Build Number 4.0.A.2.335 should i root or not?
depends on your need. if you want to root and official unlock it, i recommend you to update it to .368 build first
its already showing that your phone is up to date…android version is 2.3.3…
and is it necessary to Unlock Xperia Mini Pro before rooting…please HELP!
use flash tool. follow instruction from xda-developers strictly

salam bro, nie nak tye skit. xperia mini pro sk17i bleh buat CyanogenMod7 ke?
Boleh je..tgk kat xda-developers
Thank you very much awis for this really informative and helpful and very easy method. I was searching such an easy method for weeks and finally I found yours.
I have some other questions for you and I hope you will answer these questions.
I have Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro (SK17i) unrooted.
Android Version 2.3.4 (Gingerbread)
Baseband Version 8x55A-AAAQOAZM-203028D-58
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1
Build Number 4.0.2.A.0.58
I also have the bootloader unlock key.
As you mentioned in you post that “Make sure you are on stock firmware 4.0.A.2.368″.
I want to know can I still use your method to unlock and root my phone by using your boot.img file or I can use Gingerbreak.apk file?
I also want to know the names of applications which are safe to remove?
I also want to know how to free up RAM memory permanently?
I hope you will answer these questions and again give me a chance to say thanx to you.
So much to answer..install setXperia to know what are the safe apps to remove. just unlock your phone using sony method, safer..
you dont have to do much about memory management. android will take care of that..xperia mini pro’s ram is sufficient for daily phone use.
bro.. mcm mana nk change minipro sk17i to recovery mode? tq
bang tadinya fw yg dipake udah ics, terus aku unlock pake cara ini http://www.awislabs.com/blog/2011/08/unlocking-xperia-mini-prosk17i-bootloader-warranty-will-void/
kemudian aku mau root pake cara diiatas, pas udah sampe di cmd, hape ku nyalain langsung bootloop, dan aku baca lagi trnyata tread agan buat fw 368
aku cari2 368 linknya udah pada mati . . . jadi bang . . . share donk fw 368nya T.T
Boss I have Successfully Done for You.
pls help. i searched all over the internet but no procedures worked on my sk17i, i want to enter the recovery mode so that i can undo/reset user data. But i cannot enter.
i was trying to run adhoc wifi http://forum.xda-developers.comshowthread.php?t=1980021 from this process and forgot to backup my android. And now my wifi/mobile data both doesnt work and i badly need to recover my phone. Please let me know if you have any solution.
flash new boot.img using bootloader mode. The boot.img must have recovery in it..
kalaw nk root build number 4.1.B.0.587 gimana ya caranya??
