If you unlock bootlader you will be able to install custom kernel. And you ll get OC, UV, swap support, tethering and much more built in kernel. Also custom kernel will improve overval speed of device.
You cant fix it with sonys update, you have to relock bootloader using S1 Tool.

if i do something wrong while i unlocking the bootloader and the phone bricks , will this be forever ? Can i fix it ?

follow step by step please don't make any mistake while relock bootloader
(b'coz it just very simply step)
not forever..U can sent to any phone store and U have to wait how long they take

You would really pay $29.99 to get your V rooted....wow...

Actually I awaiting for anyone to root the Sony Xperia V with Jelly Bean without unlocking bootloader. I have rooted with my smartphone by unlocking the bootloader which was a mistake as problems with broken mobile bravia and download music info from Walkman app would not work. Fortunately I upgraded to Jelly Bean via pc companion fixed it all so I will not unlock my bootloader again.
I just contacted Root Android my questions so I wait and see.

OK,
The "issues" with bravia and walkman are not really issues at all. They are fully explained onthe Sony site that they will lose functionality and also they explain why.

And what are those explained please?
Link me a website if you will or have time please.

google
unlock bootloader sony
first hit
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
you will have had to "read" and agree to this before you unlocked the bootloader of your phone.

As I said I do not want to unlock my phone again as it been repaired by upgrading to Jelly Bean for my download music info on walkman app now worked again.
I want to root without unlocking the bootloader.

you have to unlock the bootloader but after it all you can flash a relock ftf.
Not sure if it fixes the BE or walkman but thats up to you to read up on it

I did do a relock otherwise I would not been able to to update to Jelly Bean via pc companion, ultimately fixing the walkman and BE.
So are you saying my device would have to be unlocked then root it and there is no other way?

currently yes, there is no other way. But that thread says you can relock and keep root... read the thread

Yes with the risk of removal security drm keys ultimately breaking the download music info gain. Yet it can be relocked but still does not fix the problem I think if I am right.
I rather you or people on the link thread to take the risk you gave me is the reason why I already asked the question but got no response as of yet.

Nice to know you want others to take the risk... This forum is about sharing...maybe you could be the first and share the good news with others

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?

I know a thread where Sony Xperia S smartphones I think have fixed it, just have and wait and see, probably not.

help information needed**

hi, new to the forum and android for that matter was looking for some advice and information i have just renewed my contact the the carrier threeuk and took the sony xperia z (great phone) , i was reading about customs roms and all the other great stuff on this forum but i have a few questions :
when try to unlock the bootloader mine says "no" which is im guessing down to 3 uk blocking this so if i flashed and debranded the xz would that enable me to have "yes" in the service settings or do i have to contact 3 and somehow hope they would allow me to do this and if not and i still cant unlock my bootloader would there be any sort of hack or something in the future that might enable this to happen
thanks in advance for any feedback

AFAIK, if your device says "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO", there's no way to unlock it.
There are roms that work with BL locked also, if you're interested.
The only reason (For now) to unlock BL would be CM or Custom kernel.

In order to install 4.2.2, you need a CM based rom, so you'll need an unlocked bootloader.
The first thing you need to do is check if your bootloader is unlockable, so take a look at this thread.
After that, you need root and CWM (Locked BL, Unlocked BL).
Then, you need to find the rom you want (CM, PAC, AOKP (Kanged), among others). You can find more under development or original development sections. (These roms will work ONLY IF YOU HAVE UNLOCKED YOUR BL).
If you can't unlock your bl, you can also install Sony based roms, such as KA, RomAur, among others.

If you can't unlock your bl, you can also install Sony based roms, such as KA, RomAur, among others and install a launcher.

In each mod's thread are the instructions. Normally, is the way you say, but there are variations if we have locked bl.

[Q] Which ROM on 11W41?

Hey mates!
I have a rooted and custom recoveried X8, which is not a big deal.
Also, it is 11W41 so according to what I've read its bootloader cannot be unlocked without hard brick the device. Am I right?
I'd like to know if there is a ROM that works on this little baby that does NOT require unlocking the bootloader.
Cheers

Thats a good question...
I think u need to check the Bravia Engine.. Turn off Bravia Engine and open a image from Album
Then Enable Bravia Engine and again open the same image from Album.. U can easily find out the difference...
But i think if the guy selling the mobile does not know much things in Android about rooting and flashing means probably it will b a Locked Bootloader...

ty for your answer , how is the best way to see the difference , if i screen shot when bravia engine is of then another screen shot when bravia enging is on , and put the screen shots on pc , will be any difference ?
because in my xperia s didn't found the difference when i unlocked bootloader
