Hi guys,
How can I tell if my phone is using a locked or unlocked bootloader? I have used Towelroot and got root access on my C5306 device, build 12.1.A.1.207. Trying to also consider which is the best ROM to put on this seemingly extremely slow device.
This forum is made for developing and discussing ROMs

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.

Well check SUS/PCC for update first, but if there's none there either - Download a 4.2.2 Firmware (there's plenty) and flash with flashtool, there's guide pinned on the forums. Remember not to wipe data if you have important stuff on it.
Search, read and then read some more...
