Perhaps a silly question but do you need a SE sync account for automatic updates to be received in the notification bar? My phone has never shown these messages and i have updated periodly through SEUS.
Another thing is it true rooted phones won't receive automatic updates?
Any light shed on this subject would be ace, thanks I only ask cos I don't won't to miss the glorious day when 2.1 is released.

Anyone got any ideas on this?

I didn't create a SE-login and I got a few updates in the past. Up to r2ba026.
As far as for the rooting, if you root using the x10 root .apk, I 'm sure everything will work fine
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Thanks for your responce. I wasn't sure that's because I thought you may need the data sync to any FW updates can be sent.
I'm using the universal androot for rooting and finding that pretty good. It allows me to unroot if needs be, does the x10 root .apk you mentioned do this?
Does it make a differnce to any features or usabilty depending on different methods of rooting?
Sorry for so many questions, I am curious about all this

I used the .apk android rood method only to remove moxier and quadrapop, afterwards I unrooted... so I don't know
Of caurse the upgrade will again remove root, but let's hope the apk still works in 2.1

What is SE-Sync?
When updates are available OTA for unrooted phones, the carrier will send out a message as far as I know. I've been notified as soon as the update was available.
Then again, my carrier sent out letters in the mail to make sure people updated their firmware a few weeks ago. (got an update that doubled internet download speed with a new APN, and support for Japanese carrier mail)

As far as I know the root is not working on 2.1

If apk rooting doesn't work in 2.1 I suppose it will eventually work one day... Untill then I'll leave the unused apps alone.
Se-sync is the contact/agenda/favorites sync's app provided by SonyEricsson... I don't use it, I prefer google sync.

Yea no problem I did it a while ago, flash the UK generic then root with gingerbreak then when that's done do the ota update and you'll beer on 2.3.3 rooted!

You made 2 topics, wait for a response and I recommend ask questions in xplay general forums

Do I need to unlock my bootloader to use autoroot?
How I wish this update would be done via OTA..
main reason for me is I don't want to lose root and to I don't want to flash also because restoring 14gb+ of data will be a lot of work for me.. I'm thinking not to use titanium backup instead I will just copy all my sd card files to my PC as a backup file.. But I fear that if i return all my files back to sd card after update some apps/games might not work properly.
autoroot would be a great idea though, but I don't trust the guy who said it.. I think felix is just boosting his post count by lurking around this forum, giving incomplete details, always saying "there is already thread about that", and other non sense post just to boost his post count.. No pun intended felix..
I think many/most people with a locked bootloader are waiting for the ota (myself included). The ota for the arc xloud update came a while after it arrived on Pc Companion/SEUS so i guess it just a waiting game now for when it arrives.

Im not sure myself since i also have the play but i think it was a few weeks. I just noticed a similar discussion on the arc forum (about if they will loose root) and a few weeks later people were getting the update over ota. But like the last update not every country has had the ota update yet only some.
OTA update 4.0.A.2.368 available + remain rooted (arc)
got the update via OTA today! (Philippines)
and i managed to preserve root!
Yey!
I got the ota update last night. UK generic version

I think you need FasTboot to flash it?
Thats how i did it anyway,you dont need unlocked B00TLoader to use FlashTooL so maybe try that?It may not work though and pretty risky too
I read somewhere you don't need unlocked bootloader to use flashtool but if you try to flash custom kernel via flashtool you need an unlocked bootloader....
I tried ota (uk generic) today but after download I get 'could not install software' error.
I really need it, I hate the firmware that I flashed and I forgot to back it up ! Can someone upload it or give me a link or something so i can get the original/official firmware, please ?

Has anyone got a mirror for 4.0.2.A.62?
I've searched the site but the only one that I can find is this Rapid**** one which won't download for me. Just stalls after a random amount of MB. Not sure why. Have tried it off three different net connections.
There will be thanks if you can mirror
