Ok this is my question.
If you update to ICS 4.0.4 and want root it seems like you need to flash the kernel from 4.0.3 to be able to root according to some guides I checked our.
But how should we that use mini/mini pro that will get the update directly from Gb 2.3.4 to ICS 4.0.4 be able to root since we don't have any kernel from 4.0.3 to use?
Or can we root anyway?
Just wanted to check all this before the update arrives because if I can't root I will stay on Gb until root is possible.
Sorry if it's a noob question

Other Way to root is to downgrade to gingerbread [Android 2.3] build number .42 or .58 using flashtools and the root it using any method and then using local.prop method and then flash ICS rom and root it..

If you have unlocked boot loader you can try to flash the rootable kernel of Neo V 4.0.3 and test. It might just work. The phone will not boot. That's for sure. But it might just be able to allow to be pushed with the su and superuser files.
You can experiment if you want. Or, as my friend pointed up stairs you can check my tutorial and root it by android emulator hack.
Thanks,
Rick.

hi,
i have xperia neo and i rooted it before using DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
i updated software using pc companion to 4.0.2.A.62 i lost root but superuser was still installed
i tried to unroot it and root again but no luck superuser.apk is read only and all rooting methods don't work for me
please help i tried everything even factory reset but the superuser is still there and i can't remove it to root again
P.S: is there any way without needing to flash rom ?
Build .62 is currently unrootable so when you updated the firmware it probably broke it. I think the only way to fix it is to flash the rom.
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
yea you are right..
you must downgrade to .42 for root option..
Thanks guys for the reply.
the problem was solved after i downgraded to .42 and then used FlashTool to root the device if someone had the same problem and wanted to solve it
unfortunately the firmware i downloaded from the form is international version and doesn't have the Arabic language user interface, i will just have to live with it
.62 is rootable, using recovery. You need to flash RootXperia.zip with recovery for locked bootloaders.
Cheers.

Ita not required root man, just usb debugging on and unknown sources on.

I've tried that and it doesn't work.
When you try to install CWM it says that you need allow root access on the screen, but nothing will happen since you don't have root yet.
I had to downgrade.

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.

Why wait? Why don't u do it yourself? If you have an unlocked bootloader then it's pretty much very easy. Just go to the dev section and you will find an easy TUT for rooting devices with unlocked bootloaders. I upgraded my device yesterday then unlocked the bootloader then rooted it. Now I'm running ICS with root and custom kernel so that I can overclock it too. Do it yourself buddy. Don't wait for others to get things done.

Yeah you are right, my Sk17i is okay,but I got black screen with WT19i....
Now can not flash using flash tool. it give flashing error..Any solution?
FTF file cannot be made to a PreRooted one.
If you have rooted GB, you can upgrade to a rooted ICS - i did it thanks to this thread since i wanted to keep my bootloader locked.
If you dont have rooted GB, there are plenty of threads that explain how to do it, basically you would need to downgrade to .58 or .42 and root it using zergrush metod. Afterwards go to that link and flash it to rooted ICS (just follow the steps in that thread)

Install busybox from the play store (1.19.4 worked for me) and then use SE Extreme Tweak Installer for CWM

Hi everyone, 20 minutes ago I updated my L9 to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (v20b), and it's fantastic. Now what I ask you is: How can I install Clockwork Recovery and official Cyanogenmod 10.1?
I would like to know this too. I need to find a root method for mac, and a simple explanation. The rest i can figure out. I just got jelly bean yesterday on my P769<3

U need to unlock bootloader for installing any custom rom.
If u dont want to unlock bootloader, root ur device and use cwm 1.5 by artas
Sent from my LG-P765 using xda app-developers app
And do root your device the only method is in ICS so if you want root you need to downgrade to ICS get root and then use Voodoo Root keep then update to jellybean again... hope that answers some questions...
