DooMLoRD (second link in original post) provides info on unrooting ( here ).

So your warranty should be safe

it can work on xperia mini pro 4.0.2.A.0.58?

EDIT: Rooted Xperia Mini Pro (Sk17) FW 4.0.A.2.338 now trying to update and root 4.0.2.A.0.58

ADB drivers for sony ericsson: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/search-downloads/driver?cc=gb&lc=en

i installed the drivers with right click on .inf files and choose "install" (on windows xp) then connected my phone with usb and adb driver installation started by windows as usually with drivers. (then started the runme.bat)

EDIT2: CONFIRMED WORKING on Xperia Mini Pro (Sk17) 2.3.4 FW 4.0.2.A.0.58

Thanks to Revolutionary Team and DooMLoRD for the amazing work! root'n'roll!

Does this method corrupt the DRM TrackID feature?
