[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Thunderbolt8:
I used this rooting tool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346198

but how can I find out whether it worked or not? after reboot, everything seems to look as before.

got this log:

"adb wait-for-device

adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp/; rm *"

rm failed for *, No such file or directory

adb push "data/zergRush" /data/local/tmp/.

adb shell "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush"

adb shell "./data/local/tmp/zergRush"
