So i would like to know how do i root it? doomlord method says .62 FW cant be rooted mine is .69 will it work on that? Please guide me.
Thanks
You need to downgrade to .42, or upgrade to ICS, there are multiple topics about rooting neo v.

Do you want root with locked bootloader or unlocked?
Unlocked bootloader gingerbread rooting is easy 2 steps for all firmwares. Though that's not enough a reason to unlock the bootloader.
neo v bootloader unlocking has'nt been provided by sony yet..... but for starters rooting neo v will be a gr8 help & will cm7 be supporting NEO V too ???
tried GINGERBREAK , X10FlashTool ,SuperOneClick......but was no use ....waiting for root
unlocking on SE website for neo V is same as for neo. just do it.

Why not we create a separate section for Neo V. I am getting this device and hopefully will post about the root procedure soon.
That's gr8..... Surely it takes some time on XDA to get a separate section

Hi guys,
I Just want to inform you that yesterday I updated my Xperia neo and got 2.3.4 build 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Does anybody know what are changes since previous build?
Using 4.0.2.A.0.62 I can not root using DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su,
So becareful, you may need to wait until some solution for rooting is found.
Is It Available For Neo V Too ... Cant Find In My Region.. Will Wait Till There Is Any Solution For Rooting
Which region are you in?
Screenshot of about phone?

I have rooted 4.0.2.A.0.62.
First I flashed InteksV15 kernel. After I used DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.
it's working
But after it will be running on Inteks kernel. You may need to extract original one from 4.0.2.A.0.62
and reflash it.

i still have Build 4.0.2.A.0.42 on my Neo V

and my neo is rooted, is that not dangerous
and wil the neo v get Build 4.0.2.A.0.62 if it is rooted?

I have my neo rooted with locked bootloader and 0.42 firmware.
If I upgrade to 0.62 ,I supposed it won't be rooted any more.
Right?
Any way to root it again with locked bootloader?

I can get the update, but I have an unlocked bootloader so I used flashtool. But I had a conversation with @SonyEricssonNL, and it turned out I have a scandinavian SI number.
I think you can just use flashtool to flash the ftf, also non-rooted.
My brother has a ray gingerbread 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.62) locked bootloader. He wants to root it. I read that this version unrootable. I ve once rooted a xperia mini. Downgrade to .42 version using flashtool and root with zergush method (thanks to doomlord). Will this method works on ray as well? Ive read many posts, but im still dont understand. Anyone confirm or help? Thanks
Sent from my E16i
yes, it will work in xperia ray too. just downgrade and root. downgrade to 42 or 58 because both are rootable.
Thanks mate. I ll go tell him.

When the U ICS update rolls out next week - is it expected we can use the "Root Many Android" method to obtain root without unlocking the bootloader?
