There is no way to root .62 directly without unlocking BL, but there is a way around: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866
And please edit your thread title, to reflect your question.

Yes cause you can't root ics for mini pro. You have to downgrade and then root downgraded firmware, use local-prop and then upgrade to ics without wiping data, then run push-root-files and you should have rooted ics!
Hi, I know the update 4.1.b.0.587 it's out, and I want to update my mini pro, but I'm stuck on .431 so anybody knows how can I update my SK17A because I tried with SEUS, and it says I already have the last update, PC companion say's the same thing, so if someone could help me that will be perfect..I have the mini pro SK17A not the SK17I
At the moment,4.1.b.0.587 is out only for Sk17i i guess.
Sk17a is till .431 as of now.
Have you seen someone using an sk17a with .587?

not really, but i dind't know that the sk17i was that different from the sk17a that's to bad, but i guess i should wait then
i guess i'm gonna forget about that update for know, so i have another question, and i hope someone could help me..as i have an stock rom, android 4.0.4, with stock kernel, compilation .431, no root, no unlocked bootloader, no nothing actually xD so my question is, my phone with ICS is a little slow, mostly on games, and i would like to know is what i need to do to solve that? i read on other threads that flashing a different kernel can fix that, it's that true? and besides, can i flash an custom kernel having an stock rom? how can i do that? i guess i need root on my phone first, i can do that, but i need to unlock the bootloader? that i don't want to do it
a stands for america!
And i is the international version!
That's what ive heard!
Idk what the differences are though

Yes custom rom/kernel will make ur phone smooth in every way. But for trying custom kernel u need boot loader unlocked.But u can try custom rom without unlocking boot loader if u have rooted :good:

Thanks! But i was talking about having stock rom with custom kernel, or do i need both for make it work better?..besides, the reason i haven't rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader is becauses is to hard! XD i remember when i used to have a motorola milestone, you just need to install the app universal androot, or use superone click, and that's it, you have your phone rooted, but know it's to difficult, i have a galaxy nexus too, i recently root that one, and it wasn't easy either but i did it, but with this one, the xperia mini, it looks like having root and unlock the bootloader it's no for everyone
After rooting,when I'm on cyanogenmod9 on ics,I can overclock to 1.6 ghz too while gaming.no lag in using phone too.though my bootloader is unlocked. I would suggest you to root for a better experience!
Cheers.

U must unlock bootloader to use custom kernel even u use with stock rom.just unlock ur bootloader its not that tough.the easiest way to root after that just flash a custom kernel which is pre-rooted( like rage kernel & many) via flashtool.u will have root access

To flash custom kernel you need unlocked bootloader, but for flashing custom ROM you need root and/or unlocked bootloader. Mostly of the ROMs work on locked bootloader too but if you want to play games so much you should Install Pure AOSP/AOKP based ROM and if you want best experience with games you should also install custom kernel.

Hello guys, i have a question for you.
The situation of my phone is this:
NOT-unlocked bootloader
CWM recovery
.587 baseband
OctanE ROM v5
I want to try Jelly bean, so i must unlock the bootl.
Should I install stock rom before the operation? Or can I maintain mine?
No need to flash stock ROM again... Just unlock your bootloader... There's a complete guide by mihahn in the stickies
And then flash JB specific kernel and flash JB ROM

After flashing kernel, does recovery work well? Because on the old x10 mini there were some conflicts.

Hi Everyone,
I have been asking this hi-jacking other threads already but with no answers.
Can anyone tell us noobs what is the best recovery to use with [JB 1.100][Doomed Rooted][Locked BL] for Xperia Go?
I am looking at CWM Touch recovery for Locked Bootloader by @atis112 but I am very skeptic because it says it's for ICS.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Eljun
P.S. Hope this HELPS other noobs like me.

I also took a look but didn't find any cmw.
You can install a custom rom though. Just downgrade to ics, install cwm for ics, transfer the rom you want on your phone and install it via cwm.
It's the only solution i think that could work for now mate.
Hope could help you.
I used exactly this one from Atis112

Hi bro.. Did you mean the original post [CWM][ICS]CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 for Locked Bootloader[v1.0][29/11/2012] by @atis112 with the 1.0 version?
Please confirm back to us. Thanks Thanks.. I believe we are on the same initial config prior recovery installation.

Downgrading to ICS and and installing CWM from ICS is my last option, if I can install CWM
using my current JB settings then I will try. Hope some others can give me tips.. Thanks though, and thanks has been hit too to both of you.

Yes, Im also on JB .100 from PCC and doomed and installed CWM from Atis112
You try, it should work!! For me it worked fine.
Sometimes it will not install on first attempt, but when i try again, it works!!
But now anyway i've installed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348778
Root and CWM are included, debloated and everything else. Battery life is awesome, 8 hours of standard using, average phone calls and only 6% battery left!!
You should try it, it is working also on Locked bootloader.
