Every time I have been trying to root my phone using the Flashtool, it has been giving me this message which is preventing me from rooting (i guess)

Can You please give more details about the Firmware you are using. Also check if you see a small Android logo on top of Status-bar while your phone is connected via USB and Debugging is on..
Also try to re-install ADB Drivers..

I am using .54 & yes, I do see an Android logo on top of the Statusbar, I'll try re-installing the ADB Drivers later, do not have time now.
Edit: Re-installing the ADB Drivers did not work.

As much as I know you can't root xperia p. 54 via flashtool without flashing kernel .... There is a separate thread in development section regarding.root... Check that brother...
Without i meant the root option avialable in advanced menu..

You can root via Flashtool only by flashing an Old kernel then using Rootkit (in the link above) after its done. flash back new kernel..
I.e putting Your phone into flash mode then flash the kernels

I've tried doing that over the last 2 days too, flashing to .559 works but makes my phone slow as fk but it is usable.
The main problem I am having is with the Rootkit, I am getting adb errors etc, I will take a screenshot once I've done another attempt. Feel free to answer this if you do know how to fix it or just have something in mind, I'll be back in 2 hours.

install a fresh copy of .54
Dont start the phone then after finishing installation, install .599 kernel. boot now
there wont b any lag now, now try again with "rooting with Restore" after it finishes install the .54 kernel again..
if again it doesnt work There is probably Bad Drivers installation..

I did everything you said and found out the real issue, I had 2 adb's connected, well, one virtual (bluestacks) and since it was listed first on the adb devices, I had to uninstall it. It is true that there isn't lag after installing a fresh copy of the .54 & then flashing to .599. Thank you for helping.

I have a big problem. A month ago I received a mini pro Xperia, which is a testing version. She had problems with the software and have tried to do upgrade ROM. Official site SonyEricsson gave me information that the software is updated and there is no need for a new one. I decided to do the upgrade "[Firmware] [4.0.A.2.368] [Ray] [ST18] [URUSHI] Official Firmware + ROOT solution" at the direction and started FlashTool ROM 0.3.0.0 and above.
Nothing else I did (Im not unlocked the baseband ,if needed).
Now the phone is stuck at a black blank screen, so naw not know IMEI. Unable to turn it on.
Data from the phone are:
Android version:
2.3
No other information I have. This info I pick up before the upgrade, everything except the IMEI : /
any help?
soory for my bad Eng.
As I See it you flashed the wrong Firmware. The Firmware you flashed is for another device (xperia ray).
You should have flashed the one with "SK17i". Search for that thread.
Sadly I Don't Know how you can recover your phone. You will have to wait for a professionell.

Weird, try downloading the software file again, error doest seem to be "turn on debugging". Seems like it ends the flashing for some reason and then it prints the debug part, would show it after successful flash too. Try start flashing without phone connected n connect ur phone holding down the volume - key after flashtool tells u to.

The "unknown sources and debugging" message is shown after process is finished, no matter if sucessfull or not!
You photo clearly shows ERROR while flashing! So flash again until you flashed successful!
Also you can try to flash kernel via fastboot! s1boot should be still good! Also be SURE that you are flashing the RIGHT firmware! You always want to flash Ray firmware! Flash the SK17i Firmware!
Regards
Simply phone not go in flash mode (volume down button, green light) green light is lit 10s and then goes out. Is there another way to put it in flash mode. It seems that this problem!
Thank you all for help
Obviously this is the flashmode .... Your problems maybe the Computer, if the Computer does not speak to the phone inside the timeframe of 10s phone will leave it automatically.
So try to use other Computer.
Regards
First time I put (as I stated before) incorrect firmware "[Firmware] [4.0.A.2.368] [Ray] [ST18] [URUSHI] Official Firmware ROOT + solution" and now just wants to flesh the same firmware(ST18) so it will not SK17i . Simply , phone now recognized as the ST18. So it's not the computers, I have changed a 3-4 computers ... nothing.
In any case, thank you all for help
this should be fixable.
Try flashing the SK17i kernel via fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(where boot.img is the kernel file!)
also, flashing the phone with other tools (like Se Tool) should be a way to fix the phone.
If you cant get your phone back to life, i would love to have a go on it
Thanks man, I was able to "flashing the kernel via SK17i Fastboot" now tourn on the phone. Now show that the model is ST 18i with a different resolution displays !!!
Of course I try to remain ))))
ok, now after you have flashed the kernel, there should be no problem to manually flash the sk17i firmware!
have you tried it?
Flash the sk17i
"manually flash the sk17i firmware"
I tried not to go ://

