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.

Friend i have two issue with this kernel.
1). After i flash it it display "Unfortunately, keypad has stopped" and "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" errors.
2). I can't see Superuser app in the app drawer.
Can you help me to fix this things.
Edited:- I flashed the superuser app via recovery, now it fix, but i have that errors.
Thanks!
@gregbradley: is that kernel from Neo V, based on .431? If yes, in .431 neo and neo v had different kernels, and when neo used neo v kernel user got problems as above. Not sure if it's same on .587
@android addicts: if you wanna keep her phone stock as possible, my advice is to have stock .587, then hotboot kernel which have CWM, and flash superuser.zip, on the next boot phone will boot with stock kernel and you will have superuser.

I think it is NEO, i used it on my phone which is NEO. And I think it is .431, as I have had that kernel a while now.

Not sure what that is, its not a kernel update as far as I am aware...
Anyway, what is it that you are trying to do with the phone? Are you installing a new ROM or are you just getting root access

No. Don't do that.. You will end up with problems.
Don't do OTA updates on phones with unlocked bootlaoder, specially not if you used official method.
That update is because you have .587 fw and .431 kernel, that's why you got notification about update. Let me guess, it's ~14mb?
If you just wanna root, and keep stock kernel, try following my instructions.

If I may ask, since I see you didn't end up wit boot problems, did you unlock bootloader with unofficial way, with s1tool?
p.s. you have another option, since you have root access, install titanium backup, and uninstall update center app
but still, my advise is flash stock .587, hotboot kernel with CWM, install superuser.zip and that's it, you are on stock with superuser access.

Secondly, flash stock firmware and then flash another kernel

If you were able to flash the rage kernel and DDS kernel then that means that you have an unlocked kernel. Also if you are able to boot into fastboot then you have an unlocked bootloader.

On stock rom type *#*#7378423#*#* -> Service Info -> Configuration -> Rooting Status: Bootloader unlocked: yes
Or you connect it in fastboot mode to flashtool, it should say Bootloader Status: Rooted (or simliar) :good:

And just for the record, when I go into the update centre app on my phone it still asks me to update to 4.1.B.0.587 with 0.1 mb of update download. I dont know why this is so. but in the about phone section the software version is 4.1.B.0.587. but it still asks to update to 4.1.B.0.587.

its pretty obvious.. when you flash the stock rom manually, some of the stuffs are not in order as the factory one even if the version is same.. so to put it in order perfectly you have to install the update...

by the way.. what tool did you use to flash the stock rom ?? flashtool ??
is flashing back to official ics/gb rom will remove Clockworkmod CWM?
and will your phone also be unrooted? all back to defaults settings?
please tell to some who knows

Yes, flashing ftf "official" file ROM will remove CWM and new flashed ROM will has no root rights.
The same flashing with Sony PC Companion and SEUS.

Flashing a stock ftf also flashes the stock kernel so yes it will be removed.

Your phone will return to stock as it just came out of the box if you flash the factory image via fast boot. Including kernel and recovery therefore, you will lose cwm. You can also lock up the boot loader again using toolkit.
