Yes, you need to lock your bootloader if you want. The method is almost the same as you did to unlock it.
The Bootloader will still be Unlocked (If I'm not Wrong)

okay but there is one little problem more... the sony original rom is a ftf file so do i need to flash the kernel first using fastboot.... as i intend to use the mesa kernel with it.....
correct me if i am wrong this is the steps i would be taking.....
1. flash mesa kernel 1.6 using fastboot
2. select flashmode and then then select the sony ics rom 4.1.b.0.431
3. press the volume down button and flash this rom....
4. power on voila stock rom with custom kernel.....
am i right with this procedure........

while flashing the stock ROM (.ftf), make sure you check 'exclude kernel', then proceed. I'm not sure whether this is the right method to flash custom Kernel and Stock ROM, but afaik, it should work.. If you wanna be more sure, then try going through a few tutorials if you find them, or wait for a more experienced member to correct me if I'm wrong.
And also, I'm not sure of how efficiently stock ICS will work with mesa kernel..
Not claiming to be a more experienced user but...
1.) flash stock rom using flash mode
2.) flash kernel using fastboot mode
Ready.
You can not accidentally relock the bootloader by flashing a rom or kernel.
Sent from my phone.
No you will not relock your bootloader. If you Unlocked via the test point method you never need to relock your bootloader, whoever posted the second post needs to reread your question.
Flash using flashtool the ftf, then before you boot up your stock rom, flash MESA kernel via fastboot and flashtool then boot up for the first time. Done.
well i already flashed the rom.... and mind you never flash the kernel and then the rom(ticking xclude kernel) cuz the flashing stucks at 99%....
always flash rom first bootup and then poweroff and then flash kernel.....
also use bloatware remover removes the blotware and makes the stock rom superfast....... loving it......
although i cant seem to figureout on how to use v6 supercharger though....
ANY HELP ON THAT
THANKS AND TON....
and nvr get afraid while rooting u always get something in the last.... even if its a paperweight

You shouldnt have to bootup before flashing the kernel. It has nothing to do with the actual boot aslong as the kernel is correct for the rom you are trying to boot. If you want a fresh install with MESA kernel then you can flash the kernel in fast boot straight after flashing the ftf with flashtool.

Can someone suggest me a kernel and an ics (or jellybean if exists) rom to flash on my xperia mini? I have now ics stock and my bootloader is unlocked. Also i want a guide to help me flash the rom and kernel.
(And also i have a question. Do i need a different custom kernel for every custom rom?)

If you want jelly bean, there's Cyanogenmod 10 by FXP, JellyVanilla and Cyanogenmod 10 by expeacer.
The easiest way to flash a kernel is via flashtool. Just download flashtool and install it. Go to the installation folder and install the drivers. For unlocking bootloader, fastboot should work for you and sdk tools should be installed.
Download the rom you want and the recommend kernel , place the installation zip file on your sd card and go back to flashtool.
In flashtool you click on the flash and select fastboot mode. You turn off your device and hold down the volume up key while connecting to pc. The blue led will light up. Then you select the boot.img you downloaded first. It should be named boot.img, otherwise rename it. Just select it and flashtool will automaticly flash it.
CHECK THE LOG BEFORE YOU PLUG OFF DEVICE!! If there are no errors, just restart device and press volume down again and again. Then you are in cwm. Look in the tutorial how to install the rom what has to be formatted/wiped (like cache or data, etc) and do it like it's explained there. Then select install zip from sd card -> choose zip and install it.
Just reboot and enjoy
After seeing the links of jellybean roms i changed my mind. They have much problems! So could you suggest me an ICS rom?

Expeacer's exmiui.
In this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694027 link it says that it has auto root. This means tha if I flash this kernel then i can flash the ExMIUIv4 2.8.10 rom without rooting?
Miui rom already rooted by default. Such autoroot kernel will give problem with miui rom, u'll get superuser from the kernel and lbe guard from miui at the same time.
I've fixed such bugs in my kernel, try it if u want.

