[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nite4evr:
Bin4ry it's great to see you again, I was a big fan of yours since my Xperia X10. I'm having trouble rooting my backup phone, I started off with option 1 and also tried option 3. Option 1 seem to have everything successful but no SU and I tried things that require root(Titanium Bu), but no luck.

I'm using Xperia U ST25a on ICS 4.04 Baseband version u8500-49020908-P2H_EC01

Kernel version 3.08+BuildUser@BuildHost#1SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 15 14:57:07 2012

Build number 6.1.1.B.1.54

Thanks for your hard work and help!
