Thanks! What about root? How do we root this thing?

can it be flashed on Arc?

Nothing exciting about this update. Phone is no faster and needs a root option.

is there a way to update this without loosing data? thanks...

if you use DoomLords kernel u should be able to root via flashtool or SOC as it is an insecure kernel. i think....

I'd wait for a new Kernal based on the new firmware. Also if you unselect "wipe user data" you should keep your data. I did but I lost the root from my phone.
Just make sure you backup first

I was able to update official using SEUS. Only lost my Facebook-settings due to the enhanced Facebook in Xperia features (which I can't use because of a relock bootloader...)

I have posted a thread on how to install without losing data and then how to root

Perhaps because you have moded your cell? I suppose you should try to do the update using PCC. And it should work then.
Or you can revert to the original software. (using the back up of CwM) and then try.

I only rooted the phone...if I update using PCC, my root will be lost???...
Yes, your root will indeed be lost.
What I mean by modding is that you applied some themes (I can see from the screenshot). Perhaps the components to be updated have dependencies on the components you edited while themeing. That's why you can not update.
IMO, wait for the 4.0.4 update and go for it directly using PCC. You will anyways loose root after that.

I'm not kidding. Why would I?
Some users have reported this(atleast fellow Wt19i users). And i have experienced this too.
Process A: (tried and tested a lot of times)
Root>install CWM>update via OTA>download update>installation fails
Process B:
Root>update via OTA>download update>installation successful>install CWM
Try the exact process A yourself. If it works for you then good.
But process B always worked for me/some and never did process A.

(Q) X10 Unlocking Bootloader (one click button)

Hi. I just wanted to ask a few questions. Is there an easy way to unlock BL? Like one click button to unlock? Or another way besides using the flashtool? I'm using rooted x10i 2.3.3. I rooted my x10i using DooMLoRD’s Easy Rooting Toolkit. Do unlock BL also have that kind of toolkit? Your respond is much appreciated :laugh:
Hey, fon an easy way if u r using 2.3.* rom, just with latest version of flashtool

It will only appear if your phone is on stock rom/kernel of 2.1 or 2.3.3. So first go to official stock rom and it will apear.
so i have first to unlock bl and then to root and install xrecovery?

remember unlocking bootloader is only optional. Stock based custom roms and kernels work with locked bootloader.
If you want to unlock bootloader, you will find a good guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Also no need to install xrecovery if you unlock bootloader. Just flash any custom kernel for unlocked bootloader
thanks again and sorry that im talkin weird, the thing is i already have a (great) stock based rom. But it is gingerbread and in future i need a ics and i CANT get one with locked bootloader
also i know that i dont need xrecovery, just wrote to ensure

[ICS][ST25i]Upgrading to the latest firmware 6.1.1.b.1.10 from Sony [How To]

Hi all,
I have found a way to allow the PC companion look up for the Android 4.0.4 upgrade .
1. Downgrade your firmware to ST25_6.0.B.1.564 . File available from this link.
2. Flash the file using flash tool. Then reboot the phone.
3. Allow the phone to settle down
4. connect the phone to PC companion. It will show you an upgrade is available.
5. Continue with your upgrade

If it provides a bloatware free rom, it's not that useless as one might think
bloatware free? It only depends on si number that u have when updating and all Sony`s ICS builds have apps that many people don`t actualy need.. So this is useless thread...
you are actually correct, as I installed ICS this way and it has lots of crapps... :\
Agree with Pipi. Anyway there is still possibility to upgrade ICS directly via SUS
Although it comes with bloatware, it is not needed root to uninstall these apps, you'll get a clean rom easy.
Yes yes, in apps you can see appr. 5 apps whose can be uninstalled manually. Everything else is integrated into ICS : Facebook-related apps and Google-related apps.And few others. But for uninstalling these integrated FB and Google apps you need root. I uninstalled almost everything :cyclops:

Disagree. You will not lose warranty. Just relock BL if problems occur. I modded my sola to ****, it got bricked, relocked the bootloader, so sony fixed it for free.
