Some questions about root[Xperia P] - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

using stock ROM:6.2.A.0.400
I wanted to root to flash some features
But when there is a new update(PCC) in the future, my phone is rooted, so I can't connect it to PCC. How can I apply the update????!!!!
My friend told me I can unroot, but I don't know the method...

My phone will not become a brick?
Thank you I am going to root my phone

Strange Update Xperia sola

I unlocked bl and flashed custoom kernel taday and after first boot there was an update notification to .184. But my build number IS .184.....
?????????!!!?
It also says i will need computer/pc companion to do the update....
Since bootloader is unlocked i can not do the update...

that is normal.
You can't make official Updates from Sony with a unlocked bootloader. If you want to have the official updates you have to relock your bootloader
The kernel you flashed is of an older firmware hence the notification. Freeze update center using titanium and the notification will be gone.
Edit: It generally happens when a custom kernel is used.

The kernel that you are using is built from the source release of an older kernel for Sola n hence the notification to upgrade it..
So dun worry it's normal...

I just deleted update center.

Yep Even I deleted Update Center. Its pretty much useless now that your bootlocker is unlocked,
Id say its mandatory to delete updatecenter

Please see the rooting guide by me, there's a how to root these devices
Yes, you can still update your device but the root privilege would be gone as you update your device 'cause it re-flashing a new stock firmware.
To update to ICS, you can use SEUS or PC Companion.
Ofcourse my man.....rooting does not have anything to do wid upgrading.....unlike unlocking ur BOOTLOADER.....so headsup...all u gotta do is re-root ur device..after the upgrade..... r untick wipe data for retaining root access... in flashtool if tats wat u r using....

Root doesn't matter, only the bootloader is the matter... If it is unlocked, you cannot install any updates directly... You will have to download the ftf file of the firmware and flash it using flaah to

If you're on 6.1.1.B.1.54, you'll have to Flash 6.1.1.B.1.10 kernel then Root using Bin4ry, then Flash 6.1.1.B.1.154 kernel. Voila, your device is Rooted.

Xperia Sola MT27i update not functioning

I bought an Xperia Sola online recently, since the day i relieved it, i am trying to update it. I tried all methods possible and also the ones suggested by the Xperia care. When I checked online, it says my device should be running software version 6.1.1.B.*, i.e. ICS but by all methods tried, it says my device is up to date. Currently running gingerbread software version 6.0.B.3.814.
Please help. I do not want to root my device or run any custom ROM. I want to update to ICS Xperia.

Did you unlock your bootloader? Can't officially update with an unlocked bootloader.

Warranty maybe void only if you unlock bootloader or root.
So flashing ftf will not,I guess.

and Im not sure if PC Companion will allow you to install updates with a custom kernel.
