Hi. I have xperia ray, GB .42 rooted and cwm too. S I 1251 4132.
I want to upgrade to official ics from sony.
Can i update it with PCC????
I read that upgrading with Pcc can brick my phone cos my phone has been rooted. Is that true ???
Or my root just close????
Please help...
I am sorry a lot of questions and i really need the answer.
By the way, thank u very much, cos i am really confusing right know

Hi, you are absolutely able to upgrade by PCC, even your phone is rooted. it also won't make your phone brick.
but if your phone is unlockbootloader through Sony official methode, it will brick your phone.
updating via pcc nor seus makes your root status break. so you must re-root after upgrading.
Thank u
I read many posts here and also on sony talk....
Ics run great if the SI number has the same with ics room....
I read the list for ics 4.0.4 SI number that can be upgrade to ics..
But i havent understand yet...
Or i have to use custom room like cm9 but i dont want to unlock my bootloader
Thanks anyway

just connect your phone to pcc and you will see if 4.0.4 is out for your phone and update if it is, you wont brick your phone but you have to root phone again
My SI number is on the list...
It means that i can upgrade, right?
By the way...
Is the rom just for indonesia country or not?
I dont understand about this SI number..
Or this official ics can be upgrade by anybody if they have same SI number as mine????

Does repairing from SUS or PCC need locked bootloader?
I have a unlocked bootloader from the official website of sony
And running cm7
I want to repair my neo v as all the roms related to cm7 are lagging
It wasnt like this before bt afta some months of daily changing roms and kernel cm7 cm9 miui lags
And i even flashed ftf files bt did not got any result
So i want to repair using SUS or PCC which is good for repairing? And does both of them need my cell again to be relocked?
Plz help n plz reply

Yes you need locked bl, other way you cant update
So if i relock it using the ftf file found in xperia mini forums for relocking bootloader n afta the repair how do i unlock the bootloader again
Sorry for the noob question bt do i have to request a new unlock code from official site?

No, it will flash fw for same region which you have on your phone at the moment.
Only locked bootloaders can update through sony companion or bridge for mac
If you have unlocked ur bootloader, you can easily search forums at XDA to relock ur bootloader and get updates from sony !
Is there any difference between serial no. xxxx-xxxx but same region
Is there any trick or something that it can flash back or repair to my original firmware?

Only if you know your original CDF(customization) number. And no, that's not the one written on the back of your phone.

so finally the thread about ICS upgrade of LWW is updated with the SI numbers, and my SI number is NOT listed! and PC companion says "Your phone is upto date"
my SI number 1253-8865, and its not in the list. "We will continue to add items in the list as soon as they are released." in the official thread is keeping my fingers crossed!
anybody else facing this situation?

Carrier/operator is able to block the updates to phones if phone is branded.

You can but not (correct me if I'm wrong) the official way, so to speak. Rolling back to older version of sola stock rom would require some basic skills in boot loader unlocking, flashing image etc.
Just search for "unlocking", "flashing" within the forum. HTH.
Please do not post Q&A in a development section.

If you rooted your .431, you don't need downgrade to gb, run step III from your rooted 431 and follow instruction ( in step 4 flash 587 ftf instead 431, you can fimd ,587 ftf for your phone in this forum) and ( recommend to use flashtool to flash your 587 rom ft f)

Here you should check this thread up. Though I was hoping someone can explain the flashing kernel part to me.
I've tried to update to .587 OTA and got "could not install" error after reboot =/
Hi guys,
My apologizes if its been asked already. From my quick research it hasn't.
So, the GF just got an Xperia Ray (essentially the same phone) its on 2.3.3 and she would like to update it to 2.3.4 and NOT ICS.
She says that when she launches Sony Update Service the program only asks to update to ICS...
Any idea?
Would like to keep the official updating method here;
Thanks in advance.
yea SUS only gives you the ICS update..but it might give you the GB update when the new one (4.0.2.A.0.84) releases.. (if it releases )

Yea in fact I checked her phone last weekend and there was 4.0.2.A.0.62 OTA update available, she just thought it was Android 4.0. I must admit its pretty misleading.
So updated it and done!
