[Tutorial]root .62 with stock kernel (unlock bootloader requiered) - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

this is my first tutorial, hope it help
sorry for my english
some people going to say, "but, if you have unlocked bootloader, only have to flash a custom kernel with root", this method is for peoble that want to have their original firmwares .62 and stock kerner or in my case, people that can't flash custom kernel because of the problem of "1 bad blocks encountered" in the nand memory :'(
you need:
1) Unlock bootloader
2) a custom kernel with recovery (its not going to be flashed)
3) this file root.zip
4) flashtools
Intruccion:
1) save the root.zip to your sdcard
2) open flashtools
3) press the flash button (the one with the lightning)
4) Enter the option Fastboot mode
5) conect your phone in fastboot mode (phone off and press volumen + while connect the phone, the indicator led must turn blue)
6) press "Select Kernel to HotBoot" in the flashtools (in hootboot the kernel its no really flashed)
7) select the custom kernel with recovery
8) the phone restart, press continiously volume down to enter in recovery mode
9) in the recovery enter in install zip from sdcard
10) install root.zip
flashing this file with CWM the phone gain root access, i have only prove it with the mini, i don't know if it works for other models

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now..
Custom kernels already give root, after you have installed the kernel.

thanks for your answer
i know, but if you read the post, you see that some people CAN'T install custom kernels or some people prefer use stock kernel, this post its particulary for that cases
in my case, i unlock bootloader for flash custom kernel but i encountered the problem of "1 bad blocks encountered", a factory failure, so, i can't instal custom kernels, i find this solution for my particulary case and i want to share it, maybe someone have the same problem
