So i have spent 4 days page to page wondering how to root my android phone
xperia mini pro sk17i
so far, i gathered info that the best and efficient rooting technique is DoomLord's Rooting Toolkit..3 cheers to doomlord!
unfortunately for me it wont work coz i updated my firmware to .62..now i know i have to flash a previous FW to either .58 or .42 in order to use DoomLord's kit
I searched for flashing techniques as well, but i couldn't find the procedure to flash or rather the ones which i came across didn't work for all
Could any1 be kind nuf as to help out a noobie such as me and others who have the same problem as me!!

flashing is really simple and it took me just 15 minutes a few hours ago to flash .58 fw.
so here it goes.
first, you need to download .58 fw here http://depositfiles.com/files/1inil87p7
then download flashtool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
after you downloaded both of that, install the flashtool to your computer. then put the .58 fw that you just downloaded to c:/program files/flashtool/firmwares
means that i recommend to save flashtool on c:/program files.
after you have done that. backup all needed things such as maybe your messages, contacts or maybe apk files using super backup for both messages and contacts and titanium for backing up apk.
after you done that, open flashtool, connect your devices to the computer using usb cable, then flashtool will automatically recognises your phone it will say 'connected devices: SK17'.
then click on the flash thunder icon and choose flashmod, then you will see the .58 fw that you just downloaded earlier. then i recommend you to leave wipe data and cache checked or maybe up to you. because last time i unchecked wipe data and cache i cant root my phone after so thats why i ask u to backup things. and press ok. wait like 1 minute then it will ask you to unplug usb cable, switch off your phone. while your phone switched off, hold down the volume button, plug in devices using usb cable to your computer and power on your device, then you will see flashtool will start flashing.
after flashing is done, unplug the usb cable and switch on your phone then BOOM! you are now on .58 fw. then just simply root it using doomlord zergrush method and thats it.
if you a little bit confuse just follow these steps

You can use flashtool: http://androxyde.github.com/ (PM me if you can't download).
I would suggest you to jump on FreeXperia mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226715 as it is way better than stock, and it makes your phone rooted. Hovewer, you need unlock your bootloader.
Thnx a ton for rplying both of you!
another question would it harm my device in any way if i unlock bootloader...also what do i benefit by unlocking it!!
Thanx in advance!

i havent unlocked my bootloader so i cant help with you that
goodluck!
oh, benefits of unlocking bootloader is that you can use custom roms and custom kernels, you can even flash custom kernel that can root .62 im not sure check it out somewhere on android development section.
and afaik, if you unlock bootloader you will not get any official updates from se such as in the future the ice cream sandwich updates but im not completely sure

You can always relock your bootloader and update but you can't get back DRM rights...which is not a big issue...so what if track id don't work, there are better similar apps like soundhound.Also there is a method which unlocks bootloader without losing DRM but never test it

1. Unlocking bootloader will stop you from updating through SE official method. But i'm sure you can always flash the firmware using flashtool when the update is available
2. Unlocking bootloader DOES NOT do any harm as far as i'm concern(but void the warranty! If i'm not mistaken). The only way you can damage it is by using third party software/firmware.. Let say you unlock the bootloader > use custom kernel > overclock it like crazy till it melts.
I'm one of the guy with unlocked bootloader..

Yes. Hold down the volume down button keys for mini pro.
You need to do this after you selected your chosen firmware to flash and click ok.
Then you will see a pop up telling you to unplug the USB cable, switch off phone.
Then hold down the volume down, while doing that, plug in your USB cable to your computer and switch on your phone. Don't let go of holding the volume down button yet!
Wait till you see on the flashtool start flashing then it's ok to release the volume down button and that's where the magic started.
No you don't need to unmount your sd card, it will not remove/ delete anything from your sd card except applications or games that are saved on your sd card which is not a big deal you can download it again later or make a backup of its apk.
Hope I help ya

Just to be sure, as I didn't understand last part of your post. After you did update with pc companion, you also did repair software with pc companion? Meaning, nothing left over from your old apps and stuff from data partition?

do you think flashing new rom would help to solve this problem? any ideas?
Hm, after you did update/repair, which android version you have now? GB or ICS?
and another q, so you can turn on your wifi, right? when it searches for new networks, does it find any?

