Better than .42? How long ur battery lasts?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] davidzam:
It depends, if you use data a lot, the battery will last a bit longer than .42 but remember, as is stated by Sony Ericsson site depending of the smartphone model. And is important to know that, the apps you use play a great deal regarding battery performance. Is not up to them (SE) to be aware of every single app in the market and the impact those apps will have... And ad to that, the stability off your carrier networks, your battery will last longer here the networks work steady and constantly, I'm from Venezuela, unfortunately, wireless networks in here are poor, so my phone will consume (and it does) a lot of energy "searching" the networks and maintainig then steady. And the Rom is a bit faster to. Off course, I prefer a rooted phone, but 42 was having issues, I sacrificed root, for stability, right now. I need a phone without bugs, and this rom is good. Besides, this are NEW phones, development is a bit green for now, I'm an advanced user, but not a developer, soon our friends will develop something great, people more daring than me, and with more knowledge, i'll wait as I always do, :)

So is on you, you have to choose, if you use a bunch of apps and don't want to loose any data, don't want any factory app on your phone using space that you could use with other apps that you really like or are usefull to you, and can live with the little problems the 42 have (battery, some lags) stay as you are, and be patient, our friends in here will figure something out, and users of this forum as myself, will gladly help you if is possible. :p I like the update. SE (now Sony) has improve a lot, improve a great deal if you ask me (remember the lag of updates for Xperias X10 minis?), and soon, ICS :D I hope my answer help you somehow, and if someone else in here, can share their thoughts on this matter... welcome! :)

hi doomlord, so youre saying with your kernel it can root any fw using this easy rooting toolkit too?

my phone is now on .62 unrooted. can i flash your kernel even though my phone is not rooted using the cwm recovery?

can you please point me the link to your kernel that can root any fw and please teach me to enter to cwm recovery and flashing your kernel.

p.s i already have cwm recovery its just that i forgot how to enter it.

please please im waiting for your answers :(:(

its been a week my phone is unrooted and all my apps is gone :(:(

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Izzy Stinson:
oh okay :)

but one question, do unlocking bootloader, flashing your kernel requires/will do factory reset/reset data?

i dont want to do that cos my phone is not rooted and i cant backup any of my apps using titanium backup

edit: i may be stupid but i cant find the thread of your kernel and unlocking bootloader. coud you or somebody else put both links here? :(

i cant find doomlord kernel for xperia mini pro on the android development section
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lord Takyon:
First, read! It is blatantly obvious it won't work on 62fw.

Second, read! Search for flashtool and choose a fw to flash.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Xajel:
I've just got a notification that the .62 OTA is available... I'm using this Root with the older .42 and I'm satisfied with that...

I know that this root won't run on .62, but I think doing the .62 OTA will keep the Root ( Correct me if I'm wrong )...

The things are...

- I've 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42) stock rooted on locked bootloader...

- What does .62 bring over .42 ? does it worth it ?

- If I go to .62, and decided to reset the phone after a while, is it safe to flash .42 flash, then do the Root ( using this patch ) and then OTA update to .62.. any problem with this ( like the 0% battery problem before, thankfully SE repaired the phone on warranty... but I don't want this happen again !! ).

- If I decided not to go for .62 for any reason... how do I get rid of the OTA update notification ?

Does a factory reset keep the root?

(I'm thinking of updating OTA to .62 and I like to start with a clean slate when there is a firmware update)

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Excelsior82:
I have been told the factory reset does not achieve much, thus I'm not sure it would remove root (but it's not confirmed).

If you prefer getting back to a clean state, I think you should think about flashing the phone. It's what I did and I got a clean state (only carrier-specific settings like APN settings and the content of my SD was untouched)

What do you mean by flashing the phone?

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] big_lilo:
+1...... :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Excelsior82:
Without unlocking bootloader, you have to flash a .42 firmware, root it, then upgrade OTA (and only OTA, no SEUS or PC Companion).

Although I shall warn you that downgrading (having .62 firmware and flashing .42 is downgrading) CAN cause big troubles depending the versions, and you shall ask if it is safe to downgrade from .62 to .42 before doing it. I'm not sure it is.

EDIT : I have been confirmed downgrade from .62 to .42 won't damage the battery gauge firmware

I meant flashing the firmware 4.0.A.0.42 on your phone (ie replacing the OS), you should read this thread which explains everything smoothly : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
[Xperia Arc Android Development] svenvaeth:
It's really a pity. I used a rooted LT15i before and got an LT18i now. And SE offered this update to 62...damn :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Excelsior82:
The fact you could root with .42 and previous was because an exploit of a security failure. You should always expect security failures to be corrected ;)

However, just make sure you can downgrade and you'll get root very fast.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] svenvaeth:
I couldn't find any version 42 or 58 :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Excelsior82:
If anything, you can go to WotanServer. They have a good flashing client and can get lots of firmware (the .42 for LT18i is available)

Hi

sorry it's in the arc section, but it's related to ZergRush method, so hopefully someone can help me.

this is probably the answer i need, I have the ray with 62 f/w but I can flash this with flashtool back to 42, when I root and mod the stock rom using ZergRush method , then update OTA to 62, will the root be gone or is it still available, most important all mods done while on 42 f/w, will this be still available after the update, my ray is bootloader locked and I dont want to unlock it, the last time i unlocked it the official way i lost OTA, track id and DRM, now that I have them back, i just dont want to waste time to get them working again.
