Its not horrible to find it.. on the first page of general section, and if its not on first page, there is search button.

Hello,
I've searched for a direct root for Neo V (4.0.4) but it seems that it's not available for the moment.
Do you know if it will be available one day or if Sony has corrected the hack ?

You are asking if we know if someone will discover exploit one day? Are you aware that there is no answer to that question?
Sony corrected exploits from .62, but that didn't stop someone find new one(in 4.0.3)
I would just say this, don't expect someone will go and search for new exploit, since available root is pretty easy(2,3 minutes job), so no one will bother with search.
If someone will find it it will be accidentally

In fact, I was asking in the case someone was already working on it.
So if I understand well, the exploit that allows the root in 4.0.3 has been fixed in 4.0.4 ?
Because I imagine that is not necessary to find a new exploit for each update. That could take time to Sony to fix it and they probably prefer to put resources on other stuff.

hi there
i`m not able to reply on developers post, but i`m writing here because I have also Neo V with 4.0.4. i have read a lot of tutorials and posts and tried 4-5 methods to root my phone with no result. the last that i have tryed is with rootscript and the result is print screened and attached. i have tried and i think that i unlocked the bootloader, but nothing works. what is wrong?

1) have you tried turning OFF your antivirus program?
2) have you tried with instructions linked in post#2?
