Is USB Debugging on, on the phone?
You're not running the executable on the computer with admin rights, right?

I tried to root when in version 1.4.0 then downgraded back to 1.4.0 when the OTA hit and tried once more only to get the same error. Tried to cmod the entire system folder from both an adb shell and android terminal. any ideas guy?
Do you have USB Debugging enabled (in both boxes)?
Yea, its shows my device in the beginning of the script. =\
I think you need to run the runmefirst. bat then apply the other .bat to root
Sent from my LG GT540 Swift using XDA App
Did the runmefirst.bat.

Hi,

Any ideas?
USB Debugging turned on? Unknown sources allowed? ADB drivers properly installed?
usb debugging was on, unknown sources allowed and I could adb shell... so I guess no problem there either.
For now I recovered the cwm backup I did before I tried going back to 'new'. 58 (to root and update to. 62)
I'll probably start trying again tomorrow.
Just to be clear I now reverted to a rooted .58
But I would like to be able to start over with. 58 (been messing around to much ), root it and update to. 62 (hoping to keep root).
I do have cwm installed, but no unlocked bootloader
All tips are welcome
Thanks
I tried to use a .58 firmware file and flashtool yesterday, but got problems with drivers.
Where can I get the correct driver for sk17i?
TIA
I got one step further using flashtool on my work pc, it rooted, but when trying to update ota, it gives 'could not install new software'...
It worked
Just to keep you guys updated, I downloaded the .58 ftf from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529049 and installed it using flashtool...
I hate that moment when flashtool says 'Please wait. Phone will reboot' ... and it didn't, but just disconnecting it and pressing the power button worked fine
Next I used flashtool to force zergRush exploit: Got stuck at Waiting for device...
Then i rebooted manually with volume down button pressed as is sugested in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557924 while 'waiting for device.... this didn't work, I must have misunderstood the post.
After the reboot with volume down and failing to complete the root I tried it again and it worked, just to be sure I went to adb shell and tried su... it worked.
Time for a backup with cwm
Which got apparently uninstalled when using flashtool to go to .58 ... that's a lesson learned and probably logical,so I reinstalled it from the market ...
Strangely cwm installer had a force closed, but it didn't seem to affect anything.
Now for OTA update to .62 ... Done
Root still there? Yes
time for another CWM backup...
And I can go about messing with it again, freezing/uninstalling apps...
Thanks for the help

Phone is restarted again to flashmode
That's why you have to disconnect and power up.

Phone has to be turned on in order to root
Just turn it on, make sure USB debugging and Unknown Sources are allowed and leave it on home screen for example.

EDIT:: I just noticed, that I need another firmware version. I'm on 4.1.B.0.431, but that was the only one I was able to download. I've got a locked bootloader, so is there a method to root xperia mini pro on ics 4.0.4 with locked bootloader?

That doesn't work for ICS 4.0.4 for XMP/LWW
Here's what works:
[ROOT+BB+CWM] ICS and non rootable GB build
Oh no, I can't use this method, because I didn't update to ics. I flashed .ftf, so there's no way?

If you checked that thread, the requirement is any rooted GB firmware below .62.
If you searched in Xperia Mini & Mini Pro & Active General before rooting your phone, you would find this: [Tutorial]Root.Xperia 4.0.4 ROM | 4.1.B.0.431<< It's is based on this method
Yes 2 minutes before I read your post I started the 2. method I think it'll work!
Today i saw Bin4ry's root method for ICS and JB devices, so i thought i give it a try.
Since i cant yet post on dev threads, i started this thread so people try it themselves, and maybe post findings here and on Bin4ry's original thread.
All i got was
Code:

At this point, first run i said yes, and batch just closed.
Second run, i said no, so the rest came up. Phone rebooted twice, never asked me to press anything, and no root.

I think that method just works on some models.
Try this method: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119. Works for me
By the way: I have ICS 4.1.B.0.587 firmware
I know about this method, but i don't wanna flash roms etc.
(.587 on mini pro? if yes info!)

.587 isn't released yet for mini pro, you will have to wait. Not sure if/when we will get it!
You will have to downgrad the your firmware if you want to root ics or a gingerbread firmware like 4.0.2.A.0.62 or.69. Check out my signature, see your firmware version and decide if you want to root, if yes follow the steps
Bin4ry's himself said that it doesn't work for se xperias.
the suggested way to root from above works. I used the unlocked bootloader to directly flash cm.
