You have to follow the instructions for a fastboot FXZ:
edit: There are multiple places you can find the FXZ, xda bionic dev forums has it I do believe, but I can't post links yet... if you google search All Things Root for Android Forums that thread has links for the small file and the complete file.
Here is a list of files you are going to need:
RSD Lite 5.5 - MD5 EAE167B9F9ABE207579F29285E9BBF84
Motorola USB Drivers (Windows only)
32-bit - MD5 417375F263AE83C973CF8F2F317F88FE or
64-bit - MD5 FACAE88CA21B0C37E99D027F1F63628D
The fastboot binary (LINUX AND OSX ONLY) - MD5: 2DC253F848307C4A33DE7E8A2580772B
The FXZ file (MINIMAL - 213MB) - MD5: 08C76A533D74060A842EF5DDEEA95A47
You also need to:
Have a Windows PC (For Linux or Mac OS X users, refer to this XDA thread)
Charge your Bionic all the way
Back up your data (SD card or Titanium for rooted users) as /data will be erased
Now that the prerequisites are over with...
How to restore (Linux and OS X)
Put the fastboot binary into its own folder
Extract all of the files from the FXZ to that folder
Enable USB Debugging and Charge Only mode or if you don't have access to the OS (soft-brick, bootloops, etc), put your Bionic into Fastboot mode by holding the volume-down button and pressing the power button. Then use the volume down button to select AP Fastboot, then the volume up to select. Continue on.
Open up a terminal, change directories to the folder you made in step 1, then run these commands:
Code:
./fastboot flash system system.img
./fastboot flash boot boot.img
./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
./fastboot -w
Shut off the phone using the power button
Turn it back on

I've done this to my phone multiple times with the unleashed on Bionic just days ago, I know the screen you're talking about... the FXZ fastboot brought me back, but i'm on Windows 7 -- wouldn't know how to navigate on Mac's
There's a sticky in the dev forum labeled Bionic FAQ.
It contains many links including this one.

Hello All,
Used the root script from Bin4ry, all went well... except at the end where it informs you "If all goes well, I'll tell you, if not this will run forever" (or words to that effect), well... it ran for a considerable time, so I disconnected everything and messed around with the phone, terminal emulator informed me that I did indeed have root access (PID: 0) I was able to access sbin etc... great I thought, but why didn't SuperUser show a dialogue requesting root access... I assumed maybe a busybox problem so I downloaded that and installed it, it all worked well... still no root dialogue, just to make 100% sure I checked with RootChecker and it confirmed I have root. So I rebooted the phone, now there is no root access and I can't seem to get Bin4ry's script to work again, I'm assuming there are maybe remnant files causing an error of some sort?
Anyway, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this and maybe provide me with a solution to rooting the thing?!

v22 and later Bin4ry versions fail on Xperia T JB at the busybox installer, so use v21 instead. If you can't find it, I can upload it to somewhere, please pm.
I think just go to your phone, this line tells you what to do next
After restore is confirmed please look on your device and choose "Service Tests

In your phone, the service menu is displayed, go to "service tests" > "display"
then just touch the screen,the color will change and the rooting process will proceed..

Why? Binary v21 works very nicely with xperia T... Interestingly, v25 seems to temporarily root it, then on reboot a factory reset is required before v21 will work. Strange.

It would have done it by now, if it hasn't done it's job in 2 minutes, it's not going to... I know it's painful, but.. restore your phone back to factory, uninstall/reinstall the Sony app from your computer and try again, it took me a fair bit of messing around, and ultimately when I got to where you were that's what did the trick.
You're also getting a "Restore started" then straight away "Restore finished" dialogue right? ... that's exactly where I was.
How this works is, the backup restore process is started and data is mounted as r/w the superuser app and busybox are put there during this time (all ninja like), but it seems it can/does fail, I'm sure someone cleverer than us can shed light as to why, but until then... start with a clean slate both on the Xperia and your computer (... a complex version of "Turn it off and turn it back on again")
I once read somewhere you have to keep tapping it every 3 or 4 second.
That's whati always do and it worked for me. I always use v21 though (just because I have it )

Fortunately I didn't have to go through all this. I went through the simple version of "turn it off and on again", and it worked. I simply disconnected my phone, rebooted it, restarted the process (twice), and it just magically worked on the third time.
Try v26 option 3. It worked fine for me. I have the Bond branded phone with locked bootloader.

I've been trying this for most of the day, having read everything here about doing it, and even watching the video.
Unfortunately, I let the phone update to 14.1.G.2.257, but I found the instructions on how to flash back to the previous 1.534. The flashing worked perfectly.
I am trying to use Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v32 having read how to and watched the tutorial. USB debugging is enabled, as is Unknown Sources, and the 'adb devices' command in the stuff folder of the afformentioned program lists the phone.
However, it does not seem to work. I get the following output:

Yes thanks, USB debugging and unknown sources are enabled. Is this the screenshot you need to see?
**Edit**
I got it to work!
I just pulled out my laptop which had a clean install of Windows 7 as of a few days ago, installed the above stuff (plus ADB drivers from pdanet) on that, and it worked.
Why it didn't work on my main PC I have no idea, but it is probably an issue with some driver somewhere messing things up. I did try reinstalling all of them, but to no avail.
Anyway, got it now. Thanks!
hi I've a kindle fire hd 7 demo store and I 've created a fastboot cable, but when I reboot into fastboot mode, Kindle Fire does not provide USB Driver for Android Debug Bridge (adb) usage (although correctly installed in windows):
HTML:
C:\adbfastboot>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C:\adbfastboot>adb kill-server
C:\adbfastboot>adb usb
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
This is the procedure that I followed:
1) Install Android SDK Development Environment and google usb driver
2) Open android_winusb.inf with notepad.
Insert these 3 lines at [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64].
;Kindle Fire HD 7
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0007
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0007&MI_01
3) Open adb_usb.ini with notepad.
Key in 0x1949. (don’t copy and paste)
Save it.
4) Browse my computer for driver software and manually install it
No error in control panel but adb don't work..
Is there another way that I can use? Please help.
I think the ADB drivers are disabled on kindle, what I do not understand is that, if I do not have the ability to enable them, how can I proceed?
