hi iv had an xperia s for a few month now at the moment im rooted on the .73 firmware with a unlocked bootloader.. wot i want help with is can i update to the latest ics 6.1.A.0.452 firmware and still have the root or will it go back to unrooted
also i have a notififcation on my phone saying a update available to .75 firmware but it say only able to update using pc companion is this firmware the ics one and will i still have root after the update
The 75 update is android 2.3.7 gb...
I would suggest flashing the stock ICS build using flash tool and then 're root using the pre rooted system.img ( flash in fastboot mode)
There is a tutorial on the dev forum!

I've rooted my X10 with superoneclick and installed xrecovery. Will any of this have unlocked or modified the bootloader? Will flashing a custom ROM alter the bootloader? Would any of these scenarios prevent the eventual the upgrade to Gingerbread using PC Companion?
Thanks
Your bootloader is still locked.
It may be possible that we have to flash an unmodded firmware before we can update to 2.3.3

The x10 bootloader is still locked. It has not been cracked yet, there has only been a bypass method perfected in order to load custom kernals.
When the official SE 2.3.3 update comes all you will have to do is flash back to stock 2.1 and use SEUS to update to the 2.3.3
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..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613
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.

hey thanks but ive flashed my firmware to a custom one
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.

This version of firmware is better than the 62 '??????
worked with the NXT rom v1.3???
THX
The 69 firmware was released in Germany and just for Germany. It is the same like the 62 firmware. The only thing is that the 66 baseband works great for me coz im in Germany. Thanks for Uploading.
Geil endlich maln Deutscher hier

Zergrush and superoneclick didn't work, so no. But if you have a locked bootloader you can downgrade to 62 and root this than update with pc companion to 69, should be working. Not update OTA coz you lost root.

Yes I too believe .62 firmware is unrootable via zerg / superoneclick OR doomkernel OR flashtool..
The only way I READ that .62 possible to root is by flashing an older stock kernel... which I tried, and failed to even flash the kernel itself (I read that it's possible to flash stock older kernel to locked bootloaders)
Perhaps I am doing it wrong if it IS possible. Let me know too.
Using this at moment , after test so much Roms go back to stock is better for me,
Used this :

As long as your bootloader is NOT unlocked you should be able to update via OTA without problems.
