If you have unlocked your bootloader, relock it first, then just update/repair using PC Companion.
Really thanks mate, it's just rooted, I didn't unlocked bootloader because if I had any problem with phone, the locked bootloader would helped with the warranty...
Thanks for the tip mate, I'll try this!

.62 software update just showed up in pc companion today for me, and i have some questions.
i will appreciate anybody taking the time to elighten me.
1. currently my phone uses .58 and is rooted. can i upgrade to .62 or do i have to unroot it first?
2. if answer to question 1 is "yes", will it still be rooted after upgrade?
3. is it worth going to .62, since ICS is expected soon?
(neo v newbie here, dont shoot please!)
thank you.

1: yes you can update, with the zipfile in my signature if you have cwm recovery flash it through there, no unroot needed
2: Yes if you flashing the zipfile in my signature, you dont lose any apps or setting and you dont have any wipe or factory reset to do, just flash through cwm.
Its for locked bl
3: yeah i think so, im waiting to on ICS.
Dont update though pc companion if you will keep root !
well I don't see much difference between 0.42 and 0.62 fw's tbh.Maybe very slight faster ui.Install the zip thedroidboy posted(one in Pandemics sig) with cwm and you will have 0.62 with rooted and cwm already installed.Touch screen repeatedly at bootup after installing the zip to access cwm recovery.
This is if you use pc companion,
1.Yes
2.No,but you can root.But not easy like zergrush exploit.
3.Doubt that,cos well again I am saying I don't find that much differences in 0.42 vs 0.62
thank you.
i guess i will stick to .58 until ICS comes.

Sorry mates.
Sorry my fault and yes you can use this to
it was never locked, so "relocking" it seemed a bit strange. then i read the following answers
i will give it a thought, but i am partial to waiting for ICS, unless i find something not working right in .58 and being fixed in .62
again, thanks for your answers!

hm.. but update service will give him .62 not .42, right? or are you thinking on making prerooted image? hm now i got idea
@ prazadx: are you willing to do clean flash with pc companion or sony update service, then we'll instruct you how to make .62 .ftf, but it will be around 150MB after you zip it, wich you would need to upload..
then if your phone is sim-lock free your fastboot should be open, and it should accept prerooted .img.
even if your bootloader is locked i think it only matter for kernels.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong
its here mate
Just flash this with flashtool (extract using winzip or eqivalent first to get the ftf), root using flashtool, update OTR, install cmw and you are fine.

I'm gonna perform this flashing with flashtool. all i need is to downgrade my current firmware to .42, so that i can root my device. also this is a sim lock free device with a locked bootloader.
is there any other way to root without downgrading??
also, thanks mate..
There are another way to root but you need to unlock your bootloader, sorry I cant put links,but if you search right here in this Forum "unlock bootloader" you would see the options to do that.
Definitly this way is the only you have without unlockink bl. Thats all the peoplo say because I cant flash .42 on mine....flashtool stop always before 100% I will format pc...i dont know what other thing can be.
Any suggestion??

Try flashing via flashtool a generic ftf file. You can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936477
Do you want to install ics or gb?
You can also install jb but you will have to unlock bootloader and void your warranty.
Do you know how to use flashtool? There is also a tutorial on YouTube on how to use flashtool.

I suggest you gb as has the better battery life and it's really stable. The choice is yours though. If you need any help or advice and i can help, let me know mate
Forgive me if this is stupid, its the only solution I have been able to come up with to my original issue (here if anyone has a better solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798335)
Because I cant access my recovery I need to flash a stock firmware to basically wipe the slate and start again. The only issue I have is that the only ftf file I can find for the UK is unbranded whilst my phone is locked on EE, if I was to flash the unbranded file will it play nicely or are things going to go from bad to worse? I would guess that it probably wouldn't work, but it there's no harm in checking.
so nobody knows the answer to this?

It should work but I think the SIM won't work. Then again, I don't know anything about locked carriers (Never had one).
If your bootloader is unlocked, try the EMMA service by Sony. It finds your phone's stock firmware if you're on a custom ROM with unlocked bootloader.

Try the Sony Update Service.
It should automatically find the latest firmware for your device and flash it.

Then I'll have one for you.
After updating my xperia few months back, it lost both IMEI's and ability to see sim cards with that. Also the battery started to drain significantly faster.
Now I have unlocked bootloader and rooted it, hoping it would fix it, but it didn't help. ( I've used this guide for rooting https://www.droidwin.com/unlock-bootloader-and-root-sony-xperia-1-iv/) Xperia Companion did not work either, it would just give out an error everytime.
I would imagine getting to stock could solve this, but as I understood Sony don't want you to have a good life and there's no places to get old firmware for my model.
I'm really bad with all of this, so I would be really grateful for any help, to restore my phone from being a tablet.
Did you flashed another firmware? Like US firmware? Because if you did that doesn't work on ct72
Edit: Also companion won't work with unlock bootloader

what doesn't work on ct72?
Companion didn't work before I unlocked bootloader
also should I use newflasher to flash?
Update: tried flashing it with Newflasher and completely bricked it.
Sorry to hear the news. You should of contacted SONY for its warranty if the update was OTA. Unlocking the bootloader usually voids the warranty.

I did, but this model is not from region so they wouldn't help. I think there's still ways to fix it, but doubt I can do it alone without an extensive guide
Also does anyone know if there's ways to lock bootloader without access to fastboot?

If your bootloader isn't unlocked then companion should work have you try restoring with that?

Dang! I wonder if SONY will deny support for using an out of region device while working/living outside your native country or if they will say to contact the appropriate customer support link according to the device region.
Hope it can be fixed.