I dont understand what you mean. You dont want to flash the new firmware (because you have to... SK18 firmware on SK17 isnt going to get you anywhere...).
Or you cant flash it?
Maybe I do not understand the best!! but this is SK17i-minipro2!? ST18 is ray !!!?. My mistake upgrade ST18 firmware (my firs post) and I want back on SK17i. because this is a mini pro2 (at least I think so , has querti keyboard) I got it as a prototype and model tag in the soft. no have marks that model.
Now I have software from ST18 and this is a problem because the display is 480 x 854 pixels.
Hope you can understand.
Soory for my bad Eng.
Tnx
yes i understand. xperia mini pro 2 (or actually just mini pro) is SK17i.

Do you downloaded flashtool? Then there should be a folder called drivers. Inside there is one setup (execute it) and three archives (unpack them). If he asks for drivers use the ones out of the unpacked archives. Try that

If you have the Apps/APKs that you want on your phone you can put them in the Flashtool too, they go in:

Even if phone shows up error triangle you should be able to use standart flash mode.
About fastboot dont know, never used it.

No problem, it could be done, but not so simply. I did rooting and xrecovery installation without Flashtool many times since Flashtool werent possible torun on Linux
Root could be done with exploit zergRush; but try SuperOneClick first. It will take some time root it completely manual.
Same with xrecovery, but its much more simple, pasting three or four files to root FS.
Try superoneclick first, if it wont help, will provide more step by step information.
EDIT:
Simpliest solution - almost forgotten
Download the zip provided underthis post.
Extract the zip file.
Connect your phone to computer (remember, that USB debugging must be on!!!)
Run file runme.bat (command line window will appear).
Enjoy !

RELAX first.
You will have to flash the stock SE firmware is by using the X10 Flashtool i .e. get your phone to stock and then root it again.

Hi chaps,
After trying a gingerbread rom and finding it too slow, I see most other roms require a custom kernel for best performance (and being able to use most other roms!)
Anyway, I'm running through the tutorials in the stickied Guide in this forum and during the unlocking the bootloader instructions it keeps telling me to switch my phone off.
Now it doesn't mention having the phone plugged into the PC at any point in that section but I assume you have to for the SE Tweaker tool to work .
My problem is that in the first couple of steps I'm told to turn my phone off yet as it's connected to the PC, it keeps switching back on to charge ie. it's not staying off.
So naturally me being afraid of bricking my phone and it being a first time for me, I haven't progressed past this part. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Turn your phone off and leave it disconnected from your PC
When the unlock procedure asks you to plug in your phone, press the back-button while you connect the usb-cable to your phone.
This way you enter flash-mode, which is what the tools require.

I can't seem to enter flash mode :/
I hold the back button and connect the phone to the pc. Initially it installed some flash driver onto the pc and then booted up as normal.
Now it just boots up as normal no matter how long I hold the back button (throughout the whole process so far)
Does having xrecovery have anything to do with this?

Hi,
i don't know if this comes under this section also,
i lost the post that i was using to update my x10 mini pro from 2.1 to 2.3 after my pc freezed and restarted.
So my SE finished the update but it's stuck on the Sony Ericsson text on boot up in faint brightness.
I used flshtool 0.9.0.0
rooted the phone and installed busy box.
restarted the phone with the blue screen menu a selected the NAa kernel from SD to load.
After that rebooted the phone then sony ericsson text came very bright then it starts to faint to minimum and nothing else happens.
If i connect flashtool i will get the following:

i even tried SEUS but nothing happens it would ask to reboot in flashmode and the device will enter flashmode and nothing happens.
also tried to restart with the blue screen menu by pressing power and the back button multiple times and back with volume + and - nothing occurs.
I downloaded ver 0.9.1.0
and tried the force root and here is the log:
Any solution ?

You have to flash the kernel from flashtool:
Put the kernel zipfile in the /firmwares folder where you installed flashtool
Choose the flash-button
Choose the kernel
Connect your phone in flashmode and it will be done (if your bootloader is unlocked)
You can not install a kernel from the sd-card using the CWM (blue screen) menu
The reason your phone doesn't boot up is because your ROM and Stock kernel are not compatible
If you're succesful in flashing the kernel, you should be fine.
There is no need to root your phone before you flash the kernel, and the ROM is pre-rooted.
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done

