I want to update my phone but It keeps getting an error
Rooted: Yes Zerg Rush Method With SuperSU and Superuser
Bloatware: Yes reinstalled
Build: 3.0.1.E.0.88
Believe me you do not want to update. With that said, you have to be unrooted to download the update, but once it's downloaded you can root and install the update. So unroot, download ota update, click update later (or whatever it says), root your phone, install update and enjoy your rooted 2.3.4 r800x.

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.

That's the question. I have an Arc S with .58 firmware (downgrade from .62 because I wanted to root). I tried to OTA but I wasn't able to, apparently beause I don't have a generic firmware.
1) Is it worth to downgrade to .42, root and then update to .62? I ask this because the ICS is rolling out. Will I be able to root OTA to ICS, though I've a rooted phone?
2) Is it possible to update my rooted phone to .62 with PCCompanion?
3) In any case of updating (via OTA or via PCCompanion) will I loose my sdcard data?
Addition: I've installed an app called CWM Auto Installer and made a Nandroid backup. After the update to .62 firmware will I be able to restore this backup and use it without any problems?

1. I say yes because you can have root access even though ICS is coming out. Also you can't update OTA to ICS, they're going to make you update to ICS through PC Companion
2. Yes, but if you update through PC Companion, you will lose root access.
3. No, it shouldn't affect your SD card data
4. I believe you can, but don't take my word for it.

additionally it is best if you put all apps that you moved to the sd card back to phone so that you can put them in sd after flashing to ICS
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.

Did I read it right? If I apply this file, I wont have to keep on rooting/unrooting to take on updates? Or can I reset counter using triangle method?
Just dl voodoo ota root keeper from the play store, temp unroot accept the ota update and reroot using the app works perfectly
Either way will take you to the latest update. If you use triangle method, just follow instructions to reroot
and ota rootkeeper wont install stock recovery for you. it also wont replace any system files you may have messed wit. still too many chances for the ota to fail
-my 2 cents

Download Freeza's ALL IN ONE zip and install through recovery.

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:
