Cannot Rooting Xperia Mini Pro

---

First i'm so sorry if i Repost her.
Because i'm a new in here also android too

okay, just like a title thread..

I really cant Rooting my phone..
dont know why, im using Method Doomlord V4, its useless
im using Method SuperoneClick, same too <-- It was hang in a middle of process

what wrong?
my phone?

owh yeah,.. my phone is Gingerbread, its that a problem?

OK if you are on Gingerbread, you have to do it like this. But your data will be lost, so backup your data first.

Do the first step from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1695514

You can perform the 2nd step of the tutorial, too to root your Gingerbread rom, but i would root with flashtool. That means you do step 1 of the Tutorial and start your phone.
Then you enable usb debugging on your phone and allow non market apps. After that, you connect your phone to your PC again and start flashtool. There you klick on the open padlock and your device will be rooted automaticly. After reboot, root should be available!

OKay man thankxx..
i' will try it. and report it here..

Ok what I forot: Don't perform my first solution, if your bootloader is unlocked, otherwise your phone will not boot again!

And: If you don't want to loose your data, you can untick the box with "wipe userdata" in flashtool, so your apps should still be there after the downgrade.

On which version are you? If you are on the .69 or .62 firmware version, you must perform the Downgrade step, if you are on .58 or any other version, you can just connect to flashtool and klick the padlock to root. On older than 62/69 you don't need to downgrade!

install the adb drivers and flashtool and drivers then
(1)download this:
SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_GLOBAL.ftf
(2) place the ftf in the C:\Flashtool\firmwares folder
(3)use the flash tool to flash this ftf.
(4) root the device using the doomlord's release
(5) update your phone via sony pc companion

Updating via PC Companion removes root.

You wont loose root if you follow this guide:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4#post26914104

basically:
1. run 01-local-prop.cmd to create /data/local.prop (enable android emulator hack)
2. power off device and update your device WITHOUT FACTORY RESET
3. run 02-push-root-files.cmd to push su binary and superuser.apk
4. your device will automatically reboot

(Btw remember that the scripts only run ok if you are using the MSC connection mode for USB)

superOneClick is only for below 2.2 .. maybe that's why you failed
