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.

Then you need to use NUTs method to get to 4.3 because you can't OTA with root.

All the files needed to do that are in the themes and apps sub forum.
If you want to find them quicker look through all the threads I've started as I created the deodexed /system partition and SUPERUSERMOD for all 4.3 firmwares for both the XMD and XMS.
