[Q] Updating firmware while rooted - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi all,
I have a rooted xperia go 6.1.1.b.1.54. I have a notification for an update for 6.2.A.0.400 and was wondering if I am able to update the firmware while my device is rooted? How do I do so? I'm quite new to this and i am afraid that i may brick my phone while updating my firmware. Lol

Just flash your ics .54 ftf using flashtool.. Then update.. Or while you're rooted change si no in build.prop to this 1264-7472.. You'll get the latest a.1.100 firmware update through pc companion! :thumbup:

So there are two ways? 1.)Flash .54 then update, 2.)change si no in build.prop and update through pc companion.
Hmm, I think i will do the 2nd one.
Just making sure. Uhm when I change my si no in build.prop to 1264-7472 and update through pc companion, will my device update from .54 to a.1.100 directly? Is this perfectly safe? I'm a bit paranoid haha

Yes it is perfectly safe.. !! Just change the si number n reboot.. You'll get the update

Oh and another thing, will I lose my root once i get updated to a.1.100?

Update availabe for Xperia Neo- Build 4.0.2.A.0.62

Hi guys,
I Just want to inform you that yesterday I updated my Xperia neo and got 2.3.4 build 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Does anybody know what are changes since previous build?
Using 4.0.2.A.0.62 I can not root using DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su,
So becareful, you may need to wait until some solution for rooting is found.
Is It Available For Neo V Too ... Cant Find In My Region.. Will Wait Till There Is Any Solution For Rooting
Which region are you in?
Screenshot of about phone?

I have rooted 4.0.2.A.0.62.
First I flashed InteksV15 kernel. After I used DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.
it's working
But after it will be running on Inteks kernel. You may need to extract original one from 4.0.2.A.0.62
and reflash it.

and my neo is rooted, is that not dangerous
and wil the neo v get Build 4.0.2.A.0.62 if it is rooted?

Thanks for the method will give a go today ......
I have my neo rooted with locked bootloader and 0.42 firmware.
If I upgrade to 0.62 ,I supposed it won't be rooted any more.
Right?
Any way to root it again with locked bootloader?

I can get the update, but I have an unlocked bootloader so I used flashtool. But I had a conversation with @SonyEricssonNL, and it turned out I have a scandinavian SI number.
I think you can just use flashtool to flash the ftf, also non-rooted.

are you using a custom rom? If yes then you need to downgrade to your original fw with the correct SI code

Hey, jj my SI nuber is not yet supported(or whatever it is called). Can I still use seus. An if i can how do i convert to an img or flf file. Btw can we get it if someone has updated . and then make a backup with cwm. Can we make a flf file from a cwm backup?
Maybe someone who is on GB can update to 4.0.4, seems like its not working when you´re on 4.0.3. My SI is also listed but I have custom ROM(also recognizes it as Arc S ) so it might block this updating.

since update is given by batch. your si number determines whether the new update is being rolled out in your region, in your case you have to wait unless someone will post their ftf files.

[Q] Xperia GO - JB update problem

Hi,
It's 20th May by now and Sony PC Companion still isn't showing me the latest jelly bean update. Same way with SUS. It says new version is available (that's 6.1.1.B.1.10 ics) and when i update it, companion says that's the latest version. What should I do? (and I want official sony companion firmware not the one to flash).
Any help would be appreciated. :good:

[Q] Should i upgrade to JB on xperia go ?

hey guys,
I just bought my xperia Go, and i've been reading around, to "assimilate" all this information. I have a couple of questions:
Fact1: My phone is a locked bootloader, and is not possible to unlock.
Fact2: It has ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54
Fact3: My carrier (tmn Portugal) still isnt upgrading to Jb. So for me there is no official update to JB yet.
Questions:
Should i upgrade to JB ? wich rom should i use? If i upgrade to official JB, its not possible to root yet? Or should i root my phone before upgrade? Im confused, if you guys could help me out. Thanks
Do you get notification update at Sony PC Companion?
If no you need to root your phone and change SI number at build.prop to get update or you can download JB ft and flash via flash tool.
