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.

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.

[Q] Some questions regarding unlocking and gaining root

Good day fellow Xperia users!
After using the Xperia Play for a while I switched to the Xperia Z today.
On my Xperia Play I have a unlocked bootloader and use Doomkernel with the stock rom. (And love it!)
I would like to unlock the bootloader of this phone aswell, however a few questions remain.
Phone info: C6603 - v 4.1.2 - 10.1.A.1350
- My model is: C6603.
Could not find a topic about rooting this model, could anyone link me to the correct topic?
(Scared to flash the wrong stuff, to the wrong model.)
(Service menu does say it can be unlocked.)
(I guess the right topic would be: [ROOT] Xperia Z (C660x) for unlocked bootloaders ONLY! (RELEASED) but please ensure me.)
- Can anyone link me to the correct files needed to unlock the bootloader?
(As in, can someone link me to the set of files that contains everything needed for this?)
(I know there is a set for Xperia Play, however Iam not sure or they would work.)
- Should I insert a SIM card when unlocking the bootloader?
- Should I wait for my phone to load to 100% battery?
Iam sorry if the questions above have been explained before, Iam sure they are.
However you would really help me answering these questions, I would be really thank full.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Thanks for the link gm007.
However some questions still remain:
- Should I insert a SIM card when unlocking the bootloader?
- Should I wait for my phone to load to 100% battery?
Anyone?
Kind regards, Stefan.

You can keep the sim inserted no problem.
Always Charge the phone to 100% before flashing anything,maybe something goes wrong.

No, DRM and Bravia Engine 2 are lost forever. Maybe someone can port Bravia engine.
With an unlocked phone you can flash a custom kernel.

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...

[Q] Xperia Z C6603 Bootloader Locked .. Help

hi guys,
I've a Sony Xperia Z C6603 with locked boot-loader. I'm an IT technician and I've done my best since today morning like 9 Am but no joy.
I've downloaded and installed Emma flashtool and it said ( This phone is locked ) and i've downloaded flashtool for xperia and again said ( this phone can't be unlocked officially )
I've opened the service menu and system info > configuration and is written NO infront of unlock bootloader ......
Does it mean that no hope or what ???
The whole story is that my phone is boiling and really overheating when is being used or even recharging without using. and i came to know that's because 4.4.2 so I wanted to install 4.4.4 or any custom ROM and to get rid of that bloody 4.4.2
Any help will be appreciated.
Many thanks for everyone

I want to add that I've managed to change the battery like 10 days ago thought that it was the mean cause for the heat but nothing been changed.

waiting any kind user or moderator for any kind help ... thnx

You can't onlock your bootloader. But you can use any stock based firmware.