In your original post you said you tried to install the kernel from sd-card using the CWM menu, which is impossible
I suppose you have to unlock the bootloader first, in flashtool it's under the plugins-section.
But you first have to make sure it is safe or you can brick your device doing that
Go find the post where you got the kernel from, it will have a link to the bootloader unlock tutorial.
Use that to get instructions on how to know if your device is safe to unlock.
Then use the bootloader-unlock in flashtool's plugin-menu to unlock the bootloader.
Then flash the kernel.
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done
Yes i did the root and unlocked the bootloader.
and loaded the kernel from SD card using CWM menu.
It was asking to load the kernel from SD card,
i wish i could boot with CWM to give you the exact steps.
The device was i guess able to work but i read somewhere in forum to try rooting again using force psneuter
and that was when things changed on the device cause i used to see in Clean Root icon in flashtool lot of apps and commands in red now only ls: in red is there!!

You can NOT flash the kernel from the sd-card
Only from your PC, and your phone does not need to be rooted for that, you only need an unlocked bootloader.
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done
Ok I understood that part.
My question is how to fix my device if possible, i made a mistake somewhere there and don't recall cause i gave up after i looded the rom i think from SD card.
it's over 2 weeks and now i have some free time to try to fix it with the hope of getting someone here on in the forum to help me out.
Thanks

hmm, weird, normally the only problem there is that SEUS says there's no firmware available Keep pressing the back-button till it actually starts flashing.

I only tested this method with the original ST25i Firmware 6.1.1.B.1.10, it should however work with all ICS/JB roms due to its roots...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
1. Switch USB-Debugging on:
2. Install Flashtool on your pc (you can download installer from here: http://androxyde.github.com/)
3. Install drivers for flashtool:
3. Connect your device to the PC
4. Start flashtool, press the root button, select superuser and press OK:
5. When prompted click the restore button on your phone, be sure you select the 'RootME' recovery!
6. Let the device reboot 3 times
7. The log in flashtool should look like this:
8. And of course the proof:

Be sure you select the 'RootME' recovery.
Because, if you already back-upped your phone, the 'RootMe' recovery isn't the default selection anymore.
GJ, I leaved the facebook Xu group... so many noob questions.....I hope this note will help them

I do actually think so, though you can unroot it and I think in case of you want to demand guarantee for some reasons like it just does not start anymore or something they do/can not check if the device is rooted...
Will this work on GB ? And if not then how to root GB ? O

The method flashtool uses when connected to a ICS Xperia U works. I don't know which method flashtool would choose if you try it on a GB Xperia U, so I don't know if the chosen method can work.
Since official ICS is out I would not bother rooting GB but upgrade to ICS and root afterwards.

My wifi is not working with ICS so im "forced" to be on GB untill or if we get JB
Funny, I never thought ICS could be the reason for such problems... Do you think ICS is the problem or the Sony ICS variant? Maybe a custom-ICS would help your Problem?

Did you flash the correct firmware?
If you flash st25a on an st25i, or the other way around you have to tick the "exclude baseband" option in flashtool or you may get errors.

Help!!
Major problem is that when i flashed my phone about few weeks ago i had no problems and as soon as i try to root it (yesterday) i have the problem of on the first boot all the images are so dark so you cannot read or use it and the debugging is off and the xperia home kept crashing so i re flashed it with the st25i thinking that it could be that i am using an st25a rom but still it has a black screen and i have tried everything and the only solution is to re flash it. BTW i have tried the root now 4 times and still the screen is black with the words so dark it is hard to read. the music icons have been cut in half and the bottom part of the image stuck to the top.

only if your defect is software related you will lose wareanty, and you can always flash back to clean stock rom without root

I had the same problem when I tried the original version of this "hack". But when using the flashtool variant it boots more often and the screen gets normal again. I think this problem occurs between the first and second boot and somewhat in the second boots fixes it.

Seems like you waited 60 seconds and the software force stopped it like you can see here: "Waiting for device. After 60secs, stop waiting will be forced", you have to look out for the recovery prompt on the phone! Sometimes however it does not prompt the recovery app and you have to try again, happened to me once...

Hi guys,
I had the same experience with 1st rooting - only grey main screen and nothing works. I reflashed ICS once more and tried to root it once more and everything was ok. It wants appr. 3 reboots after rooting
noob alert..!!(though im really not a noob, but just a dumb question coz of something that the phone asked me..)
the second screenshot on the 5th step "in english" reads: "the existing data in your phone memory will be replaced by the contents of your backup record"
does this mean my phone(or atleast the phone memory) will be wiped clean after this action??

I have to admit, my ICS was kind of fresh when I rooted it... but I guess since you are not restoring some real backup but the RootMe you should not lose any data.. But save precious data just in case!
