I have Xperia Ray with Software 4.0.A.2.368 which I ONLY Rooted.
I am getting messages that a New Update 4.0.2.A.0.42 Available.
1) Should I Update my Phone to newest version? I heard 4.0.2.A.0.42 is giving Reboot loops and problems
2) I am already Rooted on 4.0.A.2.368, If I have to Update, I should do with PC companion or Some OTHER method?
3) Is the Root for 4.0.2.A.0.42 available? I want to remain Stock but just Rooted. Nothing else.

Well thanks... That was I guess the best help I could get here... I guess this section isnt much helpful...
I am HTC user and not used Sony much before.. My brother got Xperia Ray and he wanted to install some rooted applications that my HTC has with Latest OTA...
I didnt know much about Sony so therefore I called for help... I had to spend almost 6 hours to learn everything about it MYSELF.. First 4 hrs spent on solving the problem that FlashTool was just searching for my Mobile and Not detecting it..I couldnt even Update it..:-S
Atlast I had to update via Wifi.. i didnt want to do in first case coz I was afraid of Bricking it via OTA which I read in many threads here.. But then Had to take risk..
You guys cud hav saved me 6 hrs by just spending 5 mins on replying me what to do...

3. you can root .42 with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190 it's easy ....

Thank you very much!
I am hesitant to root my phone because of this.
I want to root my phone to remove those apps/processes that automatically run in the background because it really eats up my ram. Also, without affecting the capability of updating it to ics.
I would like to ask what is the best method to root my phone (wt19i) without unlocking the bootloader?
Thank you very much for the response.
check this for rooting-

Sony Ericsson Xperia TM PLAY
Sony Ericsson Xperia TM arc
Sony Ericsson Xperia TM arc S
Sony Ericsson Xperia TM neo
Sony Ericsson Xperia TM neo V
Sony Ericsson Xperia TM pro
Sony Ericsson Xperia TM mini
Sony Ericsson Xperia TM mini pro
Sony Ericsson Xperia TM ray

Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman

is easy to do with out help if u need help tell me .
i done it with Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman
When i flash stock rom in htc magic the boot loader, kerner and all others go to stock so it was lock
I think with sony is the same
I have a question.
When the ICS Update comes out, we'll have to update our phones, would it be like flashing our phone? I mean, will the apps, and data can be lost? And what about root? Will it be lost? Thanks in advance.

You'll be able to do so somehow, don't worry, using flash tool or Wotan. Don't worry, where's will, there's a way... And in here, will is always turn on.

there are methods to root and install cwm without unlocking the bootloader (atleast for the 2011 xperia line),I havent unlocked the bootloader and still have tried flashing files to the stock rom
If the bootloader is locked,u will get official updates,otherwise u can flashtool to flash the new firmwares(obviously the .ftf files will be made available on file sharing websites).
I have unlocked the boot loader of my ST15i and flashed CM7.2.0 . The phone is working great. Now I also want to know how to re lock bootloader so that I can update with SEUS when ICS will be available from SE after 3 months.
I have seen a method for Xperia arc in its forum. Can I follow that ? Is it reliable ?
relock bootloader

As per my knowledge its not possible to get bootloader relocked as it was and get the DRM back,
but you can try this method to use sues and all that stuff
Don't forget to read block red letter line
Click Here
By this you will be able to update phone software and all that stuff,try at your own risk as i haven't tried to relock my bootloader by this method.And its for Xperia Arc as you said but can be useful for ST15i too....
Refer link Relock Bootloader Of Xperia Models video tutorial
Finally i i took a brave step and tried the relocking procedure of Xperia Arc on Xperia Mini and it worked I was having my heart in my mouth all the time . Before relocking i flashed my Xperia Mini with Stock ROM using WotanServer Client. Maybe this thread will help other ST15i users.
I knew it would work
I had checked the results for ST15i before i posted link from Chinese website
Congrats
Thank you, it was helpfull.
Hi all,
I have an Xperia ray on GB 2.3.4 and have a major problem with the screen. Most of the times when booting up the phone, the screen is blank/black but the backlight seems to be working and I can still interact with the display i.e. slide unlocking the phone and can hear the sound as well.
From time to time, the phone works as normal but this issue is there as soon as I decide to shutdown/restart the phone.
Help will be appreciated.

Oh man. I got this issue too on my good ol' Ray. I think it happened because I dropped it. I also lost the blue led on the home button arc, now instead of white it turns on yellow :/
Anyway, has anyone gotten his replaced\fixed after getting this problem? I had the bootloader unlocked with the wire method (s1tool or whatever it was called), then I relocked it after I hard bricked it once sometime last year, I hope they don't notice it and replace mine under warranty.
Man this sucks.

try it many times and never worked as it is a hadware problem (heating) and software not the only way to fix it was flash 3.0.8 kernel nAa 02 kernel making this pledge is to make the screen twice and with that I have not always latch-on problems hotter than this the phone

Hello that such, you tried with flashtool and checking the boxes wipe data? maybe that helps you sometimes you get stuck on sony logo not to make a full wipe test of nueco installing it with flashtool and tell us how you did
Well all was checked, wipe data etc. I don't know what my friend did but I tought I can revive it by using pc companion but nothing change. I have download stock ics ftf, flash it with flashtool and all boxes has been check. But nothing change.

Updates are region and/or provider dependant.
You can take your chances and flash generic world formware.

I want to do it so i can root my phone, but since I've never done this, I'm a bit insecure and hesitant.
From the research I've done rooting my Xperia P is preferred to be done with the latest firmware which I don't have.
What would you suggest I do? I am completely new to this.

Like before you do anything with your phone, take a full backup with PC Companion, and backup other data it doesn't manually.
Then you will need to download and install flashtool, install the drivers for Xperia P, flash mode, and fastboot mode with the drivers installer from drivers directory under flashtool directory.
Find and download generic 6.2.A.1.100 firmware file and flash it.
Exclude TA when you flash.
I have my firmware uploaded here, it's a two part 7-Zip, archive.
You may look for others that are more sutable for your region.
To root 6.2.A.1.100 use DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.
My phone is acting really crazy and I can't do a backup with PC Companion, nor with the phone app for backup, but I don't care anymore.
I'll try everything you suggested and let you know if it worked.
Thanks a lot, you have been more than helpful. I really appreciate it.
