hello folks,
I have just installed the new 253 FW via PC Companion after relocking and restoring my TA partition via this wonderful tutorial and everything is smooth and perfect.
i'm planning to re-unlock my BL again to flash doomkernel which is very good in terms of battery life and performance (20+hrs regular uses/5hrs screen on time for me) and I was wondering if doomkernel v06 is compatible with the new 253 firmware?
thx in advance.

I'm not "enraged" so please don't take offense, but you could/should just try things instead of asking, it could have taken all of 5 minutes to find out yourself, or look in the kernel thread where it might already have been answered.
Guys.. Yes, it works as long as you have an unlocked boot loader. tested and confirmed.

I have a question, is it necessary to relock your bootloader before updating the firmware.

It most definately is not
& I can confirm that DoomKernel still works, both kernels are 4.1.2 based and there are no major changes (if any) between the 350 and 253 kernel.

Hello nice people of this forum, I've just got myself an Xperia V, running 9.0.1.D.0.10, and is looking for a method to root it without unlocking the bootloader.
I've tried googling it and searching the forums but came back empty. Perhaps some nice person can help me.
Thanks,

If you look in v android development there is an unsecure kernel, but this is for older firmware, maybe it works

Hi funiewski,
I have tried rooting by flashing that kernel but I don't seems to get root when I check with the root checker app. Would you be able to advise on this? I would have posted in that thread but apparently I don't have enough post count.

There may be a way to root without unlocked bootloader
Try this well-known way of rooting Xperia AX in Japan.
I guess it's also possible for V to root.
1. Here is a Xperia VL's old rom and you can flash this kernel.sin and system.sin with V's loader.sin.
I can't post the link, but you can find it in uploaded.net. The ID is 3gvvv3w6.
2. Then, Root.
3. Create /data/local.prop (ro.kernel.qemu=1).
4. Flash V's system.sin without wiping.
5. Replace ric, install Busybox and Superuser.
6. Flash V's kernel.sin without wiping.
7. Do Factory data reset to easily delete unnecessary apps.

currently the only way is to unlock your bootloader.
But you could try flashing the .140 stock kernel, rooting using bin4rys method, then flashing the .141 kernel back. I have heard people talk about that method but not heard anyone say it has been successful yet
so easy
i've got a tool

From the last threads, If I understand well, I guess the best method method is the following :
1- To come back to .140
2- To root it with Bin4ry's method
3- To install the .141 rooted and deodexed proposed by TiMiN8R
Am I right ?

Yes, after rooting though you need to install recovery for locked bootloader in irder to flash the .141 .zip from Timin8r

no, just flash a .140 ftf from the all in one thread using flashtool
EDIT but if you are doing that to root it, there is no need, just use the latest doomlord version to root on .141

Jeese..... Its about 30min to root .266 with Locked Booloader. Dont gramble all the time.
When someone find a simple method than you will have it. For now there isnt any other than flash .254 at first. Just do it and enjoy.

So you can make your TA Backup once on rooted 4.1.2, then you are free to root your 4.3 and lock your bootloader with restoring TA..

The only difference I can think of is that with an unlocked bootloader you can flash custom ROMS, which can't be done otherwise.
Having said that, I would recommend Omnirom or CarbonRom, cm11 has a bug that drains battery on wifi.
