Hi
I've come to the sony from the note 2 and I'm happy so far but have 1 issue I can't resolve.
Phone details
Bootloader unlocked
Rooted
Model no. C6833
4.2.2 stock rom at the moment (looking at paranoid android rom)
Baseband 8974-AAAAANAZQ-10220006-17
Kernel 3.4.0 std
Build 14.1.B.1.532
Questions
Should I update anyway ? Or will that wipe root access ?
If I update, will it then update to 14.1.B.2.257 ota ?

no matter how you update, you will lose ROOT access.
It is still possible to get root back after updating, but does require a lot of work arounds to do it.

No,this is not true. If you install Voodoo OTA RootKeeper and do an OTA update, you can keep root. I tested it myself ...

Some thing I notes with update .257 that if you did OTA update the update will not delete the root or the busybox.
Thanks for the replys

Hiiiiiiiii, I 'm new to this forum and would like to root my neo v as i'm confused that .62 firmware cant be rooted
I Have updated my Xperia neo v to new firmware 4.02.A.0.62
I'm going to root it with DooMLoRD tutorials
But i want to get the ICS update in april, so would have to unroot.
i'll use DooMLoRD unroot tutorials
But Could I get Sony Ericsson OTA update OR by Pc Companion after unrooting
will the warranty be void after unrooting
Many Thanks to DooMLoRD for Getting us use our phones at thier full capabilities....
As far as i know, when you unroot you can still update with pccompanion.
Warrenty should not be effected, as it should be undectable that yu have rooted and the unrooted
does update work with uunlock bootloader

Does that mean even if my phone is rooted i'll get update from SE
i thought DoomLord's rooting/unrooting tool does not work with .62, only with .42/.58
is there an updated tool for .62?
.62 can be rooted only with unlocked bootloader! Root with locked bootloader possible only on FW .42 and lower.
Rooting not affect further updates! If you update bay OTA, root remains, if update by PCC - you lose root.
Humm...to have a rooted .62 with locked bootloader
my method is:
1. flashtool back to to .42
2. root it via flashtool
3a. OTA to .62
it will keep your root
3b. Install CWM for locked bootloader with:
"Market> search Xperia CWM"
4 then install stock rooted image @ CWM
Both methods works
how to know that my neo V is rooted
downgraded my firmware to .42 then
i've used Easy Rooting Toolkit of DooMLoRD and i do have Superuser in my menu.
if rooted then can anybody tell me use of clockwork mod recovery as i dont want to install any custom rom. Is it really needed
can i now safely update to .62 via OTA
Thanks everybody y'all help......

CWM recovery hv advantage on back up and restore even if u r not going for custom ROMS
Also, it is a faster means to install some system apps
Say the Xperia S 's player plus all the equalizer stuffs
w/ CWM, just u/l the zip will done
but w/o CWM u will need to use ROOT Explorer set permissions for files and place them in position one by one
Btw Rooting itself will not affect OTA ONLY IF u do not remove any of the System rubbish apps
(tricks is to FREEZE them instead or delete)
but I suspect if we can reli OTA to 4.0? As it is a new FW instead of FW like .58>62
in general backup, killing rubbish & set auto runs, u will just need:
Titanium backup, Root Explorer/ES , Gemin. apps manager
Hope these help =)
Thanks for the info

Deleting rubbish apps will only affect OTA update as heard, it seems that after removing any Will cause fail to receive OTA notification of update (i dun know if it related to me that I changed the kernel to .283, i m MT15i)
As long as u use PCC or US , update is avaliable if ur bootloader is not unlocked, but this kill root
Ways to deal with, is to use flashtool to flash bk to .58, upgrade all system apps via Market, reboot again, root, then OTA to latest version, (4.0 may still work) this keep root.

Really? So, if I use PC Companion to update my Neo 2.3.4 to ICS while I'm rooted, it will update without a problem (although it would erase my root)? Even if I've deleted some of the pre-installed apps such as chinese and japanese (POBox) keyboard, OfficeSuite and similar..?
Well, do I also need to uninstall root apps like Titanium Backup or DiskUsage in order to allow for the update to install..? And should I empty the data/cache folders before updating?
I know, a lot of questions, but you've just made my day if all this is possible..

