SE xperia mini pro sk17 comes with android 2.3 but i've updated it to ICS.
I just want to install paranoid custom rom in it but i'm not able to boot it into recovery mode.
here's the link to the tutorial http://www.technikan.com/how-to-update-sony-xperia-mini-pro-sk17isk17a-to-android-4-1-2-paranoid-custom-rom/

Am i misisng something? to use this method does the phone need to be rooted or flashed previously or it works with stock condition?
