i have tryed is with rootscript and the result is print screened and attached. i have tried and i think that i unlocked the bootloader, but nothing works. what is wrong?

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..
Ciaossu!~
Just flash Advanced stock kernel v14 by arakmar via fastboot.
What will it let me achieve then, bro?
BTW, thanks for the reply.

I am in the exact situtation as you. I too bought my Xperia S last week and have updated to the latest firmware. As this is my first Android phone, I have no clue how to move forward.
I would be glad if you post your findings. Thanks.

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

Yea, i too hope someday someone will develop a way to root so that you don't have to go back to GB !!
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..

Thanks for this bro! I'll try this out later when I get home. Will my data be lost?
So essentially you are just replacing a stock kernel by a rooted kernel. What if I want to go back to the unrooted kernel?

THanks mate !!!
I know that the guys that are making the modds here for the Sony Tablet S they said that for the moment there is no way to root the 4.0.3 5a OTA cose the bootloader is closed... but... anyone... is there another way?
I just bought the Tablet S... and without root und custom rooms is just no fun.
Thanks for your efforts and with great respect for your work.... greets from Berlin

on same boat like you , hope they can find out the way to root 4.0.3 r5a , this room got so much problem and i need wipe and install new rom stable
Yeah I have to say, I upgraded cause I was sick of getting the messages for months and months on end!
Upgraded on Sony Tablet S from OS v3.x to v4 R5.
Not sure why people call it "OTA" (over the air) when it definitely was downloaded via my Wifi!
So am I stuck? Am I locked? I thought this was the perfect device to experiement with!
p.s. How can we take a backup of the current ROM prior to rooting? Something I'd like to do this time when rooting my second device.
Cheers!

Why you didn't disable the upgrade message with condi's aio tool?
I have my tablet S with r5a rooted only because condi released the Flasher but I don't really see any diference from r5 to r5a
Why? Cause I got sick of it, and I figured the newer OS would be better!
The new OS is much better. Much faster. But several apps - I wish I could remove / uninstall won't go... Plus the stupid remote and other button at top of screen ...
Where can I find a list of ROM's that will support the Sony Tablet S device?
Anyone know?
So is 4.0.3 still not rootable, even with the latest AIO?
