How to root Xperia V with firmware 9.0.1.D.0.10?

Hi Guys,
A couple of questions.
I have a Xperia V with firmware 9.0.1.D.0.10. I do not want to upgrade to Jelly Bean yet due to bugs with the walkman application.
Can I use one click root?
Or is the only way is to unlock the bootloader?
If I unlock the bootloader will I loose the Bavaria engine?
I tried searching the forum but the information is sporadic and not very clear.
Thanks a lot.

Try this method

I think the older versions did not work on the V but the latest version is confirmed working on JB xperia V so it may work on ICS xperia V
Edit
It should work as I just read this in that thread
Download:
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21: Click [Brand New Rooting Mode (3) Xperia Z,ZL, V etc.]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
EDIT
Unlocking the bootloader loses BE
Also, the fact that a lot of users added "helpful" tiny guides to root xperia devices means that the actual useful posts (such as the one I linked) gets harder to find in a search. That is why so many of those little "How to root a white xperia T running 9.1.A.0.489 bought in a vodafone shop from manchester with a credit on a monday night" threads get closed.

Thanks gregbradley.
I'll try this is a few days time. Want to make sure the phone is stable first.

If you have not yet flashed anything your phone will be stable

Heard there is a sleep of death bug....

Update: Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21 does not work with firmware 9.0.1.D.0.10.
Tried it. Stops at the service menu part.

[Tutorial] Rooting LT25i - Xperia V (Locked Bootloader)

Hi all,
I'm not sure if it is already know by all owners of a Xperia V:
It is possible to root the device (LT25i, in my case firmware version 9.1.A.1.140) without the need to unlock the bootloader before.
You can find a short and easy to use tutorial in this thread:

Of course all credits go to Bin4ry.
Best regards and happing rooting

It's not working for me?! After i go to Service Tests -> Display nothing happens... It just stays on /data/local/tmp/onload,sh ..
Or do I need to wait longer?

Recently got OTA FW 9.1.A.1.145 and can't root by tutorial from first post. After some searching I found working rooting toolkit from DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.

[?] How can I root my Xperia Z1 on 14.3 Kitkat

Hello guys,
I am new to the Android community and especially the Rooting section looks really strange to me (but hey, I used to have an iPhone so who am I kidding )
Anyway, I bought an Xperia Z1 and now I'd like to get Root access on my phone. But every tutorial that I found requests, that I already have Root access on a lower OS version. Why? It doesn't make sense to me.
I am currently on unrooted Android 4.4 Kitkat (14.3).
Thanks for your patience with a "newbe"

Read one of the sevral guides in the general section and the development section.
If you are new I advise you to spend some time reading otherwise you could brick your phone. It may seem like a pain, but trust me, spending some time learning will help you
for starters, android is only at 4.4.2 as the latest version, not 14.3 (That's the FW version)
Greg
You downgrade using flashtool and flash a FTF
Look in the FTF mega collection thread in the general section to learn how to do that
The reason is that it is impossible to directly root 4.4.2, you have to downgrade to a rootable version and then upgrade to a prerooted 4.4.3 version
