Indeed .62 is the latest built which include alot of improvements specially on batter issue.

If you don't want custom rom and kernel and is contented with the stock ROM and kernel then you don't need to unlock your bootloader.

to root your device, you need to flash stock 4.0.2.A.0.42 kernel only, you can do this with locked bootloader and root using zergrush method.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] slimfady:
Do I lose root if I restore the .62 kernel after rooting?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KristianKenneth:
I'm afraid yes but i never tried it though cause my bootloader is unlocked.

Re: Battery issue?

Thanks for these instructions! I accidentally 'upgraded' to .62 firmware (from .42) when restoring my phone using the SEUS utility. I would have been lost without this guide.

I need to read the SE blogpost again, but ... has anyone been having terrible battery drain on either the .62, or .42 FW? I 'restored' the phone in hopes that it would resolve my low battery life - to no avail. If i disconnect my phone form 100% charge, and leave it untouched and on standby on my nightstand (which is about 5 meters from my AT&T microcell - in USA) - it will be dead within 14 hours. I have no third party processes running, and the 'Battery Info' says that it has a 'Time Without Signal' of anywhere between 40%-80%.

I know it is going into deep sleep (verified by cpuspy) and the battery is in good condition (with the radio off it lost 1% over about 10 hours of idle).

I have tried changing to various preferred network types: GSM only, WCDMA preferred, GSM/CDMA auto... et c. I'm at a bit of a loss here, as I've never missed a call, email or text - and it appears to connect to the tower (my microcell, or other towers outside the home) just fine - but it still seems to be searching for a signal all the time.

Can anyone offer any advice? Could this be a hardware/radio defect?

Is it possible to use this root method if my Ray came with .62 rom from the factory? I have the bootloader unlocked with the test point method.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] papasieg:
Not working on firmware 62
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] desirez_pete:
So this guide is assuming you are still running the .42 kernel but want the .62 rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
this is for those who:

1. have updated to .62 firmware

2. has unlocked bootloader

I heard on neo that if we update through OTA (not PC Companion method) the root app from previous firmware will be retained. Maybe the same can be happened in Ray.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] desirez_pete:
So the rooting section of the guide is for .62 rom AND kernel? I have unlocked bootloader with the test point method and .62 firmware from the factory and I want to know if it is safe to use this guide to get root because I want to skip the downgrade process.

I ask this because in the root section it says this:

Alternately, you can just install a custom kernel and root using zergrush method but if you want to try the .62 kernel from this stock rom then do this.

If I read that right its saying how to get root on .62 kernel if you wanted to try it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Not rooting the kernel, but rooting Rom with temporary kernel for recovery. So beware though. Don't flash the temporary kernel as permanent.

Yeah you come to the right place buddy. ;-)

Got a Ray today (pink, for my wife :))

I went ahead and applied the .62 OTA update about 5 minutes after the first boot (seemed like the right thing to do) sooo...

Two questions;

1. I see I need to unlock the boot loader, and that there's several methods. What's the best way? I want to be able to re-lock it for warranty purposes.

2. How do I un-root once I have rooted? Again, for warranty purposes.

My paranoia is because my wife somehow killed her LG P500 (hardware fault) but I can't get it fixed under warranty because it's rooted. I need to unroot. I just want to make sure that on this device I can un-root in case she screws thia one up too.

Thanks for all assistance..

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Isn't it better to leave it as it is? I mean it's your wife's phone ;) back to topic:

1. Test point method

2. Just flash with seus again even with test method. You'll be fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jeremysherriff:
Yep - that means I need to take backups using CWM and Titanium Backup

all

the time and revert them when she fcuks it up lol

Thanks dude, I appreciate it. As I've been reading more about the test point method I see it is in fact temporary, which is cool.

Not sure what you mean by "flash with seus again"? Tell you what - I'll work my way through the tutorial and see how I go.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Should have known that myself lol.

Yep, when u flash with SE update service, you will lose your root program, but with bootloader is knowingly 'locked' by the updater, you'll still able to update officially.

Hello all,

My Xperia Ray stuck in bootloop. The only access available is through fastboot, ADB can't detect the phone as well, SUES found the modified gene & can't restore via service update. This bootloop happened because of I modify framework-res.apk :0)

Ideally it will be good if I could go into the filesystem again & just replace the original apk.. Thinking to download the stock ROM .62 & follow the front page instruction. Or any better way to recover the phone?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kizsleg:
Have you tried using flashtool? It's a good practice to create backup using cwm, whenever you play with system files.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] den1662:
That's the silly part, still noob at that time, later I found out why we need CWM.

I just reflash with given stock ROM (Russian?) & start all over again.

And now CWM is my best friend :)

Hi All,

Newbie here. I've Ray (ST18i) with Android 2.3.4, build 4.0.2.A.0.62 .

1. What's the meaning of 'stock rom'? From the usage, it seems it means official/original.

2. I just want a root access on my phone. I don't want to install any custom ROM. I've gone through this thread several times but everytime I became more confused. Please suggest.

3. Is Unlocking bootloader required just for root access? If yes, Which method is the easiest? I've also noticed about the official Sony method.

Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KristianKenneth:
Stock rom means original, untouched one from Sony.

Unlock bootloader using S1 method. You will encounter future problems if you unlock it using SE method.

You can root without unlocking bootloader, just flash older kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Emreguler:
easy method

Thanks for the post but i know another very easy rooting method for stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ray.

Just go to wotanserver.com and flash 4.0.2.A.0.42 (it's very easy, wotanclient handle everything for you, just a few click)

Use the zergRush method for rooting (or there is much option for .42)

Then connect to internet with your ray, and update your phone via update center that in your phone menu.

Voila, your phone updated and root privileges stay.

You don't need to unlock your bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lapimate:
I note that the 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM seems no longer to be available from http://www.multiupload.com/FRJ1OLASSU

Rather ST18i_4.0.2.A.0.62.RU_1252-3744.rar is available from http://narod.ru/disk/37465618001/ST18i_4.0.2.A.0.62.RU_1252-3744.rar.html This contains ST18i_4.0.2.A.0.62.RU_1252-3744.ftf.

1. I assume the step 4 of creating FTF can be skipped?

2. Is it a "repacked" ROM (and "temporary" kernel?) with certain items deleted or modified from stock ROM? Similar perhaps to "Stock-based: kernel/rom Repack by 4pda.ru team" described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424121

3. Is it specifically intended for Russian language/environment?

4. What are the consequences of flashing this ST18i_4.0.2.A.0.62.RU_1252-3744 instead of the stock ROM?

No need to flash .62 if you already have it

It should work fine on ST18a, too. You can safely start from booting into recovery mode. Then root it. No need to flash the ROM.

It was supersmooth on my Ray with stock .62 and unlocked bootloader - same as yours.

I used steps outline in opening post for my ST18a. Everything seems fine, although when I check on about phone it does now say ST18i for model.

What I am curious about and what I don't know is that while I seem to have adequate reception, I don't know if the new ROM changed the baseband for the radio. And if did, did it make some of the frequencies unavailable?

Anybody know?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KristianKenneth:
The latest basedband is .72. The rom here is gingerbread anyway so if you are referring to the latest rom then upgrade to ICS. 4.0.4 is smoother now.

They say baseband is regional but from my experience all baseband are the same. Of course the newer. The better
