Tutorial:
1. reboot to fastboot (shutdown device, pres and hold volumeup+connect usb to your computer, you will see blue led which mean you entered phone into fastboot mode)
2. unlock boot loader if you have bootloader not unlocked (go to Sony site for tutorial)
3. in the same window where you unlocked boot loader flash boot.img (extract them from zip archive and put into the same folder with fastboot.exe) by command:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
4. next command:
fastboot reboot
5. wait 4 diferent led colors and press volume up or down button after vibration to enter into recovery mode
6. go to mounts and storage and open mount external storage sub menu, mount internal sdcard and put our zip archive into sdcard, remount sdcard, back into main menu
7. install zip trought menu "install zip from sdcard"
8. busybox is included in zip and will be automatically installed
9. su binary is included but is compatible only with Superuser.apk!!! If you want to install SuperSu.apk you need to change su binary because curent su binary is compatible only with Superuser.apk !!!
10. install Superuser.apk from Playstore
11. you are done, reboot again your phone
Do not use flashtool for rooting! Do not use bin4ry for rooting! Do not install another busybox. I tested everything only by using methods from this OP, all other untested methods will be ignored and I will ignore you (and maybe stop all developments related to Xperia Go if you iratate me by your negative comments) if you not folowing current OP and if you report here bad things about boot image after not folowing me here! Our boot image is tested only on STOCK ROM AND NOT ON TWEAKED ROMS!!! DO NOT REPORT HERE ANYTHING IF YOU USE MODIFIED STOCK ROM!!!

Hi.
You need to unlock the bootloader before you use flashtool.
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Read it carefully and follow the instructions. This will help you to unlock the bootloader.
After that you can use the flashtool, use fastboot mode then.
i just flashed boot.img but when i downloaded superuser and supersu it said that su binary is not found...so how is this boot.img prerooted?

Here is the tutorial for Installing stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM plus root and CWM. I am not responsible or anyone mentioned below for bricking your phone in case, tested on my Xperia ray with unlocked bootloader using S1 tool.
Requirements
Unlocked Bootloader (preferred) although there is a work around for locked bootloader
4.0.2.A.0.62 FTF files
Flashtool
recoveryRay.img by and Rootxperia.zip b1n4ry (for rooting)
CWM
Installation:
How to Install stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM:
Download this stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM. Thank you Aire for providing the link.
After download you will have a zip file. Extract it.
Download flashtool here and extract it.
Create FTF file using flashtool from the 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM zip you extracted earlier. Now if you don't know how to create FTF files, there's a good tutorial here.
If you successfully created FTF file, you should see a file with extension “.ftf” in the “firmwares” folder inside “FlashTool” folder
Run the executable “X10FlashTool.exe” located in the FlashTool folder
Now click “Flash” button and select flashboot. Now select the firmware from the popup menu. Make sure “Wipe user data” box is checked and then click “OK”.
The application will ask you to put your Ray in flashboot mode, to do this turn off the phone, hold the volume down button while while connecting the USB cable to your computer.
Follow the on screen instruction and your device will reboot. Notice that the reboot process will take longer at first.
How to install Root
Please note that this is only applied to devices with unlocked bootloader. Alternately, you can just install a custom kernel and root using zergrush method but if you want to try the .62 kernel from this stock rom then do this.
Download rootxperia.zip here and place it in your sd card
Enter device in fastboot mode. Turn off phone, hold volume up while you connect the USB cable to computer
Download the recoverRAY.img provided below, you will get a zip file, extract it.
Open folder inside Flashtool where fastboot.exe exists (/FlashTool/x10flasher_lib)
Place the recoveryRAy.img inside the folder
Open command line in this folder
Test if it recognize your device, to do this type fastboot devices, if there is a result here proceed.
Now here's the tricky part, to enter a temporary recovery type fastboot boot recoveryRAY.img
*Notice that we didn't use fastboot flash boot ****.img here because as bin4ry said this recovery is designed to work just as recovery, if you flash it to your device it will NOT boot system anymore! This is just a temporary recovery for you so be careful not to flash it.
Now wait and your phone will reboot, you will see the FREE XPERIA splash screen and your device will now enter temp CWM recovery
On your phone choose install custom zip, locate the rootxperia.zip you added earlier in your SD card and flash it.
Reboot, your device is now rooted.
*to root your device with locked bootloader, they say you can install previous stock kernel and root using zergrush method.
How to install CWM
Download this then extract
Make sure you enabled USB debugging, and also you need to set Screen timeout to 10 minutes so you don't miss the superuser promt
Run install-cwm1.cmd from the folder
Follow screen on screen instruction, reboot.

