I just updated my arc via PC companion software to .62 firmware.
I rooted it earlier by super one click method by DooMLorD from here.
Now after the update I don't have root access and I can't get it back by the same way or by GingerBreak and I can still see superuser icon.
The system apps are reaaally using too much memory.
Any idea how i can solve that please?!

using flash tool and a .42 FTF downgrade from .62 to .42 un check wipe cash and wipe user data and you save everything.
root using flashtool
do an OTA update to .62 and you remain root.
then and only then can you delete system apps you dont want. if you change the system aps befor the OTA update it will fail to update.

What needs to be done in the following ORDER
1 - Get yourself a firmware (whichever one you want) .42
1.1 - Connect your phone to your computer
2 - Using the application called Flashtool which be can be found on the forum (multiple threads) Flash the the rom. You will loose all your contacts, sms etc...
2.2 - Wait for the tool to tell you that it's done flashing
2.3 - Using ZergRush or Flashtool ROOT your phone.
3 - Start your phone and disconnect it from the PC
4 - Press the menu button and go to SETTINGS - ABOUT PHONE - SOFTWARE UPDATE
5 - This will verify and push the OTA for .62 to your phone.
That's pretty much it in the simplest way possible.

it`s not so easy
I did it exactly step by step,
phone shows information about upgrade but what i need is PC Companion to do that. This information is in notification about new firmware.
ok I did it but first I had flashed LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.58_Generic Global HK because only after that I could upgrade withouth PC Companion.
thx for advice.
Yeah that was point 1. Which was to get yourself a firmware version .42... then yeah you can update via OTA...
I can't update .42 OTA it is possible only when i flash .58 first...

How about if I'm already on firmware .42 rooted with locked Bootloader, can I update to .62 OTA and still have root?

I still have a small question about this.
Would I still be able to update OTA (from France) with .42 World or shall I use a .42 France ?

That's what I have done, and worked well.
Question: How can I update via OTA? Is there a site like wotanserver or something? Or is OTA an app I can download somewhere?
I updated my WT19 with PC Companion, it has .62 firmware now, but I need root to delete system apps and clear space on internal memory.
Anyway I always update via wotanserver, because I can't find the .ftf I need to flash it via flashtool. And now I'm having problems with wotanserver, so where can I find those firmware files (ftf) ?? (for my model)
Hi, is possible update 4.1.b.0.431 to 4.1.b.0.587 directly without loose root? with flashtool and no wipe userdata? the procedure Xperia-ROOT work on this case? put on 431 and push back on 587? thanks

Yes. What kernel you got to lose that you worry about? Root, yes, you lose.
SEUS is Sony Ericsson Update Service with old name, SUS(Sony Update Service) is new name.

Hello everyone!
I have a Live with Walkman (WT19i) phone with rooted 4.1.B.0.431 firmware.
Last night i tried the OTA (Over the air) update, so my superuser permissions will not be lost.
So my phone downloads the update, restarts and proceeds through the 2 out of 4 steps of the update(box + up arrow image on screen). On the 3rd step(down arrow image on screen) there is a bit loading on the bar and then my phone restarts normally.
After the restart I get the message "Could not install update software. Try again." (or smthing similar)
Any ideas???

I tried this on my dad's Ray. OTA update failed multiple times, until he updated it with PC Companion. Root was lost, ofcourse, but then I just flashed the old kernel, rooted with suitable exploit and flashed the latest kernel again. Nothing was lost on the phone (few apps got installed again, like wisepilot, facebook, facebook inside xperia and some carriers bloatware - took me 10 minutes to remove all that junk).

Some bugs fixed, generally faster, battery lasts longer.
The OTA update fails because of the root, most likely cause you moved from the system some app that's necessary.

Most probably yes, because I also get an error when trying to flash with Flashtool . . .
So do I flash back to .431? hmmm...

Not 100% but I'm pretty sure you will. Bin4ry's root method doesn't work yet with the .55 firmware

Deny that update, and wait for OTA update, OTA updates doesn't affect root.
It was like that with my old arc, with my wife's xperia S, and its like that with my Ion too.
AW: [Q] Will i lose my root after sony update?
Thank you very much for your help
So i have to wait till Bin4ry will update his root tool so that i can use it with my Sony Xperia S locked bootlader 6.1.A.2.55
if som1 would new if this tool comes out and can root 6.1.A.2.55 i would be very nice if he/she could tell me that
AFAIK the only method to root .55 was just bin4ry method done before updating..
so, you won't loose your root (as far as you don't wipe data/system)

He can't. Sony fixed the exploit he was using which is why it doesn't work on newer firmwares.

SUS will remove root.
The backup & restore app will only put back apps and app data. You can always use flashtools to restore to .50

Right now i'm on rooted 6.1.A.2.50 , and i just got the notification for the .55 update. But i can't update it over the phone , it says i should use PC companion. If i update over pc companion, will i lose root and the files that i deodexed?
hey guys,
i am on stock .211 that doomlord provided when it was released, i have an unlocked bootloader and its rooted.. but no recovery because i think the kernel is stock...
will it be ok if i update the phone using pc companion? or will it brick my phone?

I answered in eXistenZ already (why are you asking this is in different places at once btw, impatient much?), but now I'm on my pc so I can give you a few links. Pc Companion won't be able to install an update on an unlocked bootloader, even if your kernel is stock. You can use EMMA, it's pretty much the same, downloads the latest firmware for your region and installs it (but I think there's no automated backup, so it'll wipe your phone, you need to prepare a backup yourself). You can find EMMA here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/. It's possible that EMMA says the latest available firmware is .200 or .211, but try it anyway because it might install .96. I had this when the JB update was being rolled out, EMMA stated the latest firmware was .50 but it installed .200.
If EMMA doesn't install .96, it's possible this update hasn't rolled out in your region yet. I think you better select the firmware yourself... Why don't you just flash DooMLorD's advanced stock kernel for .96 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302393) and flash the deodexed zip version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425192&highlight)? Or if you just want stock, why don't you flash the ftf?

I'm sorry I actually was in a bit of a hurry... Well I tried EMMA and as u stated it installed .200 so I'm downloading the ftf now.. I'm a bit worried about bricking my phone, though.
Thanks anyway and sorry for the inconvenience.

I bought a Z1c recently, and it came with the 14.2.A.1.114 build. I wanted to update to Kit Kat, but nor the PC companion, nor the OTA app and not even de SUS cam find the update, they all say my phone is fully updated.
Does anyone know the reason for this?
Does updating with the flashtool void warranty or anything of the sort?
Can I avoid flashing the userdata if I update with the flashtool to not wipe my memory?
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app
No one has an answer?
Is your phone branded and what excacly ver have you? Write your model like for example d5503. You can always download firmware from xda and flash with flashtool its very simple
Do backup your internal memory to pc etc and firstly try flash without wipe. The worst thing that can be is bootloop. If your phone stuck on bootloop you need flash again firmware with full wipe. After that everything will be ok