Ok, can you send me a link of your kernel?
So,
1) I flash your kernel using flashtool
2) I download CMW (when i have your kernel and the stock ics)
3) I flash the custom rom
This is all i have to do?
Look in dev subforum, my kernel thread is there.
Anyway:
1- flash kernel. Obviously your bootloader need to be unlock to do this.
2- cwm recovery already in kernel, dont need separate download/install for it. Just boot into cwm after u flashed kernel.
3- do factory reset from cwm, then do wipe dalvik cache.
4- flash rom.
5- reboot into rom.
6- profit

You don't need to download cwm, it's included in the kernel! Just flash kernel and reboot, while rebooting press volume down again and again!

everything is explained there. After unlocking your BL, flash a custom kernel RAGE KERNEL is my favorite as of now. If it gets into bootloop, meaning, your phone enters the boot animation but cannot get into the home screen, just make a full wipe in CWM. Then reebot. Works 100% with me!

You can unlock your bootloader officially,but you will lose your "DRM" . As a result, "track ID" and some features of "Facebook inside xperia" will never work again.Unlocking bootloader via "test point method" is somewhat hard.But it is the best way.That is how I've unlocked mine..!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730874
Dear Guys,
I have bought a Xperia Mini Pro two weeks ago & yesterday I have unlocked the bl and flashed the KernelPanic 1.25, everything was fine, then I installed an LED Fix with CWM, but it end up in a bootloop. I tried to fullwipe it, to flash the kernel again with flashtool etc
Finally, I relocked the bl & flashed the .587 firmware with the PC-Companion. After that at starting the phone only the LED blinks three times, but I still can go into fastboot mode & flash mode.
I've tried everything but nothing worked & or I'm just too stupid for it.
Do you have any idea how to bring it back to life ?
P.S.: Sry for my bad English, I'm from Germany.

The kernel.sin is included in the ftf. After you flashed the fix you needn't relock bootloader, just flash the rom again. I recommend to do a nandroid backup in cwm before flashing anything, just for sure. Try to flash the stock ftf again.
If this doesn't work and you can enter fastboot mode, unlock the bootloader again, flash a custom kernel, boot in cwm and mount usb storage, push a zip of any rom, install the rom, reboot (the kernel must be the right one for the rom of course) and you should be done :good:
EDIt: You can PM me if you want, and we can talk in German
Just LED blinks three times

Have you check your battery?
If the LED blinks in RED color for three times, that means battery is empty
Flashing official firmware seus worked on the second try.
I'm on CyanogenMod FXP 9.1 now, it runs better than stock.
Thanks you all.
hi all!
after successfully flashing and rooting my neo v i started trying these excellent roms of XDA developers.
so, with locked BL, after installing XPERIA Ultimate HD and Zelly Bean i went for a try on Ice Cream pureness v14.
i guess my mistake was that after a full wipe from CWM i installed the ROM, the neo v patch and the upgrade without any reboot but the last one.
anyway, i am stuck on a bootloop now
can't access CWM (i guess because of system format....(?))
i flashed stock rom with flashtool but still nothing
i am searching for hours to avoid posting such an embarrassing "first post" but i really can't find a solution
thanx in advance!
EDIT : Just managed to recover the phone using Sony Ericsson update service software, turning it back to 4.0.4 stock. So i am going again for root etc. I guess there should be an easier way so if anybody knows it please share.
and if any admin could fix that "rootloop" in the title....
cheers!
Yes, there is an easier way. Unlock your phone bootloader with one of two methods. I would choose testpoint method.
Just some tips: When you flash zip, always do wipe cache/data (don't wipe system like someone does), check that it is for locked bootloader, for Neo V not L or Neo etc. I never had those problems. Anyway, I don't see advantage of those ROMs on locked bootloader except of removing bloatware, which you can do by yourself.
And it is called bootloop not rootloop.

