It's like 3-4 years so memory is hazy.
You can't brick boot unless you flash the kernel multiple times. I would still recommend going for a custom recovery. IMO try this kernel.

AFAIK adb reboot recovery doesn't work with xperia phones.
I would still recommend custom kernel for unlocked phones. They work alright.

[Tutorial]root .62 with stock kernel (unlock bootloader requiered)

this is my first tutorial, hope it help
sorry for my english
some people going to say, "but, if you have unlocked bootloader, only have to flash a custom kernel with root", this method is for peoble that want to have their original firmwares .62 and stock kerner or in my case, people that can't flash custom kernel because of the problem of "1 bad blocks encountered" in the nand memory :'(
you need:
1) Unlock bootloader
2) a custom kernel with recovery (its not going to be flashed)
3) this file root.zip
4) flashtools
Intruccion:
1) save the root.zip to your sdcard
2) open flashtools
3) press the flash button (the one with the lightning)
4) Enter the option Fastboot mode
5) conect your phone in fastboot mode (phone off and press volumen + while connect the phone, the indicator led must turn blue)
6) press "Select Kernel to HotBoot" in the flashtools (in hootboot the kernel its no really flashed)
7) select the custom kernel with recovery
8) the phone restart, press continiously volume down to enter in recovery mode
9) in the recovery enter in install zip from sdcard
10) install root.zip
flashing this file with CWM the phone gain root access, i have only prove it with the mini, i don't know if it works for other models

Just had to put this...

Now..
Custom kernels already give root, after you have installed the kernel.

thanks for your answer
i know, but if you read the post, you see that some people CAN'T install custom kernels or some people prefer use stock kernel, this post its particulary for that cases
in my case, i unlock bootloader for flash custom kernel but i encountered the problem of "1 bad blocks encountered", a factory failure, so, i can't instal custom kernels, i find this solution for my particulary case and i want to share it, maybe someone have the same problem

Root the new JellyBean [build 6.2.A.0.400] [UB and LB]

For Unlocked Bootloader
OK, its simple and almost anyone can do it. Just follow the steps and you will get a working root access
1. Flash the JellyBean build
2. Download and put this flashable zip (Superuser) in the root of the SD Card Download here
3. Flash any ICS kernel, I recommend ThP because there is a Power Off option and its easier Link Here (And yeah, if you are asking yourself if the ICS kernel will work on JB, it wont. The phone will stuck at bootloop.) or Nemesis Kernel
4. Flash the zip and power off the device from recovery
5. Flash the JellyBean kernel. It can be found here LINK
6. Power on the device and Enjoy !
I am working on TWRP for the new JellyBean kernel, stay tuned !
Method 2
Flash ThP Kernel HERE. It has autoroot function

For Locked Bootloader
There are some regions where OTA update is available. Some of you might try the following:
- root any ICS ROM
- install ОТА Root Keeper
- update via OTA
NOTE:
If you have country problems in which the update isn't available yet, try changing the SI codes. The method can be found here.

Yes there could be. But My intention is to Help. Nothing Else.
Exactly, with your post, we know what we're doing precisely. And that's what other tutorials miss in general. They're just recipes we follow without understanding. Thanks for your input!

Ive rooted my xperia mini pro... already unlocked the bootloader. Now do i need to install CWM recovery? If so how do i go about doing it.
I was searching the threadsand everyone seems to keep saying that u dont need CWM if u have unlocked ur bootloader.
If that is true how do i flash a custom ROM without having CWM (or any other recovery for that matter)?

If you flash the custom kernel, you will have the recovery too. All of our custom kernels have the recovery included

I think the kernel has an old version of superuser so to get latest version you have to flash it separately.

You're welcome Rajeev;
I says before this method tested by me on c5303 and .245 Firmware and I recomended to flash supersuer.zip separately.
but this kernel does not automatically install supersuer app? Are you sure?
I've tested many ways and all of the root method and "supersu" to make the program very slow and very weak.
I tell you this because I tested it with superuser root, really better and much faster at startup supersu works.

does the bootloader unlock and lock actually work from this? i thought that with xiaomi devices the only way to unlock bootloader was by using the mi flash unlock tool?

I guess the "Reboot EDL" feature doesn't work with Dipper, does it?
Cool.
Does it work to return full stock including original recovery? I don't want to brick my device so I better ask.

Actually the tool is able to flash a full fastboot factory image, so it will also flash the stock recovery, the problem is the arb, the tool is unable to read the arb version and if the rom can be flashed or not, so before flash it you should be sure you are flashing the right rom
For example would it work to flash Global 10.2.2 also to restore the stock recovery, or any considering that now I am rooted + twrp on custom rom? Been also on latest MIUI versions bit want to regain my stock again.

Yes the problem is not the rom but the arb, if there is not an arb problem you can flash the rom without problems
How can I find it out?
