It has been just a few hours since we saw Sony officially rolling out the major bug fixing update 6.2.B.1.96 firmware over previous jelly bean 6.2.B.0.211 firmware. 6.2.B.1.96 firmware has fixed all the major bugs reported in previous updates ranging from 1080p HD Video Lag, Volume up button lag, Camera issues resolved etc.
If you haven’t updated to 6.2.B.1.96 firmware on your Xperia S, SL and Acro S, check the link below to update :-
Well the great news is that DooMLoRD, renowned XDA developer has successfully rooted this new 6.2.B.1.96 firmware within an hour of its launch, let’s see how you can root 6.2.B.1.96 firmware on Xperia S, SL and Acro S.
Sony has patched the perf_event exploit ( so to root 6.2.B.1.96 firmware would have been difficult ) so DooMLoRD found another way to root by flashing back old kernel on which root exploit was working and then again re flashing the new kernel, so root is there 🙂

Thanks 🙂
I keep getting LT 26i is not supported when i try to root, I have flashed the old kernel and now trying to root. It also says “you need to manage to get remap pfn range addresses.
Anyideas please
well Lt26i is infidelity supported, many have rooted.
Try re-checking your USB drivers, switch off your phone , use another port…remove any other things which may be taking any of your ports.
Hello, I need help please, I do something stupid!
Here I tried my tablet rooter Z2 but I messed up something, let me explain:
To unlock the bootloader, I got there, it was after that it gets complicated.
I wanted to install ClockWorkMod Recovery Touch 6.0.4.6 except that on your forum I have not found the right .IMG file that corresponds with my firmware (which is the 17.1.2.A.0.314), so I look internet .IMG the corresponding file. Believing to have found, I renamed it to boot.img and I run the manipulation “fastboot flash boot boot.img” in the command prompt folder Platform tools. Except that my tablet hangs on the Sony logo, makes a funny noise, then reboot non-stop. By against ClockWorkMod Recovery Touch 6.0.4.6 been to install, I get to go overboard. Finally I got there until I make another bull****. I look a bit in the options and I saw that could deactivate or reactivate the bootloader, I know more, I clicked anyways. Now my tablet and not at all to start, I just feel a small vibration at the beginning that’s all, no logo, no light. Please a solution?
If I uninstall ClockWorkMod Recovery Touch 6.0.4.6 it can walk again?
If I find the file IMG perhaps? (I think that I made the IMG file download mobile Z2 and not the tablet).
Help please Thank you
Excuse me I’m French and I use Google Translate
im currently at 6.2.b.0.200 unrooted, iwould like to try to root my phone, do i need to have first the 6.2.b.0.211 before i can get the 6.2.b.0.96?
no directly update to 6.2.B.0.96 firmware directly and then you can root as per mentioned steps.
will this be ok for my xperia sl (LT26ii)
yes it will be fine for XS/XSL.
hi, with my Xperia SL, i have a problem.
The name of the device is changed in Xperia S lt26i and not Xperia SL lt26ii!
how do I get it back to normal?
thanks!
this happens when we flash XS kernel to XSL, in case you need to root your device which you have already done i suppose. So now you need to edit the build.prop file and change your device name back to normal.
I’ve copied the ftf file into the firmare folder in flashtool but when I go to the flashtool UI to select the ftf file,it could not be found. What do I do?
ok.got it.file size was1.3mb. just dwnlded the full size.successfully rooted now 🙂
I have two questions:
The bootloader needs to be unlocked?
I’ll have to wipe my phone back to original configuration/personalization?
Sorry about the newbie questions. I never did it before and my XPS is under warranty, so I don’t want to unlock the bootloader and lose it!
It is written that above method works on both locked as well as unlocked bootloaders please see.
you should make a full back up of data via pc companion and apks via antivirus.
It may happen that you loose your data while flashing.
P.S rooting voids warranty.
Thanks.
About the warranty, if I need to use it, I can restore the phone via pc companion, wich will make it unrooted again. I’m right or Sony still can know if it was rooted?
Yes you can restore it. As soon as you flash or update new firmware root goes and warranty is again back and sony will not come to know about it until they read this comment lol 😛
hahahaha.
Thanks!
What about Sony Xperia Acro S? is there any way to root it?
It’s easy to root Acro S, I did it last night.
If you JB installed already, just flash the new ftf of .96, but exclude (untick) the kernal, and this keep your old (.200 or .211) kernal.
After you have finished flashing the files, re-boot the phone and run Doomlords rooting program. It should work fine.
Once you have confirmed you have root, use flash tool to flash just the .96 kernal (exclude all other files, by unticking them in flash tool), and you will have rooted .96 on your Acro S.
Worked like a charm for me, took less than an hour in total, including putting on a recovery.
Thanks for tip 🙂
Acro S users, perform in same way as Ian did above 🙂
can i do the same way if i already update to .96? or down back to 0.211 then do as your method?
Hi Ian! luckily I just read your comment, late but safe, I have a xperia acro S Jelly Bean, compilation: 6.2.B.1.96, but I could not so far rootearlo, I read that you managed to do it … I would like you to explain more thoroughly as you did, or if you can make a step by step tutorial please! THANKS ..!