Let me clarify this to you first,
CM doesn't work on Locked Bootloader.
So if you're having locked bootloader, there is one way to fix this:
Reflash ICS .ftf & do the whole rooting, installing CWM Recovery procedure again. Go to recovery & install the ROM with instructions stated in ROM thread.
If you have unlocked the bootloader, two ways to solve this problem:
1. Flash any other ICS kernel. Go to recovery, wipe everything except SDCard of course xD
Then power off the phone & flash kernel from CM9 zip. Install CM9.
2. If above doesn't fix the problem, reflash the ICS .ftf again. Flash CM9 kernel & install the zip usual way.
Cheers!

I have unlocked my bootloader lol. Finally I got it back to normal now. I flashed the stock ftf, then update it to a newer firmware to root it. Flash CWM, Follow the instruction on how to flash cm10 (I use cm9) and everything is fine now, but I still want to flash other custom rom...
@Gemichi
If your Bootloader unlocked,you dont need install CWM or root your phone...
What you have to do is just flash kernel which have built-in CWM.
I advice you read again how to flash kernel,I see your post you install CWM,from that I know your bootloader NOT unlocked

Ok You have the stock rom now.. so you can install recovery the way you did it before... (you know, go through the rooting process again and so on)
The ROM you tried to flash depends on a custom kernel, and the custom kernels have recovery built in, so it's not included in the ROM, that's why you lost it.
If you don't (want to) use a custom kernel, you need to find a ROM that is built for the stock kernel. Those ROMS will have the recovery included.
So in short: ROM for stock SonyEricsson kernel will have recovery included.
ROM for custom kernel will not have recovery, because it's in the kernel itself.

Yes, i know you did not flash a kernel. I tried to explain why you lost your recovery.
Think of your phone as a computer:
The hardware by itself can't do anything, so it needs software.
On a computer, you have a bios, or uefi, that initialises some hardware parts and then tries to find an operating system. On your phone it's called the bootloader.
The bootloader looks for the kernel, and loads it when it finds one.
The kernel then looks for the userspace software.On your computer it loads Windows, or Linux or whatever you have on there. On the phone that's called the ROM.
The bootloader on the phone is locked to look for the stock Sony Ericsson kernel, anything else will not work. But you can unlock the bootloader so it can find other kernels too.
The SonyEricsson kernel does not have recovery built in, so when you put recovery on your phone, it's installed in the ROM.
When you flash another ROM it gets overwritten, so if the new ROM does not have recovery included you will lose it.
A custom ROM that runs on Stock Kernel will have recovery included.
A custom ROM that runs on a custom Kernel will NOT have recovery included, because it is built into that custom Kernel.
So when you flash that ROM you will lose recovery.
So you went back to the original firmware, you will need to root the phone again and install recovery again, and then flash a ROM that says it will run on the Stock kernel.
The Nxt5 ROM expects recovery to be in the kernel, so it's not suitable for the SonyEricsson kernel.
I hope you understand this

Hello!
Remember this: You CAN'T use stock kernel with Cyanogenmod. You need to flash the kernel included inside the zip you downloaded.
And as far as I know, there is no CTC kernel for Xperia Mini or Xperia MDPI.
Since you already said that you unlocked the bootloader of your phone, try reflashing stock ICS firmware of Xperia Mini using Flashtool. Then if you want to install the ICS Cyanogenmod, download the zip file for your phone. After downloading the zip, flash the kernel that can be found inside the zip. That kernel has already a CWM installed so no need to install CWM manually. After flashing the kernel, install now the Cyanogenmod zip.

did u mess up ur phone in previous?!?! it looks like.
1. unlock bootloader is only once. it will STAY unlocked no matter what u do. so dont do it again
2.before installing a custom rom like CM, flashing a stock.ftf is good idea like u do, BUT:
a) make sure its the latest version of flashtool
b) install the drivers in the drivers folder of flashtool.
c) may install android SDK to get the google usb drivers (dont install ALL!!! just leave all like it is & install)
2.1 SO NOW if u flash a stock.ftf fw for YOUR phone, IT WILL BOOT 100%. ELSE:
a) u doing sth wrong (wrong fw etc)
b) ur phone is broken , a stock ics ftf will boot 100%, remember.
after this install cm like u say (kernel flash 1st than rom.--> boot)
