[Q] (MK16i) update after rooting - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi XDA,
i Am using sonyericsson xperia pro (mk16i) i want to root it,
someone pls tell me will i get offcial ICS update using Sony PC Companion after getting rooted.

Root only? Yes

if you only root your phone, without unlock your bootloader, you can use pcc or update service to repair/update fw.

Ya sure. BTW anyone knows when ICS update is rolling out for pro.

Yea you can't root build .62 using the zergrush or super click method. To do that you need to downgrade to. 42 or unlock your bootloader.

I would download Flashtool if you didn't already have it and use it to root your phone. You can use it to flash ftf files without having to use the PC Companion and it has built in root functionality.
You can't root firmware .62 or above. Either downgrade to .58 or lower, or live without root since you're not planning on unlocking
that's also my trouble and i don't know why!!!!
i tried a lot of ways and didn't work so please help me also -_-.....

Can I flash stock firmware with locked bootloader?

Hey everybody, I just have a question about the boot-loader, can I flash firmwares that's in a ftf or using update service when I have a Xperia S with locked bootloader using the Sony method? Or do they just talk about when you update your phone using the update app on your phone? I'm just curious because I don't want to brick my new phone.
Yes
Ok any links on how I do this?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Is it so hard to type on google or youtube "How to flach a stock firmware with locked Bl?"
I bet you will find a answer to your question.
Anyway.. You can use flashtool to to flach a stock rom.. just download the latest .ftf file and install it on your phone using flashtool..
need tutorial? just watch at youtube.. its easy
Both of you need to stop, XDA is place where people help each other. If you do not know the answer or have no intention to contribute then stop posting irrelevant comments and bump up the thread.
Yes you posted in the right section. Thanks for that. :good:
And if any user or post offended you then rather posting back, you straight report to the Moderator. That is much helpful. This is the icon for the Report option, at the top right corner of each post.

And now to answer your questions-
Yes you can certainly flash any Stock ROM in your device, bootloader unlocking is not required for that. Bootloader unlocking is required if you only need to use custom ROM or custom kernel.
This is how to flash. Follow the steps. It's given with the screenshots
http://communities-origin.sonyericsson.com/message/398851
And finally you can search more, cause every new questions are being already answered somewhere in this forum of Xperia S.
Still to ease your trouble, I am sharing this thread-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876890
Ask anything there, it's greatly helpful.
Good luck.
It's just easy you need only flashtool and ftf file which holds your firmware:laugh:

Finished upgrading and I didn't notice any difference between .244 and .267 battery life seen to improve a little bit. That's the only thing that is noticeable

Does the root method in .244 work for the new firmware ?
Can anyone upload the ftf?
anyone knows where I can find this update for the C6502 unbranded? thx!
OK, so anyone see anything different? I dont see any difference at all.

It is an option when rooting, as stated on the website. Just have a look on the link on the first post
Worked on my stock Xperia S without "fixing it myself"! Previous versions didn't.
