Can a hardreset brings a rooted phone back to unrooted state as I had not installed any custom rom on it.It as the original rom from the factory itself i.e.android 2.3.4
what do you mean by heard reset ?
there are only two ways to reset,
1 from Setting menu, from that, you device will remain rooted,
2 from Sony Pc Companion or SEUS using "repair" from that, your phone will reset to its original state removing the root and CWM recovery.
A hard reset or factory reset will not unroot or remove super user access or the app.
Hope this helps.

You will have to unlock the bootloader and then root via a custom kernel.
Are you sure, cause I can't unlock bootloader, sim lock to o2.
Yes.
There is however still this method for bootloader unlocking.

Officially Unlocked Bootloader
I don't want to unlock my bootloader the unofficial way.. I am not exactly Mr. Safe Hands so I am afraid I'll mess it up.
But I want to Unlock my bootloader officially. Because I know we can relock it later.
Whenever I soft brick my phone, I use Sony Update Service to fix it. But I am aware I can't do that if I unlock my bootloader the official way.
So how do I fix a soft brick after I unlock my bootloader the official way?
I would bow down with gratitude if someone could please share a step by step method
Thank You
Hey this is a dead thread (by me )
But hey dude
dont think that seus will help you always in my situation it didnt.
I used flash tool to unbrick.(from soft brick)
Also if you rellock with oficial method it will be in re-locked state and not Locked
you wont be able to recover because some keys will be lost...
anyway i dont reccomend unlocking anyway.

I've already unlocked! And I changed my kernel.
But I figured it out! Using flashtool.. I can fix a soft brick even if my bootloader is unlocked. I didn't like SUS much anyway.. I have a very slow net connection and, therefore, absolutely hate to watch the files download.
Flashtool is awesome!

for xperia mini(st15i) there is a temp CWM recovery that you can flash with flashtool(require unlocking bootloader) and you can flash mods and when you reboot the device CWM is gone.
search temp boot for xperia mini pro.if you find maybe usefull for you.
if you find temp boot for your device you can root your device with CWM.
Rooting is the gate to modding pal. . .
You need to do it. . .
Also bootloader should be unlocked as if u wanna install custom rom some of them are only for unlocked bootloaders. . .
Rest use search button
Happy modding

To use CWM you dont need to root your phone but you need to unlock the bootloader and flash a new kernel. This WILL void your warranty but if done correctly it opens a whole world of mods in android. Sony provides an official method of doig the same in their blog(jut google) but using that method makes you loose your drm. I did come across another method(on this forum) which claimed that you could do the same without loosing the drm but I havent tried it out.
You can without unlocking...

Hello.
To use CWM without unlocking your bootloader, I did the following :
Start with an xperia mini pro with official ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431)
First, I rooted my xperia following the topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701357
Then I used RecoverX to install CWM without unlocking the bootloader : http://www.iphoneandroidtips.org/how-to/recoverx-to-install-recovery-for-sony-xperia-phones/
Then you restart your Mini Pro when Sony appears, keep on taping on Volume down button to enter CWM menu :cyclops:
Then I could install custom ROMs CyanogenTimescape, RealICS, AOKP (Roms that allow locked bootloaders)
I hope that can help you.

You need to have root already, before updating to ICS.
You need rooted Gingerbread in order to root ICS. Make sure ADB drivers are installed.
