Hi folks
Here is how to root any 2011 Xperia running any of the 4.1.B.0.587 4.1.B.0.431 / 4.1.A.0.562 and 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware . No need to downgrade kernels or anything, just root it straight away :D

Rooting

Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"
Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging
Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode
PC Companion installed on your PC.

1) Connect your phone to PC ( IMPORTANT > Skip PC Companion installation pop up on your phone.) and wait for the adb drivers to be installed. If these drivers don't get installed, phone would not be detected by Eroot.
Make sure nothing else ( specially flashtool ) is running on your PC in the background.


2) Download this rooting toolkit. Google Drive /// MediaFire /// 4-Shared and run it. If any downloading starts, cancel it by clicking the green button. Don't let the eroot download anything.
It should now detect your phone and show an option to "-root". Just click on it, wait till it finishes
3)Rooting done ( For confirmation see if any Super User app has been installed )
4) If by chance it fails for the first time, give it another go. it won't harm your phone in any way. If you still face problem, click on show content below

Go to your C:/ Drive / User/Username/AppData/Roaming/ folder and delete the eRoot folder.
If it says cannot be deleted then open up task manager on your PC and kill bec.exe . Then delete eroot folder.

Still not working ? used the archived method to root 2011 Xperia here below the animated Xperia picture.

I tried this app in all GB firmwares and it did nothing. Everything worked perfectly in ICS .587, though. Obviusly this is Neo V.

Thanks!

Hmmm, you rooted your phone, and then unrooted it... :)
When you connect your pjone, you have to see: “一键root ” it means: "click to root" or something like that
When you see “恭喜您,获取root 权限成功” it means that "rooting succesful" or so... You have nothing to do after that, just disconnect USB cable, and you can see the superuser app in your app drawer.

BUT I THINK, that you've clicked on the “恭喜您,获取root 权限成功” button... And the software have unrooted your phone. :)
I've made the same mistake at first...

It's the rooting error message, 'not successful'...

check these requirements:
Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"
Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging
Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode
and try again...
I don't know what could be the problem... :(

    Cheers! It did help removing the memory card, thanks a lot dude. On a side note; is there any particular rom you recommend?

    I used to use a lot of custom roms earlier, but right now I'm Sony's stock Lollipop lover ( using rooted Xperia Z right now) :good:

    Just one note from my side, whatever rom you choose ( choose amongst the most popular ones) , do see the replies in that thread before installing the rom just to make sure everything is fine and make a note of problems people are facing. If one of the problems listed is of a big deal for you then refrain from installing it

    Oh and yeah, if possible, do press the "Thanks" button on the main post of this thread. It really helps others in trusting with the post.
    It's always a good practice on XDA to do that.

    Feel free to ask anything on XDA, all the best.
