why i cant update my phoone?
You're gonna have to be more specific. How do you even know that the rooting is the problem?
Tell us how you tried to update, what kind of error message you got etc.
First i flash my phone to 0.42 to root, and it went successfully. After that, i try to update to 0.62. when the update process finished then my phone reboot ...and the notification message said that *update could not install try update software again*
** i update via OTA
You used files from this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866 ?
Just seen Reck1993 post, yesterday I too rooted my Neo (MT15i) following the instructions from the tutorial and I too with .62 do not have ota update available.
Though I'm not too bothered as I realize there will be no more up dates to GB from Sony and it will probably months before ics comes to the uk for for the neo and reading some of the comments in this forum with the .562 nordic it's probably not worth it.
Oh this problem is there because you deleted some system apps.
Flash back to .42 again, and then root, now do OTA update to .62
for me thanks, but as I said I'm not too bothered, there'll be no GB updates from sony, and ICS is wishful thinking, I'll stick with it as it is.

do you have SE core apps removed from the phone?
no mine is running standard generic world 2.1, debranded on vodafone rooted with z4
I got a update message on monday, when i got home it said my phone was up to date hmmmmmmmm.
i'm running generic world 2.1, i get nothing on the ota, pc companion and seus. however, i wonder if this has something to do with removing the semcsync apk from system/app. and that's why the ota update isn't showing for ota update for me.
i think tonight i'll try flashing the rom, leaving it as is, and trying the updates to see if i get it.
I got the UK generic update ages ago... could this be a further update? OTA update check on mine says nothing available..

Yes, this is another update that should be OTA.
Just received a new Xperia Ray locked to Orange. I have tried both the software update service and PC companion but both say my phone is up to date on 2.3.4.
The sony site says an upgrade is available for the phone (I even followed the link and upgraded my wife's Arc-S last night) but directs to install PC companion.
Orange suggest using the update function on the phone but none of these are updating; they all say I have latest firmware.
I checked the SI list and my code isnt there (well, not entirely) its SI 1254-3795.5
That last bit after the hypen doesn't relate to anything in that list.
Any idea how I can get it updated without rooting? Although there is a bit of Orange shovelware on there I would like to lose.
Phone was bought on 10th May from Orange online.
ICS 4.0.3 has been distributed to all ray a month ago. A new ICS 4.0.4 is rolling out but there are numerous people claiming their SI number are in the list but update service says they have the latest firmware. I for myself has that problem. This must be a problem from sony server.

Is there any way of getting the firmware and flashing it legally?
I presume from the Orange shovelware I mentioned that I am going to have to wait for Orange to release an update (complete with more of their stuff I dont want)?
Just found this on the Sony support forum:
Even if SI numbers are added for the cell phones, updating the phones will not be possble, as Sony Xperia Support team Member Johan, said that there's some problem with the server, and so people runining GB currently will not be able to update using PCC or SUS. We need to wait, for the update to resume again, and all the problems with the servers removed.
Looks like patience is needed or I flash manually...
Or if your phone is branded, the operator might have blocked the updates for your phone. Then you have to contact Orange.
Can I flash it manually with the Nordic firmware without unlocking anything or rooting?

Hi can you comfirm if your text and gmail app is working on your nordic firmware

Gmail wont send photo attchments it says sent but never shows up on other end

Thank you
I've got the same problem with my Orange UK Ray, my issue is that's it's on a contract through work so I'm not sure I'm allowed to update the software unless I use the Sony website.
I contacted Orange to find out if they have a date for ICS on the Ray, they quoted "end of the year - more likely December rather than November"! I'm desperate for ICS, does anyone know if I void the contract if I upgrade to ICS by flashing the Nordic software?

I have an Orange UK Xperia Ray and got bored of waiting for ICS so I flashed mine to a stock 4.03 Central European firmware, which then updated to official 4.0.4 through PC Companion. This was a couple of months ago but Maps / Navigation is not as stable as GB, having frozen a couple of times so have mixed feelings. Flashing different firmware to the one it shipped with invalidates your warranty AFAIK...
If anyone has a copy of the UK Orange FW for SI 1254-3795 in .ftf format I would appreciate it for the stability and warranty, seeing as an official update is on the horizon.
Guys i've one simple question.
MY Atrix is already unlock and it under stock rom.
my question is,
is there any side effect when ever i try to update my device via Over the air update, when ICS Come?
If you are on a stock rom then it should update just fine.
unlocked boot loader probably won't help,thats why when I updated mine to .141 and it relocked it,I just left it that way.
If your bootloader is unlocked and your are running a custom rom then you shouldnt get OTA updates and if you do they will probably lead to issues. If you want the stock motorola ICS i suggest waiting till it comes out flashing back to the stock 2.3.6 and the manually upgrading to ICS
Sir how do i know if i have a stock firmware?
My Cousin gave this to me, and i didn't know if it's stock or not.
by the way i can't ask him, hi out of the country for good T_T

Check for "unlocked" at top left of the boot image screen, download and run "root checker" from playstore, it will let you know if the device has been rooted. android version should be 2.3.6 and build ends with 141. Sorry, it's been a while since I've run stock ROM.
sir my version is gb si 2.3.4 T_T but when i check the Software update via On-the-air-Firware no update available. T_T
sorry i've so many question
How can I upgrade to stock ICS from 2.3.7? Sony website told me that I ready have the latest rom, but the system information shows that I'm still in 2.3.7. Is there any reason why I can't upgrade?
Thanks,
J
What phone?
Forget to mention, it's sola.
Make sure you have the latest PC Companion, you can also use Sony Update Service to update your phone. If it still doesn't show you an update then search the ftf file for your phone and flash it via flashtool.
My current version of Xperia Z ultra is 14.6.A.0.368. I have rooted the same. Now new version 14.6.A.1.216 is released, I can update it through OTA or through flashtool.
My question is that if I update through OTA, will I loose the Root or not. Is there any steps through which I can update and preserve my Root status.
Please reply.

If your system is currently rooted, especially if you out your apps have applied any changes to the /system partition. the OTA will download but will not flash. So effectively you will not be able to upgrade via OTA, let alone lose root.
I have posted instructions to upgrade to 216 with root in the general section:
