You have to wait until DooM update CMW for this firmware or u need unlocked bootloader.....
THIS WORKS ON BOTH LOCKED & UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS!
BTW if someone needs a full FTF of this new firmware here it is: XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_1257-6919.ftf - 485.30 MB
[ proof ]
[ NOTICE ]
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE XPERIA S/SL (LT26i/ii) FW 6.2.B.1.96!
DO NOT USE IT ON ANY OTHER VARIANT/FIRMWARE!

You can work on a method easier to root as the previous?
I love your work

- Download the three files from the download section below
- open FlashTool and flash the XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.0.211_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.36 MB file, this is JUST the kernel of an older firmware which was rootable
- now once flashing is done reboot device and connect to PC in usb debuggin mode
- CLOSE FLASHTOOL <<< VVVIMP STEP
- extract the file DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip to root directory on c:\
- execute runme_ file corresponding to your OS on desktop PC, this will execute a SPECIAL version of my easy rooting toolkit <<< VVVIMP STEP
- the above step is crucial! if you use any older version of the toolkit then IT WILL NOT WORK!
- after rooting is over the device will restart
- you can verify if device is rooted by checking for SuperSU app (it is the newest version)
- once thats done now power down device and open FlashTool again
- now flash XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.33 MB file to get back to the true kernel for the firmware
- thats it after flashing is done just disconnect and power on device and enjoy rooted phone!

IDIOT quoting the OP again...
CWM from this thread works on .96: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2308493
Worked! Thanks for the tip!
Very happy with the new ROM and kernel does it's job perfectly, RAM management is very good!
Can someone tell me, why my WLAN is gone? I could not activate it.
What I do:
1. Full wipe
2. Install Doomkernel for .200
3. Flash clean .200 FW
4. Walk through this HowTo
After all done, WLAN is gone. In settings shows me the old .200 FW-Version.
What I do wrong?

Dont use .200 kernel in new Version, Flash the original Kernel like DoomLord says in the OP.
I just do so. I started with a full clean .200 FW.
Then I go through the OP:
- Install .211 kernel
- DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18
- install .96 kernel
All without errors, but WLAN (WiFi) is disabled.
u need to be on .96 firmware for rooting to work and for ROM to work correctly!
Well he actually has a point, no need to quote the OP in it´s entirety! :silly:

So guys I have got root on the newest firmware 6.2.B.1.96!
Since Sony has patched our beloved perf_event exploit (with which we rooted 30+ Xperia devices) I had to find an alternate way... so I did the smart thing, just used the kernel on which the exploit works, root the device and flash back the newest kernel!
THIS WORKS ON BOTH LOCKED & UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS!
