[SOLVED] Re-root Xperia Mini pro sk17i after OTA - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hello everybody
I'll try to explain my problem with my bad english :
When I bought my xperia mini pro, I immediately unlocked it, rooted it and installed cyanogenmod 9. After many month of utilisation, I began changing ROM to test others. I obviously saved my system with rom manager to reinstall cyanogenmod if I had problems with the ROMs I tested. As no ROMs convinced me, I returned to cyanogen but it was quite bugging (maybe I didn't do well when flashing kernel and wiping).
My problem is: Yesterday I found Hasa MIUI 3.1.25 and it said that it need stock kernel to run. But I tried with the cyanogenmod kernel and I didn't want to start. So i found the ftf of ICS 4.1.B.0.587, I connected my phone in fastmode and used flashtool to flash the ftf. After that i thought i could install Hasa MIUI's ROM but what I didn't know, is that flashing a stock kernel will be considerated as doing an OTA ! So know MY PHONE HAS LOST HIS ROOT. I tried to reroot it with DooMLoRD"s tool and one other's sony tool (Wit a big button ROOT I don't remember the name) but when I run rom manager it's still says that my phone has to be rooted and that he can't access some files like system/su ...
So my question is : I lost my root after an OTA, how do I recorver it please ?
Thanks so much for those who'll answer me !

try e-root program , or unlock-root
or try the manual method & root a lower kernel

Or u could just flash a custom kernel like lupus etc, that would make it rooted (to my knowledge)

Hmmm...are you kidding me????
since he already unlock his phone bootloader, there no need to go into this step just to root and install CWM on his phone....just flash any custom kernel that has stock base and you don't have to do this long step again....
all custom kernel with stock compatible is RIGHT HERE.....
