.69 just addresses legal issues with Gmail, just flash .62, there are practically no differences.
Well, when im on .62 with some kernels.. update center shows me that i have a new update but its again .62 and i dont want to install it because it bricks phones wit unlocked bootloader and i dont want to delete update-center app

Use titanium to back up the update center first, then uninstall it.
I don't really understand why you want to keep it though. If your bootloader is unlocked that app is completely useless anyway.

I have the phone rooted and when I try updating to 4.0.2.A.0.62 it just says can't install. Do I have to flash it all over again, which would mean loosing all apps?
Via OTA?
Better leave it as it is.
Update via computer will remove root.
Data remains with both methods.
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
happened to me too! You have to flash .42 again, root before u do anything else and right after root update via OTA! ;-)
And if you don't wanna do it again next time, backup your applications right after OTA update, so you can restore it for the next OTA update (if any)
Is it not possible to unroot, and then update to 4.0.2.A.0.62 ?

Rooting the phone doesn't prevent the OTA update, messing with system apps does. (And you usually mess with system apps when rooted)

Ahh of course.. Iv'e deleted a few system apps and messed with other things (crapware)
When you put them back, you can update your firmware. When you do it OTA, you will keep your root.
Furtermore, this update won't remove any data or apps.

What should I use for backup?
Titanium backup will do, and by the way, if you find your current firmware you can try and restore one by one the bloatware you deleted or restoring any mod you have installed, I did this and I was able to update via OTA again.
It doesn't work. I flashed
LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.42 Generic Global World (EASY ROOT WITH FLASHTOOLS): http://uploaded.to/file/vmfu4czg
Used flashtools to root right away, still says can't update.

You may consider either retrying (some people reported having to flash twice or thrice before it would work) or using another firmware, or using a different flash software (I did updated OTA after flashing .42 with wotanclient).
I experience this. What I did I reflash with rootable firmware then root with flashtool without removing any app then I directly update OTA. Then I successfully install.

I have similar problem and now I have a rooted .62 NAM firmware.
What I did is the following:
Flash your phone to .42 firmware with flashtools
Update your phone to .62 with PC companion
Re-flash your phone back to .42 with flashtools
Root your phone with flashtools
Update your phone to .62 with OTA
No need for step 2, 3 and 4!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Just have a rooted .42 firmware with an locked bootloader ( i seriously doubt that you have a locked boot loader )
Aftet that just update to .62 over the air [OTA]
If this doesn't works then either flash a pre rooted .62 firmware via fastboot or flash a fresh unrooted firmware via flashtool and then root it by recovery method! If you still have a problem then PM me!

So you never tried doing the stuff without step 2,3 and 4?? It will work for sure....cause there are only two ways (till now)to have a rooted .62 as stated in my previous post!
But you can guide someone with your method if the original two doesnt work!

I havent gone through all the posts of this thread but i think that the guy aint asking how to have a rooted .62 (incase he is then plenty of threads for it and me and my fellow members have also posted about it here)
Hes just having problem in updating via pc companion.....and the only solution i have is relocking the bootloader, i know i keep asking to lock the bootloader but thats the key to it!
If i missed any point here and please feel free to let me know! ;-)

Since you are using fastboot i assume you got an unlocked boot loader. So here is a easy way to root .62
And in case you are done with it and want to have recovry on stock kernel then you should install CWM AUTO INSTALLER from market/play store. Just follow the instructions after running the app! If you have any problem you can drop a question here or in the thread i suggested you!

Since you dont want to unlock your bootloader...you got to follow the OTA stuff.
Here is what you gonna need...
A fresh .42 firmware, flashtools. You can get the stuff from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314
Now,
1. Flash the .42 firmware with flashtools
2. Root it with flashtools (the above thread tells you how to)
3. Update your phone over the air.
F.A.Q.
Q. I already have a rooted .42, why should i flash it again and then have root acess?
A. Most of the users uninstall the bloatware or other stock based stuff and then they face problems during updating the phone OTA. Hence to be on the safer side...its advised to flash the .42 firmware and root it again.

If you have bootloader locked you will need to down grade your firmware to build 42 do this download program called flashtools available on xda.
Download from xda the .42 file use flashtools to load on to phone.
Then root with either zergrush method or from flashtools.
Once rooted use ota to update to latest build 62
if bootloader is unlocked then do as described in previous posts.
All software and tools are available in general or q&a sections.

there may be different methods you can use
1st. flash the .ftf(ics firmware) file using the flashtool and also the corresponding kernel
search the forum for arc and you will certainly find the firmware file and the procedure....JUST SEARCH FOR IT.:good:
2nd. ANTOTHER method is to unlock the bootloader and feel free to try any rom of your choice(although this voids the warranty :silly
there has been a variety of roms(custom and stock) available for THE ARC.
rest is your choice

Simply flash a .587 stock firmware through FLASHTOOL
Today I bought my first smartphone...a brand new Sony xperia z1 compact.
I bought it from Telstra shop(in Australia). I read different topics and I have some questions...
I wonder if (without rooting)I can have the mobile without all the Telstra stuff and apps.
The phone comes with Android 4.3 and In Australia is not aviable the update to Kitkat,is possible change the Australian firmware to an European one without rooting?
I’m a bit confused for what to do...

If you're debranding the device then it's not tied to a carrier, but you should still be able to update when it's released for the ROM you flash through PC Companion, although Many People just flash an ftf from here when updating.

You could try and make an ftf to reflash if no one has uploaded one but that won't back up your Phone as it is now, you'll need root and CWM for that. Flash an unbranded ftf and never look back.
