I am waiting for a method where it doesn't require to unlocking the bootloader in order to root it. It's in the stickies...

The new updates from SE really improved the phone and wouldn't want those bugs to come back again so that's why I wait to root.

Hoping a dev makes work of it

You can use gingerbreak. But it's easier to unlock it, you have more possibilities in phone modding, and it's relockable

root your play with no locking bootloader
you won't have update .146 though I just did it and works flawlessly
basicly you downgrade root and ota update to 2.3.3 (.145)
