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.

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

Use flashtool to flash latest firmware, you can find flashtool and latest firmware ftf file on development section.

or simply use flashtool or wotanserver.
Hi. First. I already search and not found for solution. My ray BL unlocked and rooted. Then I tried to update to 2.3.4 via OTA and bricked. Already fix it. Decided to stay at 2.3.3 and wait for ICS. But the problem is I still got the "could not install" notification.
How to remove the notification and remove the ota update files?
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.

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!

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
