i already flashed .42 via flashtool then root with zergrush but iam not abble to update over the air it says "update failed"
i havent removed any apps
¿Any other way to get .62 rooted firmware without unlocking bootloader?
i prefer u to not use .62 firmware as rooting in this firmware is not possible man..!!
check your internet connection..make sure you update it through wifi
I think i will stay on .42
thanks for your answers =)
Root .42 & Update to .62
If u want to update OTA ........
a) Your Boot loader should not be unlocked (Default setting by Sony Ericsson)
b) Root your phone which is running on .42 firmware using the latest Flashtools v 0.6.8
Note :
i.First install Flash tool.
ii.Connect the phone in Flash Mode
iii.Flash it with 4.0.2.A.0.42
iv.Turn on the phone when flashing complete
v.Connect the phone with usb debbuging enabled.
vi.Open the Flashtool
vii.Then press the lock icon on flashtool.
viii.Phone will automatically reeboot after done
c) After rooting update your phone OTA
You can try using Wifi/3G/Edge
OTA Updating
Turn on data network and use the Update center app which is by default in your applist
If u have accidently removed it then i an uploading it to BOX for you to download

and sorry for ask alot
Solved
1. Unlock the Bootloader
2. Install Doomlord Stock Kernel 1.6 ( Pre rooted)
3. Install .62 stock Kernel from .ftf file (Root remains from Doomlord Stock Plus Kernel 1.6 even after installing .62 Rom kernel agian)
4. Re-lock the bootloader with the help of Flashtool.
5. You have Stock ROM rooted and with locked bootloader.
....Worked like Charm for me on my Arc s (LT18i, .62 ROM)
thanks
so what is the differnt between .62 and .42
btw i root my .42
All the Rooting Exploits don't work on .62 ROM as of now......Hence either you need to follow the trick I have mentioned or else roll back to .42........However there is no significance difference between .62 and .42................I am waiting for Official ICS
There's a better memory management according to people here

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 .

What's the output of dooms .bat? I'm guessing you have a locked bootloader?

0.62 fw wasn't rootable when i had it. Just flash back with flashtool or wotan to 0.42 fw root with doomlords pack. Update again and it is rooted.
You can only get root on .42 with doomlords easy root.
Re flash .42 with flashtools get root, if bootloader is locked then update over the air to .62 root will remain.
DO NOT UPDATE OVER THE AIR IF BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED YOU WILL BRICK THE PHONE.

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.

Is there a website that i can find steps to downgrade upgrade so that I can unlock bootloader and root my arc LT15i.
Thanks
You can unlock the bootloader on any firmware... and just search your question up on xda or google
Thanks I thought someone wrote that you could not do that on .62 firmware but they maybe said that I cant root on .62.
Yeh you cant root on .62 so you have to downgrade to .42 and root on that and if you still want to retain the root and go to .62 you have to do an OTA update
Listen,u cant root firmware .62 directly. However,there is a loophole. First,u need to flash firmaware .42. Then, root firmware .42 using zergrush rooting method( there is a thread somewhere in development). After that, check ur update app in the phone and u will get firmware .62 OTA notification. Just download and install it. This is the way to get firmware .62 rooted.
*u must be on locked bootloader
*make sure u dont delete anything after rooting firmware .42
*if u dont get the firmware .62 notification, its not my fault

I presume I once was on .42 and I updated to .62 firmware...
Can anyone tell me what, if any, difference is there between the two.
I have read that some of you have found that the phone is laggy on .62 and went back to .42
Is it maybe too much for the original Arc being on .62
And also I have read once you unlock the bootloader and downgrade, if you want to upgrade again, you have to relock the bootloader?
Thanks for any info
check this out its an excellent thread..
