Hi,
I want to unlock my bootloader on sonys offical website but before I want to know something about cyanogenmod:
If I follow this tutorial to install cyanogenmod, I just need an unlocked bootloader on xperia mini pro and nothing else? I can do this with the stock sony gingerbread kernel and 4.0.2.A.0.69 firmware?

Theres no kernel I have to flash?
I just can unlock my bootloader on se website and then go to cwm and Format the system, data & cache partitions of my device and then Perform a factory reset? Is that all?

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!
i dont know how it works...
Guys can u tell me how ?
Step by Step please...
Thanks
I actually rooted my phone when I wan in 4.0.4 with the kernel trick so I'm not sure but as much as I know if you flash the ftf file of 4.0.4 you can do it without losing root...

After installing is only black screen (no sony logo, just BLACK SCREEN and nothing happening)without bootanim. Just nothing. I wiped all cache/dalvik cache and /system folder. What i did wrong? Thanks !
You are in GB and those are for ICS. If you're on ICS, check if you did all the wipes, formatting system is highly important

No i relocked it because Flashtool said something about missing file. I don´t understand much. CWM is part of kernel (now i don´t mean X-parts CWM which i already have) ? I need this for warranty, because if i need repair phone i must clean all edits like root and relock bootloader.
Thanks again for response!

1)what is the advisable method for me as a noob user?(easiest and safest way of rooting)
2)what are the disadvantages if i root? i've read somewhere that the led bar will function incorrectly is that true?
3)if the rooting process has been stopped, will it ruin the phone?
i have some more question but i cant remember it for now, maybe because im so nervous about rooting. thank you very much in advance.

1) if you want to root .10 Fw you can do it easily by using binary method.... But why you don't flash .54???
2) no disadvantage as such until you know what you are doin..... And I don't think led has anything to do with rooting until you are on stock Rom
3) no it won't do any serious damage... You can repair easily....

Tbh, i'm new at xperia u. I've had it for the longest time without rooting/unlocking. 4.4 works for me. Sure, i experience bluetooth and video recording issues, but it works for my purposes (stable and fast rom. ART shows noticeable improvements, performance-wise). I'm not saying it's the best choice, just something to get you started.
I think its better to install this. Its better than ICS and bugless.
Or You can install Cyanogenmod 10, if you dont need xperia stuff=) This one is bugless too.
Install any of the Stock JB Rom... Stock JB is surely twice better than Stock ICS and its totally bugless
Note: Unlocked bootloader is required
