I'm sorry that I know nothing else except that thread.It included some infos you want
This version is creating many problem while rooting ......
so what is the solution ???
No problem, thanks very much
for neo or for neo v?
can somebody add the ftf file
you can find it at wotanserver....
What I suggest doing to root this version since ftf isn't floating around and wotan crypts their firmware:
1. Testpoint unlock bootloader (free if you have sim unlocked non-carrier). If you have a branded plunk down some dollars for jinx13 or that alejandrissamo (sp?) to do it. This method you can relock later on for warranty concerns. You need fastboot access and BL unlocked, don't whine, just do it.
2. Flash new firmware with wotan, back your stuff up with titanium or whatever beforehand.
3. HOTBOOT inteks kernel (I don't trust it on new build for neo v and I use stock otherwise). This is done by entering fastboot mode and running fastboot boot kernel.img and phone will reboot with inteks. (DO NOT DO FASTBOOT FLASH, JUST FASTBOOT BOOT)
4. Run zergrush tool as normal, phone will root.
5. Reboot and you are back on stock kernel with root access
EDIT: I should note I required this new build as my neo v was affected by random reboot bug on .42, this fixes it. Problem is well documented on SE forums and is neo v specific, neo is fine.

hi everybody this is my first post although i have use xda lots of times .

My xperia mini is still rootable after the ICS official update?
I make a dumb to press update in ICS and is possible to root my phone?
Device: Sony Ericsson
Model: ST15i
Unlocked Bootloader: Yes with the official way
Build Number (Firmware): 4.1.B.0.431
I searching for topic but i dont see any that can root my specific firmware... :crying:
Since your bootloader is already unlocked, install a custom, prerooted, kernel and you got the root.
It depends...
I don't know how having an unlocked bootloader affects your phone. Given that, you can't root SE's stock ICS. You have to upgrade to ICS from a rooted version of Android. For example, the latest version of SE's stock Android that you can root for ST15i is 4.0.2.A.0.42. Install .42, root it, then then carefully install SE's Android ICS upgrade but not wipe user data. If you're not careful, you just end up with an unrooted stock ICS again.

Installing prerooted kernel on stock unrooted ROM gives you automatically root access.
ics 4.0.4 root
After I updated from rooted 2.3.4 to ics 4.0.4 root was lost. Is there any method to root without unlocking bootloader

There is no way to root any device with stock ICS 4.0.4 / 4.1.B.0.431 with locked bootloader. You have to downgrade it first, and the upgrade with THIS method.
Thanks. Im rooting now

Hello guys
I´m a newbie in this new phone... i owned an HTC HERO that i was completely good on rooting, installing ROMS etc...
But i´ve got this phone now.
Did a lot of research, read a lot of things but i´m not sure. Hope you guys can help me.
My Xperia mini pro is on its stock(factory) rom:
android 4.0.4
baseband 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-72
2.6.32.9 kernel
version 4.1.B.0.431
I´ve tried a lot of apps to root it(superoneclick, z4...) but none of them worked.
I´ve read that to root it, it should downgrade to another android version, root and them upgrade.
Is that correct? Or this device with this version of android and baseband can be rooted?
Thank you
Sergio.
It can't be rooted as it is now.
Either unlock the bootloader and install a pre-rooted kernel, or downgrade to GB and root it following THIS tutorial.
Also, if you read it already, I don't really understand why you are still asking how to do it

ICS Firmware is impossible to root directly so far , you need to downgrade your phone to an older GB firmware if don't want to unlock bootloader here's the tutorial it's working 100%
Ok.. understanding more now...
which one is "safer" downgrading or custom kernel direct?

It's up to you .... if you want to unlock bootloader than only downgrading method is possible DO NOT flash a kernel with locked bootloader !

It's not bad if you try to install custom kernel with locked bootloader. The installation won't succeed as custom kernel has no official signature, so the installation won't be done.

hit thanks if i helped you!!!
I used the dwn gradng process,,,nw rooted.
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
i advice yhu Unlock BL first using Test Point Method den install Custom Pre-Rooted Kernel or get a good Pre-Rooted ROM!!!
Test Point Method:- http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
i used dat for my mini pro.....
Both methods are interesting......
Anyway, thank you very much guys, really.
Will try any of them soon.
Hi again Guys,
I need an info here.
I´ll downgrade the mini pro to GB and root.
After that, should i flash the ICS via flashtool or can i update it from SUS/Pc Companion or OTA?
In which case from SUS/PCCompanion or OTA i will loose the root?
Or i should ignore it and update via Flashtool?
I did not understand that part of the guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514)
try to make in a few words(correct me if i´m wrong):
Download GB firmware and flash using flashtool
Root via Doomlord
The part III(preparation to root 4.0.4) ok.
After this, this is my doubt. Should i Flash ICS from flashtool or update it by SUS/PCCompanion/OTA ?
Flash GB.
Root it.
Run push_local.prop.cmd
Upgrade to ICS:
a) Using Flashtool -> Make sure you don't Wipe data. uncheck that box.
b) Using PC Companion / SUS -> Make sure you choose not to wipe data, too.
Run the other file which name I don't remember
That's all
ICS is not available via OTA.
Doesn't matter how you update, as long as you do the 01-....cmd file before updating.
If you use Flashtool, make sure to uncheck Wipe Data option.
I'm having troubles to root my Sony Xperia U ST25a.
I just unlocked the Bootloader *yay! finaly* as I read that it is needed to root using this video: /watch?v=x65ua5x4sMc
But when the Root part comes I'm afraid to use that files because my Phone Software Version is: 6.1.1.B.1.54 and I didn't found any kernel.elf files for this version.
Can someone help me with it not using ST25i way, or a problematic way (yes, I'm noob on it) to root my phone?
I really need to use LEDs-U-CTRL
Thank you all.
NOTE: I already used Xperia P kernels but my phone died and I dont know how I made him alive again.

Use flashtool to flash a stock ICS Firmware.
Root your phone:
1.Method Search rootable stock ICS firmware and kernel. Flash the fw, root the phone with Many Android by Bin4ry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31545627
Than flash the kernel.
2.Method Flash a prerooted Kernel, like Munjenis's CWM kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934093&highlight=kernel
3.Method Look in the Development Index here
NOTE: I already used Xperia P kernels but my phone died and I dont know how I made him alive again.

Don't use Xperia P kernels for Xperia U!!!
1) I had xperia U firmware 6.1.1.B.1.10 .
2) I rooted my my xperia U with flashtool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1933985
It was rooted perfectly.
3 ) Later on, I used flashtool to upgrade flash my phone to 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware
using this --
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2075526
But, now when I am opening Titanium Backup or other application. I see the message no root access found!
I saw in some thread that adding some files helped restore root access...
Please advise...
You lose root when you flash stock ftf.

Re-root if you have your bootloader locked... or use a kernel if unlocked...
When you flashed new firmware,the whole system folder was replaced with new one.It did not have su binary needed for superuser to run.So you lost root access.
Just flash 6.1.1.b.1.10 kernel,root with bin4ry or flashtool and then flash back 6.1.1.b.1.54 kernel.You will be rooted again.
Kernal vs Firmware confusion...
