Works on the latest firmware, So it will work on previous versions too. Just follow the basic steps mentioned, and no need for unlock bootloader to get root access.
You can also update back through SE companion tool, and you will get updated, but root will be gone.
Tested and found no bugs yet. Good luck.
PS: I will not post the method here, since all the credit and other things are posted there, but I will still like to post the guys who helped us.

Welcome but you should thank the original dev "Doomlord". He is the best

Rooted my Neo V two days ago
Thanks
How can i overclock it now ?? I cant seem to follow how to install DoomLord's Kernel

---

overclocking is not possible yet ..... (try set cpu to make sure of that)
you can flash DooMLoRD's kernel via flashtool found in XPERIA X10 fourm , but doomlord did'nt release his usual kernel for neo v ,he just released a slightly modded GENERIC kernel for rooting.

I would suggest to wait for sometime, let some other devs buy this device and you will see some real development. Till thn enjoy your phone without overclocking, it aint tht bad without it?

---

could you confirm that it's working as it's not in supported devices list?
Edit- it works

---

It worked with my Neo V.
Just followed the steps in the other thread.
Thanks for help

i guess you did'nt unlock your bootloader yet....
so try reinstalling the rom using SE PC COMPANION it will reflash/repair all software related problems :
follow this link to download it : http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../subject/pccompanion/xperia-neo-v?cc=gb&lc=en
NOTE : if your bootloader is unlocked do not try this method , use flashtool
