Hi all!
This how-to applies for locked bootloader phones.
What you will need?
ICS 4.0.3 ftf*: http://www.4shared.com/rar/2Lf1ikwm/ST18i_41A0562.html
ICS 4.0.4 ftf*: http://www.mediafire.com/?2o2glqbm6oyf9m9
Root_v5 hack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600728
CWM installer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190
*Note: Alternatively download stripped down ftf files (kernel.sin + loader.sin):
ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel.ftf http://www.mediafire.com/?gbs29dw3tzx765k
ST18i_4.1.B.0.431_kernel.ftf http://www.mediafire.com/?jz462u07zjxqd9h
Preliminary step:
= First off, install full ICS 4.0.4. You have to be on ICS 4.0.4 in order to proceed.
= The easiest way to do so is to use Flashtool to flash 4.0.4 ftf and DE-SELECT wipe data! Thus your current apps will be kept.
= By installing 4.0.4, if you had root, you will lose it. But worry not, here is what you should do:
Follow this 3-step process:
1) By using the Flashtool flash only the kernel (kernel.sin + loader.sin) from ICS 4.0.3
= For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
= Put the ftf file into the firmware directory of flashtool (usually c:/Flashtool/Firmware), open flashtool and select flash, then flashmode, chose the 4.1.A.... firmware and select exclude Fota, system and baseband , select 'No final verification' and DE-SELECT wipe data, cache and apps log. Click OK and follow instructions (power off phone, press volume down button and plug the usb).
2) Boot the phone and do regular Root_v5 hack + CWM installation (CWM-5.0.2.7-nAa-r2)
= When it's finished you can root with the Root_v5 tool following its instructions
= Now install CWM recovery by using the CWM Installer following its instructions
3) By using the Flashtool flash only the original kernel from the ICS 4.0.4 provided ftf.
= For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
= Now do the same operation as 1) with 4.0.4 ftf file and you're done.
Enjoy!
p.s. Thanks to Frakkia and others for useful tips.
perfect...
just made mistake first time, and flashed full rom 4.0.3

Hi all!
Since I have my bootloader locked and I've updated to ICS 4.0.4 via ftf file, I have lost root. So, here is how to get root once again - it is an easy 3-step process:
By using the Flashtool flash only the kernel (kernel.sin + loader.sin) from ICS 4.0.3
Boot the phone and do regular Root_v5 hack + CWM installation (CWM-5.0.2.7-nAa-r2)
By using the Flashtool flash only the original kernel from the ICS 4.0.4 provided ftf.

download 4.0.3 here: http://www.4shared.com/rar/2Lf1ikwm/ST18i_41A0562.html
download 4.0.4 here: http://www.mediafire.com/?2o2glqbm6oyf9m9

and cwm with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190
Now, put the two rom files into the firmware directory of flashtool (usually c:/Flashtool/Firmware), open flashtool and select flash, then flashmode, chose the 4.1.A.... firmware and select exclude Fota, system and baseband , select 'No final verification' and DE-SELECT wipe data, cache and apps log. Click ok and follow instructions (power off phone, press volume down button and plug the usb).
When it's finished you can root with the tool for root following instructions(it needs 3 reboots if i don't make mistakes)
Now install cwm (first you need to install busibox with busybox installer in playstore).
Now do the same operation with firmware 4.0.4 and you're done.
It's easier to do then explain

Hello
How flash i only the kernel from 4.04?
I can only with loader.sin.
Thanks
Just updated the first post with more instructions. Hope it helps.
You guys just open the ftf file with and zip opener, then delete everything except the META folder, kernel.sin and loader.sin, then flash it with Flashtool.
great solution for Locked Bootloader

i did both..still.. .wat to do now??
I followed all the steps (including the busybox installer before installing CWM) with no errors, still Android tells me it is 4.0.3 and firmware is 4.1.A.0.562. So, it was all for nothing or am I missing something?

