[Q] Just rooted.

I have just rooted using Superoneclick with ZergRush, (bootloader is still locked), and uninstalled some of the bloat (video unlimited, timescape, etc....), using Titanium.
My question is that when Sony Ericsson release an OTA update (i'm currently on 2.3.4). Will I be able to update without any problems?
If not how would I go about updating?
I have an unbranded generic R800i (UK model).
Thanks.
(sorry if this question has been answered before).

Thanks. Was worried there for a moment.

You can unlock with SDK.Sony Ericsson will let you unlock boot loader but!you lose your warranty.just google and get the code from se to unlock bl.it didn't effect if you are rooted and have locked bl.

Not really bothered about unlocking the boot loader atm. Just wanted to root so I could remove some of the bloat.

Actually if you delete any files from /system/app/ you will not be able to ota update (update will fail). But afaik you can still use seus/pc companion to update.

It want work,you have to downgrade the kernel using flashtools then root,then upgrade back to 587.
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY.

Hi guys... I was looking here on the forum any solution for my problem and couldnt find it out, sorry if theres a topic about it, I couldn't find it.
I've got my Xperia Arc S 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.62 LT18i and I've rooted it with the doomlord tool, it worked fine and looked like if it rooted normally but now I can't install any app coz it says that its not root, needs to install supersu and/or busybox so ok, I've tried to install SuperSu but when I open it, it says that there is no binary files and cant install it... I've updated its version and also tried to reinstall but no way, always the same message. =/ Does anyone know how to solve it?
Thanks.

You can't root. 62 using the zergrush root.
Best way is to downgrade the kernel to. 42 then root, then upgrade to .62 either by ota or by using flashtools.

Can enlighten about the upgrade via flashtool as I lost root if upgrade via flashtool. Usually wipe is all tick, exclude & verfication is left untick when flash upgrade root .42 to .62?

What you suggest update it or not? I heard rooting is not possible after upgrade to .55 with lock bootloader. Anything new in this firmware except baseband.

Some says better battery life.

I'm using that and yes impossible to root without unlocked BL.. You'll lose your cwm, root, kernel..
Xperia S - .55 Stock FW, Unlocked BL, Advanced Stock Kernel

So i love to stay in Locked bootloader. No need to update it.

The OTA upgrade kept root on my XPS.

You can use flashtool for flashing firmware on locked bootloader
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium

Download the original .55 firmware
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/32d781xcq7vx5re/v6ercyFTgS#
Extract and put the ftf file in the flashtool/firmware folder
In Flashtool click in the upper left ray and select flash mode.
Select the downloaded firmware and click ok.
Power off the phone and connect while press volume down
When finished reboot your phone
Good luck and sorry for my english

U can use SEUS: ( http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/ ) or flashtool as you phone can't bootup so you can't use PC Companion as i know.But thees two other programs will work.SEUS is easier to use.Hope you'll get it fixed.
