Hi,
i had an issue with the touchscreen of my xperia u, so i gave it in to be fixed. When i got it back, they had replaced my ICS with a gingerbread rom. Weirdly, there were some french bloatware apps on the phone, which werent there before, even when i had gingerbread. After getting the phone i tried to update back to ICS, but both pc companion and sony update says, i have the latest software. It's ridiculous becuase i was apble to update the same phone to ICS 6 months ago. I'm running out of options, i dont want to root my phone, so has anyone got any ideas.
i looked everywhere but i couldnt find someone who was experiencing quite the same problem. I live in SRI LANKA. is the issue with the french rom. Any help would be appreciated.

I understand your point, but could have used general section for the same!
With the thought that this is an update on the software, i thought it should go in the Dev section! Sorry if you think it's wrong in any way!

This is most likely caused by some firewall or other security problem blocking PCC from downloading necessarily components. Check if you can temporarily disable these and try again. I think that should do it.
Hi,
I'm currently running 4.0.A.2.335 on my Mini Pro,
I've been getting the message to update to .58 for a couple months now, but was waiting to update because I wasn't sure if I was still going to be able to root.
So simple question: update before root or after?
Grtz!
Its not important, important not to use internal wi-fi updater when bootloader unlocked. in any case you must get root after every update, because all data will be removed

You cant update your phone to .58 if your phone currently rooted. You need to unroot first then update then reroot back.
So the answer is update first, then root

For my own information: do you have an AZERTY SK17i, and if so, would you please do me a favour and post your /system/build.prop (after rooting of course, can't access it otherwise) here or in my thread?
I'm looking for the 'generic Belgium' CDA code Currently running a french one but it came with some very irrelevant apps and I have another issue with it.

Nothing has been changed yet (phone is not rooted and hasn't been flashed yet). Stock can also mean, 'running SE firmware' as opposed to a custom ROM, regardless how the SE firmware was installed.

I faced the same problem as yours...mine is Xperia Sola.After flashing an experimental CM9 based rom,touchscreen and touch buttons failed to function.I flashed back stock ICS ftf but even then it didn't work.Then i flashed stock GB firmware and voila-touchscreen functionality restored.
Hope this helps you too.

Thank you! I tried. failed. I've tried a lot of things. I do not understand what could be the problem. under repair.
I've decided to root my phone... as far as I know I won't lose my warranty If I'll be rooted right?
So All I want is just root permissions... NO custom ROMS or Kernels.
I am using GB stock 6.0.B.3.184 firmware android 2.3.7
So Do I need to unlock my bootloader to root? Or I can proceed without doing that?
And could someone provide me with link how to root Xperia Sola with GB stock firmware?
Thank's
Please... I have looked everywhere.
Also found sources where people are searching for a way to root phone without upgrading to ICS with no luck.

You can root without unlocking your bootloader. Bootloader need to be unlocked only if you want to flash custom kernels or roms like cm9,cm10, miui etc.
You can try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Confirmed on the first post that works on sola also. Hope works with gb also

says It's for ICS/JB.
Nothing mentioned about GB... I'll better ask If it can be done on GB as well.

This one says It needs fastboot, so do I really need to unlock bootloader?
How hard is it..? To unlock bootloader, As far as I know it can be done at Sony homepage, Whats the advantage of unlocking it and do it has any cons... already know that it means lost wariaty, and that's a risk.
And finally can bootloader be locked again? To make everything as it used to be?

I was wondering how Carrier and Country affect getting updates? I have a Z Ultra 6802 (HK - came with Chinese apps) and haven't seen the 501 update on my phone yet and I really don't want to unlock the bootloader.
So I guess my ultimate question is: Will I get the update in the US while on AT&T? (I'm ok waiting, just want to know)

Eventually. Or you can do what I did and flash a generic 510. Then use PC companion to repair if it doesn't work properly. When repaired, a new version of 510 is installed by Sony that works.
