Is there any .62 rom that can be flashed with stock fw .58?i rooted my lww and now i cant update it ota...please help me
any help?
Use PC companion or the sony Update service to update to 62...OTA with unlocked bootloader is not quite stable...
For SE Update Service : http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
And you can use any custom rom with 58 rooted nd with CWM....no problem at all...
Well is your bootloader unlocked? If it is, just install any custom kernel that's root enabled and download and install a .62 ROM.
If your bootloader isn't unlocked, you shouldn't really be having any problems with OTA updating.
Thank you for your answer but I didn't unlock my bootloader and I just want to know is there any .62 rom that can be flashed with baseband 58

i am just confused with your question.
the title states "Custom rom that can be flashed with fw 58 on lww?"
then your question states:

if OTA does not work on your rooted .58,
you could try flashing another .58 firmware on your phone
for more information check out this thread and this one also.
i think what he ment was: is there a rom that doesn't required an unlock bootloader and based on fw58 or 62.
I been looking for the same but all the custom rooms required a custom kernel which almost mean an unlocked bootloader

here is one that does not need an unlocked bootloader...
Xperia UXP NXT
@melander offtopic sorry! how is hybrom v16 and xkernel 4 working for you?
why you not update your FW to 62?
if your bootloader still locked, i think updating the phone via PCC or Update service is no problem even your phone already rooted
sorry for my bad english

its stable and has a good battery life,
Rooting your phone will not cause any problems with OTA updates to .62, you'll even get to keep root access.
Unlocking the bootloader *does* cause problems with OTA updates.
If all you did was root the phone and not unlock the bootloader it's safe to use OTA. It's what I did do get root on .62 since it was what my phone had when I bought it. Downgraded it to .42 (though .58 also works I couldn't find the ftf for it), root with zergrush and then update back to .62 using OTA. Went like a charm with zero issues.
Hope this helps!
Is there any way I can install Official ICS without the bootloader unlocked & without flashtool?
Surely I can update to it somehow due it being rolled out xperia phones?
My phone is the Xperia Ray.
You have to wait for ICS to release in your region.
OR
You can root and edit build.prop i.e change the CDA string to the ones which have recieved the update and then update it using PC companion.
BUT the most simple way is to flash a ftf file using flashtool .
Flashing official firmwares do not require unlocked bootloader or root

Hmm, I downloaded a firmware posted by a moderator on the sony ericsson forum last night, would that work?
Ok, I'm flashing ICS now.
Hi! i'm a WT19a user with the .58 FW and i want to upgrade to .62 FW, but OTA and PC Companion don't let me update. I want to update by this method, don't wan't to flash new rom or another things.
thx in advance!

Is your bootloader unlocked?
If you have your bootloader unlock, it's impossible to make the MAJ by PC Compagnion or OTA
Make the MAJ by FlashTools with new firmwares !
Tapatalké depuis mon SK17i
No, my bootloader is locked.
Maybe the update is not available (yet) for your region.
Is it maybe a driver issue? Does the program give you a reason what's the problem? You could also try uninstalling and reinstalling the program.

If you still can't update to .62 via OTA, then just flash it with a WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.58_UK Generic(1254-1868).ftf. It updates via OTA.
Make a backup of your region's firmware though if you wanna claim warranty later.

bootloader unlocking and rooting has nothing to do with flashing through PCC. just connect and if it says update do it...... u will only get problem if u flashed a custom rom.... if u flash custom u wont get update via PCC.... wait for a .tft file of ics...... i bet some one will eventually post it( and hopefullyearlier than the default PCC of ur region ).... then just flash it via flash tool..... if u find a .tft of ics sola the follow only the first step of this link

With an unlocked bootloader you cant update via pcc. You can either relock your phones bootloader and flash a stock rom or wait for someone to upload a ftf and flash it via flashtool

Thanks so for relocking does the rooting matter or do i have to do something to revert back the rooting also .. or just relocking is enough
Your phone won't boot after the relock so you'll have to flash a stock rom

Yup, that's the method which I use to relock my bootloader, (have done it two times already...will do it today again...getting ready for ICS )
will my phone be still rooted
hey im just wondering, will my phone be still rooted if i'll update via flashtool using a tft for ics sola or would it revert back to a non rooted phone? i hope it does stay to be rooted because i enjoy my rooted jb sola atm.

I have a new sk17i and I wanted to update it to ICS but all three methods I tried (OTA, PC Companion and SEUS) just tell me I'm on the latest software (Gingerbread). Have Sony taken the official ICS update down due to there being no SE anymore or maybe because I read a lot of negative feedback regarding the ICS update. The phone did update the Gingerbread version when I switched it on so I'm inclined to think that the reported bugs in ICS are the problem... does anyone know anything about this?
thnx in advance

There is one more method to update using Flashtool. Using flashtool just flash the 4.1.B.0.587 Stock ICS FTF for XMP. There are many good guides which tell you step by step how to flash a stock rom using Flashtool.
Note :- This works on locked bootloader too and DOES NOT void your warranty.
