I managed to root my device just fine using this method

yes I have yet this program, I've tried to talk with them on skype to know what I have to write in "serial number" case: the manual say that I need its!
did you use unlockphone to unlock bootloader too?
today the phone advised me that is possible tu upgrade at 11.0.A.4.22,
have I to upgrade or is better what we say in message 4 e 5?
does Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 able to root this firmware?
REEDIT:
ok, I did , very easy, with "unlockroot", do not need any code or serial number but it was not funny as root a chinese phon
can I updete to new firmer (11.0.A.4.22) version without lost root?
Sorri for this self-quote but i would know...

[Q] Rooting Xperia Mini

Hi everyone. I'm new in this website and I REALLY need your help. I want to root my cell phone (xperia mini st15i), and I want if possible to give me a trustworthy video so I can root it step by step. The reason of this thread is having a video from you guys that I know I can trust. My build number is 4.1.B.0.587 Kernel version is 2.6.32.9-perf and I'm using Android 4.0.4. Hope that you'll help me and not being pain in the ass. Thanks!
There's a sub forum for xperia mini. Better to ask it in there. I had the same device one year ago. Easiest way is unlocked the bootloader and install a CWM added kernel and flash superSU zip file. There are many ways to root it without unlocking bootloader.

Rooting Xperia L 4.2.2

Hi community, I have flashed Android 4.2.2 Generic World FTF using Flashtool to my Xperia L C2105, now I want to root it, but I don't know, how to do it. I have found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307983 and there is reference to thread with 4.2.2 root, but I can't go on this webpage, there is some error.
Can somebody give me some tutorial how to root XL working on Android 4.2.2, or explain me?
I have also found Motochopper method, somebody told me that it is right way to root my phone, but I'm not sure because I have read somewhere that Motochopper works only on some Motorola devices.
Maybe I will sell my phone in 3-4 months so I'll need a warranty back, so there should be a way to unroot the phone.
Sorry for my english
Thanks for help, greetings.
The methods that exist to root 4.2.2 firmware on Xperia L are considered unsafe :-/ Therefore the page was removed by xda's mods
And the motochopper method you read about was meant for android 4.1
To unroot you can always restore your device to original firmware, using pc companion, Sony Update Service or flashtool
Ok, thanks. When you say, that root on 4.2.2 is unsafe, do you mean that I won't be able to flash soft back at all? But does some method to root 4.2.2 exists?

Unsafe means those software are suspected to be malicious, more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46246819&postcount=1
Okay, thanks. Someone can close the thread, nvm, I'll wait till there will appear some safe and working way to root.
Thank you all.

You can try this method...root 4.2
Rooting using Kingoroot and vroot is risky.. It and IMEI number of your device to their server in China.. And we don't know what it does.. So be careful and don't use these 2 methods
