If you dont mind to unlock your bootloader, then that will be your first step.
Then, flash custom kernel.
After that, if you want to use hybrom, you will need .62 first afaik.
Just make sure you do it all with caution or else, what is messed will be "upgraded" to become a disaster for your device.

like thiss
Op said want to install hybrom later. If he/she just flash the stock, he/she just will soft brick the device again and again and again. The other newcomers might follow it also and the numbers of people who soft bricked their device will just keep incresing as of now. They NEED to know they MUST unlock their bootloader and install custom kernel that have cwm in order to flash custom ROM.
Just my 2 cents..

I just want to enlighten the op since the op already flash hybrom v11, flashing custom kernel and do wipe all in cwm already bring the device again. Hybrom just doesnt compatible with stock kernel. But, if you guys lead him to the long way, once the op flash hybrom v11 again from stock ROM/kernel, then it will be bricked again and the circle wont stop and he/she might think that was hybrom faults but the fact is, unlock your bootloader to flash custom kernel before you can use custom ROM, it is just that simple.
If op doesnt have any plan to use custom ROM,reluctant to unlock bootloader, flash back stock by any methods prefered as stated you and metalrawk should be enough. Correct me if im wrong, it is not that hard. If dont like my post, you are welcome to put me in your "ignore list".. It is free to do so..
Edit: and i dont even quote any posts by you or other posters, it is not an argument, just an explanation.

And my post just not targetting the op alone. There are more and more people that are new to flashing now posting at hybrom thread and in this section as well complaining they are stuck at s.e logo, i believe you can see that trend, ive explained it as well in my post above. no hard feeling taken at my side.
I seldom go to any "general" section but that trend of posting in other section quite annoying to be honest.. The op might know (we all can see from his/her post) but the other newcomers might read it and impatiently assume the whole story incorrectly, thats my concerns.
If my post is wrong, then its my bad and apologies from me. Other than that, i believe we agree the story ends here.

its written on every ROM download page that installing rom needs unlocked BL, this is newcomers or users fault that they don't read it and dont pay attention to what developers say. if you wanted noobs to know that point. you could have just added a post - ' unlock BL before installing a custom rom ' without quoting our posts. that it

you said in you 2nd post that if we gauys lead him in wrong way he will flash hybrom again. we are not leading him in wrong way. we are assuming he knows that he should unlock BL before flashing hybrom. even op said that. noobs can also get to know why did that happen because he stated that installing hybrom without unlocking BL was a wrong decision. if you still think we are leading him in wrong direction, just post your thoughts on what op should do.

Bootloop in St15i
I upadated my Sony Xperia Mini St15i to ICS 4.0.4 with Sony PC companion (Frimware: 4.1.B.0.587). Till then everything was fine.
Then I rooted my phone by following this
Main > Sony Xperia™ support forum > Android development > Discussions
{Guide} How To Root Xperia™ Smartphone Running ICS ( Ice Cream Sandwich) or GB ( Gingerbread )
Still everything was fine.
I installed Titanium Backup and removed few bloatwares, following this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773024
Installed Xparts from google play for CWM recovery then took backup.
Suddenly after 2 days my phone went in loop mode. Now I'm not able to solve this issue.
Use of flashtool to flash stockrom
A full wipe data/cache/dalvik..
Also tried format system/data/cache, then flashing rom (CM 9.1.0; CM 9.0.0; CM 7.2.0), no use.

I've just upgraded my Xperia Mini to ICS, and also rooted it, thanks to this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514
And it worked, but now I realized that all of the phone menus are becoming slow. Apps work perfectly and normally, but some phone menus (out of the apps) aren't as smooth as they should. Also, the games I recovered using Titanium Backup work slow either, some of them don't even work...
So I wondered, why is that? what should I do now or what did I do wrong? Help will be really appreciated, thanks
well ics is a little slower than gb and also gb is much better than ics in playing games and performance

umm fine, actually I didn't know that...
But the weird thing is that, before trying to root ICS, I installed normally (without root) just to see what it was, and then it worked properly, I mean, fluid and smooth in every aspect. It became slow and even laggy after I rooted it. So I don't understand exactly what happened.

How could it be? Losing the root? I didn't Lose my Root when doing Factory Reset?
Did you Use the Script Inject Method? You can Factory Reset your Phone after you Inject Script 2

Why not unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel based on stock, that has cwm and prerooted already in kernel. then you can factory reset as much as you like and wont lose root. And you probably lost root because you factory reset and that would delete superuser.apk so all you had to do was redownload that from the market and you would have root again. But anyway think about unlocking your bootloader but read up about it first.

I don't know, maybe root wasn't correctly installed. I re-flashed my phone and now it isn't slow at all. Actually all I know is that it now works as it should :d

Believe me... I would LOVE to unlock my bootloader, but my phone's bootloader status says "no". And as far as I know, that means that I have to pay to unlock it, or am I wrong? It's just that right now I can't pay for that.

But still I can install some custom roms as long as they don't require to flash kernel, right? I don't know too much about that but I got specially interested in Real ICS...

1. kill you brother
2. you can't root the official 2.3.6 - the exploits in it have been patched up, you need to flash the unsecure kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414565 then you would be able to either flash a new rom or root the one you have
I thing you can't root stock int 2.3.6
..you need to flash custom kernel to root it.At least there was no way when I bought it.

I think I lost my root after flashing a rom.
I went from Stock ICS to DeleciousSandwich rom on my
Sony Live With Walkman Phone (with rooted, cwm installed & locked bootloader)
and everything works just fine with the exception that my root apps are not working. They report an error saying root access not working
What should I do?

wrong section...
you dont lose root when flashing a "normal" rom, they already come rooted. you did something wrong!
wrong section. should be in q&a
First this is a wrong section. This thread should start on questions and answer sub forum.
Is it jelly Bean ROM? If so, install SuperSU app.

Roms come usually prerooted, you may just loose CWM after flashing one, use as others told you supersu from playstore to grant root access ( it worked for me on several apps needing root not working on my device with sony's stock ics rom with locked bootloader)
Ok, I'm a complete noob when it comes to the Xperia. However I just recently had the same issue with my SGS2 T989. I went from Slim Bean to Galaxy SBean UNICEF. When I booted back up I lost root. After a long time of searching I just decided to reroot. I went with the ODIN method with openrecovery twrp. It worked nicely and I've gained all root access back.
