Hi Djuganight,
If you are on firmware version 6.2.A.1.100 , you should use the Root toolkit by Doomlord(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335992) , just download the zip file and extract it on your PC , and run the .bat(windows) or .sh(mac/linux), you will need your phone in usb debugging mode and with unknown source allowed(setting--> security--> unknown sources) and this toolkit will do the work and root your phone. Later you can flash the ROM which you need.

[Q] [ROOT HELP] Sony Xperia U ST25a

I'm having troubles to root my Sony Xperia U ST25a.
I just unlocked the Bootloader *yay! finaly* as I read that it is needed to root using this video: /watch?v=x65ua5x4sMc
But when the Root part comes I'm afraid to use that files because my Phone Software Version is: 6.1.1.B.1.54 and I didn't found any kernel.elf files for this version.
Can someone help me with it not using ST25i way, or a problematic way (yes, I'm noob on it) to root my phone?
I really need to use LEDs-U-CTRL
Thank you all.
NOTE: I already used Xperia P kernels but my phone died and I dont know how I made him alive again.

Use flashtool to flash a stock ICS Firmware.
Root your phone:
1.Method Search rootable stock ICS firmware and kernel. Flash the fw, root the phone with Many Android by Bin4ry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31545627
Than flash the kernel.
2.Method Flash a prerooted Kernel, like Munjenis's CWM kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934093&highlight=kernel
3.Method Look in the Development Index here
NOTE: I already used Xperia P kernels but my phone died and I dont know how I made him alive again.

Don't use Xperia P kernels for Xperia U!!!

Root access gone after flashing 6.1.1.B.1.54

1) I had xperia U firmware 6.1.1.B.1.10 .
2) I rooted my my xperia U with flashtool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1933985
It was rooted perfectly.
3 ) Later on, I used flashtool to upgrade flash my phone to 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware
using this --
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2075526
But, now when I am opening Titanium Backup or other application. I see the message no root access found!
I saw in some thread that adding some files helped restore root access...
Please advise...
You lose root when you flash stock ftf.

Re-root if you have your bootloader locked... or use a kernel if unlocked...
When you flashed new firmware,the whole system folder was replaced with new one.It did not have su binary needed for superuser to run.So you lost root access.
Just flash 6.1.1.b.1.10 kernel,root with bin4ry or flashtool and then flash back 6.1.1.b.1.54 kernel.You will be rooted again.

I am just new(noob) so making double sure.
I got kernal from here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028139
Kernal are only around 5 Mb?
I need to use flashtool as given here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2075526
1)But just use B.1.10 kernal FTF(5Mb) instead of full firmware first
2) then root ..
3) Then again use flashtool and do it for B.1.54??
Any step by step link please if I am wrong ?

if you have flashtool installed then You need to go- C:/Flashtool/Drivers/Flashtool-drivers.exe (assuming that you are using windows)
and install drivers for xperia p,u,sola....
or you can find them in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24883071#post24883071
or here:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-p-xperia-u-and-xperia-sola-drivers/
OR TRY THIS:
The best way to get round this is to navigate to settings/storage/ and unmount your external card, your MTP driver should connect now.

If you read in the first thread in this forum you will find much information. It's a sticky tread created by @Envious_Data
You will find all you need there.
is it possible to root without downgrade , or if u can please jus give me a customed rom so i can flash it,
now i now how to flash a rom all thnx to u
rooting without downgrade isn't possible unless you don't care about your current data and internal storage as well was warranty
01 - Downgrade then use root script to root and install recovery from which you upgrade using a pre-rooted zip
02 - unlock bootloader and flash recovery then flash root zip
001 - marshmallow may be much easier to root for people with unlocked bootloaders because rooting is possible without modifying the system
I already lost my Data after I opened the bootloader and installed a stock rom...
If you have unlocked your bootloader, you can flash androplus kernel. It has recovery built in. Then you can flash supersu from recovery to gain root if I remember correctly.
