Hello!
I'm here to present the first way of gaining root access through ADB, WITHOUT unlocking your bootloader and voiding warranty.
METHOD
Download Pokoby's Root Pack
Download the .564 firmware
Download Flashtool for the Xperia NXT line
Step 1: Flash the stock .564 firmware on your phone (Other guides available. Essentially, install Flashtool drivers, unplug phone from USB then hold Volume Down whilst inserting the USB)
Step 2: Open up Pokoby's Root Pack, and extract all the files inside. Make sure it has adb, it should be included in the zip.
Step 3: Run the ROOT.BAT file inside .../Pokoby's Root Pack. Your phone will reboot once, then another CMD window should appear. If not, start it manually by running ROOT2.bat, also located inside the folder.
Step 4: When the CMD window asks whether you'd like to install Superuser.apk, press Y or Enter to proceed. If not, you can install it later from Google Play.
Step 5: Your phone will reboot once more. Congratulations! You should succesfully have Superuser as an app on your phone. To test for root access, download Terminal Emulator from the Google Play store, and type in 'su' (without the apostrophes). A Superuser request should appear. Select 'Allow'. The $ in Terminal Emulator should then turn to a # sign. That means you've rooted!
You're rooted!
QUESTIONS
Q: What is root?
A: I suggest you read up on Wikipedia, but if you aren't aware of what rooting is, it's highly unlikely you'll want or need to do it.
Q: Something went wrong, and my phone isn't rooted.
A: PM me, and I will always respond A.S.A.P. Also, remember to include details about where exactly the process stops.
Q: I love you! You're my hero! Where can I donate?
A: I will soon set up a donation link. All funds will go to a charity of my choice, but I'm currently undecided. And, that's if anyone does want to donate.
Q: Do you have a Github?
A: I am currently in the process of creating one, and setting up sources there.

steryman - I believe he created the root method for Xperia S. If I am mistaken, PM me and I will change it.
The XDA community - For taking such interest in this!
Happy rooting!

Its possible for SXP?
Does this also work with stock 6.0.B.3.184 Firmware or is .564 definitely necessary? And is updating to .184 possible after rooting using your method?

Why ask me?
But i think yes, if Pokoby really make a root method for the U, It will working with P and Sola too.

Follow the instructions here: (see url in the attachment) - I can confirm it works.
Andy's own website is not helpful when it comes to support / tweaks. I am not impressed that they chose FB groups as their choice for Support. Andy itself is brilliant! Love it.
PS: I have too few posts and cant paste a URL in the reply, hence the attachment. Someone with link posting privileges please can you post the link in a reply, it will be easier for other users / searchable etc. Thanks!

I've found "Rootkit v3.5" working fine.
Found it from here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlSc_sc25G0
Attached a bit modified version of it, without the extra APKs.
You can also use my app to remove all of the system apps you don't want.
Thanks

1st: there is an archidroid q&a thread where you can post archidroid specific questions.
2nd: read Archidroid OP, there you will find your answer. alternatively either search in the main thread or in the q&a thread for "freedom" and you'll find at least 10 times your needed answer.
3rd: i am nice and repeat again the solution:
freedom needs to modify the hosts file but archidroid has a built-in adblock which locks the hosts file by default. so go to the archidroid app and unlock the hosts file. then it should work. but note that it is not recommended to use this method (read the thread to know why)

How can I create the proper folder names for each app? Android creates special names, like "com.buak.Link2SD-1" to add other data. When app updates, it automatically creates a folder and the name of the apk turns to "base.apk".

Extract the folder, then open the javascript .jar launcher which should be in your downloads directory.

Update-binary is not a .zip. It is extensionless.
Thanks. How should i import it then? The beta only recognizes zip files.
About V3.0, I can't use it, Compared to the second edition，I think v2 is easy to use, suggest to make a tutorial.
