unfortunately root not working on the new 4.0.2.a.0.62

---

which phone?

---

my device is xperia neo ... also arc, play, and other phones have received the update

---

unfortunately the only way to root after updateing to 4.0.2.a.0.62 is to flash the 4.0.2.a.0.42 Kernal with flashtool, Im pretty sure you don't need unlocked bootloader to flash original SE Kernals... so just flash the old Kernal and you should be able to root again..
Otherwise if its not too late for other users I would just stay away from the new update until there is an easy rooting method, the update doesn't offer any real advantages.. AFAIK only a few minor bug fixes.
Have a great Christmas!

i have a question: if sony will upgrade the phone (maybe 0.62) or later this year
to ics, i will lose the root access?

Just download the RootXperia.zip file to your sd card,
