[Q] How to upgrade wt19i on official ICS and keep it rooted - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

my wt19i phone is rooted GB ( 4.0.2.A.0.62 ) and bootloader locked........
when i upgraded it to ICS WT19i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.rar by flashtool then i faced some problems that
when i touch the screen of my phone, it vibrates and beeps.
though i had stopped vibration and beeps from phone's settings....
is there any way to get ICS without any problem and keep my phone rooted?
thanks in advance

Just use the ics root method, by downgrade or else.

Use the methods of the links of the sticked guides. There's a how to root .431 and .587.
You mean you flashed the ftf not the rar. The extracted rar?

---

I followed the flashtool method and extract WT19i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.rar into flashtool->firmwares folder.
if I root ICS then will it solve the problem?

my problem is not about to root ICS.
my problem is when i touch the screen of my phone, it
vibrates and beeps.
though I had stopped vibration and beeps
from phone's settings....
this problem happened after flashing by flastool through WT19i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.ftf
to fix this problem I did OTA update but it failed to fix this....
if I root ICS will it be able to fix this problem or it is a lag of WT19i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.ftf this file.
what can I do now?

There is a tick in the Settings-> Sounds for Touch sound. If you untick it, it will be disabled.

in spite of doing this as you said, the sound didn't stop though the problem has been solved by re-flash.
now my walkman doesn't sync with sd card so if i update or repair phone with sony pc companion then will i loose my rooted ICS and installed CWM ?

Yes. But I recommend to install GB 42 and root, then update with PCC or flashtool. Read sticky thread.

Download latest flashtool from sticky thread and, when flashing GB just click OK. Then when you enable root with zergRush and xperia-ROOT.rev flash ICS firmware (431 or 587) and uncheck wipe data then proceed with other step as provided in tutorial.
