Unlock and then flash a custom kernel and you would get root plus recovery

hello everyone..
I have new xperia mini pro and just updated it to ICS 4.0.4 officially.
nothing is done in my phone like flashing or rooting.
whenever i try to customize it using mods it shows flash via CWM.
and with best of my knowledge CWM requires rooting and flashing.
is there any way i can flash zip files without rooting my phone.
or if have to root it please tell me the best way to do it as i think rooting with 4.0.4 is nt possible.
tankyou.

for xperia mini(st15i) there is a temp CWM recovery that you can flash with flashtool(require unlocking bootloader) and you can flash mods and when you reboot the device CWM is gone.
search temp boot for xperia mini pro.if you find maybe usefull for you.
if you find temp boot for your device you can root your device with CWM.
Rooting is the gate to modding pal. . .
You need to do it. . .
Also bootloader should be unlocked as if u wanna install custom rom some of them are only for unlocked bootloaders. . .
Rest use search button
Happy modding

To use CWM you dont need to root your phone but you need to unlock the bootloader and flash a new kernel. This WILL void your warranty but if done correctly it opens a whole world of mods in android. Sony provides an official method of doig the same in their blog(jut google) but using that method makes you loose your drm. I did come across another method(on this forum) which claimed that you could do the same without loosing the drm but I havent tried it out.
You can without unlocking...

Hello.
To use CWM without unlocking your bootloader, I did the following :
Start with an xperia mini pro with official ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431)
First, I rooted my xperia following the topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701357
Then I used RecoverX to install CWM without unlocking the bootloader : http://www.iphoneandroidtips.org/how-to/recoverx-to-install-recovery-for-sony-xperia-phones/
Then you restart your Mini Pro when Sony appears, keep on taping on Volume down button to enter CWM menu :cyclops:
Then I could install custom ROMs CyanogenTimescape, RealICS, AOKP (Roms that allow locked bootloaders)
I hope that can help you.

Sir i read it thoroughly.. but was unable to root.
wen i was trying 2b. I downloaded Xperia-ROOT.rev4.zip and executed 01-local-prop.cmd it said rooted device not found.
was there something i missed???
Thanks.
You need to have root already, before updating to ICS.
You need rooted Gingerbread in order to root ICS. Make sure ADB drivers are installed.

1) nAa doesn't have a 2011 xperia.
2) this belongs in a Q and A secton, not development
3) this is the 2010 mini section.
4) there will already be methods for your device.
5) nAa isn't obliged to do anything, he does it because he wants to.

Are you saying you want root access and recovery on your phone?
If so unlock the bootloader -
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Then you can fastboot an auto rooting kernel from the site like advanced stock kernel. Job done (there are guides for this in the stickies at the top of the forum)

First of all post in question and answer forum..
Second if you want to flash a pre rooted image then you have to unlock your bootloader, and you can find the pre rooted ics image in Android dev section..
If you want root and recovery without unlocking then go to the link in my signature..

hello all i would like to know the safest way i could root a sony xperia p and install clock mod recovery and also what roms are present for it
Use backup/restore root, flash CWM through fastboot and you'll find the roms here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1729
Sorry, but you could do a bit of searching.

Search for cwm 1.0 for locked bootloaders my friend..There is no need to use custom rom only..
Just use the root with binary restore,
