I've rooted my Xperia Pro with Android 2.3.4 version build number 4.0.2.A.0.58. After that i don't install the latest update 4.0.2.A.0.62 via OTA. When i trying to install it with Wi-Fi, my phone is rebooting and a installer logo appearing. I know, it's installing latest update. In very short time the phone rebooting again and i receive a error after phone fully opening: "The update cannot installed"
Please help me
Modified system ?

After rooting, if you deleted some apps which you felt were not necessary, then it would cause the problem you mentioned.
The OTA update first checks if the system has been tampered with. If it detects changes, it aborts the installation.
What you can do is to redownload your firmware from the forum, flash it using Flashtool, root it and then try updating it OTA.
And FYI, ICS is out for pro, if you want to try it out.

You say that: If system were rooted, installation cannot continue.
Hmmm. I understand.
You can aslo flash .62 directly with Flashtool.
There are pre-rooted firmwares in some threads here.
I solved my problem with repairing bootloader unlock (i locked it again). Then the update successfully done.
Thank you for your interest.

hey u can update via SEUS or FOTA (OTA) ONLY IF U ARE HAVING YOUR locked BOOTLOADER otherwise seus won't work and ota will break your phone.....
you can flash ftf files if u are having unlocked BL....
This update needs to be instaled over SEUS (OTA not work this time)
My bootloader is LOCKED
and i have root-ed 2.3.3, rooted with gingerbreak...followed tutorial on this site...
so i can update via SEUS without loosinj ROOT?
Everytime you use SEUS (PC Companion) you will remove root. Because it flashes the phone in much more extent (taking out root) compared to OTA. That's why the OTA retains the root, it just updates modules and does not entirely flash the phone.
For phones with locked bootloaders, the OTA is the way to update with root retained.
and just one question more..
what is best (your oppinions)
2.3.3 rooted
or
2.3.4 un rooted with
xLoud
zoom in picture mod
and more features
Latest 2.3.3 with root and all the features you posted is the best.
2.3.4 isn't out yet...

2.3.4 isn't out yet.
Stock firmware (by Sony Ericsson)
4.0.A.2.368 - Android 2.3.3 (newest official) (updated launcher, CRT display off animation, theme support, xLOUD, faster boot time, ...)
This update is also available on PC Companion for most users with 3.0.1! (will kill root)
HOW TO GET A ROOTED 4.0:
1. Flash back to 2.3.2 (Arc users: use this file with Flashtool, Neo users: flash to Generic Trade Germany with Wotanserver)
2. Root with Gingerbreak, do not do anything else
3. Update from the phone (Settings -> About -> Software update)
4. Done!
Arc
Available on Wotanserver.com (click for customization list)
Flashtool (LT15i): Generic Global (mirror) -Nordic Telia Branded
Neo
Available on Wotanserver.com (click for customization list)
Flashtool: Hong Kong (not sure if it's generic, I recommend wotanserver if you don't mind losing user data)

ROOT on upgraded 2.3.4 from SEUS

The Answer to this question is c l e a r l y NO !
Here's what happened to me provided it may help someone to whom the same occured.
I was rooted 2.3.4 through dataguben's tutorial (flash .184 then .181 then gingerbreak and finish with OTA) Everything was fine then i decided to unlock bootloader to get Cyanogen and test it. Had CM7 running a few days but it doesn't support HDMI and some other stuff regarding camera. Anyway, i decided to get back to STOCKROM but for some reason, the backup i made on recovery would not restore (freezed on SE logo). I flashed back through datagubben's method but on OTA, SuRpRiSe ! ! ! ------> PHONE BRICKED !
So the OTA with unlocked Bootloader BrIcKs the phone.
REMEDY : go to http://www.mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd and download the small 99.8 KB relocking file. Use flashtool to relock your bootloader. Once done you'll reboot on the version you were on just before the OTA bricked the phone. Since now it's impossible to upgrade through OTA the only option left to have ROOTED 2.3.4 is to upgrade through the latest version of SEUS http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1317636927/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.10.7.exe and go for an upgrade. Once done, plug back your phone to flashtool (USE VERSION 0.4.2 or above) and click on root. Be patient as this requires flashtool to go through TWO steps to ROOT your phone. Your ARC will then reboot and you should have SUPERUSER among your applications.
Thanks to XDA community for all the great tips given here and there to help each other.
PS: If you want one full application that gives sense to a rooted phone's existence, try ROM ToolBox and that's it. It's awesome.

