[Q] help updating to .62 firmware

i already flashed .42 via flashtool then root with zergrush but iam not abble to update over the air it says "update failed"
i havent removed any apps
¿Any other way to get .62 rooted firmware without unlocking bootloader?

i prefer u to not use .62 firmware as rooting in this firmware is not possible man..!!

check your internet connection..make sure you update it through wifi

I think i will stay on .42
thanks for your answers =)

Root .42 & Update to .62
If u want to update OTA ........
a) Your Boot loader should not be unlocked (Default setting by Sony Ericsson)
b) Root your phone which is running on .42 firmware using the latest Flashtools v 0.6.8
Note :
i.First install Flash tool.
ii.Connect the phone in Flash Mode
iii.Flash it with 4.0.2.A.0.42
iv.Turn on the phone when flashing complete
v.Connect the phone with usb debbuging enabled.
vi.Open the Flashtool
vii.Then press the lock icon on flashtool.
viii.Phone will automatically reeboot after done
c) After rooting update your phone OTA
You can try using Wifi/3G/Edge
OTA Updating
Turn on data network and use the Update center app which is by default in your applist
If u have accidently removed it then i an uploading it to BOX for you to download

[Q] Downgrade from ICS

I have a nandroid backup of the .42 gb rom and im currently on stock ICS.
When i restore the .42 rom i cant start my wifi, as the kernal remains of ICS.
I have a locked bootloader, Arc S.
Can I just flash the kernal after restoring .42?
And can someone plz explain how i do this?
And if i need just a kernal file can someone plz gimme the link for it?
Thanx...

Use "repair phone" in PC Companion, it'll remove everything and flash rom, correct kernel etc.

Can u provide me with a .42 ftf ? Im sorry, cant seem to find one. Dont want to use wontan. Im stuck on ICS. Any help would be nice plz.

Most stock roms are here
Usually the resources for ARC/ARC S are in the "Xperia Arc General" Section

And from unlocked bootloader? Can do directly with FlashTool or first I have to flash the Stock Kernel?

Downgrade from nandroid
Hi,
I have a xperia neo....with rooted stock firmware .62 and unlocked bootloader (testpoint method)...I have taken a nandroid backup of it
I just wanted to try out ics...so planning to update using PCcompanion
Before updating...i just want to know
1. whether it's possible to downgrade to gb through cwm nandroid restore? Do I need to flash the kernel for .62 after the nandroid restore ?
2. will root access be restored after the downgrade? Since .62 is cannot be rooted, I'll have to flash .42 to get root access
I don't want to start restoring all the installed apps...hence thinking of using nandroid backup against flashtool

[Q] Update PC Companion? Unlocked BL?

Can you update via PC Companion to update your firmware if you have an Unlocked Bootloader, but have stock kernel and rom (not modified).

Not you can't it will mess your phone.

Here is the link on the only way to get a 4.3 rooted phone if you have a locked bootloader.

Which ROM were you running? The generic Sony 4.2.2 or the one from your carrier.
I just checked my phone against SUS and PC Companion and they are both telling me that my 67 build is the latest firmware. 4.3 still hasn't been pushed for the C6506.
