Please HELP - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

hello everyone..
I have new xperia mini pro and just updated it to ICS 4.0.4 officially.
nothing is done in my phone like flashing or rooting.
whenever i try to customize it using mods it shows flash via CWM.
and with best of my knowledge CWM requires rooting and flashing.
is there any way i can flash zip files without rooting my phone.
or if have to root it please tell me the best way to do it as i think rooting with 4.0.4 is nt possible.
tankyou.

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.

Sir i read it thoroughly.. but was unable to root.
wen i was trying 2b. I downloaded Xperia-ROOT.rev4.zip and executed 01-local-prop.cmd it said rooted device not found.
was there something i missed???
Thanks.

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.

Xperia Mini Pro SK17i Update mystery
Xperia Mini Pro SK17i update is mystery, i update my Xperia Mini Pro to 4.0.4 ICS and i experienced certain inconsistencies, after searching for hours it found that i should repair my update and after that do factory default, i did that and it made my phone much better. Now everything is fine accept one think that making me hate my phone, it's battery backup which is very ugly. It hardly goes one day in mostly standby mode.
If anyone else like me is frustrated with only battery issue or know how to fix it than please reply...

hi guys,
I am quite a noob, and trying to figure this xperia thing, after at last I managed to nicely root and flash my htc.
But it seems on xperia it is all working different. What I need, is generally to delete bloatware, to do so I need root.
But to get root I need to flash a ROM first? In htc it's rooting so that you can flash roms. It all gets me confused.
Is there a way then to root without any weird downgroading/flashing roms?

If you are on gingerbread you can root it on older Firmware than .62/.69, otherwise you must downgrade and upgrade again. Just Check out my signature

If you want to remove bloatware apps it's easier to remove them from the zip package before you flash the rom.
Open the the rom using 7zip or similar program (open archive NOT extract it).
Then go into the system folder and there is an app folder (system/app).
The app folder contains pretty much most the app's that are on your rom.
Just go through them and delete the app's you don't want, there are plenty of lists around of safe apps to delete/remove, there are some on here and if you google you will find more.

I have an Xperia S with ICS installed
I was wondering if flashing the 4.0.3 kernel from the Lt18 (pretty sure that firmware has rooting abilities)
onto the Xperia S
then Root
then Flash the Xperia S kernel back could possibly work?
I was going to give it a try earlier today but thought it would be best to ask if they're is any risk of perma-bricking the phone and unable to reflash before I did
Are you for real??

You cant, on locked bootloader.
You can flash an Lt18 kernel on a Lt15 with flashtools maybe it might work
I'll give it a try
I'm sure I can flash back if it doesn't
well I hope so
Hi, try putting the phone in a jar of soil. After a few years it might get rooted without having to use the search function.

1) there is a relocking bootloader. Tft file which relocks your bootloader only { DRM KEYS WONT RETURN}which will help you to bypass Sonys altered software error while updating it through SEUS or PC Companion n you can update your device without any problem to latest firmware....
2) No performance change is noticed rather the performance wil increase if you using custom roms...
3)it works only for Xperia 2011 device

Hi for now, there are no known ways of rooting the locked Sola bootloader.
There are successful methods for this on ICS but not gingerbread, for now. I have tried so many.
Thanks for replies. Thread moved to the Q & A.
so we w8 ICS or FXP its like a race! xD
I got tired of waiting and crazy rumours so I did it, unlocked myself. I wanted root that much. Plus, I read B4anry explain in a comment exactly how Sony treats locked/unlocked bootloader, depending on what you've done, and I think I'm safe. He knows his stuff obviously!

[P][ROOT][.54 update] Easy Rooting Xperia P Without Downgrade

Hi,
I bought New Xperia P and i upgraded it with 4.0.4 latest frimware,I tried so many Tutorials for root but i didnt get root access to my phone so i found new method for rooting.
Its easy just follow the below steps
Note: This method is for 6.1.1.B.1.54 update
1. Download Xperia P LT22_6.1.B.0.599_Kernel.zip file attached below.
2. Flash .559 kernel via Flashtool. and start your device (Enable Usb debugging Mode)
3. Download Root with Restore by Bin4ry v18 attached below.
4. Extract it using 7zip
5. Double click the RunMe.bat and follow instructions!
(Xperia phones = Normal mode)
6. Download Xperia P LT22_6.1.1.B.1.54_Kernel.zip file attached below.
7. Flash .54 kernel via Flashtool.
8. Reboot,check for superuser app & enjoy.

Thanks to naruto20007 & neoxx3m for kernel files.
Thanks to Bin4ry for Rooting tool
Thanks man i rooted my device with ease by ur steps
...but the steps you detailed are *exactly* downgrading the kernel, rooting that, and then flashing the new kernel back—pretty much the very steps everyone would have done since the .54 update. How is this 'Without Downgrade'?

when you flash a ROM by flashtool and default confs your root access will be lost, and about this methot: bcz older kernels are rootable and newer not.

hi i just recently switched from an xperia x10 mini (mimi) to an XPERIA U ST25a
Android 2.3.7
firmware 6.0.B1.564
kernel 2.6.35.7+
I was palnning to update to android 4.0.4 but i was told not to since it get alot laggy.
can someone link me on how to root this device im not sure if its the same way i did
for my mimi.
and what do you suggest is the best kernel/rom for this device? (stable)
i honestly want to get the most of it. thanks for the help in advance.
I HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN TRYINT TO ROOT IT SAYS IM IN MTP MODE, and i dont know how to disable that seems like its by defautl
Just look in this section for an gbrocks and flash it it stock modified gb rom and work great and its also prerooted.

Secondly there is no rating for custom kernels/ROMs, every development is best in its own unique way !

THANKS I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED AND UNLOCKED MY PHONE
now im trying to install CWM but on that page it shows only CWM for ICS
im running ANDROIDN 2.3.7
i tried it and when i turn off phone i rapidly prass vol down and shows the blue green blue light but then it goes back to sony logo and starts normally
Now as you have unlocked your boot loader you can flash custom kernels, most of them have pre installed CWM.
Check for GB ROMs in the development forum.
Or CM9 ROMs are pretty smooth and simple, you may flash stock ICS (ftf file) and flash a CM9 ROM.
