Use Flashtool to put back the .42 or .58 software, root it, and then update via Update Center on the phone. After the update, the phone will be still rooted until you do a factory reset.

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if there is any (tested) method of rooting xperia pro with firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62. My phone is unlocked. I have no idea if my bootloader is locked or unlocked...
Some say they rooted this firmware, some say they failed, and I would like to know for sure if there is any way to root it.
The reason I want to root my phone is mainly to remove the annoying preintalled apps.
Any help would be great. Thanks!
How To Root Xperia Pro MK16I 4.0.2.A.0.62
I had to downgrade the software back down to version 4.0.2.A.0.58 in order to root the phone. My thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22619413#post22619413 refers.
Unfortunately, as yet, nobody seems to have posted a simple method of rooting the phone with version 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Cheers

I have a rooted 4.0.1.A.0.283.
Will the phone stay rooted if I upgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.62?
Thanks in advance,
Danny
as long as you update it OTA it should keep rooted.
updating with PC companion will remove the root access

Thanks for the info.
Did you try updating it already?
Yes , I tried it , now I'm having rooted .62 baseband on my Xperia Pro and CWM installed. Good luck on it !
Is there a way to directly root my Xperia Neo to remove the stock applications and then unroon it again for the warranty to be active, without downgrading the firmware ?!

I think there is still no simple way of rooting our .62 firmwares other than the downgrade trick...
its just simple...just follow the instructions...Ive been doing that always...
but what I did was, when I was at .62 via OTA update, I immediately made a back-up of the system via CWM...so everytym I downgrade and root + CWM, I just flash the back-up...that's just it for me, but I think other Users has their own way of doing it...

As I said I need a direct method, without downgrading to .42 ! Your thread is with downgrading so it wont help me ... And also without unlocking the bootloader, cuz my warranty will fly away ... Cuz I want to be able to root/unroot the phone anytime ... I cant always downgrade to .42 and upgrade it again ... That's the point ...

Well, unless you have unlocked bootloader, there is no direct method to root .62.

If you unlock BL by test point (unoficial method) you not lose anything! If you unlock BL by official method, read this http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

Model Number: SK17a
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-perf
Build Number: 4.0.2.A.0.62
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
No network/sim locks or anything other than bootloader. Is my phone unrootable? No other threads helped so I thought I would just post a thread with my phones information and ask. Is .62 unrootable or something?
Yes .62 Cannot Rooted Directly,You need to Downgrade .58 and Get Root

I didn't think you could downgrade with a locked bootloader? I cannot unlock my bootloader either.

but it does not matter, you can flash firmware with a ftf extension that you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792 with flash tool

What do you mean by upgrade? Just reflashing 4.0.2.A.62?

Yep you can root with the method in this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792 and then you flash to 4.0.2.A.62 firmware again with flash tool or over the air (OTA) on your phone

There's also a pre-rooted .62 packed inside a flashable .zip somewhere among the hundreds of tutorials floating around, just make sure you look hard enough, I don't have the link handy at the moment.
Unlock your bootloader and get pre-rooted kernels to avoid this kind of problems.
BTW why not just go with ICS? mine's been running fine with it.
It says no proper root access.
Rooted on .58 successfully, updated to .62 but now it is no longer rooted.

Just posting in order to confirm this. It worked flawlessly on my XMP.
Please note that your phone will be LAGGING LIKE HELL until you run the second script. This is normal, so don't panic

Err, no, you got it wrong, buddy, I did root my XMP with the same method, but it was months ago. I just felt like hitting the thanks button because it's most probably going to solve his problem, thus being helpful
