The same method has an Unroot option. If you haven't made any too many modifications to the system , you can just UnRoot and flash OTA with PCC.
If you have made quite a few changes, or are on some Custom Rom, you could flash The ICS FTF , and upgrade from there. The Stock ICS thread is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914264. It's official ICS, so you can update officially. This is recommended, but you will probably lose all settings and data.

thanks for the info and is there any cm9 or cm10 thats working/stable version for the xperia p/u/go/sola?

FXP is working on it : http://code.google.com/p/freexperia/. Hopefully we'll be in their next release, and it will come pretty soon The Sola, U and Go that is. I think there is a working cm9.1 for the P, but I'm not sure how stable it is. Check in the P forums for more.

thank you and i am going to try bin4y root v13.

I understand your point, but could have used general section for the same!
With the thought that this is an update on the software, i thought it should go in the Dev section! Sorry if you think it's wrong in any way!

This is most likely caused by some firewall or other security problem blocking PCC from downloading necessarily components. Check if you can temporarily disable these and try again. I think that should do it.

but cant update it my bootloader is unlocked, my phone will brick if i do it that way

Has anyone made a custom rom for this tablet?
It would be really cool if I could run Lollipop on it.
What would it take to create such a rom?
I mean if it was possible to create a rom for the HP Slate then I think this shouldn't be an issue.

[Q][Noob] Xperia U ICS help

Hi guys, As you all know ICS is being released, Apparently my SI no. hasn't got the update yet, I really am losing my patience and want to manually update to ICS using the French ST25i firmware.
Now, coming to my question. I want to manually Update my XU ST25i GB to ICS. I want to know how it is to be done, IN A NOOB FRIENDLY WAY .
A step by step method would really help guys. I'm aware that if I update this way, It technically isn't ROOTING. ( Right?? ) (I havent unlocked my Bootloader and I prefer to keep it that way coz of future updates from Sony) . And one more thing, If I do this, Will I be able to still get official updates from Sony? ( i.e From SUS or PCC ).
Please help a fellow member! :highfive:

Updates are region and/or provider dependant.
You can take your chances and flash generic world formware.

I want to do it so i can root my phone, but since I've never done this, I'm a bit insecure and hesitant.
From the research I've done rooting my Xperia P is preferred to be done with the latest firmware which I don't have.
What would you suggest I do? I am completely new to this.

Like before you do anything with your phone, take a full backup with PC Companion, and backup other data it doesn't manually.
Then you will need to download and install flashtool, install the drivers for Xperia P, flash mode, and fastboot mode with the drivers installer from drivers directory under flashtool directory.
Find and download generic 6.2.A.1.100 firmware file and flash it.
Exclude TA when you flash.
I have my firmware uploaded here, it's a two part 7-Zip, archive.
You may look for others that are more sutable for your region.
To root 6.2.A.1.100 use DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.
My phone is acting really crazy and I can't do a backup with PC Companion, nor with the phone app for backup, but I don't care anymore.
I'll try everything you suggested and let you know if it worked.
Thanks a lot, you have been more than helpful. I really appreciate it.
