i tried this method 3 times but the link DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.zip has some problem i think coz the bat file is unable to transfer the su and superuser.apk file to the fone. hence fone is not getting root access.i dont know whr is the problem.

my device is stuck at rebooting after 4.0.3 change doomlord kit not doing anything pls help

if your phone is frozen:

Turn the power off. If your Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Volume Down button
Press and hold the Power button until the device turns on
You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
