Follow this video tutorial to install ADB/USB Drivers for your device
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IEdJZGQVI4
Step 1 ] Unlock Boot Loader
Step 2 ] Root Your Device (Only when you want to root your stock firmware,if you go with custom ROM then they are usually pre rooted)
Step 3 ] Flash custom Kernel And ROM

if you are rooted,and your system is not moded any ways just update to 062 via AIR and your root will stay,then you can mod system files and apks as you like.

Hello
I successfully rooted my Xperia P with locked bootloader while upgrading to ICS...
I will be very grateful if someone know how can we install CWM on our devices with locked bootloader?
I tried X-parts and RecoverX but without success
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards

This still doesn't help on ppl who can't unlock it. Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to unlock it. I'm waiting for a solution like the X10 had (with "bypassing" a kernel and so. I still have a .apk file from Z which gives a recovery0.2 but that's not CWM ofc)
Does you tray CWM installer from Xperia S developement forum?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756346
I didn't try it because I'm not sure is it compatible with Xperia P devices...
I post a question in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841613 thread where I asked for CWM files. We can them easily past in wright directories as we have root rights now

I tried it, it does not work.
I have a SIM-locked phone, CWM would be essential.
Strange, I try to root my phone and stuck after step2.bat - phone not boot (stuck on fluid xperia screen)!

you can do a full wipe :
call *#*#7378423#*#*
Customisation Setting → reset customisation
or
fastboot.exe -w
or
use pc companion to repair device (this will also lead to full reset of the device)

You can do a full wipe by manual. There is an option to do that on Setting.

you do not need a custom recovery and with root not much can go wrong,
Rooting does not affect your bootloader
rooting does however affect your warrenty, removing of root does restore the status of your warenty since the modifacations no longer exist
you do not need recovery
your bootloader is locked from being manufactured, its only unlocked if someone unlocks it which sony wouldent do as its used to monitor if someone has modified their device but root exploits is a way around this

if you uninstall root from within the supersu app your warrenty is no longer voided because there is no evidance of root being there
if you modified your system you can install a FTF using flashtool to get totaly stock

Yes i am m8 >.<
So, i run on this problem - my power button just gave up on working. Everything else is working fine on my cellphone.
Thing is, i have it rooted, and i have twrp, i need to revert to stock so i can send it to warranty.
I'm running stock KIW-L21C432B140 with 5.1.1 version.
Any hints on how i can revert to stock firmware/recovery & unroot, without using the power button?
Thanks in advance
Just use "adb reboot recovery" to get to TWRP and restore a backup of stock. (Check the file depot thread if you need one)
Thanks @halomademeapc for your quick answer! So, restoring the full stock image will get me unrooted, stock recovery and obviously the stock firmware, is that right?

by the way ur phone warranty is void already unless ur country have some other warranty conditions ! . hope they fix it for u and yes follow @halomademeapc instructions u'll go back to stock
Why would my warranty void? I talked to the shop and they just asked to send the phone without root and with stock firmware...

basically unlocking bootloader void the warranty but some international in uk and some other country they fix the phone either rooted or what ever . my country for ex. never fix it =) .. GD luck
But the code to unlock the bootloader was provided by Huawei... that makes no sense
