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:

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".

[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. Here, you can also use PC Companion or Sony Update Center if you want for updating. While updating with SUS, make you sure you perform the recommended install and do not wipe data. Once the flashing is done, turn ON the device (If using PCC or SUS you will be prompted to turn ON). During the first boot, the device might reboot. In that case, 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.

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. Else, if you used v3, you need not. (Android OS builds this file automatically if it is not available) Thanks, Rick. Hit Thanks if I helped you in anyway. . Updating from GB to ICS?
