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,

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.

Can't say much more about the ROM than what's already in the title, I grabbed it from i-don't-quite-remember-where (but not from warez type sites) since I couldn't update with PCC 'cause of unlocked bootloader. Checked it and it's the real deal, got it flashed and running on my Sola. FTF packaged neatly in a RAR.

EDIT:
Yes the rom came from Irontech so all credits and thanks go to him for publishing it (i only remembered it was him who released it on forum when rohit gave the link), but i think its place is here where it won't be lost in waves of threads like on general.

Check in the Update Centre, and if it is available, simply download and update your device. And no need to flash too!– I updated my phone this way today and it is completely safe. Hope that helps, mate

If I remember right you can't root manually yet. You have to flash a kernel with auto root etc.

Well, flash your phone to ICS and then root it. After rooting install CWM Recovery and then install a JB zip from the recovery. The whole procedure is given in Development section.

He is on JB and want a recovery which works in JB. So flash ICS then root then install CWM and then install JB ROM. So he will have both JB and recovery. I think he want this only else if I am wrong please correct me.

You mean if i was on JB i can install the CWM one? Will it work fine? You mean this right?

Since you are on locked bootloader, you need to:
1)root your device following the steps on Xperia p development section(doomlord toolkit)
2) install cwm using recoveryx on your pc!
