Really? Sounds good. How i can root this firmware?
same as rooting .62
downgrade to .42 first then do OTA upgrade

In my case, doing that gives me a failure OTA update thats why I'm forced to reflash .42
Doing OTA directly over .62 gave me a failure too. Here's what I did- flashed stock .42, root (and updated the SU app and binary and ticked 'OTA Survival', updated to .84 via OTA.. Success. Feels li'l bit snappier and ya battery stays up good. But maybe it's jst a placebo cuz GB has always hav been snappy n fast on my mini.

I meant to say, after flashing the .42 ftf and then rooting, I updated the 'Superuser' app from Play Store,because the version that is pushed through is old..and dsn't show the 'OTA Survival' checkbox.
But I think that is not necessary. You can just flash the .42, then root and then do OTA and update to .84.

Ok, got it. I didn't know that the Superuser app could be updated from the Play Store. I currently have a version of the app that has the "ota survival" checkbox.

So you did a direct OTA update from .42 to .84? Without passing through the .58 fw?

If you are on .58 I would download the scripts from "how to root .431" (local-prop and push-root-files). On .58 root, run local-prop, do the update over the air, on .84 run push-root-files. Should work

hi,
i have xperia neo and i rooted it before using DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
i updated software using pc companion to 4.0.2.A.62 i lost root but superuser was still installed
i tried to unroot it and root again but no luck superuser.apk is read only and all rooting methods don't work for me
please help i tried everything even factory reset but the superuser is still there and i can't remove it to root again
P.S: is there any way without needing to flash rom ?
Build .62 is currently unrootable so when you updated the firmware it probably broke it. I think the only way to fix it is to flash the rom.
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
yea you are right..
you must downgrade to .42 for root option..
Thanks guys for the reply.
the problem was solved after i downgraded to .42 and then used FlashTool to root the device if someone had the same problem and wanted to solve it
unfortunately the firmware i downloaded from the form is international version and doesn't have the Arabic language user interface, i will just have to live with it
.62 is rootable, using recovery. You need to flash RootXperia.zip with recovery for locked bootloaders.
Cheers.

Ita not required root man, just usb debugging on and unknown sources on.

I've tried that and it doesn't work.
When you try to install CWM it says that you need allow root access on the screen, but nothing will happen since you don't have root yet.
I had to downgrade.

my friend just called me up saying that he recieved ICS update notification on his SK17i. unfortunately my wifi is not working so we will update it in morning. i will post screenshots after that. all indian SK17 users can check thier phones
Does it update at the same time in different countries?and...What about st15i?
can anyone confirm that?
have anyone received ICS official update in your sony ericsson?
updates are region dependent. about ST15, i can't check because i unlocked bootloader and running CM7.
Didn't he thought the fw version (4.0.2...) was ICS, right?
So?? no official update?

Is there any way to get rid of the stupid notification?
Fota update will not break your root access.

Got notified of the update, too.
My phone told me I couldn't update over the air so I had to do it via PC Companion. This did in fact break my root.

I think it depends what did you flash using FlashTool. If it was official firmware, there should not be any problems.

.58 fw/baseband and below can be rooted by zergrush
firmware below .62
if you don't want to downgrade or unlock BL to get root, just check -before buyin- the build number of the phone you want to buy, and be sure its below .62

No. you dont have to. if @Jsenny really want to rot your phone you always can downgrade it to .58 and root and then upgrade. you dont necessarily have to buy a phone that has a older f/w. you can always downgrade

This firmware cant be rooted with the flashtool or the adb method.
With the adb method when the it's said:
Good, it worked! Now we are rebooting soon, please be patient! ( the device rebooted as excepetd)
Waiting for device to come up again....
Going to copy files to it's place
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
with flashtool: root hack did not work.
and can it be rooted with this?

If you have root now, you can flash the FTF file with flashtool without wipe data, then the root stays.

Confirmed that flashing via flashtool will lose root and you can regain root by any of above mentioned kernels on unlocked bootloader.... For locked bootloader, I don't think there is a method to get root as of now... I think bin4ry will have to update root script for that....
