I have a question about PCC. What will happen when there will be some new update to download and i will plug in my rooted phone to my computer with PC Companion?
You can update using PCC. Anytime. Just that you will loose root. However, if you run the first exe from puppets thread before updating, and the second one after the completing of update, you will again get root in the new firmware that you update to.
can i just use flashtool to root the GB rom because i get stuck twice when using DoomLord toolkit
i had use flashtool to root before this and my phone was successful rooted
nevermind
successfully rooted on my third try using DoomLord's toolkit
Firstly, head over to (here) and hit thanks to puppet's thread. Also hit thanks to any of his other post. Two thanks for him per every thank to me.
I. Downgrade:
Since rooting directly in 4.0.4 is not possible, one needs to downgrade to a rootable GB ROM to root. (Skip this step if you are already in GB).
To Downgrade, you need to flash an old GB ROM ftf to your device.
Download ftfs from here (taken from ):

.
Then use flashtool to flash the ROM, as described in the images below.
II. Root the GB ROM:
(Skip this step if you are already in Rooted GB)
Download the DoomLord's Easy Root Toolkit for Xperia Gingerbreade >= .58 from here.
Extract the files somewhere.
Connect the device to the computer, and run the file "runme".
Follow onscreen instructions.
When done, device will reboot, and you should see application called SuperUser in your app drawer.
III. Preparations to root 4.0.4 ROM:
Download the XperiaRoot.rev3 from here.
Extract the files somewhere.
Connect the device to the computer, and run the file "01-local-prop".
Follow on screen instructions.
When done, /data/local.prop should be edited as desired.
Here, do not do anything on cell and directly proceed to Flashing the 4.0.4 ftf.
IV. Flash 4.0.4 ROM:
***See Note below
Download the ftf from the following links:
In case some links are dead try out this ftp site (open preferably in Internet Explorer): ftp://giosal.webhop.net/
Go to Incoming and then Sony Updates, and you can find the ftfs there. [Thanks to MSTHETERROR]
Proceed as you did in downgrading, placing the 4.0.4 firmware in /firmware folder this time; and selecting it in step 4.
In step 4, make the check boxes look like this.
Proceed with the flashing Process.
Once the flashing is done, during the first boot, the device will reboot. After second boot it will turn on normally.
In case it gets into bootloop, proceed to next step right away.
Else proceed to next step with your phone turned ON.
V. Root 4.0.4 ROM:
From the Xperia-ROOT.rev3.zip file you downloaded earlier in step 3, open the file 02-push-root-files.cmd.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Device will reboot.
Once re-boot is done, you will have SuperUser installed in the 4.0.4 ROM.
***
Note: Using this method, you can also root .62 GB firmware. For this, just flash the .62 ROM in place of 4.0.4 ROM, in step IV.
You can also use Sony Update Service, for updating to 4.0.4 (or .62 firmware) in step IV. Rest of the procedure remains the same.
Thanks,
Rick.
Hit Thanks if this post helped you in anyway.
01-local-prop.cmd not working for me

After puppet updated his script to v3, the file is removed automatically.
In case you had rooted using the earlier versions, then you need to remove the file from \data.
