What specific error?
can you update ota if you're rooted? i thought i read somewhere that you can't? or is that only if you are unlocked bl?
For convenience/less errors it is highly recommended to have a fresh firmware. No root, locked bootloader. For you to update via OTA, Sony Update Service, or PC Companion.
When the BlueBox appear after download and restart the phone The phone restart again and appears a Box saying there was a problem, try again

Have you tried using PC companion or SUS?
just to confirm that you CAN update a rooted LT26i.
just use PCC or SUS
its all good.
p.s for some reason the size of the OTA update download is much smaller that the update download done by PCC/SUS (almost 400MB) maybe this why many have complained it doesn't work.
For me it makes no difference OTA or via PC, both are failing. I have an unlocked bootloader with that Swiss ICS rom which was published around 20th of June, a few days after the ICS release. ( LT26_6.1.A.0.452_Generic_CH_1257-3740_.ftf )
Could that be a reason for the update to fail?

You can't update with unlocked boot loader on those programs. Use flash tool.

You need to re-lock the bootloader if you want to update through pcc.

Hi,
I need some help. I just upgraded my firmware to 6.0.a.3.75 using the Update Service and I would like to root my phone.
So I need to follow this tutorial to unlock the bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
Then I use FlashTool with the firmware LT26_6.0.A.3.76_TW or LT26I_6.0.A.3.75_CE1
and then I use fastboot, with the file KA_Xperia_S_prerooted_76TW or KA_Xperia_S_prerooted_75CE from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1685672
That is correct?
How do I know which region of my current firmware?
And what this means: "Also this is ONLY RECOVERY for now! You cannot boot the actual system with it!"
What is the difference between recovery and the actual system?

thanks and Sorry for English

You need to relock the bootloader in order to use the official way to upgrade.

Because you have modified firmware. If you try updating you will end up with an error

The same thing happened to me. Exact same update. Install successful, root stayed. And further, the updatw reinstalled some default apps which I had deleted, like Play Now, AppXtra,etc. (the ones delete-able even without root).

You can't via pcc or sus, you need to use flashtool to flash roms or recovery to install updates and keep root.
