Yes cause you can't root ics for mini pro. You have to downgrade and then root downgraded firmware, use local-prop and then upgrade to ics without wiping data, then run push-root-files and you should have rooted ics!

Hi guys,
on the site of unlockroot software, in the supported devices, xperia st15i is present with buildt 4.1.B.0.431
But it does not work... you know why?
As far as I know, the only way to have a rooted .431 is THIS one

do you think there is hope that is released a few tools like OneClickRoot for this smartphone?
why is she does not want to install the files
Sorry for my english
Custom Kernel
I would suggest you install a custom kernel like Rage Kernel which is pre rooted and pre installed cwm and no need of installing wifi modules
Try it out , it works
to install a modified kernel should I unlock the bootloader?

There is no way to root .62 directly without unlocking BL, but there is a way around: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866
And please edit your thread title, to reflect your question.

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
Sergio.
It can't be rooted as it is now.
Either unlock the bootloader and install a pre-rooted kernel, or downgrade to GB and root it following THIS tutorial.
Also, if you read it already, I don't really understand why you are still asking how to do it

ICS Firmware is impossible to root directly so far , you need to downgrade your phone to an older GB firmware if don't want to unlock bootloader here's the tutorial it's working 100%
Ok.. understanding more now...
which one is "safer" downgrading or custom kernel direct?

It's up to you .... if you want to unlock bootloader than only downgrading method is possible DO NOT flash a kernel with locked bootloader !

It's not bad if you try to install custom kernel with locked bootloader. The installation won't succeed as custom kernel has no official signature, so the installation won't be done.

hit thanks if i helped you!!!
I used the dwn gradng process,,,nw rooted.
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
i advice yhu Unlock BL first using Test Point Method den install Custom Pre-Rooted Kernel or get a good Pre-Rooted ROM!!!
Test Point Method:- http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
i used dat for my mini pro.....
Both methods are interesting......
Anyway, thank you very much guys, really.
Will try any of them soon.
Hi again Guys,
I need an info here.
I´ll downgrade the mini pro to GB and root.
After that, should i flash the ICS via flashtool or can i update it from SUS/Pc Companion or OTA?
In which case from SUS/PCCompanion or OTA i will loose the root?
Or i should ignore it and update via Flashtool?
I did not understand that part of the guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514)
try to make in a few words(correct me if i´m wrong):
Download GB firmware and flash using flashtool
Root via Doomlord
The part III(preparation to root 4.0.4) ok.
After this, this is my doubt. Should i Flash ICS from flashtool or update it by SUS/PCCompanion/OTA ?
Flash GB.
Root it.
Run push_local.prop.cmd
Upgrade to ICS:
a) Using Flashtool -> Make sure you don't Wipe data. uncheck that box.
b) Using PC Companion / SUS -> Make sure you choose not to wipe data, too.
Run the other file which name I don't remember
That's all
ICS is not available via OTA.
Doesn't matter how you update, as long as you do the 01-....cmd file before updating.
If you use Flashtool, make sure to uncheck Wipe Data option.
i rooted my xperia go using bin4ry and after i updated my phone the root was gone, i tried rooting again with bin4ry and it didnt work.
how can i reroot my phone?

Flash 6.1.1.B.1.10 Kernel only
Root using root with restore by Bin4ry
Flash 6.1.1.B.1.54 kernel only
You're done
I Searched for tutorial but didn't find any
Auto Root
I think you should find and flash a kernel with auto root in it's features.
This can help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1829729

Didn't you read my reply above friend ?
Check it, that's the only procedure on locked bootloader
You know how to flash only kernels outta a firmware ?
If not then check the screenshot attached. Mark the same in flashtool
You can get the 6.1.1.B.1.10 firmware from here talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
And .54 you already have

Yes, but do not flash the whole firmware.

So fash .10 kernel

I'm having troubles to root my Sony Xperia U ST25a.
I just unlocked the Bootloader *yay! finaly* as I read that it is needed to root using this video: /watch?v=x65ua5x4sMc
But when the Root part comes I'm afraid to use that files because my Phone Software Version is: 6.1.1.B.1.54 and I didn't found any kernel.elf files for this version.
Can someone help me with it not using ST25i way, or a problematic way (yes, I'm noob on it) to root my phone?
I really need to use LEDs-U-CTRL
Thank you all.
NOTE: I already used Xperia P kernels but my phone died and I dont know how I made him alive again.

Use flashtool to flash a stock ICS Firmware.
Root your phone:
1.Method Search rootable stock ICS firmware and kernel. Flash the fw, root the phone with Many Android by Bin4ry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31545627
Than flash the kernel.
2.Method Flash a prerooted Kernel, like Munjenis's CWM kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934093&highlight=kernel
3.Method Look in the Development Index here
NOTE: I already used Xperia P kernels but my phone died and I dont know how I made him alive again.
