You could downgrade to .42 firmware using Flashtool.

But downgrade needs an unlocked bootloader right ?

What are you talking about?
I've written he could downgrade from .62 firmware to .42 firmware, so he can use the zergRush exploit.
Nothing about 2.3.2!

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!

Thanks for the advice. Finally my PLAY have root access and I can die happy now.

I have tried so many things, and so many guides around the internet, and the bootloader should be unlocked, but its not.
If somebody know there is one working, with the latets update of Android, please send me a link

I'm not sure what you've tried exactly, but you do know that it's not necessary to unlock the bootloader to root the phone right?

Same problem on my own LT15I

I have the same problem. I think that it is due to an official upgrate for Android 4.0.4 with PCC. Even if I use other way to root the mobile I can't. It is impossible to unlook the bootloader with the official way and I currently do not find another way to do it.
I am still looking for solution. :silly:

I have tried without too, not working.
And all the sticky thread i has read i not working either.
Its really annoying, because i REALLY want to root my phone!
But if somebody knows a lot about it, then it would be really awesome if the person would guide me through on how to do it on Skype or something similar.

You can't root 587 directly. You have to downgrade to an earlier version of firmware to do so, and then flash a 587 kernel to get it back to the most updated firmware (therefore keeping root).
Flash this, root with this (by running the runme.bat file), and then flash this
Good luck!

You have to use flashtool to flash firmwares/kernels onto your phone. Here's a tutorial on how to do it.

Did you tried sony offical unlock? If you can't either, I think there's nothing you can do.
[I saw some website (don't remember the url) that claimed that you could unlock it via imei codes, but it was pretty expensive (€ 49,00)... Plus I'm not sure if this was for carrier or bootloader unlock.]

should be carrier.
At this Sony thingy where I can check if my BL is unlockable or not it says "No". So I can't flash any unofficial kernels.
