Restore stock firmware with Flashtool, as WotanServer is no longer free. You can find stock firmware files from the forum, my tutorial for example(check in signature).
To use Hybrom ROM, you need to unlock bootloader, then install custom kernel and then install the ROM.
The kernel probably already includes Clockworkmod Recovery, so you don't have to install it. Just enter the recovery after kernel installation, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik cache and then install the ROM.

Thanx a hell lot
I got my phone recovered
Rerooted busy box installed
N tried installin cyanogen 7.1
Some error again :-(
Did is properly
Tried installin cyanogen on x8 long back
Without unlockin boot loader
Worked extremely wel
But here, not happenin :-(

It's very unlikely the ROM you're trying to install requires only the stock kernel, have you double checked the thread to make sure an unlocked bootloader isn't required?

All 2011 Xperia custom ROMs require custom kernel and unlocked bootloader.
Only Xperia UXP NXT ROM can run on stock kernel, every other ROM you must unlock bootloader and install custom kernel.

Bootloader unlock voids warranty. Official method also removes DRM keys.
Installing custom ROM removes all your data.

Yes, if you use the official unlock method you'll permanently lose DRM keys (which will stop things such as TrackID working).
The s1tool method retains these keys.

Only the original TrackID stops working, if you install from Market, it will work.
So far I have had no problems with losing DRM keys.
No-Edit: Aw yeaa!

Turn off phone, hold down Volume UP, connect USB Cable, then your phone is in fastboot mode, blue LED lights up. The screen stays turned off, nothing will appear there. You are now able to install kernels via fastboot. To exit this, just disconnect the cable.
The same thing, but with Volume DOWN button and your phone is in flashmode, then you can install stock firmware back via Flashtool or SMUS(Sony Mobile Update Service).
To enter Recovery, turn on your phone in regular way, and when screen turns brighter(on some custom kernels, also LED turns on), click Volume DOWN button many times until the Recovery menu appears.

Btw this Forum is for xperia Mini (pro) (sk17i) and Not for x10 Mini pro (u20i?). But:
When you try to enter cwm, what Do you mean with Start and hold volume +/-? You nedd to press it again and again, then you get in cwm. If that doesn't work Flash stock Firmware back.
