I have found a lot instructions, but most (or all) of them use a Windows GUI application to root the device. The Linux scripts, that I found did not work.

My telephone:

  • Model: Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i)
  • Android-Version: 4.0.4
  • Kernel-Version: 2.6.32.9-perf
  • Build-Nummer: 4.1.B.0.587

How can I root this phone with a linux computer?

HINT This is not a duplicate question, because I want to do it from Linux (not Windows) and second the alleged solution does not contain an answer for my phone!

    This is not a duplicate, because the linked answer does not contain a possibility for this phone (although linked to another answer, but which has no solution!).

  • I've just updated the main rooting answer to point to this question as the previously linked 'answer' for this phone was not actually about rooting.

You could install CyanogenMod on it, their instructions have worked out on Linux for me.
