Hello, I have a rooted Sony Xperia U with Venezuela MOD.
But I want to restore my default android 4.0.4 without rooted. Is it possible by doing a reinstall with Sony desktop application?

Okey, what stock ROM do you recomend? .10, .54 or .100?
Thanks!

Personally, I don't see much difference between them, so it's all your choice.
.100 is good because .10 lags for me . but is it your choice .

So today I found that a new update is available for my phone... But my phone is rooted and has changed SystemUI.apk for notification widgets and it uses AdBlocker... so my questions are: are there any major improvements and bug fixes and is it worth it? (because I've heard that 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware can be rooted only with flashing older kernel using the stock ROM). And how do I update it?
I will be thankful for any replies.

Download 0.62 ftf file.Move it to firmware folder in Flash tool.Flash button,flashmode.Select the 0.62 fw.Untick wipe user data,wipe cache.Tick Exclude system,exclude baseband.And flashing will only flash kernel I guess
But 0.62 fw with 0.283 kernel is the best battery saver out there
Can I update from 0.42 rooted neo mt15i (changed systemui.apk) into 0.62 directly from pc companion? (don't care if it will loose root)

Thanks for the heads-up. If I'd go with the update I will lose my status widgets in the pull-down menu and I don't want that. I should probably wait for the ics release then.
Thank you for the info!
I am on .42 too and will try the flashtool update method.
Can't say much more about the ROM than what's already in the title, I grabbed it from i-don't-quite-remember-where (but not from warez type sites) since I couldn't update with PCC 'cause of unlocked bootloader. Checked it and it's the real deal, got it flashed and running on my Sola. FTF packaged neatly in a RAR.

EDIT:
Yes the rom came from Irontech so all credits and thanks go to him for publishing it (i only remembered it was him who released it on forum when rohit gave the link), but i think its place is here where it won't be lost in waves of threads like on general.
File Size: 242.95MB ,will give it a try.
Here is the post where it was originally post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810108
The Rom is quite good, I also flashed it.

Check in the Update Centre, and if it is available, simply download and update your device. And no need to flash too!– I updated my phone this way today and it is completely safe. Hope that helps, mate

Yeah, both ways, using PC Companion or update centre, you'll save yourself from flashing.

If I remember right you can't root manually yet. You have to flash a kernel with auto root etc.
If anyone knows otherwise please share!

what do you mean by the same? i've read somewhere that some version of ftf has bug like b.1.10, mine was originally b.1.10 and it become b.1.54 after i root.

All ftf files for a particular firmware are the same. I'm not familiar with P rooting procedures but I believe its not a bug.