First you must have 4.0.4 on phone. I have updated my 4.0.3 via PCC to 4.0.4 (and I lost root). Then I made my own ftf.
If you have (non rooted) 4.0.4 on ray, than follow steps in #1. post
ps. Sorry for my bad english

I have a xperia mini st15i-1.locked bootloader. 2.Unrooted. For rooting purpose i flash with a .42 based ftf file using flash tool and then i root my phone and install cwm by market app. Then I put the file to the to sd card and install it using aroma installer after wiping -1.cache,factory reset 2.format data 3.format system 4.format cache 5.format dalvik cache. Installation completes and when the device is rebooted it stcks after showing the boot animation.Dont know whats wrong.Please help I am tired of trying all this thing repetitively but no luck for me.
Which ROM did you flash? Which kernel are you using? If it's an ICS based ROM, and you're on a .42 GB, obviously enough the phone won't boot properly.

What is meant by ics based rom??
It means that they are developed starting from official Sony ICS ROM. Therefore, they will only work if you are using ICS kernel.
Do this:
-Download from HERE Mini's ICS firmware.
-Use Flashtool to flash only the kernel: this means you have to select the ICS .ftf and then uncheck all "Wipe" boxes. Then check all "Exclude" voices, but leave "Exclude kernel" unchecked.
-After flashing the kernel, you should be able to boot.

Thnxx....But if I want to install those roms then what should I do?Do I have to root the ICS?? I have this ftf and just flashed but I lost root access.
Well, you lost root access because you didn't do what I told you to do.
So why should I tell you what to do next? You probably wouldn't do it.
So... you flashed ICS. Congratulations. Now, to root ICS, you have to flash GB back. Then root it. Then, you can:
a) Flash ICS following THIS tutorial to keep root. Then install CWM. Then, use CWM to flash the ROM.
b) Install CWM on GB. Use CWM to flash the ROM. And then you can do what I told you to do earlier. That is: ONLY. FLASH. ICS. KERNEL. Not the whole ROM. Otherwise, you'll have to start from the beginning.

3. After that place your firmware ftf file in c/flashtool/firmware/
4. Open flashtool, connect your device in flash mode( turn off the phone and connect via usb cable while keeping the back key pressed down). Your LED should glow green

Hi all, I updated my phone to 6.1.1.b.1.54 but then realised I couldnt root so went back to the firmware before fully - now I am wondering do I Need the full version of 6.1.1.b.1.54 after rooting? Or just the kernel?
Also how do I get CWM onto the phone?
There are so many guides etc, I've spent an hour or so googling it but perhaps someone in the know would find it easier?
thanks.

Wxtract the ftf file with 7-Zip or other archiving software that can to it, put it flashtool's firmwares directory, and flash with flashtool.

Look. First of all (I have already told you that in another thread i have posted) thanks for tolerating my lack of knowledge.
I have an unknown issue (to me atleast - lol) and i cannot boot to CWM. Not manually either via ROM Manager or by holding power button and choosing "Reboot to CWM". Therefore i cannot make a Nandroid back up (I will explain later why I want to). Some hours ago I copied the previous Nandroid Backup to my PC to save some space on the SD (Backup and Blobs Folders), but i haven't deleted them from SD yet.
After i unplugged my phone i couldn't access CWM. My phone is also starting to get preety laggy. (I set some CPU settings with setCPU to save battery)
Therefore what i have in mind to do is the following.
1.Fixing (somehow) CWM so i can make a Nandroid of the current status. (Is it possible to make partial backup - eg only contacts)
2. Factory/data reset. (Is there a way i can do that and then retrieve only Contacts, Apps, Apps' data, Apk's?)
3. Flash Stock Firmware (and automatically get my stock Kernel back - as you mentrioned)
4. Flash another Custom Kernel (Or not. I haven't decided which is best)
5. Flash Custom ROM
6. Restore any data I can without damagin my phone or getting it to its previous state.
Current ROM: Enigma v6.4
Current Kernel: Nemesis V6.3
I don't know if this is the correct order for things to be done.
Why complicate things? Make full backup with titabium backup.

Yes, and of course.
Your phone will be with stock firmware and factory reset.
If you haven't used flashtool before, delete everything in it's firmwares directory before you copy the firmware and flash it, not to flash the wrong file by mistake.

no need to root it to install CM11, just flash the kernel (boot.img) from the zip file with fastboot or flashtool fastboot mode, and install it.
Do not forget to copy the zip file before you flash the kernel.
