Help on rooting Xperia Sola - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello All,
I am trying to root Xperia Sola. There are so many versions and posts and so many things that it is really confusing now.
Can someone please please please guide me on how to root Xperia Sola
I do not even know if it is GB version or East Europe version etc.
Please help.
I give you all details.
Model Number....: MT27i
Android Version.: 2.3.7
Baseband version: u8500-49020604-R1G_EC14
Kernel version..: 2.6.35.7 + [email protected] #1
Build number....: 6.0.B.3.184
​
I just want to root the phone. I do not want to upgrade to ICS.

You are on stock GB (gingerbread),
To root GB, you may require an unlocked bootloader.
Search for GB rooting guides in the general section.

Better upgrade to ics and root..

I unlocked BOOTLOADER by here:
http://androidlegend.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-sony-xperia-sola-mt27i/
Then I flashed this kernel as mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688169
It is just a shame that the kernel from this guy is sooooo old. But it works with few errors on my .184 build​
There are so many complicated methods that reading them just waste your days. I hope someone told me this so simple links.
I did get the root device in just matter of minutes.

First off your in the wrong section
Because this is definitely not some sort of development. Try q&a section please
the xperia x10 is not a 2011 device since it came out like in 2010 .
Officially there is no 2.3.4 for the x10 but multiple roms have 2.3.4 or 2.3.7 bases.
If you need help installing a rom then read the op

[Request]Rooting xperia neo

Hello,
lately I updated my SE xperia neo from android 2.3.4 via "update service" program and now I have now something like that:
Model: MT15i
Version of Android system: 4.0.4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Compilation: 4.1.B.0.431
and here my problems just appearing. Tried to follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690

but I do not see .ftf file to my phone. Idk also what to do to check if my bootloader is locked or unlocked (guess that after official flash process it's locked - but not sure). Googled over few days and I can't find anything simple to root my device.
Thank you
You even found a thread and you followed it, and you still create new thread for your question instead of asking in the thread you follow. I don't understand that.
Anw, all you need is in that thread. ftf, instructions, kernel for root process, it's all there.. just read first post.
p.s. if you updated via update service and you never unlocked your BL(by using test point), then it's locked.
p.p.s. this kind of questions should go to Q&A section.
The problem is that, I can't find .ftf file to mt15i.
