sorry scarface but it definately not a scam
ok!!
roll back to firmware 20.1.A.0.47 via flashtool
download http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot it will root xperia e1 alas! you will only have limited root privleges and it will install 2 apps easily uninstalled and it will install its own su app which does work but a bit annoying soo...
you can remove this via a delete system apps app, you do have enough privelages to do this then lastly..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3036643&d=1417104506 install via fastboot on flash tool
navigate to reintall root su .... THIS WILL GIVE FULL ROOT !!! HONESTLY NO MESSING

Is that a CWM for E1 without unlocking bootloader?

xezrunner managed to flash Recovery on a force-locked Bootloader, and flash CM11 on it.
Late reply, but to be exact: There is a Locked Bootloader CWM available for the E1. I can no longer find it here on XDA, but I have the installer. I modified it myself because the script didn't quite work for me. But you still can't install it without root, so it's kinda useless.
In order to root, you either flash CWM (unlocked BL) or you flash back the .0.47 kernel, root, then flash the 2.13 or 2.14 kernel back. There's no other way known yet.
