Wrong forum, ask in general pls.
Btw yes, should work with ota, but before it run local-prop and after it push-root-files, that's it :good:
These two files can be found in general forum, the tutorial by DragonClawsAreSharp, you can find the link in the rooting guide in my signature, too

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????

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????

Hello I am a little confused in the various guidelines and procedures .. wondering some light on:
I state that I have .. xperia s updated to 6.1.A.0.452 ICS ... when I go to download the file server prerooted.img in XDA I see that folder there are two GB of KA PREROOTED while in the ICS folder there nothing .. so I wanted to ask but the guide and for those who have GB installed or can I flash one of them having already KA ICS? .. and if so, what one?
sorry for my bad english
use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729280
Are you saying you want root access and recovery on your phone?
If so unlock the bootloader -
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Then you can fastboot an auto rooting kernel from the site like advanced stock kernel. Job done (there are guides for this in the stickies at the top of the forum)

First of all post in question and answer forum..
Second if you want to flash a pre rooted image then you have to unlock your bootloader, and you can find the pre rooted ics image in Android dev section..
If you want root and recovery without unlocking then go to the link in my signature..
Enjoy

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)

Please please please search and read! There's my rooting guide and it's pinned in the general section. There you can see how to root your phone and you can ask questions there if anything goes wrong
oh man u don't have to downgrade for GB to root your device
If you''re already in rooted GB , just flash the ICS firmware without wipe the data :good:
Yup, juz install custom rom such as cm9 or realics (r6), im using r6 and all works fine to me, but I suggest u better make a backup 1st

hi i just recently switched from an xperia x10 mini (mimi) to an XPERIA U ST25a
Android 2.3.7
firmware 6.0.B1.564
kernel 2.6.35.7+
I was palnning to update to android 4.0.4 but i was told not to since it get alot laggy.
can someone link me on how to root this device im not sure if its the same way i did
for my mimi.
and what do you suggest is the best kernel/rom for this device? (stable)
i honestly want to get the most of it. thanks for the help in advance.
I HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN TRYINT TO ROOT IT SAYS IM IN MTP MODE, and i dont know how to disable that seems like its by defautl
Just look in this section for an gbrocks and flash it it stock modified gb rom and work great and its also prerooted.
P.S. wrong section pal, it should be in Q/A section, and in future just use search button on this forum coz its been answerd a lot of times

First of all wrong section, you may put in the Q & A section,
Secondly there is no rating for custom kernels/ROMs, every development is best in its own unique way !
Use search for rooting methods

You may require unlocked boot loader for rooting GB

THANKS I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED AND UNLOCKED MY PHONE
now im trying to install CWM but on that page it shows only CWM for ICS
im running ANDROIDN 2.3.7
i tried it and when i turn off phone i rapidly prass vol down and shows the blue green blue light but then it goes back to sony logo and starts normally
Now as you have unlocked your boot loader you can flash custom kernels, most of them have pre installed CWM.
Check for GB ROMs in the development forum.
Or CM9 ROMs are pretty smooth and simple, you may flash stock ICS (ftf file) and flash a CM9 ROM.
