[FIRMWARE][4.0.A.2.368][Ray][ST18i][URUSHI] Official Firmware + ROOT solution
I got it to work now. took me a second try.
"edit. And now i have the phone rooted. I love this forum.
Great, thanks!!!
Is this root persistent? I.e. is it likely that it will survive the 2.3.4 upgrade coming soon?

My Xperia mini has official 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware and I want to root it
I searched for this in this site and I found this way :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346198
I like this way because it's easy and safe without any complicated steps like flashing
But it didn't work with this firmware
I want to root because the screen is too dark and I want to disable the light sensor of the device.
I'm new in this site and I want the easiest way to do this....
Anyone can help???
Thanks...
(Sorry for my bad english )
EDIT:
Finally my phone is rooted
I downgraded the firmware from wotanserver.com to 4.0.2.A.0.42
It's easy !
Then I rooted my phone by this way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1346198
Now It's rooted
Special thanks to you guys
There is no way to root .62 for now.
Unless you unlock your bootloader.

First unlock the bootloader the SE way.
Then flash the rage kernel with flash tool and you are automatically rooted.
.
It worked for me with .62..
Try it.

But I have questions:
Can I update my phone to firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 after that?
What about restore my contacts and calendar? Can I synchronize it with my google account?
What about "Overclock up to 2Ghz", It's safe??

Simply open wotanserver.com
make an account, it's free!
Download the WotanClient application
and open it!
Select .42 firmware
and your phone will be flashed to selected firmware
But you must back up your data
I synchronized my contacts and calendar with my google account

Try flashing via flashtool a generic ftf file. You can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936477
Do you want to install ics or gb?
You can also install jb but you will have to unlock bootloader and void your warranty.
Do you know how to use flashtool? There is also a tutorial on YouTube on how to use flashtool.

I've tried to update/downgrade using SEUS and PC Companion, my phone is detected by those apps, but it say that my phone software cant be upgrade/downgrade ("Sony Update Engine error 2003").
Now my phone cant start. Its frozen on booting (just showing "SONY ERICSSON" name) but it still connect when i'm connected trough USB cable to my PC (OS Windows 7).
Can anyone help me with this problem ????

Remember: never ever ever ever flash the file x10blrelock.ftf included with Flashtool (it's NOT for the mini). IT CAN HARDBRICK YOUR PHONE. DELETE THAT FTF FILE TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL FLASH!
