Stop giving generic advice, will you! I followed your “step by step”, and guess what, I have an Xperia X10i and live in Hong Kong. I am not mentally disabled, although I do have hydrocephalus. Regardless, I did exactly what you said… It doesn’t work for everyone!!!!!! If you’re offended by my comments then say something along the lines of “…it night not work for peoples outside…”
Xperia X10’i’ – to be specific.
If you’re going to post something that a few billion may well have access to then make your comments incontrovertibly reliable, true, and…do your bleedin’ homework…..you…. Who’s the idiot? You’ll be happy to know you’ve just wasted…..3 hours of my life.

cheers. it would take less than 5 seconds.
I have a mini pro and it does not work.
I installed the program and when I start to root it fails.
Just to make sure, does this procedure cover the Mini PRO also? I’m assuming it does, I just want to check before I go ahead with it! Thanks for the awesome info too guys.
