[Q] Update to .62 - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

If i update from rooted .58 to .62 using SEUS or PC Companion will i still have the root ?
my phone is sk17i (Locked Bootloader)

......nope

Since yur bootloader is locked, yu can use SEUS to update but yur phone wont be root..... Also i dont think v.62 can be rooted, so i advice yu stick to v.58!

[Q] bootloader question

I've rooted my X10 with superoneclick and installed xrecovery. Will any of this have unlocked or modified the bootloader? Will flashing a custom ROM alter the bootloader? Would any of these scenarios prevent the eventual the upgrade to Gingerbread using PC Companion?
Thanks
Your bootloader is still locked.
It may be possible that we have to flash an unmodded firmware before we can update to 2.3.3

The x10 bootloader is still locked. It has not been cracked yet, there has only been a bypass method perfected in order to load custom kernals.
When the official SE 2.3.3 update comes all you will have to do is flash back to stock 2.1 and use SEUS to update to the 2.3.3

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

How to root stock xperia mini with .62?? HELP PLEASE

I lost my root when i upgraded to .62.. How to I root it now?? theres this thread but I dont know how to use it..

The easiest way is downgrade to 0.42 with wotanserver, root your phone with doomlords method, and then update OTA (over the air) that is to update directly from your phone not using your pc.Also there is this method.
if you are on stock rom .62 and have unlocked bootloader
the best way is flashing a custom kernel, like bbooff kernel.
This is stock kernel .62 only added CWM and root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161
next way is flash back stock rom .42 via flashtool and stock rom (you have to download it)
or use www.WotanServer.com ( it is free for SE Users ) flash back to .42 or .58 then root and then try update from your handy to .62 use update center and option update over wlan
------------
i used flashtool and stockrom .42. rooted with superoneclick and then updated via update center ( using wlan) to .62. and root was still there
and now i´m using bbooff kernel, because CWM is installed in kernel and not in system (rom) partition and it works with stock rom or hybrom, not tested any other custom roms right now.

Unlock Bootloader - downgrading

if i want to downgrade my FW from .62 i must unlock bootloader?
there is no way to root .62 fw, right?
yeah, no way to root .62
if u want to root, flash to .58 fw,
or use custom kernel.
sent from my Walkman
To flash firmware u dont need to unlock bootloader. Unlocking is needed to boot custom kernels.

Just one more question
If i unlock bootloader can i connect phone to PC Companion or SEUS(update sevice) an clik on REPAIR PHONE and trick it to download firmware and before it finish downloading i disconnect phone and then make ftf file from blob-fs folder and flash it with flash tool.
Will it detect my phone, can this be done???
And can i flash ftf with stock firmware to phone with unlocked bootloader?

If you have unlocked bootloader, PCC and US won't even start downloading.
