WotanServer is a easy program to download any firmware version and installs it. Automatically. You just have to choose which one.
Other way is to use Flashtool, but for that, you need to find correct files yourself.

Hi FastDuck, I really glad to your explanation about how to root this (377) firmware, but there are some questions about that.
How to make unsecured boot.img file?
How to flash the signed 377 kernel.sin to boot section?
Please tell me, I'm really noob about this one
You can check out the developer section of this forum. There are lots of posts and threads regarding this. I'm sure you'll find what you need

To make an unsecure boot.img.. Long story short.. You need to decompress the Kernel.sin from the firmware. Extract the ramdisk. Change a properties file. Repck the ramdisk with the kernel image.. Very short version.. Download boot.img from the developer thread.
You flash the kernel.sin same way as boot.img.
Fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

You just bumped an 6 months old topic
Anyway, it is better to root without unlocking bootloader.
Read my tutorial, if you want to root, link in signature.
Hello everyone,
I would like to know if there is any (tested) method of rooting xperia pro with firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62. My phone is unlocked. I have no idea if my bootloader is locked or unlocked...
Some say they rooted this firmware, some say they failed, and I would like to know for sure if there is any way to root it.
The reason I want to root my phone is mainly to remove the annoying preintalled apps.
Any help would be great. Thanks!
How To Root Xperia Pro MK16I 4.0.2.A.0.62
I had to downgrade the software back down to version 4.0.2.A.0.58 in order to root the phone. My thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22619413#post22619413 refers.
Unfortunately, as yet, nobody seems to have posted a simple method of rooting the phone with version 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Cheers

I have a rooted 4.0.1.A.0.283.
Will the phone stay rooted if I upgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.62?
Thanks in advance,
Danny
as long as you update it OTA it should keep rooted.
updating with PC companion will remove the root access

Thanks for the info.
Did you try updating it already?
Yes , I tried it , now I'm having rooted .62 baseband on my Xperia Pro and CWM installed. Good luck on it !
Please tell me how do I root my phone? I have the build 4.0.2.A.0.62. I didn't find any proper guide. please help me.
4.0.2.A.0.62 cannot be rooted, because the exploit has been fixed.
Currently, you need to downgrade to older firmware(.52 or .58 for example), that can be done either with WotanServer or with Flashtool(requires correct files), then root with program in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346198. After that, just make OTA(Over the Air) update to .62 firmware, root stays(at least it stayed on my LWW).

Now where do I find the .42 Rom?
Thank you all. I was able to flash back to .58 and rooted it. And updated via OTA to .62. XDA ftw.
Here my step to root my mini pro SK17i, boot loader still same as when it buy..
When I bought it the phone is 2.3.4/4.0.2.A.0.62 and try out many ways from XDA. Yes it rooted but when I update firmware from OTA or pc... my phone back to early state that root are gone...
So I tried out many ways and found this one, try over 3 times to make sure and decide to post this guide.
A.prepare...
1.flashtool 0.7 from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
2.fw 4.0.2.A.0.58 .ftf you can find from xda or place..(its not hard to find)
3.root v1.5 without unlock boot loader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346198
...
step 1.
open flashtool then select flash ==> flash mode ==> select fw 4.0.2.A.0.58..
then check only exclude TA / FOTA / Baseband (only 3 choices) the others must not check..
then select [ok] to continue and wait for connect the SK17i
step 2.
Push your phone in to flash mode by....Turn off your phone..
Then press and hold [volume down] while you plug PC-USB, if you never install driver of flash mode the PC will install it...[please choose continue(ignore) to install, even no matter what happen]
step 3.
waiting around 5-6 minutes... untill all message said all finished..==> then disconnect the phone..
step 4.
turn on your phone..==> then set display to maximum timeout / and set develop USB debug...
step 5.
open (root v1.5) to root the phone
after phone restart....
Your phone SK17i are rooted ready and fw is 4.0.2.A.0.58..
then Backup every things while you are root user...
step 6.
OTA to 4.0.2.A.0.62 back by wifi only, don't choose other else..
Done...enjoy.

Yes, it is.
To OP: OTA update can be done over 3G also, it is not a requirement to use WiFi.

He went back to a previous firmware, because .62 is unrootable and so the devices isn't like you have bought it, because the .ftf you flash isn't the same like the one on phone before
that kind of solution excludes AZERTY HW keyborad of the SK17i ? it seems that every custom rom every is design for US HW keyboard but i dont want to lose my keyconfig anymore by switching firmware,
Any solution for french people ? plz

Search for a french firmware ftf, maybe in development forum you could find one
Or you copy the keyprint.xml from your current rom, save it on your pc, flash a generic firmware and push the file back :good:

Sorry for bothering.
I was reading many texts on this forum and all over the net, and because I`m a newbie I`m still not sure if I`m right about this.
So this 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware is not rootable unless I downgrade right ? I have an xperia ray if that makes any difference.
So the only solution for me to root the phone is to flash the phone with an older version of gingerbread right ?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you've got it. You have to downgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.42 or .58 to root

I guess there's no .68 firmware. Only .58/.62/.69/
I would update; with an ota update (via wifi) you shouldn't loose root. To be on the safe side, download the local-prop script (how to root .431), run it on your current firmware, update, see if you have root, if not run push-root-files

Updates are region and/or provider dependant.
You can take your chances and flash generic world formware.

I want to do it so i can root my phone, but since I've never done this, I'm a bit insecure and hesitant.
From the research I've done rooting my Xperia P is preferred to be done with the latest firmware which I don't have.
What would you suggest I do? I am completely new to this.

Like before you do anything with your phone, take a full backup with PC Companion, and backup other data it doesn't manually.
Then you will need to download and install flashtool, install the drivers for Xperia P, flash mode, and fastboot mode with the drivers installer from drivers directory under flashtool directory.
Find and download generic 6.2.A.1.100 firmware file and flash it.
Exclude TA when you flash.
I have my firmware uploaded here, it's a two part 7-Zip, archive.
You may look for others that are more sutable for your region.
To root 6.2.A.1.100 use DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.
My phone is acting really crazy and I can't do a backup with PC Companion, nor with the phone app for backup, but I don't care anymore.
I'll try everything you suggested and let you know if it worked.
Thanks a lot, you have been more than helpful. I really appreciate it.
