You're in the wrong forum. Unfortunate that XDA STILL hasn't given the Ray it's own form yet.. It deserves one.
Here's where the ray development stuff are (Except CM7):

That is more tricky and actually requires a but of extra skill you'll have to peel back stuff to get at the testpoint at the back of the phone etc etc... I personally didn't do it because I already had mine unlocked. You are welcome to try it.

Let me know how you get on with it
PS: For those of us that have already unlocked our bootloaders, there's no point in performing this
wooohhhh, its again so complicated...will wait for some other quick method. Like we have something for our Xperia Arc

Do it and don't look back! I was never going to then did so just before 283 was released because I didn't want to go through the rigmarole of having to downgrade to upgrade just to root, and so glad I did because I might have ended up with the 0% battery issue, PLUS it makes things like rooting so much simpler, even simpler than an app imo.
What put me off was something screwing up with the boot loader, it's a natural fear, but with Alejandrissimo and Jinx13 on call (more or less A+J? ), a fix is only an internet (and required software) connection away.
Ray can't be gingerbreaked, as there is no 2.3.2 available for it.nso there shouldn't be security issues that can be used for rooting a s-on device.
Just go ahead and unlock it.
As stated above you won't look back.

Guys,
I want to ask same question again.............
Any way to ROOT Xperia RAY with locked bootloader
What about the ZergRush exploit? Doesn't that work for the ray?
The Xperia 2011 Easy Rooting Toolkit works and the Ray is in the compability list.
like what harfot said I'm pretty sure the zergrush method works for the whole 2011 xperia phones its easy to use aswell
please please please can a dev make overlcocking possiable on locked bootloaders id even pay money for this all i want is recovery, abilty to overclock and still able to ota
yes please make oc with locked bootloader possible I will pay money to
This is in the wrong forum but in all fairness this should be created to help people with locked bootloaders. Maybe Doomlord can create us a few modules now that he has the Xperia Play

Making overclock module is different to modifying acpu file for overclock.
The acpu mod is embedded into the kernel, and oc module is not.
acpu modifying is probably the easiest to do, but I am sure DooMLoRD will be able to create modules for you.

@lyricalchaos
as i told u over p.m.
if u are willing to pay money for this why not just unlock ur bootloader?
u can easily relock bootloader if u want to get back to stock/OTA...
I put this up before i pm u thank u for the advice but i dont want to lose my drm

The paid method of unlocking your bootloader does not remove DRM.
Your welcome.

You only loose drm with the official bootloader unlock method. The paid testpoint method retains drm certificates and ability to ota update.

s1tool works fine.
Don't really think its fair to SE to implement it for locked bootloaders.
Its somewhat fair I think the warranty being void if you overclock. (and Sony Ericsson spares are fairly easy to get so its not a great problem).

On my Youtube channel I have been asked multiple times to make a video on how to downgrade/ unroot Xperia Z1.
This is very straightforward, so I am sure that most of YOU (xda-developers) readers know this already but for all the newbies out there
here is the video:
Are you sure you mean UNroot....
You can Unroot using super su can't you?

For unexperienced users unroot = revert to stock , before sending the device to a service shop for example.
As this thread is for newbies, I think I will just leave it as is. I get a lot of question on my rooting videos on how to "unroot" or downgrade

Here is a video guide on how to get full root on bootloader locked Android 4.4.2 Sony Xperia Z1.
This will now work on model versions C6902/C6903/C6906/C6943
This video tutorial is based on method designated by xda-member @Nut (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4904057), so don't forget to thank him and donate if you can.

At the moment, I think that the only solution would be to backup apps and games is using an app called Helium. As far as I know that is the only working solution available on the market. Users have reported that the free version does not always work properly and that the safest would be to use the 5$ premium version of the app and to backup to a cloud storage, so I would recommend buying the premium app. Here is a link to the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup.license&hl=en
You can backup your photos by either choosing cloud synching in Google+, Dropbox or any alternative storage or by transferring them over to your computer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dropbox.android&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.plus&hl=en
Don't forget to backup your text messages as well. The following app works well:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en
And also any saved wifi networks using the following app:

i can not unlock my bootloader after going through this process.

This guide is for rooting your phone, not for unlocking the bootloader. There are already a few threads on how to unlock so you should check there. Check the stickies.

Yes you can unlock your BL and keep your camera with this rooted fw. But you can do that even on a non rooted .290.