Ian how are you? I have time looking for the right way to rooting my xperia acro S LT26W, 6.2.B.1.96 compilation, but without success, I think you could help, serious kindly do a toturial explaining step by step how to do it? thank you!
hello brother! I think you’re the only one so far has provided some light around this problem, in my case I tried several times rooting my xperia acro s, number of compilation 6.2.b.1.96, but …. I could not because all methods are incompatible with this compilation, you would be so kind as to make a tuto to guide us? in advance .. thank you very much!
thanks i root it my acro s
Does cwm recovery works after root this rom?
I’ve Rooted My XS And After That I Flashed The 6.2.b.1.96 kernel Only And I Try To Install CWM Recovery But It Don’t Boot Into Recovery ModeBy Holding Volume Up Key , What Should I Do ?
are you doing it right, i mean do you see “blue” light being lighted ?
No,There’s No Blue Light And The Phone Boots Normally 🙁
Xperia SL 6.2.B.1.96 FTF link has been updated in post, All XSL users, please check it here- https://www.gizmobolt.com/2013/08/23/xperia-sslacro-s-6-2-b-1-96-firmware-rolled-major-update-fixed-1080p-hd-video-lag-volume-up-button-bug/
I successfully flashed 6.2.B.1.96 firmware. Then i flashed the old kernel. everything went perfect so far but when i run the rooting toolkit, it just stuck on ‘daemon started successfully’. Nothing happened after that. help please?
Did you enable USB debugging, and allow apps from unknown sources?
And do you have all the correct drivers installed?
hi anurag
is the 2g data fixed on the .96 update
yes it is 🙂
Success Root+CWM Recovery mod on my Xperia Acro S,android 4.1.2,build 6.2.b.1.96
cannot root my xperia sl 🙁
HELP!! I’ve only got to the rooting the .211 kernal and everytime I’ve run the ‘runme_win’ file and ‘pressed any key to continue’ the window comes up with a whole bunch of lines saying ‘the system cannot find the path sepcified’ and i can’t continue
Can v root xsl by the same way Ian did with Acro S??
I assume so, as long as you have the correct .96 ftf for your phone.
I can’t root my XSL 🙁
Hi! If I have the version 6.2.B.0.211 already ROOTED it is necessary to flash the “XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.0.211_KernelOnly.ftf” file, or I can jump to flash “XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_KernelOnly.ftf ” file???
See first you need to Flash the FULL JB .96 Firmware….
Then to root JB .96 firmware you need :-
# Flashing of JB .211 Kernel
# Rooting Phone
# Reflashing JB .96
OK. Thanks!
Done for Acro S! working perfectly.
Hey isn’t there any direct way for rooting jb.96
No there is not, you need to flash kernels as mentioned.
can you tell me what i must do to flash the kernel its the first time i use flashtool please tell me how to do the first step 🙁
when I open the flash tool and click on flashboot mood then –> select kernel the program put three option to chose (sin.elf.img)
but my kernel is (ftf)
??????????
plezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
heeeeeeellllllllllpppppppppp
yeeees it’s done thank you :3 🙂
A question friends, after flashing the firmware and rooteo 6.2.B.0.211 as flashing the firmware following 6.2.B.1.96 without me delete superuser icon again. I ask because I did the first and second step was flash and after rooting, and everything was going the right way, check and had the firmware installed and rooteado 6.2.B.0.211 with superuser icon, but then continued to flash the firmware 6.2 . B.1.96 and when you start the phone was no longer root. What I have to do, as I set the flashtool, wipe options remain the same.?? I would appreciate your answers
Read the instructions and follow them carefully is what you need to do.
1. Flash the .96 firmware EXCEPT the kernel. (you can choose to exclude the kernel in flash tool).
2. Root the .96 firmware.
3. Flash the .96 Kernel (exclude everything except the kernel of .96 in flash tool).
4. Enjoy rooted .96
Muchas gracias ian, ya pude solucionar el problema, todo hecho de manera correcta como indicaste.

plz help me out, thnks in advance…..
Hi
I cant download the files somehow. My anti-virus also throws a pop-up notification about the dangerous conents of the website. Even when I switch it off, the download link gets me to download an .exe file of 342 kb which offcourse is an infection (I think so). Anyway, Can some body let me know if there is somethin I may be missing out on.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Also, I have another doubt. I flashed .211 ftf file a few months ago and my phone is already rooted and I am running PacMan 4.2.2. Now I want to switch to another ROM for which I would need .96 kernel. So should I flash the .96 firmware or should I just flash the kernel? My sole purpose to switch to another ROM is to get my phone to run faster(less lag) and have more RAM. Your blog says with new firmware we would have more RAM available to us. So would it make sense to just flash the whole firmware and not have any ROM cz my purpose will anyways be served with that (i.e, more RAM). Waiting for a response on this.
Thanks guys ! I have finally rooted my Xperia S. I have one question to ask… How can I now install CWM to be able to install a different ROM?? I tried different ways and methods every single time the installation was successful however there is no way to access it. When I am trying to reboot in the recovery mode the CWM appears on the screen for about 0.1 sec something is automatically selected and the phone begins to boot as usual.
Please give me some advice what can be going wrong!!! Thanks
