I am a newbie too,
but you'll probably won't be getting any answers if you post such questions,
start searching before posting, either in this forum or google.

Have the same problem...my phone was rooted on '42, nut now on 62....GRRRRRR...I want to get off from non-stop background process and boring app's from phone..S keep on looking fore doomslord easy root tool
If you are on rooted firmware .42 or .58 flash the zipfile in my signature over you rooted firmware what you now have only .42 or .58 and you have not do a clean install or wipe things just flash the zipfile and peeps you dont need unl bl to do this.
Cheers
I guess you have locked bootloader. You can try with RootXperia.zip method with CWM recovery for locked bootloaders.
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20671610&postcount=14
I also updated to .62 fw but didn't tried this method, as I haven't got time.
Hmm, you can also try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446308
Although you will need to flash old .42 or .58 version with flash tool.
Not sure how this one is preroot-ed but I guess same as above with RootXperia.zip, I mean with same files.
EDIT: Yeah,just realized that my first suggestion wont work, because you need root access to install cwm

2 ways:
1) Flash using Wotanserver, search about it on this forum
2) Flash using flashtool with .42 .tft file firmware.

You can try this ...... (I can't post the links because I'm new here. Who want to know please give me a PM and I'll show the links) . I follow first one and it worked for me. I have a Neo with .62 fw unlocked but the solution is good for locked phones too. Is a very easy tutorial and quick to apply it.
I ask moderators to not warm me again to move my post on other tread (like before). I try to find on this forum 2 days a solution to root my neo but I found only few ways complicated and not good for me. I couldn't post any question on some treads where peoples discuss about this because I'm new here and is a stupid rule what is forbidden this. If I'm new is not mean that I'm stupid too.
Thanks.

So if you found some new method, which isn't already explained in (at least) 2 threads, tell us.
For locked BL you have this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866
For unlocked BL: simply get kernel which have recovery, and flash rootxperia.zip

Hi FastDuck, I really glad to your explanation about how to root this (377) firmware, but there are some questions about that.
How to make unsecured boot.img file?
How to flash the signed 377 kernel.sin to boot section?
Please tell me, I'm really noob about this one
You can check out the developer section of this forum. There are lots of posts and threads regarding this. I'm sure you'll find what you need

To make an unsecure boot.img.. Long story short.. You need to decompress the Kernel.sin from the firmware. Extract the ramdisk. Change a properties file. Repck the ramdisk with the kernel image.. Very short version.. Download boot.img from the developer thread.
You flash the kernel.sin same way as boot.img.
Fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

You just bumped an 6 months old topic
Anyway, it is better to root without unlocking bootloader.
Read my tutorial, if you want to root, link in signature.
I flashed to 4.0.1.A.0.283 Generic Global rom but now I want to revert to stock rom and I want root with easy way. What can I do?
Why using that old fw??
Flash .42 fw, and root it with DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit.
Everything is in STICKY thread in development section.
Which is why I suggest you, first read sticky threads and other ones, then ask questions.

Because My phone was .062 I unlocked bootloader, installed this rom but my phone bricked when I tried to root. Now I unbricked and still have this rom. Can I update to .42 fw?
I tried to relock bootloader with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335
Flashtool said flashing done and my phone worked. I checked but it says still unlock.

For Neo V
01.Flash to 0.42 fw using flashtool
02.Root and install CWM
03.Download this & install it with cwm,just install.No need to wipe anything
(If your boot loader is unlocked use this instead )
And you have rooted,cwm installed 0.62 fw
For Neo
01.Flash to 0.42 fw using flashtool
02.Root and install CWM
I cannot find a proper link like the Neo v one for Neo,I guess you have to unlock boot loader to root Neo in 0.62 fw.There is nothing much upgraded anyway in 0.62 comparing to 0.42.So no harm in staying 0.42.And next time please mention what phone do you own(Neo or Neo V ) please.
Anyway if u did little research before asking this I'm pretty sure you would've found the answer already in Neo V android development section mate.
My phone have unlock bootloader. that's why I can't flash an another fw. Because it can be brick.

Not true - where did you get that notion from?
I did understand if you did ota or flash, your phone could be brick. So Can I flash .42 fw now?

OTA can brick your phone, but flash shouldn't. Why I say shouldn't? Because if you follow instructions everything will be ok. Follow link I gave you, and flash .42 fw with flahtool.

I have done my homework but i can't root st15a. I can't downgrade from .68 to .42 using wotanserver because is paid now. Using flashing tool I cant find (and I've tried a lot) .42.ftf Latin America. Since I'm from Brazil and I should use this firmware, what happens if I use .42.ftf CE? It will only chance the language to English?
Thanks
why not just get a custom rom which is pre-rooted!!! or search tha forum maybe yhu can get ftf file for rootable firmware versions.
generic ftfs would work i guess, since i haven't tried i cant be sure of that.
and since you are going to root i suggest the DooMlLoRDs method. say thanks to him if you used it

I am not a noob..have played alott with HTC and samsung phones...but sony seems to b a different ball game all together..i hv been reading threads since the last two days to unlock the bl of my neo v..and flash roms and stuff...
but there are a couple of qstns that are bothering me...
1-I wanted to install KA20.1 Ics rom..since its official stripped down ics... but it needs unlocked bootloader. i am currently running gb..2.3.4 .62...
first i though of rooting and using gb as it is.. but now since ics is here i am inclined to use ics
so here is my question..
If i unlock my bootloader..and then flash official ics using flashtool..will the bootloader get locked again?? will it create any kind of issue for me with regard to using flashtool and flashing official ics?? if yes then what..
will it have to b unlocked again???
and the next question
Everything remains the same in case of jj hybrid rom also??
but i wud appreciate all the help i can get ..cz whatever i learn i always give it back to the forum..
xda rocks..
cheers...

No.
Though not sure what you meant by "flashing official ics". If you meant with flashtool, then answer is still no.
If you meant on using PCC or SEUS then answer depends how you unlock your BL. IF you unlock it unofficial way, with s1tool, then you won't have any problem. If you unlock it via IMEI code from Sony developer page, then you won't be able to use PCC or SEUS until you relock your BL(which is done by flashing 1 ftf file).
And for both official and unofficial way worth rule, do not use OTA updates. For official way, that's 100% correct, while for unofficial way, some report problems, some don't have them.

You mean 2 -ve battery pins? Yeah, only connect to 1, it's enough. Or you can also connect it to simcard holder, as I read, people also do that. Point is to ground it, whatever method you want

I don't like OTA, and after you unlock your BL it will be smart not to use it, as we told above.
And if you unlock your BL it's much easier to root it, as I wrote, check that thread I linked in this post and try.

I feel lost now. Too much forum search, lots of threads that lead nowhere, methods that don't work.
I want to have Gingerbread 4.0.2.A.0.62 rooted. My phone state today, is descripted in my signature.
I'm on version 58, rooted and with bootloader UNLOCKED and using Rage Kernel.
I can't upgrade OTA becase the bootlader stuff - but I can't Flashtool 4.0.2.A.0.62 either, because the processs makes me loses root.
Why?
I did this before. I Had version 62, downgraded to 58, rooted then flashed 62 and everthiing was ok: 62 rooted and everything ok - but then, I had a locked bootloader.
Is the unlocked bootloader the problem here? (done by the official way). Any way to revert it? There is a post where they called "Relock bootloader" - doesn't work on my Sony.
I think I'm gonna cry
any help will be much appreaciated - please forgive my English :crying:
EDIT : sorry, wrong post, please delete
Flash 0.62, then install any pre-rooted kernel. No need to cry.
