[Q] xperia s & root jb 4.2.1 - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
My xperia s got the official Sony update to jb 4.1.2 and (ofcourse) I lost the root.
Is there any way to root my device again?
Bootloader cannot be unlocked!
Tried Bin4ry v30, but no result!
Can I flash from jb 4.1.2 to jb-prerooted? (bootloader cannot be unlocked)
Can I downgrade to ics and than upgrade to jb-prerooted?
Hope somebody has a suggestion/answer.
Thanks

How do you have 4.2.1 when sony never released it

Sorry, must be jb 4.1.2 (6.2.B.0.200)

OK, this is what I did.....
1 Use Flashtool to downgrade to ICS
2 Install RecoverX (FIXED) for ICS
3 Copy JB Prerooted to sd-card (don't unzip!!)
4 Reboot in recovery and install JB-Prerooted
5 Have fun!!
Thanks to everyone who made this possible.......:good:

[Q] Updating official rom from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 AND root

My tab is originally in 4.0.4 with root.
Then, I flashed the official firmware of 4.1.1 via ODIN to my tab.
I think the official 4.1.1 is not that smooth.
It is safe for me to upgrade with existing root?? Do I need to flash again??
Also, how to root the 4.1.1??
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Rooting my xperia J

I recently upgraded my xperia J to the official 11.2.A.0.2.1 (4.1.2) firmware but i kinda want 4.2 on it now..the problem is i cant seem to root it on the current firmware...is there any way i can root it without downgrading.apparently u need a rooted device to downgrade and i cant root..so im kinda stuck.,
You down grade by flashing a stock firmware ftf file with flashtool so you dont need root to flash stock roms. I don't think there is a 4.2 rom for xperia j bro. there are root tutorials in general section for rooting jb for locked & unlocked bootloaders moke sure you follow the right one.

[Q] HELP ME i want to Upgrade my Xperia Miro to Jellybean

Is there any way i can upgrade to jellybean using its Firmware FTF file by flashtool . i try to upgrade throught jellybean ROM two times but both times my cell got softbrick . i wanted a working verison of jellybean . Does i have to upgrade Kerner to ??
There is no firmware for the Miro to upgrade to jelly bean. The only way to do it is to unlock your bootloader, flash a jelly bean kernel (from the custom ROM you want to use) and then flash the custom ROM.
