im sorry, but how do i flash this? I`ve just bought my first sony today..

I`ve installed championswimmer`s unsecure kernel.. so i couldnt update this with pc companion obviously..
though i cant get busybox or su installed due to some adb issues..

download flashtool, look in post seven in this thread and follow instructions, download this ftf, put ftf in flashtool firmware folder, use flashtool to flash it,try re install drivers, you can find those in flashtool driver folder, try to flash unsecure kernel and than su and busybox following instructions in kernel thread

But i already flashed unsecured kernel do I have to do it again after flashing this update?
I had some problems installing fastboot drivers, bit found a workaround here on xda. No matter what I do I can't get dba shell to work.really want to be fully rooted..

Thanks for your reply.

yes usually you must flash kernel again, kernel in ftf is not unsecured, it must be replaced, unsecured=root

Holy sh.. So with each update we have to flash kernel and phone is fully reset yet again?!

Sent from my LT25i using xda premium
no, for now you can relock your bootloader and upgrade with pc companion, your data will be untouched, later there will be custom roms, when you have root you can always backup your data and apps with titanium and than restore, for now there is no recovery for v but it will be, in recovery you can make nandroid backup of whole system, what you need now is root and than titanium backup

but if i relock bootloader (how do i do that btw?) and upgrade using pc companion. then the kernel would be replaced and i would have to flash the unsecure kernel to obtain root? hence the phone will be fully reset again.

you got it wrong, flashing kernel does not reset you phone, normal update through pc companion does not it either,for relock: relock ftf attached, you need:

1 change extension from zip to ftf
2 earlier in this thread #5 is attached loader.sin for V, you need to change extension from zip to sin
3 replace loader.sin inside relock.ftf with the one for V
4 flash with flashtool

Thank Bin4ry for relock ftf
