if i upgrade my phone to ics n if internet connection breaks or something happens during the process, will my phone get damaged permanently? is it better if i give it to sony service center itself for upgrading? and what is flashing? is it the same as rooting?

if your internet connection stops working or there's a power outage, your phone will get a exclamation mark, to fix it you could try to use SUS or PCC if that doesn't work you could send it to get it repair with sony

You can't root 2.3.4 build number .62 unless you unlock your bootloader I don't recommend this if you don't know what you are doing, you could permanently damaged your phone.

flashing it's quite simple, if your internet stops mid update or power outage mid update and neither PCC nor SUS work and you don't want to send it to Sony and be w/o a phone for 4 to 6 weeks you could flash your phone and repair it.
