Rooting Xperia p without unlocking bootloader - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi guys,
I am really getting frustrated due to quick battery drain and I tried all the steps. I found there are tweaks available to stop this by changing build.prop
But I have to get root permission to achieve this.
So can anyone provide me clear steps(if possible with screenshot) to root Xperia p without flash. Since I wish to use the same stock kernel. I tried with Bin4ry rooting method which doesn't work well.

oh you're running JB..my bad..from what i've read on JB threads, Bin4ry's rooter doesnt work so you'll have to flash a prerooted ftf

I had tried with his latest version which should support for jb but it got stuck at below stage.

To reduce battery drain, you can try custom kernel like sliding xp kernel and Rom like moonbreaker.
Or use the following guide to root your phone

No Free Internet after Phone Rooted
Hello Guys,
When my friend told me that I can have internet access for free (even without credit left in your phone) by rooting the device, I was curious to do so. I started searching How to Root Xperia P. I found some posts, viewed some videos from youtube and read some forums.
I tried DooMLord method, and I thought it was successful since my phone rebooted and everything went well. I found SuperSU installed in my phone. I tried to access internet (not via wifi) but to no avail. I reset factory setting but still the same.
Then i found a blog posted by Abhijit Guha and I tried it as well. It all went well but still I couldn't enjoy the free internet access they are talking about.
So what should I do now? I have xperia p, LT22i 4.1.2 android version, 6.2.A.1.100 build number. and Unlocking bootloader allowed: YES.
Please help.

Root won't give you no free internet, unless you can root your ISP servers

Rooting lets you do a lot like modifying your system and boosting its performance. You can flash mods too. I believe that there are no free lunches in the world so I advice you to stop trying to get free internet.

Root for Linux is like administrator for window. With root access you can do whatever you like including brick your phone permanently.
Simple things you can do, like installing scripts to underclock the phone while at sleep to preserve battery, or install MODed system components , and even a MODed stock based ROM like @AndrewdXP said.
If you are going to root, be sure to read about it, have a full backup of your phone, and ready to flash stock firmware, before making any cahnges. Also you may want to be familiar with flashing stock firmware and be sure you can do it (e.g. Windows 8 may have drivers issues) BEFORE you attempt to make any modifications.
Soft bricks are common and useually easy to recover, simply by re-flashing stock firmware and restoring data, but may be time consuming.
