METHOD TO ROOT .62 Firmware

Hi Everybody
I saw many posts about don't upgrade to .62 firmware because it's not rootable, but reading and searching in other threads (because I have a little xperience with other Sony and Sony ericsson models), I found this way to upgrade my recently adquired Xperia Play to the .62 firmware and rooted... and I just wanna share the links with you...
YOU NEED:
1. Firmwares (.42 for root and .62 to upgrade) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399
2. Flash tool (Very easy to use and many times, just follow the instructions) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351299
3. Root method (This is the most complete and easy tuttorial to root and upgrade) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514
On that thread they xplain how to upgrade to ICS, but we will use that way to root the .62 Xperia Play firmware.
With this metod, you will have CWM like a gift, to make backups or flash MODs...
SCREENSHOTS BELOW
Thats all I wanna share with you... and of course, thanks to all the developers who made this threads for us.

I think when people say, "its not root able"
They mean that if you haven't rooted before you upgrade then you can't root using .62.
However if you root on a previous version and then upgrade, it'll work.
Always nice to have a guide for new people unaware of I though :thumbup:

When i rooted my play last time i flash 2.3.3 and in settings did an update and i was running rooted on latest software, but if i did it through pc conpanion it wasn't rooted, weird!

[Q] Please help me rooting a branded G900F

Howdy y´all ,
I´ve been trying to figure out for the entire day how to root my G900F with stock FXXU1ANI3 firmware ( Vodafone Germany branded) . Unfortunately the build date is Sep 12 2014, so I can´t just flash the latest german unbranded version with KIES. Everyone is telling me that I should root first and backup EFS partition before using Odin, so I don´t just wanna flash CWM, trigger Knox and flash a rom . And I can´t just follow the towelroot guides because the stock kernel is nowhere on the Internet.
Can someone give me some advice what I can do to gain root access? I just need to change SELinux to permissive and install Appradio Unchained to pair with my head unit.....
Thanks in advance
(holy cow, rooting has become so complicated....I was 14 when i got my first Galaxy in 2010, hence my stupid username here and rooting was so easy back then....)

hi ,
In short ,i have rooted my device N910F , from day one that Lollipop ( German vers DBT ) was released .i used CF auto version, i used on Android v 4.4.4, no problem ,i also flashed custom recovery using old version of CWM ,i used in 4.4.4.
No problems at all .( but if you go this root make sure you have right auto root version etct.)
Above facts stated ,it all depends on you what /how /method you want to root ?
Do you care to trip knox or not etc .??
I do not care ,( since Note 3 days )
good luck

[Q] Help Please , updating SM-N910H to lollipop

Hello Everyone , I Need some help about my galaxy note 4 . im from Iraq and i currently run 4.4.4 unrooted .. I want to root my phone but at the same time i'm dying for my lollipop update to arrive ! .. I have a couple of questions to ask
1 - what happens if I update my phone to another region's update ? but same model number .. as i'm seeing on Sammobile the updates for uzbakistan and ukraine etc are already there and for the same n910h model .. what happens if I used one of those to update my phone ?
2- how can I update to lollipop if I rooted my phone just now ? I read that I can update it via odin or kies once the update is out .. does that have any disadvantages to my phone ? so can I just root my phone , unroot when updates are out and then root again ?
thank you in advance .

As long as same model. Number its fine region has nothing to. Do. With it
If you are rooted you have to flash via odin only

so if i downloaded the Ukraine version on Sammobile and flashed it through odin I don't need to be worried about baseband version ? or CNC or whatever ? and in the future say 5.1 is released for Iraq , can I flash my region's rom back again ? .. If I just rooted now and waited for my region's lollipop to come out .. when I flash it via odin and lose my root .. will i lose my root data also ? like xposed etc ..?? Or I have to just root back again with cf auto root ? thanks in advance

If rooted you have to flash via odin then if you want root again
You cant have ota if rooted