It will be kinda a waste of time and effort to update to 0.62 now and in around 2-3 weeks time to upgrade to ICS,I used both 0.42 & 0.62 fw's and tbh I don't see that much difference at all in speeds or anything.If you are in 0.42 or any fw higher to that then wait for ICS.

you're right of course, i know that .62 is no big deal, but it's just that by updating from .42 to .62 i kinda wanted to verify for myself what you wrote about updating when rooted..my main concern is whether i'll be able to update to ICS (via PCC) if i previously uninstalled some of the pre-loaded apps (no matter how unessential they are)..of course i wouldn't uninstall apps such as phonebook, systemUI or similar, but stuff like officesuite or japanese/chinese keyboards should be safe to remove..
i'm simply uncertain how things will go, so i'm trying to take baby steps so i can take the big step when (ICS)..
Hi everyone!
I was trying to ask this in the Dev forum, but aparently my post count doesn't allow me to do so...
I just bought a Sony Tablet S (Wifi 16 GB version), and it comes with Android 3.1 and Kernel 2.6.36.3, so my question is if I can/should root it before I update it to ICS? Is the root process safe and easy to do, and does it void the warranty?
Thanks for your help...
yes - you need to root it before you upgrade - then upgrade using AiO tool by Condi.. here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515720

Great, thanks for your help! I see from that link that the root can be undone, but can this also be done after the ICS update? I will try to root my Tablet S with the stock Android 3.1 and after I want to update it to the oficial ICS...
Putente,
if you upgrade to official ICS, you will not be able to root, till now.
awn
you will probably have to upgrade to 3.2.1 first, because most of 3.1 versions couldnt be rooted. BUT BE CAREFUL! - do not use OTA update if it comes with ICS because its not rootable and you cant go back..
First you should get URL of 3.2.1 of your region - check one of HC URLS thread,
flash 3.2.1, root, download ICS and use AiO to preroot it, then flash custom ICS with root.
thats all
br
condi
Well, this is starting to get a bit confusing for me, as I'm a noob. I thought that this root process would be easier. I'll do a bit more reading about this subject before I make any decisions...
I got another question...
I have an update notice on my tablet and it says something about a system update version 1.10 and Android 3.2. Is this the (in)famous kernel build #10, or can I safely perform this update before I use condi's AIO tool for root and ICS update?
Thanks.
If you get 3.2 update, you'll probably receive kernel #10 but that update will be soon followed by 3.2.1 with kernel #5, #6 or #8 (or even another one, depending on your region) rootable by Condi's tool.
Then you can be proposed to download another 3.2.1, don't accept as it will be kernel #10.
You may be able to keep root after 4.0.3 update using Condi's tool if you come from a rooted 3.2.1. If not, you won't be able to gain root because there's actually no exploit for stock ICS.
So be carefull!

So you have 3.2 kernel 10?
Then you can install this for Portugal 'WIFI only'.
3.2.1R2 Wifi Only SGPT111PT/S SGPT112PT/S
http://info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx03_011/contents/0008/signed-nbx03_011-ota-0042.002.zip
This is 3.2.1r2 install, not sure what kernel but should be rootable, I helped someone from Sweden using the same file and they were able to root tablet.
Copy to SD card
To install go into recovery (turn off tab, then hold vol + and tap power button, tablet will boot and then go into recovery, then you can let go of vol button) and select file off SD card.
Then run condi's AIO and select root, it will tell you if it can be rooted or not.....
If that works and you would like to ICS then use the program to preroot the following:
4.0.3 Wifi Only SGPT111PT/S SGPT112PT/S
http://info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx03_011/contents/0009/signed-nbx03_011-ota-120410025.zip
Oh and Portugal / Netherlands /Norway /Sweden are the same file
GOOD LUCK

@stifilz can't this be flashed after updating to official ICS?
or even any way downgrading to HC without root?
Damn this is my first device I have for this long time without root :-/

Not unless some sort of backdoor was created, ie incremental decrease. So pretty much for the time being no... but dw I am in the same boat... there will be some way, some day.

Since we cannot decrease from the tablet then why don't we just increase it in the flashable pacakage?
I don't visit here much but I read somewhere that flashable firmware must be greater than the installed one, then why not just change the build.prop in the to higher that 4.0.3 and it will get accepted right?
or is this already tried?
if this succeeds then we can make HC's build.prop to 4.0.4 n flash it and then root it and flash to ICS with add root support.
Just a suggestion.
This may help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887447
Although I personally havnt got it working myself, it does appears others have.

Although we can sign it. We do not have keys or method to fully sign it. Because the bootloader is locked it has to be a signed file from Sony.... With the exception of condi's AIO tool which bypasses the check. For this you need root! But now we can root ICS anyway and apply semi custom roms i.e root and lower incremental

I am rooted when i update my 4.1 to 4.3 after 4.3 update is done super su tells "There is no Su binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!, If you just upgraded to android 4.3 you need to manually re root consult the relevant forums for your device!.
You can try DooMLords method again and see what happens? I don't know if that'll make you have to flash a whole new firmware again though

Nope only way to root is flash a pre rooted zip and like 4.4.4 there wont most probably be any other way to root. So yes you will have to downgrade to 4.4.2-->Root-->Install Recovey-->Flash pre rooted 5.0

I have a SGP611 with a rooted 23.4.A.1.232 build. I saw the 264 update is only 7.5Mb and thought it may be an incremental update.

You will loose root, but if you have rooted firmware you can make flashable rooted zip to install on dualrecovery without wipe. hope this should work and you'll get update and root
