Umm...no dude....with e-root u cud directly root it and even if we choose the downgrade option there are 2 ways downgrading to .42/.58 rom and root it or just downgrade to a rootable kernel, for e.g. .562 kernel and then root.
Cheers,

Thank you for the answer. But what is the best whey that you can suggest?
Can you suggest a good custom kernel, if I unlock bootloader?
And what is the best whey if I haw a locked bootloader?
What are benefits and downsides of unlocking bootloader?

DO this:
Flash a fresh .58 or .42 firmware using FlashTool
Root it using DooMlorDs Easy Rooting Kit version 4
Connect to a WiFi or a stable 3G and update via Update Center App on your phone
Done!
or you can try this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517222

pros of unlock bootloader:
you can install custom kernel.. and custom rom..can make your phone faster..
cons of unlock bootloader:
you will void your garrenty
Thank you for the answer.

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.

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.

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.

if u have made a backup of your phone before flashing custom kernel or rom than just simply do a restore via cwm...or if dont have any back up than dwnl the stock ics frimware and kernel and flash them using flashtools..
If u dont have any problem then just Relock bootloader . And use SUS for stock ...
Then unlock BT again ...

No he doesn't have to relock bootloader..coz he doesn't need SUS
Sorry for troubling you guys, i already done it, the reason i want to flash back .587 firmware is because i installed a rom which is based on .587 firmware but i installed that rom in .431 firmware and because of that there is some bugs. So, i want to flash back the stock .587 firmware and reinstall that rom again. but i appreciate it.

I could not do to much with my Experia U locked bootloader on GB
my phone is unlocked officialy from operator Bouygues !! if i update the phone any risk of losing the unlocking of sim ??
No, your phone will remain SIM unlocked. And if you prefer gingerbread, you can have it rooted for locked bootloader. You have it here in general section a thread explaining how to do it.

Yes, you can flash a St25a firmware (.ftf), but yes, you MUST exclude baseband flashing. You have plenty of ST25i firmwares around, so why bother with an st25a .ftf??
