There are a lot of improvements in that version. You can update if You are only rooted and are on stock ROM. Yes, You will loose the Superuser, but You can always root again.

ok that's strange....
i update to the new 1.96 firmware, i just allowed the phone to download over the air and install it (around 36 mb).
when i go in settings tab i can see the new fw version, but i also still have SUPERSU, how is that possible?

i already did, it seems to work normally.
i can tap t the log, change settings and so on. i also tried to install some new apps and supersu asks as usual to grant permission (but with some delay, let say it needs around 1 minute to show the message n screen)

Hi every one ,,
I have an xperia arc rooted ,,, 4.0.2.A.0.42 , OTA update is available for me , but it seems that I can't update because I have deleted some apps which come with the phone ,, I am not sure this is the reason , it gives me a message "can't update" or something like that when the phone restarts .
is there any way to put the systems files again?! I don't want to re flash the phone and rooted again ,, or can I do that without loosing my apps and ,,, etc?
my thanks
Just put the stuff you deleted back and update.

is there a list for the important ones?! because I don't remember what I have deleted .
or any hints where to find them?
thanks for your respond any way .
You can only update if connected to a wifi network....
if you have had phone unlocked using test point or unlocked bootloader you get a bricked phone with over the air update.
It happened to Me after testpoint unlock.....so Dont use ota if unlocked

OTA means only through the WIFI/3G right? He can update his firmware using SEUS or PC companion, right?
Not with unlocked bl

unfortunately you will have to flash your .42 again then do the OTA update. if you un check wipe user data in flashtool it will not erase your apps but it will reset your theme to the stock theme.
Some people have tried to put back the system apps but i don't think they have been successful.

I had to try a couple of times after flashing .42 to get the OTA to work this one is a bit picky about everything being perfect
it still not working ,,
when I flashed to .42 nothing has changed! my wallpaper my apps , not any thing , I have just lost my root access . does that mean ,,,, well I don't know
any suggestions ?
note:
I didn't see any option for whipping the user data
is there any way to make the phone as if it is brand new?!
I mean there is something wrong , I feel nothing is happening when I flash , even the wallpaper is there which is not the thing that this man said (SL_Don)!
Just relock the bootloaader and you'll be fine!!

I didn't say its unlocked! ,, I have never unlocked my bootloader before
I would recommend custom roms... Works better and has more updates...
The new version you updated to cant be rooted through easy rooting toolkit. So dont know how you should get it back

I have the phone rooted and when I try updating to 4.0.2.A.0.62 it just says can't install. Do I have to flash it all over again, which would mean loosing all apps?
Via OTA?
Better leave it as it is.
Update via computer will remove root.
Data remains with both methods.
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
happened to me too! You have to flash .42 again, root before u do anything else and right after root update via OTA! ;-)
And if you don't wanna do it again next time, backup your applications right after OTA update, so you can restore it for the next OTA update (if any)
Is it not possible to unroot, and then update to 4.0.2.A.0.62 ?

Rooting the phone doesn't prevent the OTA update, messing with system apps does. (And you usually mess with system apps when rooted)

Ahh of course.. Iv'e deleted a few system apps and messed with other things (crapware)
When you put them back, you can update your firmware. When you do it OTA, you will keep your root.
Furtermore, this update won't remove any data or apps.

What should I use for backup?
Titanium backup will do, and by the way, if you find your current firmware you can try and restore one by one the bloatware you deleted or restoring any mod you have installed, I did this and I was able to update via OTA again.
It doesn't work. I flashed
LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.42 Generic Global World (EASY ROOT WITH FLASHTOOLS): http://uploaded.to/file/vmfu4czg
Used flashtools to root right away, still says can't update.
Says Could not install

You may consider either retrying (some people reported having to flash twice or thrice before it would work) or using another firmware, or using a different flash software (I did updated OTA after flashing .42 with wotanclient).
I experience this. What I did I reflash with rootable firmware then root with flashtool without removing any app then I directly update OTA. Then I successfully install.

I have similar problem and now I have a rooted .62 NAM firmware.
What I did is the following:
Flash your phone to .42 firmware with flashtools
Update your phone to .62 with PC companion
Re-flash your phone back to .42 with flashtools
Root your phone with flashtools
Update your phone to .62 with OTA
No need for step 2, 3 and 4!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Just have a rooted .42 firmware with an locked bootloader ( i seriously doubt that you have a locked boot loader )
Aftet that just update to .62 over the air [OTA]
If this doesn't works then either flash a pre rooted .62 firmware via fastboot or flash a fresh unrooted firmware via flashtool and then root it by recovery method! If you still have a problem then PM me!

Yes I know that normaly steps 2,3,4 are not required but somehow I had to do it for 3 of the Arcs I rooted.

So you never tried doing the stuff without step 2,3 and 4?? It will work for sure....cause there are only two ways (till now)to have a rooted .62 as stated in my previous post!
But you can guide someone with your method if the original two doesnt work!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
I havent gone through all the posts of this thread but i think that the guy aint asking how to have a rooted .62 (incase he is then plenty of threads for it and me and my fellow members have also posted about it here)
Hes just having problem in updating via pc companion.....and the only solution i have is relocking the bootloader, i know i keep asking to lock the bootloader but thats the key to it!
If i missed any point here and please feel free to let me know! ;-)

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...
I havent tried this but it could be possible. you need unlocked bootloader for this. update to the new 4.3 update, then flash a custom kernel from 4.1.2(one with cwm), boot into recover mode and click reboot phone. it will say "phone not rooted, root now?" click yes and it shall put SU files in /xbin. flash back to stock 4.3 ernel and then download supersu or superuser from play store to manage root apps - dont need a app like this for root, permission is automatically accepted without this app so you dont nesseserily need it. this worked for my stock 4.1.2 ROM and in theory should work for 4.3. I havent tested it yet but because i havent updated yet but i will test in the next 1-2 hours when i get a chance
