just to ask: what you want to do bcuz:
if you want unlock bl & install custom rom theres no need to root b4.
if you just want root ics 4.0.4 or GB use "e-root" app

I got it to work now. took me a second try.
"edit. And now i have the phone rooted. I love this forum.
Great, thanks!!!
Is this root persistent? I.e. is it likely that it will survive the 2.3.4 upgrade coming soon?

My Xperia mini has official 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware and I want to root it
I searched for this in this site and I found this way :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346198
I like this way because it's easy and safe without any complicated steps like flashing
But it didn't work with this firmware
I want to root because the screen is too dark and I want to disable the light sensor of the device.
I'm new in this site and I want the easiest way to do this....
Anyone can help???
Thanks...
(Sorry for my bad english )
EDIT:
Finally my phone is rooted
I downgraded the firmware from wotanserver.com to 4.0.2.A.0.42
It's easy !
Then I rooted my phone by this way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1346198

Special thanks to you guys
There is no way to root .62 for now.
Unless you unlock your bootloader.

First unlock the bootloader the SE way.
Then flash the rage kernel with flash tool and you are automatically rooted.
.
It worked for me with .62..
Try it.

Simply open wotanserver.com
make an account, it's free!
Download the WotanClient application
and open it!
Select .42 firmware
and your phone will be flashed to selected firmware
But you must back up your data
I synchronized my contacts and calendar with my google account

Use Flashtool to put back the .42 or .58 software, root it, and then update via Update Center on the phone. After the update, the phone will be still rooted until you do a factory reset.

This still doesn't help on ppl who can't unlock it. Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to unlock it. I'm waiting for a solution like the X10 had (with "bypassing" a kernel and so. I still have a .apk file from Z which gives a recovery0.2 but that's not CWM ofc)

you can do a full wipe :
call *#*#7378423#*#*
Customisation Setting → reset customisation
or
fastboot.exe -w
or
use pc companion to repair device (this will also lead to full reset of the device)

You can do a full wipe by manual. There is an option to do that on Setting.

if its not .54 fw then you should be able to root it easily, check to see if you are doing all the steps right, or you can search for more information on the forum about rooting the firmware you have, there is enough information in the forum if you search for it to root any xperia u running any FW.
