This is my question
why all the ROM out there are needed to be flash from xrecovery within the phone itself
Is there any thing like X10i_2.0.2.A.0.24_Generic.ftf?? That flash through USB cable?
Like old time? I flash my k800i and w810i those kind of method (flash via USB)
basically:
xrecovery flash *.img files
flashtool flash *.ftf witch came from *.sin files like the ones you found on SEUS or PCC
you CAN flash SE firmware through xRecovery without using SEUS or PCC but you need to do that in 2/3 or 4 steps.
1. flash phone with SE firmware;
2. backup SE firmware through xRecovery;
3. transform *.img files into something readable on xRecovery so that you can flash a new rom with it.

Thanks for reply
Just wanted to know what's the different of them? Regarding performance or stuffs like that?
Like maybe ftf is better or maybe flash through xrecovery is better... stuffs like that
currently these was working solution root on FW .62 or newer :
[TUT] DIY Rooted 4.0.2.A.0.62 or newer LOCKED bootloader
Root .62 firmware solution in SK17i [XPERIA MINI PRO] (ACCIDENTLY SOLVED)
Rooting live WT19i 4.0.2.A.0.62 above without unlock bootloader for Noob
if anyone know how root please post i have xperia mini st15i 62 FW
thanks ahead
if you want to try it,first thing you need to have flashtool.
You can download Flashtool from this thread
You need original file from SEUS in order to flash the original kernel (FW.62) back to you phone.
Kernel only Flashtool files :
- Xperia Arc LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Neo MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Mini Pro SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Mini ST15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Active ST17i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Live With Walkman WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
You will need loader.sin to create bundle for flashing original .62 kernel
i will working on a guide later :-D
downgrate to 42 Fw with wotanserver.com its best way
updated 1st post with completed guide. :-D
Please, also include sk17a for us south americans

To get ROOT working on .62 FW,we need to flash older kernel in order zergrush exploit to work on the ROM.

download following flash file according to your device.

put downloaded file to flashtool\firmware folder
flash your device using flashtool using downloaded file.
after that try to root your device with zergrush method
this can be achive using flashtool as well
after your phone was ROOTED,you need to flash .62 back to your device.
you need firmware from SEUS can be found on
SEUS\DB\13740270\blob_fs
copy any file named FILE_?????????
there should be 3 files like that,if you found serveral files like that copy the newest files
put it on one folder
download loader.sin and put it on that folder
create new bundle :
1. open flashtool
2. advanced -> decrypt files
3. point the folder contain SEUS FW + loader.sin
4. after file decrypted it will show bundle creation
5. just select kernel.sin and loader.sin
6. fill device , version and branding
7. flash your device with the newly created file
to test if your have correctly flash .62 kernel,try to run zergrush exploit on your device

dont understand. it's need to unlocked bootloader?
root 62
I used Flashtool-0.6.6 and in it the "Flash FastBoot Mode"> "Select a HotBoot kernel" in which kernel to boot on your PC (I used it from FXP 103). after the start I went into recovery and flash file RootXperia.zip + Recovery-Addon.zip. then restart and mini default kernel + root + recovery
for files and Recovery RootXperia.zip-dik Addon.zip belongs to people from XDA.
I'm sorry for the google translator English better

if zergrush exploit working on erlier kernel,it should give us a way to gain root access.
We don't need to unlock bootloader in order to flash kernel files that originally come from SEUS.
What do you actually mean with 'you need firmware from SEUS'?
I have been trying to figure out what SEUS is and where I can download it.
after your phone was ROOTED,you need to flash .62 back to your device.
you need firmware from SEUS can be found on
SEUS\DB\13740270\blob_fs
how to get? where is the link? can u upload video tutorial?

Hello, I have flashed my phone back to the .58 kernel, but I still can't root. In the service menu it now says:
Phone software version: 1244-7088_4.0.2.A.0.58, generic - user
but file system version says: world-i_4.0.2.A.0.62
In the "about phone" menu, it also says build .62.
The deletable pre-installed apps such as Wise Pilot and UEFA came back and PCC tells me that is new firmware available again (.62)
What am I doing wrong?

Same thing here. I don't even have a update service folder. Mine says update engine. Still can't find SEUS\DB\13740270\blob_fs.
And you say SEUS is Sony Ericsson Update Service, is that the same as Sony Ericsson PC Companion?
im not sure about this step:
6. fill device , version and branding
is there some way i can copy the exact same values from my current rom? im not sure what to enter here. i use a .62 claro operator sk17a
just tried this on my sk17a and i couldnt flash the kernel - nothing happens, and it says that i do not have debug on - which is not true..
which flash mode am i supposed to use? i used 'flashmode', not the 'fast boot one' - should i use it?
maybe i need a different kernel to do it? anyone was able to
It's look like zergrush exploit patch was stored at /system partition,so if we just flash older kernel will not revert the zergrush exploit patch.if we want to use. 62 firmware we need .62 update.zip ROM that contain su binary stored on /system partition.
Is there any application for andriod which can allow me to install ftf bundles and ftf files without connecting my phone to the PC that is cant i do it from my sd card???????
NO,
you needed Flashtool!
