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,
Aaron

If you look in v android development there is an unsecure kernel, but this is for older firmware, maybe it works
Edit: you must unlock bootloader for custom kernel, i do not think bin4ry method works for newer firmwares

Thanks so much for your quick responses.
So right now, we have no root access without unlocking the bootloader.
Hopefully the genius developers will come up with something soon. A little bothered by the bloatware from my provider.
Thanks guys,
Aaron

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.

Singtel hah? Hahaha ask Palmer clear for you lor.
Serious: I'm getting a V soon and is the bloatware that bad?
EDIT: You can clear bloatware by flashing an international version of the firmware.

Need a guinea pig. My V havent come yet. It's using the same method as rooting the new 6.1.1.C.1.0 for the ST-E phones.

Are you interested? PM me if. Even if anything goes wrong, most likely, nothing will go wrong as u can reflash the original firmware.

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.

Broke cpumasters wifi and bluetooth and he cant relfash now fotr some reason... so we need a dif method for sure
After flashing to cm-10.1-20130407-UNOFFICIAL-yuga from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156919&page=34 CM10.1 - Android 4.2.2 the phone does not get a phone signal. In system it shows as baseband version unknown.
I have followed some tips in the above forum for turning on wifi and areoplane mode but to no avail. Any idea how to install a missing baseband?
Thanks.
I don't think it's a missing Baseband,maybe something with ril files,the devs will find a way to fix it.
If you have stock ftf file you can try to flash the baseband separately with flashtool.

Hi gm007, thanks for the reply.
Having used Samsung for years was not sure the best way forward to Sony.
I have downloaded a C6603_Generic_Uk_No_Branding.ftf and will look into how the flashtool option works.

I tried CM and i had the same issue,baseband unknown cause my phone is c6602,so i flashed c6603 baseband and it's fixed.
So if you have c6602 do the same.

Hi robdevil & gm007,
I did not manage to get it sorted last night, unfortunately I was running low on time.
I tried loading a .ftf in flashtool but got a bit lost, could not seem to load it.
I have currently re-loaded a recovery image I took earlier in the day and will look at trying to load CM10.1 in a few weeks, give some time for the RIL issue to be resolved.
The version of phone is model C6603.
Baseband shows currently as 9x15A-ACEFWMAZQzz-30110017-06.
I think I will also try and find a guide on how to use flashtool, which I am sure will be handy to know before I look at re-flashing CM10.1 in a few weeks. The flashtool I used was this one: http://androxyde.github.io/ Flashtool Version 0.9.10.2beta4 built on 2013-03-21 19:00:00
Thanks.
Update: Seems that the no network issue is currently resolved for some and not others in the latest build by codeworkx http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156919&page=39
I send my phone for repair. Problem is I don't know what is happen as someone bought it from me and after 2 weeks said it has sim issue and send it back. Will see what Sony says.
I have the same problem with Xperia Z, european unlocked model.
With original Sony rom it works fine, with any CM10 there's "unknown" baseband.
Tested both FXP and the CM10.1 "nightly" - no gsm network support in both roms.
Interesting to hear racht that the issue still exists and seems to be related to FXP & CM10/10.1 roms. Hopefully a fix will be implemented by the devs of the roms in due course.
I had the same problem, however rebooting several times and turning flight mode on and off solved it.

I had this too. There are methods to fix it, but I just installed the first version by codeworkx, the 0407 build didn't work for me with the baseband. Install the first one by codeworkx, then see if baseband works. If it does, then update and cell will still work. At least for me.

So what you're trying to say is that if I have a C6602 model and I've installed CM10.1 and if I'm having an unknown baseband issue then I should flash baseband from C6603 model firmware?

Yes. Download a ftf file and load it in flashtool then just exclude everything but the baseband and flash it. I had this problem when I installed AOKP it takes a couple of minutes to get signal after the phone boots

Which version should I download? Is there any ftf which has only baseband? It is very difficult to download a 700MB file just for flashing baseband.

You mean like flash a 6903 firmware on a 6902? Probably not a great idea. Might just be a soft brick, but definitely not worth the chance of a hard brick. Why would you want to do this anyways? Seems like a lot of risk for basically no advantage....

Few years back I used to think that we can flash other rom on any Android device as all used Android os
but as I got to gain knowledge I learned
There is more than just flashing a ROM, all are device specific with kernel

That certainly won't work. It's different hardware. Even if the soc is the same there's other hardware and drivers that are different (such as the screen difference). That would be almost certainly a hard brick (if it even flashes at all). I would not try. But if you're that brave then post the results. You aren't the first person opening a thread to ask this but as far as i know no one has been brave enough to actually try

For those who will try this Rom,you will lose all data if you don't backup it.
Always do back-up man , because it's worth too , and the dirty flash is always good to any rom you to install.
this rom will not delete your data also it's not ftf.

anyone tried this rom and found problems different from the 3G & LTE problem? it looks good.
Good morning, I have a problem with my xperia z1 c6902 the problem is that I install a rom but to see that I had many faults I decided to go back to the original one, but when doing the process with the flashtool I had no signal and the camera opened but I did not take Photos the sim card recognizes the cell but I can not call data anything.
I tried with another rom and with the only one that I have managed to make my camera work is with the DstrikerZ1 Kai ROM but I still have no signal I have flashed some versions but nothing I have no signal if someone can help me thank you.
