EDIT: Rooted Xperia Mini Pro (Sk17) FW 4.0.A.2.338 now trying to update and root 4.0.2.A.0.58
ADB drivers for sony ericsson: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/search-downloads/driver?cc=gb&lc=en
i installed the drivers with right click on .inf files and choose "install" (on windows xp) then connected my phone with usb and adb driver installation started by windows as usually with drivers. (then started the runme.bat)
EDIT2: CONFIRMED WORKING on Xperia Mini Pro (Sk17) 2.3.4 FW 4.0.2.A.0.58
Thanks to Revolutionary Team and DooMLoRD for the amazing work! root'n'roll!
Does this method corrupt the DRM TrackID feature?
Nope it does not......
It doesnt mess with the bootloader in any way......
It worked a charm. Thanks.

Flashtool version 0.4.2.0 with same exploit zergRush, but Doom's method posted above is simplest one click solution.
hi everybody!
neo with original firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42. No unlocked bootloader, no root.
I'm gonna root my Neo but it would be great to have a list of all removable applications. I'm afraid to make something wrong once i'll root my phone.
Does a list exist? did anyone make it?
Wotan Server
As I wanted to keep my MT15a, I flashed 4.0.2.A.0.42 using Wotan Server, then rooted using zergRush exploit (runme.bat). Worked like a charm. I had alreeady unlocked my bootloader.
I updated my Neo to 2.3.4 through PC Companion, then zergrush exploit worked fain for root.
A list with system apps i've found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470

Xperia Mini Pro SK17i Update mystery
Xperia Mini Pro SK17i update is mystery, i update my Xperia Mini Pro to 4.0.4 ICS and i experienced certain inconsistencies, after searching for hours it found that i should repair my update and after that do factory default, i did that and it made my phone much better. Now everything is fine accept one think that making me hate my phone, it's battery backup which is very ugly. It hardly goes one day in mostly standby mode.
If anyone else like me is frustrated with only battery issue or know how to fix it than please reply...

hi guys,
I am quite a noob, and trying to figure this xperia thing, after at last I managed to nicely root and flash my htc.
But it seems on xperia it is all working different. What I need, is generally to delete bloatware, to do so I need root.
But to get root I need to flash a ROM first? In htc it's rooting so that you can flash roms. It all gets me confused.
Is there a way then to root without any weird downgroading/flashing roms?

If you are on gingerbread you can root it on older Firmware than .62/.69, otherwise you must downgrade and upgrade again. Just Check out my signature

If you want to remove bloatware apps it's easier to remove them from the zip package before you flash the rom.
Open the the rom using 7zip or similar program (open archive NOT extract it).
Then go into the system folder and there is an app folder (system/app).
The app folder contains pretty much most the app's that are on your rom.
Just go through them and delete the app's you don't want, there are plenty of lists around of safe apps to delete/remove, there are some on here and if you google you will find more.

Try rooting with flashtool. If you don't know how to do that, please check out the pinned rooting guide
Make sure that you turned on following things:
Developer options--->usb debugging
Security--->unknown sources
Xperia--->connectivity--->mass storage mode

+1 and use flashtool.
I hope you installed the proper adb drivers... For XMP...
I don't know if flashtool require drivers or not...
(I use a different toolkit for rooting and flashing)
But for detection of device, driver should be installed

When I am relocking the bootloader with s1tool my U20i is dead and I must install the original firmware again.
What happened with bootloader and my SimCard and not recognized?

Dear Mods, could You make this thread sticky please???
I hate to rain on the parade, but it doesn't seem to work for me.
Is there anything a new user like me might have missed?
I have flashtool installed, along with the drivers. Flashing itself works without a problem, so I think I didn't screw up there.
I also triple-checked that I have the right firmware files and everything.
Like many, I've settled on trying random combinations of firmwares and roms now.