Hi.
You may consider this as a spam if you like, but if this maximizes the chances for someone who's in trouble with his/her phone to find answers, i don't mind refreshing this. Besides, "out of time & context posts" helped me figure out new directions to repair my phone.
All the best ...
I rooted my Arc using Zergrush, and now I have a notification to root OTA. Will doing so brick my Arc?
Also if I u update using PC Companion, can I root 0.62 using Zergrush?

if you update with seus or PC companion you will loose root. .62 cannot be rooted at this time directly with a locked bootloader.
if you have not uninstalled any system apps then you can do an OTA update (directly from the phone) and maintain root.
if you have uninstalled system apps then you will need to re-flash with flash tool a .42 or.58 rom root it then do an OTA update to .62.
I havent deleted any app and i Cant update it. Why? U flashed the worldwide rom 2.3.3 for this Arc.

It aint a big deal...nothing would happen! More or less you won't be able to update! Relocking the boot loader would do the thing! But if you removed some bloatware then you might consider flashing the same firmware you are using again, wiping everything and then rooting it again! And then doing the OTA update!
Making an nandroid backup before reflashing the firmware is required so that you can restore your apps and settings! Many people ran into the problem where ota update wont work even with locked boot loader and they pin pointed removing some system apps or bloatware for it! Well in that case i already suggested you!

If you've deleted any of the apk's from the system/apps or system/vendor/apps, then the phone will not be able to update.
Your two options are to flash the latest ftf file or to replace the files that you deleted.
BTW, are you on an unlocked bootloader?
You update it with PCC, and then root it again using suitable methods (search root .587, to sum up, its flashing older kernel, using exploit for older kernel and flashing new kernel).
I don't think it will work other way.
Hello. Sorry for asking this here, but I didn't want to make a new thread just for this...
Is there any way to update Arc S to 4.1.B.0.587 FW manually? Like CWM update.zip? Or it is not that important update? Because I'm getting standard "could not update" in Update Center, and to be honest I don't want to flash clean rom and root again just to update via OTA, because I did a lot of modding to my phone and doing all that again will be very time consuming...
Thanks in advance for answer and sorry for waste your time

Thanks for not starting a new thread. Use the flashtool to update manually.
so... this is my second problem today, the first one was with the FTS, but no its woking~
The problem is the Root. Yeah, the root...
I have tried to root my device using this and others FTS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43935357&postcount=2
but dont know why, if i use, for example R800i_4.0.2.A.0.69_World.ftf or R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf, my device dont accept the root...
BUT, if i use :R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World and other lower version, he accept... anyone know what to do? i'm trying to use DoomLords root, tried every version... help, again!
EDIT: now that i have tihnk for a time... the stock rom that came with the xperia play, acepted the root, so, its 2.3.2? the only problem is that i dont remember some stuffs in the 2.3.2, so i thin it is only 2.3.3 that came with the xperia play whe i buy it...
Already solved the problem.
You can only root devices from 2.3.2 down...
The strange is that I tthink may xperia play came with 2.3.4 and I rooted it before it bricks in boot loop...

you can root 2.3.4 until version 58 (enhanced v3) with locked bootloader. just flash the ftf, boot, enable usb-debugging and mass storage device (instead of mtp at usb-connection) and root it via flashtool.
otherwise unlock your bootloader and install a superuser application in any rom you want. flash the latest firmware (.79), flash custom kernel, install supersu or superuser via cwm and you got the newest firmware rooted.
