If you are on gingerbread Firmware (4.0.2.A.0.xx, but NOT .62 or .69) you can root it using Sony flashtool. Just connect device (USB debugging and unknow sources on) and click on the Open padlock.
If you are on ics you have to Flash gingerbread (for example .42) Firmware back, root it. Then there's a little Trick before upgrading to ics, with which it is pretty easy to root. But Do it like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514 this thread
Pls tell us which Software Version you are currently on!

I used doomlords firmware and mines rooted successfully.
Try with his first, then if it works , try the English firmware and do the same steps.
Sorry if im not clear with my answers this is the first forum ive actively posted on

superoneclick uses exploits to get root if the phone doesnt have unsecure kernel. However, there is no exploit for the new gingerbread SE software right now (gingerbreak is fixed!). Therefore there is now chance right now to get root without unlocking bootloader and flash unsecure kernel :/
Therefore you have to flash the unsecure kernel, and then superoneclick gets root quite easily.
Oh, so basically the unsecure kernel hasnt got the patch or fix or update that stops you from rooting, its been removed ? Am I right ???
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
no, there is just an option "secure" which (if set to 0) allows superoneclick to root very easy!
Oh k, I get it

Why not go a bit further and root it.Then you can use development tools to streamline your phone.
Then you can either stay on the same rom or upgrade it..

^ right on !! why not root the phone !! you're gonna love you phone after that !!
Besides the stock gingerbread is laggy you will see the great difference when you use a custom rom

Why not to unlock bootloader. If you do this, you can use better kernels for your phone.
I unlock bootloader with "Flashtool"

Welcome to the world of Android! The guys above are right! You definitely want to unlock bootloader on your phone, which is the first step to getting your phone onto a custom ROM. Since you're new here, I suggest you check out this thread and read things CAREFULLY. Take time to explore. If you have any questions or run into problems, just post here and I can help you out. The developers already have quite a bit to work on.

Hello and sorry if this has been already asked. I just got my new Xperia Ray and I want to root it, but I can't. I have locked bootloader, android version 2.3.4 and firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62. Tell me exactly what to do cause I am really newbie. Send me links with tutorials to follow if needed.
P.S.: Moderators move it to right.section if it isn't right now. As I said I new here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567125
here for .62
as for unlocking bootloader , use the testpoint method , dont use the official SE method because if you use that method, your phone will brick when you apply the update from them.
With test point, you can get the official sony's ICS update.

I would just google "how to root xperia ray." Seriously thats how I rooted my droid x. Thats actually how most network problems get fixed at work.

I did googled, but it seems locked bootloader is the problem. And I can't unlock with testpoints. Any way to root with locked bootloader? Also I managed to get to 4.0.2.A.0.42.

if you got any problems with the testpoint, i think you have to try harder as i also had failed so many time doing that...maybe you have to manually install the driver..
I downgrade to .42 with flashtool and rooted with zerg tool. Then installed busybody and cwm with se tweak. All with locked bootloader!

Sorry to say mate you cannot root this using soc or any other easy root method.
You have either to downgrade to build .42 using flashtools then root then update ota.
ONLY DO THIS IF BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED.
If bootloader is unlocked then you can flash a pre rooted kernel which will give you root.
If you go to the se arc pages look in the stickies all the info you need is there with links to the tools you need.
Hope this helps

Since you are using Xperia Mini you can not be on the official ICS release for your device. And if you are in GB you must have rooted by ZergRush Exploit. In that case head over to DoomLord's thread where he shared his easy root tool kit, and you will get a link there which lets you easy unroot too.
Also, you can unroot by flashing your firmware or ROM using flashtool.
Thanks,
Rick
