If I remember correctly, meaning if nothing changed in last year since I don't have Neo V, those with locked bootloader and .587 fw can't be rooted directly, follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690

Since there is no newer fw version than .587, at least I believe so, if you use update service, it will reinstal/repair your rom, meaning you will get clean rom, meaning you will lose root.
To get root again, use whatever you used this time. Since I didn't use eroot, I can only advise you to use what I already advised above.

Dont use Update service from sony as it will fix your phone and remove root access...
As our friend said, You better download .587 ftf and flash it using flashtool and then only flash the kernal of .562 ftf.
After that use doomlord's tool and after you get root access flash .587's kernal again..
There are no new fw updates after that and moreover .587's baseband is good for battery in comparison to other firmwares.

Also dont run the doomlord's tool as administrator on windows because i once encountered same problem like yours due to doing so.
hope you got the solution to your problem

i have use update service to install the rom and kernel again and got the root excess again and then i install cwm using cwminstall.cmd
and it did not show any error but to install cwm does it require unlocked bootloader to install cwm.

Just to clear up something. In both ways, full flash removes root, so it doesn't matter if he use update service or flashtool, meaning no advance in flashtool over updateservice.
