Original Poster. How is he going to update his fone from .253 to .305 and still keep root? I'm sure he'd like the security updates, slow as they are...

Hi
I also have a question. Are all these Mods for 431 with 587 compatible?

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...
Hi everyone .
I'm new to xda.
I have 1 question..
Will I get the official OTA updates from htc if I unlock the bootloader ?
Yes ! As long as you don't remove system apps (edit the stock rom) !
You can update with these criteria
Stock rom (with or without root)
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Unlocked bootloader

Are you sure about that? I can't see how Play can be deleted without at least root. If it is deleted then a factory reset might fix it but be sure to backup important data such add pictures and music first.

Yes rooting is fine, what you need to do before installing an OTA update is re-lock your bootloader. This is because the OTA update will try to install through CWM or whatever other recovery you have flashed.

Read the above ^^
A custom recovery will never install a HTC official update, not even when you relock the bootloader !

I suppose most people with root phone will have a custom recovery. So the first step would be flash back the "Stock recovery", then only can update.

I think of my own self only. In my case, I only rooted but without custom rom.
So I only need to flash back the stock recovery.

By entering the bootloader and then to recovery, if you see a sign with triangle and a phone icon you have stock. If it enters directly you can see its custom.
Not by checking the software on the phone. If its a custom rom it can be anything !

Yes it will definitely erase everything
Even your root will be lost
Just simply flash the ftf file in flashmode using flastool
I would recommend to go for the update if root is not that important for you
Becoz the phone is now hell lot smooth and fast :thumbup:

[GUIDE] [ROOT] Xperia ZL .2.67 fw using DooMLoRD Rooting Kit
Flash only the kernel.sin & loader.sin from older .423ftf package using FlashTool
Uncheck all wipe options
Check all exclude option EXCEPT Exclude Kernel

Reboot the device and make sure USB Debugging & Unknown Sources are allowed in settings
Now root using the latest DoomLord Kit v18 (No other version of kit will work)
Turn Off the Device and put in Flash Mode (Press Volume Down while attaching usb cable)
Now open the latest .569 ftf (from here that you upload) package and repeat the check and uncheck process as earlier

Today I bought my first smartphone...a brand new Sony xperia z1 compact.
I bought it from Telstra shop(in Australia). I read different topics and I have some questions...
I wonder if (without rooting)I can have the mobile without all the Telstra stuff and apps.
The phone comes with Android 4.3 and In Australia is not aviable the update to Kitkat,is possible change the Australian firmware to an European one without rooting?
I’m a bit confused for what to do...
Thanks in Advance.

If I understood correctly I can't use the Flash tool for Xperia because Sony doesn’t support the D5503.
If I use the Flashtool can I have android 4.3 ver 14.2.A.142(no brand,stock version)?
If yes where I can get it?
Thanks a lot.

If you're debranding the device then it's not tied to a carrier, but you should still be able to update when it's released for the ROM you flash through PC Companion, although Many People just flash an ftf from here when updating.

You could try and make an ftf to reflash if no one has uploaded one but that won't back up your Phone as it is now, you'll need root and CWM for that. Flash an unbranded ftf and never look back.

I haven't installed it yeat and made a copy before I soon will install it. I'm rooted with S-off. Is it strait forward to install it without loosing root and S-off?
Anyone interested in this ZIP-file? If so just tell me where to upload it. 614.47MB

The phone has to be 100% stock, with all system files intact, and the stock recovery. S-OFF will stay, and being rooted shouldn't be an issue though
