Hallo, this is boot image propertly packed with included all 3 files inside (kernel, ramdisk and elf.3), unsecured and in SIN format + my version of the CWM recovery! Here is tutorial how to propertly root your Xperia Sola!
Before you going to install this "pack" you need to unlock your bootloader!
After unlocking bootloader procedure for installing boot image and root tools is:
install boot image:

• fastboot flash boot boot.img

install root tools:

• adb remount
• adb push su /system/xbin/
• adb push busybox /system/xbin/
• adb install Superuser.apk
• adb shell
• cd /system/xbin
• chmod 6755 su
• chmod 6755 busybox
• /system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin/

Than you are done! Just last step you need to do:

• establish internet connection on your phone
• go to aplications
• run superuser
• under superuser menu click to "tap to ckeck for updates" (see picture http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/209...1209151603.png) and update your super user... make sure to give and "remember" permision for superuser app!

Done!
Note: I have no Xperia Sola so this is untested version! Please test and let me know if something is strange... I am sure everything wil be ok! Enjoy!
Kernel source:

• I have no source, just used prebuilt kernel from firmware 6.0.B.3.184 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1824535

Tip and tricks for my CWM version:

• Did you know about our CWM that you can change menu and text colors, backgrounds? Yes you can do it by puting menu.txt into ramdisk /res/images folder by writing to menu.txt for example:
  122,122,122,255,255,255
  First 3 numbers is rgb color for menu and seccond 3 numbers is rgb color for text !!!
