How do I root my Play?

Well, first of all I've read this Tutorial (How-TO and it says that if my Play has an update after November 11 I can't root it that way.
Does it that mean that I will never be able to root it? There is a way to root such models with that update?
Any advice would be aprecciated.
These are my phone specifications:
R800a
Android 2.3.3
3.0.1.A.0.145
2.6.32.9
Sim Locked
Thanks in advance for the support, and thanks to all devs who help us noobies...
Superoneclick should work for you. Google it.

I'm pretty sure that flashtool will root that no problem too!

I used to have an Xperia X10a and I flashed it the North American Version using flashtool and some ftf files.
Can I root it and flash it to another version using this tool and having these specifications?
I dont want to brick my phone but I want to have root access and if possible change to another build, because Telcel is pretty bad and consumes a little space in memory.
Thanks to all of you who have answered my questions and thanks again for the help.
Yea it should work for you no problem!

By the way Sony has released an update for the 4.1.B.0.431...so now its the 4.1.B.0.587 which is the newest update...i would recommend you update it to 587 from 431 and then root it

U didn't mention what version of 4.0.4 u r using. I mean the 6.1.a.x.xx
If u don't wanna unlock bootloader then use bin4ry method but u can only root upto 6.1.a.2.50. The new firmware 6.1.a.2.55 can't be rooted using bin4ry.
If u have locked bootloader then u can root any firmware available now.

[Q] Help rooting Xperia S

Hi, it's my first time rooting android and after a while I think I'm gonna have to ask. I have an Xperia S (LT26i) running GB 4.0.4 Build 6.1.A.2.55. Yesterday I managed to unlock the bootloader but I have no idea about how to start rooting it. I did however try the Bin4ry's root exploit but it just "runs forever", is there any way you could help me with this? (like, suitable for noobs you know..) Thanks!
