I can't unlock my BL using S1Tool Method, so is there a way to root my phone on Android 4.0.4?

[Q] Rooting 2.3.4 problems

Phone: Xperia Play (R800i)
Android Version: 2.3.4 (Gingerbread)
Build Number: 4.0.1.A.0.283
Bootloader State: Locked
Rooted State: Not rooted
I want to root my device on Gingerbread 2.3.4. For some reason SuperOneClick just won't seem to work for me. (Link if you can help - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21296441#post21296441)
If I flash down to 2.3.2 and root using Gingerbreak, will I lose root if I upgrade OTA to 2.3.4 again? Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!

I can help you pretty good with this one
sure i will and please i would like a step by step procedure. am not a professional yet
If ure still on kk i used stump root to root it then get on play and get a app called flashify get your recovery im pretty sure twrp is bumped which is a workaround for a unlockable bootloader so technicly bootloader is still locked were just slipping through a hole in the fence to say
