No need to DOWNGRADE
No need to ROOT
All the four custom kernels you mentioned above are pre-rooted with pre-installed CWM
Just flash them!

My Problem isn't in rooting or downgrading
I just want to know whether custom kernel will make me gain root with out the need to push stuff like SuperUser and BusyBox to phone
Thanks Buddy:good:
As For Downgrading it's not Needed to downgrade the hole rom
just flash an older stock kernel ,root it then flash the default kernel
see Sony forums

Hi,
I have unlocked bootloader with ICS update installed. I want root access. I have read about one way to root phone. It involves downgrading to GB ftf. I don't want to do it. Is there any other way I can root my phone?

Its easy bro you do not need to downgrade as your phones bootloader is unlocked
just flash the custom kernel with flashtool almost all custom kernel are per rooted:laugh:
Search for flashtool and custom kernel compatible with stock ICS
I suggest you Extended stock kernel it great.:good:
You can search in development section

OK. After I install a custom kernel what do I have to do? Install busy and superuser? How can I go back to stock kernel? IF I go back to stock kernel, will I lose my root?

Superuser is installed automatically, busybox not, you need to install it from Play Store by yourself.
You can install stock kernel with Flashtool, just pick regular .ftf file, but only choose kernel to be installed. You will keep root.
I just now unlocked bootloader & now i want kernel with following features
1.Root
2.CWM
Every custom boot image has these
1. get custom kernel <--- you automatically got CWM
2. get custom firmware (ROM) <--- superuser included, usually pre-rooted

as i said before, custom kernel doesnt bring you root, it just gives you CWM. to get root, you need to install custom ROM (coz custom ROM usually pre-rooted) or install root manually if you wanna stick to stock ROM. to install root manually, search this forum around.

What he is looking for probably call insecure boot image. There are basically 2 different ways to give root, 1) insecure boot image 2) su binary
1) Insecure boot image basically give root access to anything, which is why many rom developers do not use since AVERAGE user who dont understand a thing about their phone, this will bring lots lots of trouble
If you want this, compile it urself. Use google
2) SU binary basically manage the root privilege to be given to certain command or apps which u usually encounter.
Use custom rom or root it urself if you want to use stock rom. If you want stock with pre-rooted, put the su binary urself here or find some stock rom with pre-root

Hi !
I'm interested in root my sk17i with .587 without a custom kernel and without using the 4.0.3 stock kernel metod.
I like to have the original kernel, but have root and recovery, It's possible for .587??
In dev section, I've only seen stock kernel with CWM and preroot but for .431
Thanks !

If you are referring to the extended stock kernel, it works with .587 and this is this best way to root stock for me!!!

Hi guys...
Last week my xperia mini ST15i just updated to 4.1.B.0.587
I am going to root, unlock bootloader and install custom rom on my phone, but looks like there is no clear instruction on how to root it...
I did found some instruction though, but i am not sure which is good :
1) http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792 (Should I follow the method for 4.1.B.0.431 ?)
3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923409
Which method i should follow?
And lastly, should I unlock the bootloader before root or after rooting?
Many thanks...
Look in my signature there's how to unlock bootloader.
You needn't root it before, but if I were you I would downgrade to gingerbread before unlocking bootloader, after that flash a prerooted kernel like rage kernel for gingerbread and your device will automaticly be rooted

No there's no difference, do it on the software version you want.
Yes these prerooted kernels will root your device automaticly and cwm is built in the kernel

1. No difference. You'll just have ics firmware . You can just unlock your bootloader the official way while in ics and just like that flash a custom prerooted ics kernel .
2. And yes all custom kernels for our device has cwm .
No need to downgrade to ginger bread just for gaining root access if you are going to unlock bootloader!
hit thanks if I've helped!

I would use this method, but you need an .ftf of .587 for your device, if you have one, do it like explained there.
The kernel trick method is okay, too
I suggest you unlock your bootloader first by this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613
(it directly unlocks bootloader without writing any commands)
And then install a prerooted kernel via the above mentioned toolkit...
Your will be rooted and then just flash the custom ROM :thumbup:
And the best part... You don't need to downgrade to GB

Okay. then, do this.
Choose any ROM you like.
Flash via Flashtools base firmware(If you choose a GB rom then Flash any Gingerbread Stock Firmware, if you choose an ICS then flash any ICS Stock Firm..)
Flash any compatible kernel
Turn your phone on and enter cwm Recovery
Flash te ROM and do all wipes that ROM requires(its on OP of the ROM you 've selected)
Reboot and hope it works well!
Hope this can solve your problem

FYI : if you already unlock the bootloader, you don't have to root it anymore....just flash any custom kernel into your phone...all custom kernel is pre-rooted and have CWM be default....
flash any custom kernel first, then you can install any custom roms or official roms with losing your root....
hello, do u fix it? i have similar problem with original firms. with android 4.0 doesnt work, its start rebooting and downgroun in 2.3.4 works better but its reboot too.
