if you have unlock bootloader then installing custom kernel is best way..if you have lock bootloader then there are plenty threads that describe how to root .62 firmware..you can find them in general section...

Thank you for the answer. But what is the best whey that you can suggest?
Can you suggest a good custom kernel, if I unlock bootloader?
And what is the best whey if I haw a locked bootloader?
What are benefits and downsides of unlocking bootloader?

DO this:
Flash a fresh .58 or .42 firmware using FlashTool
Root it using DooMlorDs Easy Rooting Kit version 4
Connect to a WiFi or a stable 3G and update via Update Center App on your phone
Done!
or you can try this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517222
for me rage kernel is best kernel..
pros of unlock bootloader:
you can install custom kernel.. and custom rom..can make your phone faster..
cons of unlock bootloader:
you will void your garrenty
Thank you for the answer.
Where can I find stock .58 for Xperia Mini?
Is this the kernel that you are suggesting?

If it is safe to unlock the bootloader on your phone. If it isn't you end up with a brick instead of a phone.
Look under your batttery u will find like a 10w29 or 11wxx tell me it

Hi!
Hi! I have a :
[device] SONY Xperia U
[Model Number] ST25i
[Android] 2.3.7 (Gingerbread)
[Firmware] 6.0.B.1.576
My question is: How Can I root it? I tried 2-3 apps(on my phone). 2 of them didn't rooted the phone when they were over, and the other told me to wait a few minutes(I waited 1 night, I mean 6-7 hours and I wasn't over).
Please help! and thanks in advance!
(Sorry for opening such an old thread)
DON'T USE ON XPERIA U, XPERIA P AND OTHER XPERIAS. KERNEL FILES PROVIDED ARE ONLY FOR XPERIA SOLA!!!
This is the same method used by naruto20007 in [Root - Locked Bootloader] Xperia P 6.1.1.B.1.54 so thanks him, i've only packed the two kernel ftf files for sola.
This works with LOCKED and UNLOCKED bootloader
I assume that you are running 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware
You need:
1. Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry LINK
2. 6.1.1.B.1.10 and 6.1.1.B.1.54 stock kernel ftf files LINK
3. Flashtool LINK
INSTRUCTION
1. Flash MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_KERNEL.ftf with Flashtool and reboot
2. Root using Bin4ry's method
3. Flash MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf with Flashtool and reboot
After flashing the 6.1.1.B.1.10 kernel your icons can turn black, don't worry and go on.
If you have unlocked bootloader you can also root by flashing TheBrainsKernel

No, you're going to flash only the kernel, not wiping

If you exclude userdata.sin data will intact
If flashing a part other than above file you can retain your data
Flashing kernel or baseband has nothing to do with data

Umm...no dude....with e-root u cud directly root it and even if we choose the downgrade option there are 2 ways downgrading to .42/.58 rom and root it or just downgrade to a rootable kernel, for e.g. .562 kernel and then root.
