If you haven't flash any custom kernel, try this:

Choose unroot option.

Dude,
Most Xperia S custom roms for unlocked bootloader come with root and a custom kernel.
If you want to remove the root you would have to flash a stock rom using flashtool or relock the bootloader and then flash the stock rom using either PC companion or Seus.
To be honest I don't understand why your friend would want to run an unrooted custom Rom.
Hope this helps.

Probably because some weird games can't run on rooted phone (e.g. Puzzle & Dragon)

pre-roted is already rooted rom.
Bootloader is part of phone to boot your system, must bu unlocked to instal CUSTOM ROM (thah void your warranty)
also there is 2rom for locked Bootloader.
This is what the stickys are for.

Pre-rooted (already rooted)
I have just updated my Sony Xperia S from 6.1.A.0.2.45 to 6.1.A.0.2.55 via PC companion, after the update I wanted to root my phone again too allow some apps to have root access. As I went to check to see if my phone was rooted I noticed that it wasn't for my apps weren't allowed super user. I then attemted to root via Bin4ry like I did previously in version .45. It didn't work.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if it has been resolved without having to unlock the bootloader / install a custom kernel, I don't want to do either of those, I just want root. Has anyone been able to root on .55 on Stock sony ICS firmware .55?

I've been reading around and they've said Bin4ry's root method hasn't yet been updated too root .55 firmware I guesss we'll have to wat :< I hope someone posts in this thread when it's released.
yup updated mine too. now i have to restart all mods,hahahaha..but the problem is the root, will try to unlock again then install custom kernel then stock kernel to gain root, then relocked again.
Simple, downgrade to .40 , root it, install CWM, download prerooted .55 system, flash via CWM , connect to flashtool, flash stock .55 ftf only kernel and baseband ...

TrackID works after unlocking and relocking bootloader? I thougt it stops working because of loosing DRM-KEYS while unlocking a bootloader.

Download music info works again if you relock you BL, but TrackID (I think) and FB music likes via Walkman will not work anymore, so it's your decision if you want to lose that functions.
and lose your waranty... for this i rootet with my way...
Hello,
I'm one of those lucky guys who got the 2.55 build number.
Wandered around the forum for some time, seeking for a way to root my phone, but don't want to risk before being 99% sure that this may work.
As I understood, Bin4ry's method won't work with my phone, which results in need of unlocking the bootloader.
I checked its status and it shows that its Unlockable = Yes.
Now, let's say I unlock the bootloader, what should I do next? Flash a prerooted ROM?
All I could've found on forums was "UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER" and "BIN4RY'S METHOD" stuff. Maybe because people were posting about this 2.55 thing alot. Maybe not.
All I need is a n00b friendly tutorial.
Btw, I'm on 4.0.4 ICS, which is pretty obvious.
Thank you, in advance.

Unlock your bootloader and just flash an auto rooting kernel.
But if you're unlocking the bootloader you may as well flash a Jellybean rom anyway

Hi, I hope the OP doesn't mind, but I'm kinda in the same situation and I need some help from you guys, because I am currently a Samsung owner (please don't throw rocks ) and I don't really know much about flashing ROM's on Sony.
So... I have with me my brother-in-law's Xperia S with 6.1.A.0.453 (ICS 4.0.4), never been tampered with, just bought, updated to ICS and rooted with Bin4ry's method.
All great, but I was hoping to flash 6.1.A.2.55, because I heard it is the latest.
But now the hard part comes, the phone has Locked Bootloader and I can't unlock it because "Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status > Bootloader unlock allowed" says NO.
That being said, if I flash the .55, how do I root it?
I updated and rooted an Xperia U a while back, using a method of changing the kernels, something like this:
Flashing the ROM I want (the one that can't be rooted)
Flashing an older kernel from a stock Rom witch was rootable
Root it
Flash the kernel of the last ROM, and root remains.
Do you guys thing that this method will work on Xperia S?
Flashing .55
Flashing an old kernel (from 6.1.A.2.45 or other that can be rooted)
Root it
Flashing the kernel of .55 again, and hoping that the Root remains.
Also, where could I find those kernels?

Hi, I have a xperia arc s ( ics 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.587)) I rooted it from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711
I want to install a custom rom but I really don't know how (i'm a noob) so I searched for a way to install a custom rom but they all said that i have to unlock the bootloader to do so. So how do I unlock my bootloader (don't forget that my phone is already rooted) and after I unlock it how do I install custom roms. PLEASE MAKE YOUR ANSWERS NOOB-FRIENDLY.
Thank you in advance

I instaled root and recovery on z3 on locked bootloader so i was thinking maybe it was possible on z5p also
the BU is for rooting or flashing new rom?
if i want to flash stock rom with flashtool, without rooting, do i need to unlock bootloader anyway?