Hm, no IP is normal since you aren't connected, but no MAC is kinda worrying.
Only one last advice is to flash GB rom, clean stock. Some people are having WiFi problems, although not like you, but I don't have any more ideas.
If that doesn't help then I believe it's hardware fault .
If you never flashed some other rom with flashtool, meaning you still have you original firmware on your phone, you can write down CDF number so you can go back to original fw before sending it for warranty(if you have any) repair.
how to get to that number read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604559
After you do that, flash .ftf file with flashtool.
You can use MT11i 4.0.2.A.0.62 GB CUSTOMIZED-NCB-Nordic WORLD-I 1255-1755 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24983670&postcount=246

Well, I don't think it will help, I can only hope
But to be honest I don't have to much faith in fix. People had problems on ICS with WiFi, but they could find networks only not be able to connect on them.
Strange in your case is that it doesn't even find any network.
anw, if you have warranty, take it to SE repair center, if you have any in your place.

Well, depends on how you unlocked it. You can relock it in both cases. But if you unlocked it officially from sony dev page there is possibility they will notice that DRM certificates are gone.
How to relock it, check in Neo V dev section, sticky thread.

No need for root, just to flash .ftf file with flashtool.
I don't know if its software or hardware, I can't be sure without testing. People had strangest problems which on first look looks like hardware problem, but after flash its fixed.

Someone can flash it one time, and have problem.
If you catch my point.
Anw if you go into this game, store your CDF number, I gave you link in post above, how to.

So I just got the phone today and decided to upgrade to ics, that was a big mistake. The phone won't turn on . When I plug it into the computer it has the green charging led but when I plug it into the charger nothing just a dark green led that will blink every 10 seconds or so. don't care if I have to downgrade I just want it to work. Also when it's not plugged in it does the same dark green blink and when I try turning it on nothing no vibration or anything.
Use flashtool to unbrick your device.

Weird, maybe you flashed it wrong. Anyways, go back to GB and then flash again to ICS if you'd like to, you shouldn't get any troubles downgrading.

One won't lose the warranty if he/she fails in an official upgrade, send it to the dealer for repair before trying oneself with Flashtool, which may alter the build.prop, and else. Right?
By the way, my Xperia Mini Pro fails to change the input method by long pressing the text input area with.431 ics ROM, any hints? Thanks.

If you have never rooted and bootloader is locked (and I think it is), please send it to service or give it to the shop where you've bought it. This is better, and because it was an official update, you should be able to claim your warranty.
If you try to do it yourself with flashtool, you will modify your phone and if they find out, your warranty is lost. So please don't flash it, give it to service
hey guys i need help. i bricked my phone while re-locking boot loader. what i did is i restored the boot loader while having custom kernel. i later realized that it should be done while having stock kernel.

you get that with an attempt to update, not with a repair...
update with your phone DIS-connected from your pc...
it can't update and give you a repair option...
follow instructions from there...

Updating wasn't necessary It was already the complete 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware from Sony (Kernel + Rom)
But glad it worked for you

Hi, people.
I have a bit of a problem. I can't enter cwm while starting the phone(LWW). I'm pushing the volume down key constantly when blue led turns on. I can enter cwm from xparts and cwm reboot option from nofication bar. The worst part is that it worked before. Please help. I want to put puremiui, but I don't won't to do it before I fix this, because I'm scared if I do something wrong and I want to run the backup stock rom I couldn't. Sorry for my English I'm from Croatia.
Re: CWM recovery problem
When I use xparts I got this problem too. Every I wipe cache/dalvik, cwm is gone. But now after unlocked my phone I didnt use this

Just try pressing vol up or power button or try vol up+down alternatively and see if it works...Just backup all ur apps and data using tb and try flashing stock rom again and then install CWM again if possible and see if it works or u can simply unlock ur bl and install custom kernels which will definitely work
Best Regards,
AJ

It would be great if I unlock bl, but there's no free way to do that and I feel that I don't need it right now. If there won't be any suggestions that would solve the problem I think it's time to say goodbye to my money and unlock bl.

Nope bl can be unlocked for free if you do not have a simlock :good: Just go to dialer and type *#*#7378423#*#* and go to service info->Configuration and see what is written below rooting status?

Try pressing vol up/down, power button and touch the sony logo simultaneously. Even I had this problem half an hour ago on my Xperia S and fixed it by doing the above.
