[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.

[Q] How to root Xperia TX LT29i (android 4.3) in the easiest way?

Hi all masters,
I just updated my phone to 4.3. It is an official update from PC companion.
The build number of my phone is now 9.2.A.0.295
and the Kernel version is 3.4.0-perf-g1bd8e16
After the update, I have lost the root functions....:silly:
I would like to ask for a simple way to root my phone Xperia TX LT29i
I am not familiar with rooting my phone. May I have a detailed tutorial? Thanks
Many Thanks,
Phillip Sony

[Q] Xperia Z (C6603) FW 10.4.B.0.569 - ROOT

Hi, I am new in this forum. I have an Xperia Z (C6603) and I’m currently on FW 10.4.B.0.569. I am planning to install FXP CM11 but before unlocking the bootloader I would like to back up my TA partition. I understand that I will need root access for that. My question is whether I can use DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit by flashing back to KernelOnly 10.3.A.0.423 even so I currently have 10.4.B.0.569 or will I have to entirely downgrade the phone to 10.3.A.0.423 by using a full version (not KernelOnly)? Any hint will be much appreciated.
I was going to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/root-how-to-rooting-firmware-10-3-1-0-t2386405 but after reading the instructions again, I guess the warning “THIS IS ONLY FOR THE XPERIA Z (C6602/3) FW 10.3.1.A.0.244 / 10.3.1.A.2.67!” stopped me and I thought I better ask.

the better way is to downgrade to 10.3.1.A.0.244 / 10.3.1.A.2.67 4.2.2 firmware,root it then backup TA,unlock bootloader & flash the CM11

Thanks for your reply. That's the safest way and that's what I finally did. Worked great.
