How can i root the device with new update..........
But which update?
If you're on 2.3.3 you have to flash back to 2.3.2, root and then do OTA to 2.3.3
Here's how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115542
This works on every 2.3 rom. Just forget the part with flashtool and the firmware.

i have an xperia arc which was rooted 2.3.4 build .42
I updated over PC to .62, lost root. Now I want to revert back to .42, how can I do that safely
I used flashtool to root previously, prefer to use that again. Can I flash .42 back with no problems
Thanks in advance.

yah no problem at all ,you can use flashtool and you can root again then update thru OTA update so your root will still remain .
Ok, so I updated from build 3.0.1.B.0.270 to 3.0.1.B.0.285 through pc companion and lost root access (which is unacceptable). So then I flashed back to .270 then rooted through flashtool then searched for an OTA for .285 (because I read on another thread that OTA was the only way to retain root on .285) but the search said "No Updates Found". Anyone have any idea why it wont find an update and if it is not possible to do it OTA then is there anyway (other than pc companion or flashing) that I can update to .285?
Xperia Play r800at
Just flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware with flashtool and then root it using the zergrush exploit, which is included already in flashtool. You can download the firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313505
So would that be exactly the same as the stock .285 build for the r800at?
No it is different. The ota to .285 is available. Just try it again and maybe give it sometime before trying the update again. Its how I got to .285 keeping root.

Then Just Root your phone, you don't need a custom Rom to have it rooted.
You can use Zergrush, PSNeuter and another method which I don't remember.
Or you can even have flashtool do it for you.
On 2.3.3 from my understanding you can root 2.3.4 stopped rooting and being unlocked if u go to 2.3.3 root and ota to 2.3.4 u will have a nice shiny brick I have a rooted 2.3.4 Android but won't use it as wifi is broke it wont connect but 2.3.3 would when I was unlocked so I could be wrong tho

Yes.
Flash/Upgrade will remove rooting
I had Rooted Android 4.0 on my Xperia Ion and flashed Android 4.1.2 Firmware. It removed the Root access.
Am not sure If I've upgraded via SUS/PC Companion still I get root access.
Anyways you can flash 4.1.2 firmware and root it with DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v17_perf-event-exploit.zip (Search in this site) :victory:
