I tried flashing MIUI image file using fastboot method but when i loaded the image the process exited with an error.
Device not rooted.
well I did used the method in the above mentioned thread and super use is installed. I even used su command and rom manager couple of times and it worked ?
Then why I am getting the error ?
What possible could be the issue and the solution to it ?

Can you tell me what exactly you want to achieve ? Basically you want to enjoy the benefits of rooting and trying out mods, right ?
For root (if the ROM is not pre rooted) use Flashtool to root using Adb Restore hack root method. Easy and simple way.
@comp@ddict
Link him to a good custom ROM please

I don't think the ROM I flashed as mentioned the XS thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029756 . I used the shell script to root the device ? Doesn't that make the ROM rooted ?

That method is a bit of a hit n miss, at least in my experience.
Can you tell me what's the latest sola firmware version ?
Can you tell me what's the latest sola firmware version ?
6.1.1.B.54 something.
Now here is the catch - If I power on the device and use flashtool it says Root Access Allowed.
Now if I boot into fastboot method to flash it says "failed (The Device must be rooted first) "
Dang. What now !
Paste of the log - Flash error - Pastebin.com

Update to latest firmware using PC companion. Then Root via Flashtool Adb Restore hack and then Install CWM via fastboot.
Not tried anything with MIUI on my go, will not be able to do for the coming week as well because I shall be out-station.
I suggest you use Binary's Root for ALL method
The tutorial is given as ROot 6.1.1.B.54 FW in the SOLA thread. Use that. Root it (that's how i used to root, till I unlocked my Bootloader)

Ok tried the flashtool it cant root it. It goes into restore mode -> reboot the device and end up with an error.

GUYS I am facing a very strange kind of problem with my Xperia s. While playing songs, the song suddenly pauses for 1 to 3 seconds and starts back again, I thought this must be an application specific problem so I removed player pro which I used for playing songs and started using walkman app but the problem occurs in that too, tbe song files are fine, not corrupt because untill two days back everything was fine. Any solutions and suggestions?
I already tried the restart, it didnt work at all. What else can I do if this is.low ram issue? What else do is do so that I can reduce ram.usage? Should I remove.applications? Data? What?
An update.
Xperia S/Ion/Acro S will get 4.1.2 and then 5.0.
Go/P will stop at 4.1.2
U and Sola owners are in for a surprise next month

Can you please look at the problem I have stated, I need help. Also are we, XS users going to get jellybean next month.
Why doesn't P feature in the 5.0 roadmap? Its got quite capable hardware. Sony isn't doing any good to its existing customers by employing such policies. I've got a P for my wife and not yet decided on my next phone. I don't have a budget for the flagship (Z) and such uncertainty for the mid-range models would prompt me to look elsewhere.
Anyways, good to hear something special for sola and go users is on the cards.

It isn't due to the fact that Sony doesn't wanna care about P owners. ST-Ericsson isn't providing newer drivers for Novathor chipset beyond 4.1.2. Not just Sony, but any phone with NovaThor chipset will not get updated beyond 4.1.2 as ST-Ericsson isn't willing to help out OEMs.
@sam9953
How much FREE Ram you get generally buddy? And what browser you use?

How do I check my free ram, I dont think I have installed any app to do that. Secondly, I use Google chrome for browsing.
