So i recently got my LwW on Official 4.0.4 .587 and its running good! I rooted it and installed the BootExtended stock kernel for CwM. And shorty in Updatw Center.apk there was a update available, so once my phone got ready to install OTA update it just rebooted! And now the Update icon is stuck in my Notif Bar and i cant get rid of it! Help?

Why did you OTA after unlocking ??
Search the fota unbrick or see the sticky threads for the method. And never update over the air or using PC companion after unlocking

Never install OTA Updates on unlocked bootloader!
To get rid of it uninstall the UpdateCenter.apk
Its just one of those mini updates. 15.8mb its a system update,

hmmm...if i still remember it correctly, open update center, there should be showing there an update...press menu button then press option/preferences....inside there you can choose to update via network or wifi only...choose wifi only...reboot then the update icon will disappear from your status bar....
to fully remove it, just uninstall update center from your system files.....
Luckily, you have still not updated it using OTA. If you do that, you will brick your phone!! Download root browser or any file explorer as soon as possible and go to /system/app and delete UpdateCenter.apk. You can also use titanium backup to remove it.
Do not worry ota update doesnt work after rooting with unlocked bootloder u may even brick... Only way is to flash

Hi. First. I already search and not found for solution. My ray BL unlocked and rooted. Then I tried to update to 2.3.4 via OTA and bricked. Already fix it. Decided to stay at 2.3.3 and wait for ICS. But the problem is I still got the "could not install" notification.
How to remove the notification and remove the ota update files?
Thanks

theming needs access to system files, and accessing system files needs rooting
You can try custom launcher and rooting won't really affect your update

Rooting your phone won't defect it from updating to ICS.
Just root your phone.
You can try : [MOD][ICS|GB] DefaultThemes.apk mod like you want.
This is my mod for stock theme manager... Install like normal app After reboot stock themes will restored...

rooting your devices doesn't have any effect on updating using SEUS or OTA but un-locking bootloader does...it will prevent your device from receiving official update from Sony....
anyway you can always lock/re-lock bootloader again in case you want update from Sony....

rooting voids warranty
many people dont root their android because it voids the warranty, and i know you can "unroot" it later on, but still i wouldnt like to mess up with it till my warranty is there. upgrade to ICS or no upgrade, i would stay away from rooting for the time being at least.
so can we get themes for unrooted LwW?
Thanks

What specific error?
can you update ota if you're rooted? i thought i read somewhere that you can't? or is that only if you are unlocked bl?
For convenience/less errors it is highly recommended to have a fresh firmware. No root, locked bootloader. For you to update via OTA, Sony Update Service, or PC Companion.
When the BlueBox appear after download and restart the phone The phone restart again and appears a Box saying there was a problem, try again

Have you tried using PC companion or SUS?
just to confirm that you CAN update a rooted LT26i.
just use PCC or SUS
its all good.
p.s for some reason the size of the OTA update download is much smaller that the update download done by PCC/SUS (almost 400MB) maybe this why many have complained it doesn't work.
For me it makes no difference OTA or via PC, both are failing. I have an unlocked bootloader with that Swiss ICS rom which was published around 20th of June, a few days after the ICS release. ( LT26_6.1.A.0.452_Generic_CH_1257-3740_.ftf )
Could that be a reason for the update to fail?

You can't update with unlocked boot loader on those programs. Use flash tool.

My Sony Xperia J was rooted while running 11.2.a.0.21. Sony updated to 11.2.a.0.33 and now my phone lost root access. Is there a solution or will I have to wait for a new root for my phone?

I think you will have to wait for the new root for the phone.
I figured as much.
Thanks, I hope it will be soon.
How did you update it? Usually if the update is ota it leaves all the setting as they were before the update...

I used sony companion for the update because it kept failing when I tried to update it directly thru my phone.