Aire said, his current kernel supports .62 but they are currently working for repack based on this new firmware.
I haven't tried installing any custom firmware at the moment, I want to test this stock firmware for changes and improvement especially the baseband and battery consumption.

Hm ok, btw, can you post the original link for rootxperia.zip?
EDIT: sorry you already did that thanks!
UPDATE: I'm trying to do SEUS update now though. Hope this thing won't brick..
UPDATE 2: SEUS update won't brick our phone if it uses the Testpoint method O what a happy day it is.. Let's see if i can flash aire kernel back.
is that a global version or what ? some people said, that version has some bugs..
can we root this version with the new DoomLord v4 Root ?
from the Arc forum, i found that they can root their device with .62 firmware just by using flashtool.. can we do that so ?
thx

The firmware is provided by Aire, however if you encounter ftf generic firmware, it will be nice if you post it here.
As to bugs, I'm using this firmware for a day now and I noticed improvement in battery and speed, no bugs so far. I haven't tried the doomlord v4 root, but rooting via recovery is easy.

O that.. That means you need to unlock the bootloader (at least with Test Point method). Never thought that won't work before.
most download link from MultiUpload cannot download the firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM, any alternative link?

If your bootloader is still locked you can not root your device using that method. The only work around is to install previous kernel and root using zergrush method.

Thank you "idareyoutoclickthis" and "hansip87" for your replies.
In fact I had rooted my Ray earlier 4.0.2.A.0.42ver using the zergrush method using DooMLoRD_v4_Root Which I lost when I upgraded to 4.0.2.A.0.62ver. Now DooMLoRD_v4_Root won't work with 4.0.2.A.0.62ver update.
Now what about the bootloader thing? Sorry for being so dumb. Can you please elaborate a bit? I've got only got to the point wherein i checked the status using the service menu (*#*#.....#*#). It only says Rooting Status: Bootloader unlocking allowed: Yes.
What do I have to do now? Please help.

Indeed .62 is the latest built which include alot of improvements specially on batter issue.
If you don't want custom rom and kernel and is contented with the stock ROM and kernel then you don't need to unlock your bootloader.
to root your device, you need to flash stock 4.0.2.A.0.42 kernel only, you can do this with locked bootloader and root using zergrush method.

Can anyone help me. From vietnam
First of all, im newbie and i dont know much about this
I installed new wolfbreak v7 rom on xperia x10 but i cant get wifi working. I've read that i need doomlord's unlocked bootloaders so i downloaded .ftf file but i cant flash it, i get this in flashtool (newest version):
17/007/2012 13:07:13 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
I was following this thread but i cant get it to flash.
And i know i need that CWM recovery to flash the wifi.zip file but how do i get that recovery.
If anyone can tell me how do i unlock bootloader on my phone (xperia x10). My phone is not sim-unlocked, only rooted.
Initially (from a shop) in the phone the bootloader is locked.
If you want to flash a kernel for unblocked bootloader, then at first it is needed to execute procedure of unlocking of bootloader.
how do i do that?

Hi, I'm on wolf's Rom.
First of, did you make a clean install starting from 2.1?
Then after rooting your phone & putting xrecovery onto it, you have to unlock your bootloader with the same flashtool. ( plug in phone & press unlock bootloader in flash tool)
After that's done, enter xrecovery, wipe everything(factory reset etc.) & install Wolf's Rom for UB Important is, do not reboot, take out your battery & flash dooms kernal through flash tool!!
When that's done, you can install dooms WiFi fix through xrecovery!!
Hope I could help you out

For all of you having problems with unlocking bootloader. Simply follow this(I did this with Wolfbreak's v7 ROM on):
1. Download the latest Flashtool v0.6.7.0(you can get it here)
2. Run it, then plug the device.
3. (In flashtool) Go to Plugins> Unlock bootloader.
4. Follow the instructions in flashtool(always look at the log)
5. Done, your bootloader is unlocked.
Hope this helps
Download link is not reuploaded
EDIT: Oh and yeah, don't forget to install the flashtool drivers, it can be found on the install directory "Flashtool\drivers". If a message appears while installing just click "Install this driver anyway" it will appear many times, just keep on clicking it til installation is done. Good Luck everyone!

Hi all,this is an advanced version of the ics 4.1.B.0.587/4.1.B.0.431/4.1.A.0.562 officials kernel.
The only differences with stock one are Touch Recovery CWM,min. freq. of processor set at 122 Mhz(for better battery drain)and some other ramdisk optimizations(data collect removed).
So,if you don't need overclock etc..,and you want a stable/optimized kernel,Install it with fastboot.
ROOT:enter in recovery and install the supersu zip in the attachment.
UPDATE1:Added 4.1.B.0.431 Official Version .
UPDATE2:Added 4.1.B.0.587 Official Version .

