Hello guys
I´m a newbie in this new phone... i owned an HTC HERO that i was completely good on rooting, installing ROMS etc...
But i´ve got this phone now.
Did a lot of research, read a lot of things but i´m not sure. Hope you guys can help me.
My Xperia mini pro is on its stock(factory) rom:
android 4.0.4
baseband 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-72
2.6.32.9 kernel
version 4.1.B.0.431
I´ve tried a lot of apps to root it(superoneclick, z4...) but none of them worked.
I´ve read that to root it, it should downgrade to another android version, root and them upgrade.
Is that correct? Or this device with this version of android and baseband can be rooted?
Thank you
Sérgio.

There are multiple methods of rooting your device.
But its all the same, all you need to read the how-to and make you didnt messed up.
Btw, report if it solves your probs.

well, I allready got my xperia mini pro rooted but with firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42 and android 2.3.4 GB. It's a brand free new phone, I haven't even inserted a SIM since I received it yesterday, I'm still waiting for my SIM. I've only downgraded the firmware & rooted the SO, nothing else (the only new change is the adition of superuser after rooting)
I'd like to know the steps I have to follow from this point to install a rooted android 4 ICS , if there is any good guide to lead me..
Thanks
EDIT: finished...simpler than I thought

I'd like to root an xperia mini pro SK17i with android 2.3.4 and firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62. It's a free phone (not attached to any company)
I¡ve been looking around, but most tutorials are obsolete.
which guide should I follow?
Thanks

You have to downgrade to a rootable version using Flashtool, then root it using DooMLoRD's method. THIS tutorial is absolutely not obsolete... and it's sticked in the first page of the forum
I got confused
thanks for your reply
I saw it before, but I was confused in beginning, it seems there's a msitake:
when it says "NOTE: If you have newer firmware(4.0.2.A.0.62 or 4.0.2.A.0.69), check tutorial 3 first to downgrade your firmware"
should say "...check tutorial 4" That silly thing made me think that the whole tutorial was wrong or obsolete, cause both points have nothing to do with each other.
Thanks for your help, I'm gonna try it
PD: do I need a SIM card in any step of the whole prcess?
No. I don't think you'll need a sim
