What's your thoughts on the 2.3.4 update, when do you think we will see it?
After a couple of searches on google I'm afraid that it will take a while before we have it, what do you guys think?

here you go 2.3.4
Android 2.3.4 for XPERIA Mini
Yeah I've seen that but I would like to keep my phone with locked boatloader I'm talking about the official one since the arc, neo, ray and play got it about a week ago.

If it's the offical firmware then by rights you don't need to unlock the bootloader as it's signed code.
Here in Sweden it's been released officially and can be updated using SEUS/PC Companion
But now when I got the official release can I root it?
I have followed this guide to unlock bootloader and root another Xperia Mini but this is for FW 4.0.A.2.368.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227149
Is it possible to root after updating to 2.3.4, FW: 4.0.1.A.0.283?
Check the Arc section, I think they have a method of rooting for this firmware that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader.

Hi I have just got an X10 and it is locked I believe and it is running the first android 1.6 it has never been updated or anything.
I would like to know how I can update it to 2.1 froyo and also if there is a way to unlock the phone my self.
I have had experience with the htc desire but not with the X10.
Thanks for any help or info

No offense mate but just read the forum and use search.
You have experience with android so just use one if the 2.1 threads.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I did look around the forum but I don't know how to usedate to 2.1 from 1.6 I seem to have found out that I need to pay to get phone unlocked.
If someone can point me to a thread that explains how I update that would be great.
Thanks

Download pc companion for sony ericsson and/or SEUS to see if you can upgrade it there. If it says something like you already have an updated version, u can either wait or flash it to 2.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201
Firmware update and unlock is two different things.
You don't get your device unlocked by updating the firmware.
I know them are two different things mate I have rooted my phone with a one click root thing from the market I want to update to 2.1 which I am going to look into now.
But I wondered if there was a free way I could do it myself.
Thanks

Hello and sorry if this has been already asked. I just got my new Xperia Ray and I want to root it, but I can't. I have locked bootloader, android version 2.3.4 and firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62. Tell me exactly what to do cause I am really newbie. Send me links with tutorials to follow if needed.
P.S.: Moderators move it to right.section if it isn't right now. As I said I new here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567125
here for .62
as for unlocking bootloader , use the testpoint method , dont use the official SE method because if you use that method, your phone will brick when you apply the update from them.
With test point, you can get the official sony's ICS update.

I would just google "how to root xperia ray." Seriously thats how I rooted my droid x. Thats actually how most network problems get fixed at work.
Cheers

I did googled, but it seems locked bootloader is the problem. And I can't unlock with testpoints. Any way to root with locked bootloader? Also I managed to get to 4.0.2.A.0.42.

if you got any problems with the testpoint, i think you have to try harder as i also had failed so many time doing that...maybe you have to manually install the driver..
I downgrade to .42 with flashtool and rooted with zerg tool. Then installed busybody and cwm with se tweak. All with locked bootloader!

You can try custom launcher and rooting won't really affect your update

Rooting your phone won't defect it from updating to ICS.
Just root your phone.
You can try : [MOD][ICS|GB] DefaultThemes.apk mod like you want.
This is my mod for stock theme manager... Install like normal app After reboot stock themes will restored...

rooting your devices doesn't have any effect on updating using SEUS or OTA but un-locking bootloader does...it will prevent your device from receiving official update from Sony....
anyway you can always lock/re-lock bootloader again in case you want update from Sony....

rooting voids warranty
many people dont root their android because it voids the warranty, and i know you can "unroot" it later on, but still i wouldnt like to mess up with it till my warranty is there. upgrade to ICS or no upgrade, i would stay away from rooting for the time being at least.
so can we get themes for unrooted LwW?
Thanks

Sorry to say mate you cannot root this using soc or any other easy root method.
You have either to downgrade to build .42 using flashtools then root then update ota.
ONLY DO THIS IF BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED.
If bootloader is unlocked then you can flash a pre rooted kernel which will give you root.
If you go to the se arc pages look in the stickies all the info you need is there with links to the tools you need.
Hope this helps

Hello
I started this thread for the people who have unlocked their bootloader or their carrier won't allow the ics update(like me )
So... When the official update is out can someone create a ftf file for us to feed our lovely phone?
Tnx.

Wrong Thread..!
And obviously someone will upload the ftf coz most of us here have unlocked bootloaders .

Why wouldn't carrier allow the update? And how you know it?
Also, bootloader can be relocked/restored.
