follow the guide from sony, it looks to me like it comes with a prerooted kernel (if it works for you can you let me know if that's the case, thanks).
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0
The fact is presently i have updated to Official ICS for LWW i,e .587 but for rooting it requires kernel 4.1.A.0.562 ... the kernel provided for LWW in that sony forum is ST18i_41A0562 , which means it ray's kernel.
Although i have tried it , but phone doesnt boot there after. Its just vibrates and nothing else hapens ( may be this s wt soft brick )
So i need a kernel for wt19i specificaly so that i cn root my friends phone.. he dnt like the official lag

Hit the link on that sony page for the LWW kernel, it will take you to a page for st18i and on the right hand side of the page are the other kernels, I am not sure if they are the ones you are looking for, but there are a couple of lww kernels there.
hey guys i am repeating i have tried the st18i kernel from the sony link, also lt18i as well. but the phone dnt boot after kernel flash... so i am in search of wt19i official 562 kernel ...
I have tried more than 4-5 times . but the kernels from above link dnt work at all.

This one may be prerooted, I am not sure though: http://www.4shared.com/file/bWVyFhcE/WT19_41B0587_Kernel.html
Just flash a working ftf for your device, which will install the stock kernel too.
When you flash ray kernel the phone is not working near it's room is not for LwW. But rooting method is working just fine. So flash main 587 ftf then flash 562 kernel from ray, then turn the phone. As on the thread ad Sony says "your phone might not boot properly". Then proceed worth root on PC. When you finish rooting, pull out battery and then insert it and flash 587 kernel for LwW. Then your phone should boot normally as rooted
If you find this difficult, search Der 431 root, it's the same for 587 too

@kir3 does the root method work even when the phone doesn't boot ? I cnt even reach the SONY logo, the screen is purely black .. just a vibration den nothing else...???
@justmpm the above kernel is not pre-rooted...
Ok got it friends ,,, thanks ... the devices dnt boot up on ray kernel but still can root it... now flashed LWW587 kernel and its rooted...

btw, there was no need to mess so much, simply flashing GB kernel would fix problem.
He used ICS kernel on GB fw.

So... err.. you flashed an ST17 ROM on your SK17i?
...and now the touch is dead?
Well, have a look see on the thread below. We have a long standing discussion on the matter and some probable fixes you can try.. Good luck mate~
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713449
I have the same problem. I never installed ROMs on my sk17i and the touchscreen just stoped working.
I already tried to restore by PCC or flashtool, but nope.
I've read that thread, but aren't the solutions for ST15i? And don't i need to have root to try those solutions?
yes it is for st15 / walkman , and root u can get if u install costum kernel but the problem it is not this , it is we can to make the touch to work or we trow the phone ...
i try last night : install x kernel + rom for active the touch worked 40% , then install via flashtool the stock for active the same , then when i go back to my stock for sk17i the touch is dead...
nobody here have a solution ?
update

If you never flashed any rom, then it's most likely hardware mate. Sending for repairs is your only fix.

If I may not be too late, I also got this problem (flashed lww kernel and ROM on xmp).
Touchscreen and home buttons stopped working, even in recovery.
I flashed paranoid android kernel (the ROM I used before this happened),
Factory reset, format system and dalvik cache in recovery.
Let the phone boot with no system.
Wait....nothing will happen. Then take off the battery and insert again.
The phone is back to normal.

First you flash latest stock rom (.62) via flash tool.
If it is not working then
first flash x kernel via flashboot mode in flash tool
install ROM (hybrom v10) via CWM.
After that install ROM (hybrom v12) via CWM without wiping any data, cache partition and dalvik cache.
hope it will help you to solve this touchscreen problem.
@jk347.. can u upload the hybrom v10 since hybrom now is closed
@someguy.. im using realics v4 for xperia mini pro (mango)
guys can you upload via flash the touch screen drivers? if possible?

EDIT: could you please upload stock rom .62? coz mine is .42 is it ok to flash even if not .62?
I encountered error when flashing .62 --> never got success. But nothing problem when flashing .42. :beer:
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
when I flashing hybrom v17 in .42 gets stuck in sony logo.. can u upload guys the stock rom of .62 ftf files?
Hybrom requires unlocked bootloader and custom kernel to run.
For stock firmware files, check my signature link.
@someguy.. yes i already unlocked bootloader .. and use xkernel for the hybromv17.. since I used .42 when i flash xkernel and install custom kernel gets stock at logo.. but when I used .62 it works..now i dont see any .62 ftf here for mini pro ..

Hi all!
(Well, I have to start with that I'm hungarian so sorry for my english.)
I dont know if anyone has already mentioned this problem in other threads but i didnt find any. So my problem is that I rooted my phone with changing kernel (neoV 4.0.3) after that rooting and after rooting upgrading the latest mini pro kernel in my phone (4.1.B.0.587).
There was no problem i have managed to root my phone. After that i downloaded the cwm auto installer app from play and installed cwm. After that i installed two apps with cwm, exactly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705352&highlight=root
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695048
After these steps i realised that my girlfriend wanted to call me but it was a missed call so i tried to call her back. And HERE IS THE PROBLEM: when i touch on the button with the green phone icon before starting to call anyone my phone collapsed and reboots itself.
Well i dont know if the problem comes from the root (maybe i did something wrong but got good result) or from the 2 apps installed with cwm and there i made some mistakes :/ well i dont know i think i did everything well but as i said i really dont know what the problem is.
Please help me!! Thank you in advance
Post the links of those two apps properly... Unable to click them directly
And as you said your phone is NEO V or Mini Pro
then why did you upload the "neo v" "latest mini pro kernel" :what::sly::banghead:
Specify your phone and kernel properly or upload a screenshot
And if you have you have installed mini pro kernel in neo V or vice versa
Then flash stock firmware via flashtool

I have mini pro(sk17i), but as you know mini pros dont have 4.0.3 kernel and rom cause the first ics was the 4.0.4 so i just chose a random 4.0.3 kernel (neov) and rooted that one and after the root i put the original sk17i kernel 4.1.B.0.587 back. and after that i got root permissions in my 4.0.4 ics phone with its official latest kernel. Thats all. I just followed the steps to root. and now you can see the apps' urls

I think you installed an inappropriate kernel for your device...
Download the stock firmware for your device... Flash it via Flashtool
Then again unlock your bootloader
And this time install any supported kernel like Kamarush v3 or Kernel Panic... I mean any prerooted kernel... And after you get root access just switch to latest firmware... And .587 is whole new stock firmware Not kernel...

Well, I managed to root my phone and now i can call anyone without reboot but i havent installed those 2 apps yet. im afraid of having this problem because of those apps :/
but i also havent tried to install that app which you Predator offered me :/ im afraid of having another problem :/ and i also dont know if my phone (sk17i) is capable of running walkman player app or such as walkman player :/ pls correct me if im right or not
Hmmmmm.....
1.flash stock firmware into your XMP...
2.unlock the bootloader...
3.flash any custom kernel that have pre-rooted and CWM....
4.problem solved....
Btw, correct me if i'm wrong but isn't flashing other kernel (neo v in your case) is proof that your phone bootloader is already unlock????
My bootloader is not unlocked because im having a vodafone phone so not an unlocked phone :/ And i heard that unlocking a locked phone is very difficult and dangerous :/ ....
