why i cant update my phoone?
You're gonna have to be more specific. How do you even know that the rooting is the problem?
Tell us how you tried to update, what kind of error message you got etc.
First i flash my phone to 0.42 to root, and it went successfully. After that, i try to update to 0.62. when the update process finished then my phone reboot ...and the notification message said that *update could not install try update software again*
** i update via OTA
You used files from this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866 ?
Just seen Reck1993 post, yesterday I too rooted my Neo (MT15i) following the instructions from the tutorial and I too with .62 do not have ota update available.
Though I'm not too bothered as I realize there will be no more up dates to GB from Sony and it will probably months before ics comes to the uk for for the neo and reading some of the comments in this forum with the .562 nordic it's probably not worth it.
Oh this problem is there because you deleted some system apps.
Flash back to .42 again, and then root, now do OTA update to .62
for me thanks, but as I said I'm not too bothered, there'll be no GB updates from sony, and ICS is wishful thinking, I'll stick with it as it is.
Hi, to everyone! What are the ways to upgrade to 4.4.4 our Sony Xperia Z Ultra, but someone I know who told me to update via recovery and then flash the kernel. If someone could tell me how to do that you really appreciate it, because I can't update via OTA because I am Root. Sorry for my european english
You can update to 4.4.4 normally via OTA or PC Companion even when rooted, after update you will lose root, just repeat the root process again and you're good to go.
or flash a FTF with flashtool (http://flashtool.net)
Hi,
I cannot install the OTA upgrade on my phone.
1. Is it because my phone is rooted?
2. If so, is there a way to successfully install the ugrade without losing root?
1. YES
2. NO. OTA update is available only for stock, nonrooted rom. U can find the newest software at needrom, or kaskus for all roms..
Hi all

Hi,
If you only root the phone and custom firmware has not been installed, do you still get OTA updates?
Thank you
