It works as it is
I just tried it on my R2BA023 X10 - see this screenshot
Edit: we need someone on R2BA026 to confirm it still works...
Amazing! Will try 026 later.

You mean you use this X10 mini/pro method to root your X10?
Does it give us root of bootloader or just the same as Bin4ry & co provide?
Successfully rooted a Rogers Xperia X10a running the standard Rogers R2BA020 firmware from SEUS. Nice.

Nothing to do with the bootloader just an easier way of getting root.
@chai_archer, Yes the X10 mini exploit used on X10. Works fine. Just gives root, doesn't affect the boot loader in anyway.
Someone already with R2BA026 please try this exploit
tested on R2BA026 Generic from SEUS, works ! and you get Creatouch.
Wohoo nice! Will finally install 26 in the morning

Go to market and install busybox from there.
i can confirm that this method is working great on xxx26 -> i just tested on my x10i and no problems. (update + reset via seus and then made a quick batch file and root achieved).

Did you give adb shell permission through the Superuser popup request?
Boom - just used Omnius to go back to Generic UK R1FA16, then used SEUS to get to R2BA026. Then I rooted it, no problems Fantastic!

This is most likely caused by some firewall or other security problem blocking PCC from downloading necessarily components. Check if you can temporarily disable these and try again. I think that should do it.
Hi,
I'm currently running 4.0.A.2.335 on my Mini Pro,
I've been getting the message to update to .58 for a couple months now, but was waiting to update because I wasn't sure if I was still going to be able to root.
So simple question: update before root or after?
Grtz!
Its not important, important not to use internal wi-fi updater when bootloader unlocked. in any case you must get root after every update, because all data will be removed

You cant update your phone to .58 if your phone currently rooted. You need to unroot first then update then reroot back.
So the answer is update first, then root

For my own information: do you have an AZERTY SK17i, and if so, would you please do me a favour and post your /system/build.prop (after rooting of course, can't access it otherwise) here or in my thread?
I'm looking for the 'generic Belgium' CDA code Currently running a french one but it came with some very irrelevant apps and I have another issue with it.

Nothing has been changed yet (phone is not rooted and hasn't been flashed yet). Stock can also mean, 'running SE firmware' as opposed to a custom ROM, regardless how the SE firmware was installed.

Hiiiiiiiii, I 'm new to this forum and would like to root my neo v as i'm confused that .62 firmware cant be rooted
I Have updated my Xperia neo v to new firmware 4.02.A.0.62
I'm going to root it with DooMLoRD tutorials
But i want to get the ICS update in april, so would have to unroot.
i'll use DooMLoRD unroot tutorials
But Could I get Sony Ericsson OTA update OR by Pc Companion after unrooting
will the warranty be void after unrooting
Many Thanks to DooMLoRD for Getting us use our phones at thier full capabilities....
As far as i know, when you unroot you can still update with pccompanion.
Warrenty should not be effected, as it should be undectable that yu have rooted and the unrooted
does update work with uunlock bootloader

Does that mean even if my phone is rooted i'll get update from SE
i thought DoomLord's rooting/unrooting tool does not work with .62, only with .42/.58
is there an updated tool for .62?
.62 can be rooted only with unlocked bootloader! Root with locked bootloader possible only on FW .42 and lower.
Rooting not affect further updates! If you update bay OTA, root remains, if update by PCC - you lose root.
Humm...to have a rooted .62 with locked bootloader
my method is:
1. flashtool back to to .42
2. root it via flashtool
3a. OTA to .62
it will keep your root
3b. Install CWM for locked bootloader with:
"Market> search Xperia CWM"
4 then install stock rooted image @ CWM
Both methods works
how to know that my neo V is rooted
downgraded my firmware to .42 then
i've used Easy Rooting Toolkit of DooMLoRD and i do have Superuser in my menu.
if rooted then can anybody tell me use of clockwork mod recovery as i dont want to install any custom rom. Is it really needed
can i now safely update to .62 via OTA
Thanks everybody y'all help......

