I actually rooted my phone when I wan in 4.0.4 with the kernel trick so I'm not sure but as much as I know if you flash the ftf file of 4.0.4 you can do it without losing root...

Ok...so what i found is that if you download the ftf file for stock firmware and then install without wiping data+cache then u might be able to do it,...but still i'm not sure so try it at ur own risk....

Xperia Mini Pro SK17i Update mystery
Xperia Mini Pro SK17i update is mystery, i update my Xperia Mini Pro to 4.0.4 ICS and i experienced certain inconsistencies, after searching for hours it found that i should repair my update and after that do factory default, i did that and it made my phone much better. Now everything is fine accept one think that making me hate my phone, it's battery backup which is very ugly. It hardly goes one day in mostly standby mode.
If anyone else like me is frustrated with only battery issue or know how to fix it than please reply...

hi guys,
I am quite a noob, and trying to figure this xperia thing, after at last I managed to nicely root and flash my htc.
But it seems on xperia it is all working different. What I need, is generally to delete bloatware, to do so I need root.
But to get root I need to flash a ROM first? In htc it's rooting so that you can flash roms. It all gets me confused.
Is there a way then to root without any weird downgroading/flashing roms?

If you are on gingerbread you can root it on older Firmware than .62/.69, otherwise you must downgrade and upgrade again. Just Check out my signature

If you want to remove bloatware apps it's easier to remove them from the zip package before you flash the rom.
Open the the rom using 7zip or similar program (open archive NOT extract it).
Then go into the system folder and there is an app folder (system/app).
The app folder contains pretty much most the app's that are on your rom.
Just go through them and delete the app's you don't want, there are plenty of lists around of safe apps to delete/remove, there are some on here and if you google you will find more.
Please help me out. Phone is not turning ON
I was trying to root my phone sony xperia neo L.
I flashed MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel using flashtool. then the phone went off. It vibrated (I guess it was in debugging mode)
Then I rooted the phone using Doomlord easy root method. the phone got rooted.
but when I try to flash MT15_4.1.B.0.431_kernel the phone is not turning ON.
What do I do. Please help.
Red notification light is blinking slowly.

If you already unlocked the bootloader, just flash the extended kernel. It will automatically give you root

thanks for the fast response..hmm i really dont have idea on "extended kernel" can you tell me mate what to do?can i flash it even im already back on BUILD 4.1.B.0.587?
Once you have unlocked ur bootloader all you need to do is flash a pre-rooted kernel(maximum are pre-rooted) and then flash any ROM made for the kernel
Best Regards,

Just flash any custom kernel then u can use doomlords rooting toolkit for ics or gb..
