WARNING!ROOTING will void your your warranty and may brick your phone so do it on your own responsibility
Requirements
1- Flashtool from here
2- ftf files by Option58 11.0.A.2.10 11.0.A.5.5
3- ROOT file by Bin4ry here
4- Sony PC companion for all the drivers
5- Xperia Miro!
First of all you will check your device firmware (Settings > about) and see your firmware if it is 11.0.A.5.5 so you will do all the steps , if 11.0.2.10 you can skip to step 2
Also you have to check "Android Debugging" in settings > Developer options and check Unknown sources in settings > security
Step One :
You have to flash to 11.A.2.10 (downgrade) to be able to root so we will use flashtool that we have downloaded , so open flashtool , connect your device and drag the .ftf file of 11.0.2.10 to it

root your xperia tipo without downgrading
Many peoples claimed root for last Xperia Tipo update (both International 11.0.A.4.22 and Vodafone 11.0.A.4.25)because of the boost of performances of the phone. With this 2 updates the antutu benchmark app shows an increased value of score.DISCLAIMER: if your phone becomes a brick I'm not responsible of the damage.
1. Unlock your bootloader from xperia developers site (search on google)
2. Download freeXperiaProject CM10
3. Do a backup of your firmware from Sony Ericsson Update Service, copying the entire folder of Sony Ericsson update service to another folder.
Download flashtool from the link at the bottom of the post
Convert you files using Decrypt files function from the Tools menu of flashtool, selecting the folder where you saved files from Sony Ericsson Update Service
Select the 3 files having the beginning of the name FILE_
Add all the list of files to move them on the right
It will create a ftf file to flash from flashtool
Put it into the folder firmwares of flashtool
open it with win rar and save kernel.sin
From now follows these steps carefully.
Put the kernel.sin and the boot.img into you fastboot's root folder (example android-sdk-windows/platform-tools)
Shut down your xperia tipo
Press volume up key and keep it pressed when connecting your USB cable
Go on fastboot and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img
Type fastboot reboot
When the led becomes pink press the volume up key a lot of times
You should be into cwm recovery
Download the SuperSu flashable zip for universal root (link at the bottom of the post)
put it into your sdcard by mounting it (recovery will mnount external sd via usb)
unmount your usb and mount system, then go to install zip from sdcard -> apply zip from external storge (or sdcard)
apply the SuperSu zip
Detach you usb cable and remove the battery for about 30 seconds
reinsert battery and do not power on yyour device; press the fastboot volume up button and connect the usb cable
go back to fastboot and type fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
You are done, reboot your tipo and enjoy it rooted!

4) Once your xperia e has fully booted up, go back onto flashtool and select the ARROW Icon and browse for the Framaroot APK & Install.
Why is the ARROW Icon in my flashtool unclickable? It is gray, not black like the BOLT Icon.

Arrow icon is for isntalling apks.
Go to phone settings,developer options>enable usb debugging and then security>Allow installation from unknown sources,and then connect phone to usb.

but I have those options on in the Xperia and the flashtool still doesn't recognize the debugging as on.
I have installed Sony PC Companion because I read somewhere that the drivers would be fully intalled byy this program but the problem remains the same

I took a sreenshot of my Xperia E showing the Usb debugging on (I also have thicked the "Allow installation from unknown sources"), but if you look at the log in the flashtool it says device connected without usb debugging...
Root your Xperia E
Before proceeding any further you need
to download the required stuff in order to
be ready to Root Sony Xperia E (C1504/5) -
New Firmware 11.3.A.2.23 or Old
Firmware
Download ADB Drivers

Impactor
Now that you have downloaded both of
the above mentioned stuff you can now
move on to the procedure section.
On your Sony Xperia E
go to Settings->
Developer options->
Check USB Debugging .
Again go to Settings->
Security-> Check
Unknown Sources.
Now Turn off your
Antivirus because it
sometimes conflicts in
between the process.
You can activate it
again after the rooting
process is complete.
Now connect your
Xperia E to PC and open
AdbDriverInstaller .
Click on Install.
This software
automatically
downloads all the
drivers you need. Close
the installer after the

done.
Open Impactor.zip and
click on Impactor.exe

I was able to find an easy method of rooting and installing clockwork mod recovery on the Sony Xperia tipo ST21a (should also work on the st21i model) with a locked bootloader.
What you need:
1) a Windows PC
2) a sony xperia tipo
3) a working internet connection
4) usb cableto connect your phone
5) unlockroot pro
6) the zip file for cwm
so first of all, we need to download the program unlockroot pro [37.94MB] download link is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By158glMMBkhMVNBTGtyYnZpem8/edit
once its downloaded, run the installer and follow the instructions provided. after this is installed, run it. you will be asked for a code, just enter this: URPTKVMURDKBFEYNOFUK
there shoul be obvious direction from there to root the phone
after the phone has rebooted, make sure you have usb debugging enabled (settings -> development -> usb debugging) and you will need the zip packege to install cwm which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/tipo-clockworkmod-t2003069 along with the instructions on ow to install it (it's really straight foward )
thanks, and i hope this helps