CWM recovery hv advantage on back up and restore even if u r not going for custom ROMS
Also, it is a faster means to install some system apps
Say the Xperia S 's player plus all the equalizer stuffs
w/ CWM, just u/l the zip will done
but w/o CWM u will need to use ROOT Explorer set permissions for files and place them in position one by one
Btw Rooting itself will not affect OTA ONLY IF u do not remove any of the System rubbish apps
(tricks is to FREEZE them instead or delete)
but I suspect if we can reli OTA to 4.0? As it is a new FW instead of FW like .58>62
in general backup, killing rubbish & set auto runs, u will just need:
Titanium backup, Root Explorer/ES , Gemin. apps manager
Hope these help =)

Deleting rubbish apps will only affect OTA update as heard, it seems that after removing any Will cause fail to receive OTA notification of update (i dun know if it related to me that I changed the kernel to .283, i m MT15i)
As long as u use PCC or US , update is avaliable if ur bootloader is not unlocked, but this kill root
Ways to deal with, is to use flashtool to flash bk to .58, upgrade all system apps via Market, reboot again, root, then OTA to latest version, (4.0 may still work) this keep root.

Really? So, if I use PC Companion to update my Neo 2.3.4 to ICS while I'm rooted, it will update without a problem (although it would erase my root)? Even if I've deleted some of the pre-installed apps such as chinese and japanese (POBox) keyboard, OfficeSuite and similar..?
Well, do I also need to uninstall root apps like Titanium Backup or DiskUsage in order to allow for the update to install..? And should I empty the data/cache folders before updating?
I know, a lot of questions, but you've just made my day if all this is possible..

It will be kinda a waste of time and effort to update to 0.62 now and in around 2-3 weeks time to upgrade to ICS,I used both 0.42 & 0.62 fw's and tbh I don't see that much difference at all in speeds or anything.If you are in 0.42 or any fw higher to that then wait for ICS.

you're right of course, i know that .62 is no big deal, but it's just that by updating from .42 to .62 i kinda wanted to verify for myself what you wrote about updating when rooted..my main concern is whether i'll be able to update to ICS (via PCC) if i previously uninstalled some of the pre-loaded apps (no matter how unessential they are)..of course i wouldn't uninstall apps such as phonebook, systemUI or similar, but stuff like officesuite or japanese/chinese keyboards should be safe to remove..
i'm simply uncertain how things will go, so i'm trying to take baby steps so i can take the big step when (ICS)..
Hi everyone!
I Unlocked my bootloader about 7 months ago. I read somewhere in XDA that If you unlock your BL ,you won't receive OTA UPDATES.
But all of a sudden this noon I received bunch of notification inculding Xperia system update (update to 23.1.A.1.28), Video app, Info Eye , Whats New and photo editor app updates suggesting me to update them to the latest version and especially after 7 months and after I unlocked my bootloader! This is the first time i receive such notifications after unlocking my BL!
I'm currently on 23.1.A.0.690 Build!
now here is the question!
Should I Update my phone system (not apps) Using this OTA updates? or it's risky and my phone gets bricked and I should use the same old ftf way or CMW Recovery Update?
Please Answer Me , I'm So confused if this is a change in Sony rules or it's just a notification that everyone with unlocked BL used to receive and I should update too!!!
update: My rooting status in Service Menu is: Unknown!!!!!
update 1: I Updated Photo Editor, Video and What's New from what's New App itself!
Just update, your phone will continue to work normally
Its a possibility the verifacation system that stops after Ub ot root, its possible that it may fail to check properly hence some people have OTA on Root and unlocked bootloaders

Ok Thanks, But isn't it risky to update through this OTA Notifications? because I haven't updated with this notification yet.
I mean if I update with this does my phone get bricked?
My point is Should I update Using this notification or use the old way?
thanks for your response!

No, you just lose root and if your jumping android versions or a kernel change then if your on UB then your kernel becomes stock.
