There is lot of question about this. And the answer is not without unlocking bootloader. Is it any mod is working on it for LB device ? Maybe, but how long ? We know that, Z1 cannot be rooted directly since 4.3 (due to Sony patch the leak) and until 4.4.2 come out, there is none method can give you root access in LB device.
So you may want to wait a long long time until they can get it right (if there is a modder), or you can unlock your device bootloader (You will make your warranty void, lose DRM key.) and use doomkernel or you can downgrade it to 4.2 to get root access.
If only you had a quick look through the General section.

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.

Hi there, what i did was unlocking the bootloader. As long as you do it carefully and follow instructions, dont skip any, it should be fine.
Firstly backup your data and stuff.
Next, flash .159 ftf, link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191
Then root it with vroot.
After that backup your TA, link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598&highlight=ta
Then go to sony's website and unlock your bootloader. Warning: your warranty will be voided.
After that flash supersu or a pre rooted rom. Lots of those on XDA.
If you need any help PM me. Just be careful

Hi!
I'm new to Sony Xperia Z.. Just updated it to 10.4.1.B.0.101 and now I'm confuse on what should I do first. Of course I choose android because of the customization but before that I have things to deal first. As a start, What should go first? Should I root the phone first or should I unlock the bootloader first? I'm trying to answer the question on my own but reading threads only leads me to nowhere kinda new to Sony Phones that's why..
Thanks in advance for who will response! Have a nice day everyone!

you only need to unlock the bootloader if you wish to use a custom rom/kernel
get xposed framework and gravitybox and gem modules and you can then start playing about and customising the look more

I see, so root alone will be just fine eh since some rom don't need unlock bootloader. I only want a stable debloated stock ROM at the moment to lessen the stress on my phone because it overheats a lot.. the bummer is I already updated to 4.3 which is not yet exploited. and what makes it worse is that I can't revert it by time being because my ISP is having issues and I can't download big files atm. so the time being there is nothing I can do but wait. grrr I got excited with the update why the hell did I do that. lol. guess no helping it.
Hoping someone will do the exploit for the .101 soon.
Thanks for the response mate.

But i really don't want to downgrade my phone it takes alot of time and effort. I just want the method of pre rooting. It's just that i really don't know what are the basics such as the "Bootloader", SuperSU, how to choose the designated firmware and also the root recovery.
If you know a thread or a link please reply it to me.
D6633? Wrong forum my friend ?
