Hi all, coming from IOS I find all this rooting / bootloader unlocking etc quite confusing as apparently there are some restrictions when wanting to go back to the stock (non-rooted) rom.
So here is my question:
I know relocking the bootloader is quite a specific job, I won't touch that.
As far as I know, if you only want to root the stock rom, you don't need to unlock that bootloader. Is that right?
As I'm on .62 with my mini pro, I need to downgrade to an older version, root it and then do an OTA upgrade to .62 again. I will keep my root then.
My question is: can I revert to a non-rooted version easily?
I still want to be able to test the upcoming ICS version.
I don't want to loose DRM etc, but as I understood this has nothing to do with rooting your device, only with unlocking the bootloader. Right?
Can this be confirmed?

No, you dont need to unlock yout bootloader yo get root. Rooting your device will have to affect with the bootloader and DRM is only removed from unlocking the bootloader. You can easily un-root your phone if you use Doom Lord's root method as he gives a file to unroot.
Thx for the info!
Or you can flash .58 firmware again and root will be gone,
Hello, I want to know how I can unroot my cell phone but I don´t understand when you say something about "Doom Lord's root method". I couldn´t find this in the forum. Can you tell me something about this method? Or can you explain me about how to unroot my Xperia Mini Pro.
PD: I am from Argentina and I have a SK17a.

You can root without downgrading. But u have to have unlocked bootloader
anybody know How to root xperia m4 aqua (D2353) [26.1.A.2.167] without unlock bootloader? , i've try many guide and many universal root apps in pc or desktop with windows. but no one of them is success, anybody know how to root this device without unlock bootloader?
yes first you have downgrade to the firmware - 26.1.A.1.112
i had the same device , do everything in this guide , make sure you download the 26.1.A.1.112 firmware when you downgrade from 26.1.A.2.167
+you can also backup the TA Partition after rooting (For warranty)

Thanks for your comment , i'm not sure to downgrade firmware version, cause overheat and bloatware issue in old buid. btw this is not my primary device, so i can't check it frequently. any method available again?
seems like you havent visited the link i have given, if you want to root your phone without unlocking the bootloader, you have to downgrade and install the root, then you can upgrade tothe latest version
Okay, I'm sorry for that before. yeah i'm not read it completely sorry, i will try it. thanks
