This is not an answer to your question. (Sorry about that) In fact, I wanted to ask you a question. I have the same mobile with the same kernel build but I couldn't manage to root. I get stuck when I have to root using DoomLord's method. I am able to flash the 562 kernel but, my phone doesn't display anything after that. (The instructions say its normal as there is a kernel mismatch) but the batch file is not able to root as after flashing the "USB debugging" and "Unknown sources" is turned off by default. And I can't turn it on as my screen won't display anything. Any suggestions?

It is possible, you have to upgrade to ICS first, or if you like GB you can install Cyanogen Mod 7.

[Q] CM7 for x10 Mini Pro Help

Phone Specifications:
Name: Se X10 mini pro (u20i)
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Information: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: 2.0.A.0.504
Im actually trying to install the CM7 for x10 mini pro with the phone specs above
the problem is im not sure if my phone is capable of doing it...
Can anybody enlighten me please?
Will this update my android version? from 2.1 to 2.++ or higher?
or should i find the CMVersion for my android version so it will match?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
of course you can install it..I have installed cm7,8,9 on my vodafone 845 so yes you can
Is it going to update my android version?
From 2.1-update1 to newer version?
Cm7 is based on 2.3.x so yes it will upgrade, you can also try cm6 wixh are based on 2.2.x but cm7 is faster and better in my experience.
Read the rom page carefully and the instalation instructions, most cm7 roms will require the latest stock version from sony, plug the phone into seus or ericcson pc companion, update to latest version, then download and flash the rom.
Heres a good one to get you started:

Btw, you will need root and a recovery installed to flash rom, you can find all the info in the mini pro development forum.

Xperia mini pro SK17i Root and update to android 6

Hello, sorry for my bad english, i'm french. I have recently bought a xperia mini pro SK17i.
But it is not rooted and my user experience on this device is too limited.
In effect, i can't use youtube, neither facebook, neither google browser (certificate errors appears)...
I wanted to root this device and update to android 6 with if possible keep timescape app, but i have never try it (root and installing custom firmware)
Please, could you explain to me different steps to obtain a root then a stable version to use this phone so pretty?
Thank you so much !
This phone is more than 10 years old. Don't think you'll find a Custom ROM based on Android 6+ for it.
I've seen also android lineage 7 above it but i'm totally noob to root and install a custom rom..
To flash a Custom ROM rooting phone's Android isn't necessary at all: what you need is to flash a suitable Custom Recovery at first thing of all things, afterwards flash a matching Custom ROM by means of the installed Custom Recovery.
