Hi I rooted my SE xperia play (R800I) 2.3.4 using unlock root but I did not unlock the boot loader I was just wondering what can I do with a rooted phone with a locked boot loader and when ICS comes out for the R800I will it just wipe the root and install the update , when i choose to do so ?
Thank you

can anybody help me ?
....i want to install .zip files themes on my arc.
phone : xperia arc
firmware : 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.42
rooted via flashtool v 0.4.2
locked bootloader....
Currently it is not possible via locked bootloader, you have to unlock bootloader.
I am also waiting any method that will work with locked bootloader.

Hello Guys
I saw this custom rom ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599906
so my question is if I installed this ICS custom rom
and I didn't like it can I back to the original firmware via flashtool ?
and does this custom room needs unlocked bootloader .
Thanks
If its an ICS you will need a kernel, so you will need an unlocked boot loader to flash the kernel, every time you see this rom requires this kernel, you will need an unlocked bootloader

Smile [Q] Xperia Play firmware problem
It is because your bootloader is unlocked! It will only recognize locked bootloader and even if it did it would not let you update.You need to relock your bootloader if you want to use that.:good:

Use flashtool to flash the 6.2.B.1.96 ftf on your phone. Then use Flash tool and flash this boot loader relocking file - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43898758&postcount=2