Well I think it's a bit early, just wish the Xperia community was bigger.
So nice phones but Sony aren't that big in US.

Whether you are on GB or ICS? Have you tried this? It also has a tutorial for rooting ICS. But in either case, you need have your GB ROM.
I dont have the ROM and i cant find any

- Reflash your phone with current firmware using Sony Update Service
- Copy the blobs Update Service caches from the update to local directory
- Use Flashtool to decrypt and recreate the tft from the blobs
- Unzip the ftf and unpack the boot image together with to kernel
- Edit /default.prop and set ro.secure=0
- Repack the root initramfs file system
- Create a new boot image with the root filesystem and the kernel
- Unlock the boot loader
- fastboot the new image (no need to flash it)
- "adb shell" to the phone, you are now the root user
- remount /system read-write
- add busybox, su and whatever you like
Check www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB77gWRUI_A for details about getting your original image.
See http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/ about building the boot image.

Ah, strange. Update Service is supposed to reinstall the same version already installed. Maybe Sony not yet updated their servers.
Still I believe you can work around this. The nice thing about Sony Xperia is that when you unlock its bootloader, you can boot your phone over usb using fastboot without having to flash the image. I.e. a single one-time-boot of your image, without any permanent modifications of your phone.
This means you can always try booting another boot image than the original. It don't have to work perfect, just brining the devices up so you can access it via usb and "adb shell". It need to use the same disk devices (mount right partition at right mount point), so try using a image from another Xperia and hope for the best. You can check the mount points using the command "mount" in the shell, compare with the mount points of some other Xperia you can get the ROMs to.
So download a Xperia ROM from XDA, edit ro.secure=0, recompile the boot image again and try fastboot the phone (do not flash it!). If it boots, don't care if everything things isn't working properly, just transfer su and busybox to /system/bin and then halt and restart the phone - this time from the internal flash (= original image), and you got the phone using its original image, but with the su and busybox you need to become root.
Again - do not flash your image, only boot the phone with it. If you flash it, and don't got the original image to restore back, your phone is bricked.
Problem solved.

Myself I actually prefer the official way instead of hacks I don't know what side effects they may or may not have, but that's me. I'm sure it's possible using some exploit, but I can't help you there, sorry.
Hi guys,
I created ftf from blobs and unzip ftf.
I used Nero Young guide to make custom rom (kernel), but when I need to add boot.img to my kitchen folder, I can't find it.
I tried to follow this guide http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/, but without success. I also try SIN2IMG, mkbootimg... but nothing
Can someone tell me another way to make boot.img, or upload boot.img for ST27i.

So just a heads up here, i managed to test the CWM, it works! Just that i think people might find it hard to go into recovery mode. Have your phone TURNED OFF. HOLD VOLUME UP + POWER BUTTON at the same time. Once a blue flash and the first vibration occurs, you can now immediately release the POWER BUTTON. But keep holding onto the VOLUME UP BUTTON. Once the Boot logo shows up followed by the 2nd vibration, you can now immediately release the VOLUME UP BUTTON. You'll go into CWM Mode
Ok, just a little report. I just had 2 FCs now after installing it yesterday. Not a big issue to me. I'm guessing i should just fix permissions.
I suggest you write a new topic in Xperia sp forum
我建议你在Xperia sp论坛再发一个帖子

Ofcourse u need root acces.. And for now root is available only for Unlocked Bootloader..
Here it is

Do at your own risk... But if u unlock ur bootloader means u will lost ur DRM key with Bravia Engine 2...
The SU binary and busybox seems to be installed incorrectly. There is no request for superuser access and many scripts have problems finding busybox. I have to flash a superuser zip and install busybox manually.
Thank you so much for this CWM! But i've few questions!!
I'm first gonna flash Extended Stock Kernel,Then my phone is rooted!!
Inorder to get CWM, i flash this kernel, does that mean, i will lose the essentials of the extended stock kernel (root+features)??

Just flash this kernel and there will be root and cwm. No need to flash other kernel. Only unlocked bootloader need.
After flashing install Superuser or SuperSU from market and update su binary.

cool Thanks! will give it a try
I re-flashed the stock kernel via flashtool and the .ftf, but now my phone refuses to charge turned off...is there any way to fix this?
Use the power off button at the back to make sure its turned off. Then try flashing again and rebooting...
