this will sound weird, but while I used cm7 on xperia x10 mini, i didnt fund much need to root mini pro.
Maybe when rooting will be much easier, i'll root it to get rid of some apps, and that's it.

The newest firmware, which is 4.0.2.A.0.62, cannot be directly rooted, because the exploit has been fixed.. The program, which you used didn't work.
To root your phone, you have to downgrade to older firmware, for example .52. It can be done easily with WotanServer and with Flashtool. WotanServer is easy and everything is automatic, with Flashtool you have to download correct files and then flash.
After rooting you can install Clockwork recovery with the file in this topic.
Depending on the ROM, that you want to install, you might have to unlock your bootloader. Check from the ROM topic, if a requirement is unlocked bootloader or not.
Ah, one more thing: The freexperia CM on this forum are still in development and not completely ready, stability is also not sure.

Hi all,
I have some problems with trying to root my Xperia Ray with the DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit).
I have done all the pre-work, allowing USB debugging and unknown apps, connecting the device to the computer (Windows 7) per USB, drivers were installed automatically and I installed the Sync Companion, too. Starting the script --> Does not work.
Using adb then manually and working myself through the script, there is one line where the script stops working (all other command lines prior were working fine):
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
Error message: mount: permission denied (are you root?)
as all the other command lines depend on this command, there are more error messages later, but I guess this is the most crucial one. It seems for this command you need root access, but I dont have it (since I am trying to get it with the script... ;-) )
Any ideas how to get the command and the script working?
Device: Xperia Ray, Android Version 2.3.4, Build Number 4.0.2.A.0.69, Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Cheers and thanks for helping!
Chris
You cant root the .69 firmware. Unless you flash a different kernel.

for 4.0.4, u have to downgrade the kernel to 4.0.3 and use the ics emulator hack exploit to root it. Then flash back to 4.0.4 kernel
Downgrade to fw.42 or 58 with flashtool.
I also have the same problems as you.
Which is better fw?
.42 or 58?

which version do you vant to root?
Please post your question in Q&A thread, its a development section.
If I were you, I would research regarding which FW's do the ZergRush exploit apply...
and please post in the proper thread...
There are rooting methods for each FW, please use search

That doesn't work for ICS 4.0.4 for XMP/LWW
Here's what works:

Oh no, I can't use this method, because I didn't update to ics. I flashed .ftf, so there's no way?

If you checked that thread, the requirement is any rooted GB firmware below .62.
If you searched in Xperia Mini & Mini Pro & Active General before rooting your phone, you would find this: [Tutorial]Root.Xperia 4.0.4 ROM | 4.1.B.0.431<< It's is based on this method
Yes 2 minutes before I read your post I started the 2. method I think it'll work!

i downgraded through flashtool and it went perfectly fine, in About Telephone section says that i,ve .42 firmware.
one question, did i need to enable adb debugging on or off for flashing? (i idid it with enabled debugging).
