Follow these instructions and let me know if it works. This will wipe your data. If you want to save sms messges, contacts, bookmarks, etc, download "Super backup" or something similar from Google Play. Go to the first page in this thread, flash the 4.0.2.A.0.62 ftf under the Xperia Mini banner. Then close flashtool, and run the doomlord script, and you should now be rooted.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Guynan:
It could be the case that you have the rooting toolkit open simulteneously, both are then trying to get adb permissions and more often than not, neither do. I'm not very familiar with the active I'm sorry, but could flashmode be another hardware key? For example, try the volume down button.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
You can do a factory reset directly from the phone: in gingerbread it's in Settings/Privacy, don't know if ICS changed that.

You will lose your apps, but you can backup them with Titanium Backup.

You will lose your contacts, messages, e-mails and everything else. Create a backup for those too.

You will lose all your settings.

You won't lose root.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
You need to find the ftf of your region for that purpose. Or you can just edit the build.prop and change the cdf number to one which is of your region or any region that has recieved the update.

(btw, the link of .42 firmware in someguyfrom hell's thread is eligible for update I think. I got the notification when I flashed it on my phone)

Had a problem but solved it

First to mention that I had .62 GB rom inside, rooted BUT with "supersu" not usual superuser app and after I flashed ICS on my sk17i I thought that supersu will keep the root after flash with flashtool.

Anyway I followed procedure from step 3. and after flashing my phone did not reboot (not even once).

Looked like bricked, I disconected it and on second anttemp was able to start it and after android update was pretty laggish.

I finished with last step and cmd says everything OK.

I manually reboted and it was still slow (probably huge amount of installed apps).

I did factory reset and everything works fine after manual update of some 60+ apps.

What I do not like in ICS on xperia?

1. Screenshot (was usualy in long press of power button)?

2. Copy/Cut/Select in ICS

If anyone has time and will please try to update over rooted xperia with SUPERSU donate version, I believe it will keep the root.

PS Also my phone was not localised (menu wasn't on croatian), after update it is as info to people worryed that phone will be localised for some foreign country.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Yes. You are debranding your phone that way. When you flash a ftf, then you are actually installing all the system files all over again. So your cdf number is replaced by the one in the ftf.

To revert back to the original, you need to flash the ftf of your region, and if you are unable to get it, you can try to edit buil.prop and change the cdf numbers to the one you had in GB. So, even though the rest of the firmware is not of your region, the phone's buil.prop is of yout region, causing you to receive your region specific updates from next time. (even if you repair usi ng PCC or SUS you will be installed with the ICS ROM of the cdf in build.prop)

The ICS ROM by O2 will contain a few more apps, which are usually termed as crap, but might be useful for you. That will be the only major difference, other than the delay that might be caused for rolling out of your update. And if you flash the ftf of say global version to your O2 branded phone, your phone will become global and no more O2 branded from the software side. You can search a bit on the internet and confirm if it is alright to use ftf flashing in branded phones. And then proceed. I am not very sure about the procedure the operators use to brand the phones software wise. But IMO, they just keep the CDF in build.prop different from the international one, causing it to get a different status and different updates.

Rick

hi i just got my ray and updated to 4.0.4. and crap it sucks. i just want to know if there is a possible way to root directly from 4.0.4 using flashtool. i rooted my x8 with flashtool and was just hoping if there is a flashtool also to root xperia ray under 4.0.4.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
No. You can not root directly when in 4.0.4. Since you use a Ray, you have with you two options. First, as directed in this tutorial. And the second would be to flash the 4.0.3 Kerenel in the 4.0.4 ROM, and root this by DoomLord's root kit. Then, you will have to flash only the kernel of the 4.0.4 ROM and you will get root in a complete 4.0.4 firmware. Search and there are tutorials for the same in xda.

BTW, how do we get CWM up and running on the SK17i? I've just installed busybox from Stericcson's Google Play app and used nAa's CWM Installer app..but the reboot into recovery option doesn't work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Doesn't matter. While booting press the volume down button a few times when the Sony logo comes up. And then a blue LED will glow. You will enter CWM after that. Take a backup and download a few zips. And flash with fun. :D.

Thanks,
