Ok. So... no. No way.

No. But you can flash custom kernel such as rage or kamarush..
Then root it.

Hmmmm....the most easy way to root your phone (ICS) is to unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel....all custom kernel have pre-rooted and CWM....
if you want to go the harder way (refuse to unlock bootloader) then downgrade to GB, Root your phone then upgrade back to ICS....
some people use the easy way cause they can relock the bootloader if they WANT TO....

Yes they are . You can't root stock kernel . Or you can download boot extended stock kernel which is also pre rooted....

Testpoint unlock on ICS???

Just a question.
Does the Testpoint method to unlock the bootloader works on a Mini (St15i) when I'm on ICS (stock)?
Or do I need to use official method?
Thanks

Rom is not important... Just try it.l When you get an error saying ": qcReceivePacket: can't get packet start" you can not use testpoint method due to new security by Sony.
So basically I should either use official method or downgrade to GB to be sure that it works?

Yes, it still unlock
If you already unlock it, then your phone will be unlock though you change ROM or upgrade it

ROM has nothing to do with bootloader and unlocking it.

Please help me. I bricked my friends WT19i after trying to flash RealICS rc5.2... i don't know what to do now and how to get his handphone working again. I am stressed. His bootloader is locked. And i flashed CWM using X tool from Play Store. His phone is rooted. I downgraded his firmware from 0.62 to 0.58 using Flashtool, then rooted it, and OTA update back to 0.62 then installed CWM using X tool. Then i tried to flash the RealICS rom and his hp is stuck at Sony Ericsson logo. I cant even get into recovery mode. Please help me. Please please please.

Relax guy, you just need upgrade to ics stock rom, root, install cwm, or you can using extended kernel by expeacer, if you want to install real ics your kernel must ics kernel..
Sent from my Xperia Mini Pro using XDA
You can use krsh or stock kernel... Or you can flash his phone to compete stock... I think unlocking bootloader is not required for installing real ics unless you are flashing custom kernel.... Better not to void its warranty....

Man, just root your phone with local-prop method (look in my signature in the rooting guide, there's a link to a tutorial how to root ics, which is very easy)
When you are on ics, just get cwm and install real ics lite like explained in it's thread.
Don't unlock bootloader, it's not required! Unlocking bootloader voids warranty and you don't need to do it.
And you can't install a custom kernel on locked bootloader, so do it like I've written and just first install offical ics and after that flash real ics

Go to this nice tutorial, there's explained how to flash gingerbread stock rom and root ics, cause you must do it with local-prop/push-root-files method. Just do it like explained there.
After wards install cwm and flash real ics lite for locked bootloader, but check what has to be wiped/formatted (for example do a factory reset or wipe cache). Just look in the real ics thread

AFAIK, right! Just flash a ROM/kernel combo and you'll have root with most ROMs out there.

You can not. For flashing any other kernel except stock you need unlocked bootloader.

If it works with stock kernel... In some cases custom roms work with custom kernels only, so to not brick your device be sure this rom works with stock kernel.
EDIT: after you have locked bl how will you install stock kernel with recovery?
