Hi,

I'm currently running 4.0.A.2.335 on my Mini Pro,

I've been getting the message to update to .58 for a couple months now, but was waiting to update because I wasn't sure if I was still going to be able to root.

So simple question: update before root or after?

Grtz!

Its not important, important not to use internal wi-fi updater when bootloader unlocked. in any case you must get root after every update, because all data will be removed

You cant update your phone to .58 if your phone currently rooted. You need to unroot first then update then reroot back.

So the answer is update first, then root :)

My phone is still stock at the moment, so it's safe to use the sony ericsson updater over wifi?

That's safe.

For my own information: do you have an AZERTY SK17i, and if so, would you please do me a favour and post your /system/build.prop (after rooting of course, can't access it otherwise) here or in my thread?

I'm looking for the 'generic Belgium' CDA code :) Currently running a french one but it came with some very irrelevant apps and I have another issue with it.

Sure, I'll post after I root. (one of these days)

Nothing has been changed yet (phone is not rooted and hasn't been flashed yet). Stock can also mean, 'running SE firmware' as opposed to a custom ROM, regardless how the SE firmware was installed.
