backing up TA is to unlock bootloader so that you won't lose TA after you relock the bootloader
btw you can backup by using this tool

DON'T USE ON XPERIA U, XPERIA P AND OTHER XPERIAS. KERNEL FILES PROVIDED ARE ONLY FOR XPERIA SOLA!!!
This is the same method used by naruto20007 in [Root - Locked Bootloader] Xperia P 6.1.1.B.1.54 so thanks him, i've only packed the two kernel ftf files for sola.
This works with LOCKED and UNLOCKED bootloader
I assume that you are running 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware
You need:
1. Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry LINK
2. 6.1.1.B.1.10 and 6.1.1.B.1.54 stock kernel ftf files LINK
3. Flashtool LINK
INSTRUCTION
1. Flash MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_KERNEL.ftf with Flashtool and reboot
2. Root using Bin4ry's method
3. Flash MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf with Flashtool and reboot
After flashing the 6.1.1.B.1.10 kernel your icons can turn black, don't worry and go on.
If you have unlocked bootloader you can also root by flashing TheBrainsKernel
Is there no way to obtain root without unlook BL right..?
this is for locked bootloader

No, you're going to flash only the kernel, not wiping

If flashing a part other than above file you can retain your data

Did you backup TA before unlocking? Walkman checks for DRM keys which is lost in the Unlocking BL process. If you did backup relock and restore the backup. And you CANNOT RESTORE ANOTHER PERSON'S TA(even if it is Xperia U also) as it will result in hardbrick.
