I have Arc LT15a from Rogers Canada (fw 3.0.1.A.0.145) and want to upgrade to the newest fw 4.0.A.2.368- however, it is available only for LT15i.
If I simply flash the firmware, will my phone work?
(I know the difference between LT15a and i is in frequencies, but they might be entirely hw based- the fw maybe doesn't even "know" what frequencies it is using)
Thanks!
It works fine I just put the new one using the xda flasher tool works great slot faster you have to manually add the apn but I love it so far. You can find the rogers apn info but if you need it I will post it

it works..
Build 4.0 on my Rogers arc.
You can flash any v2.x firmware onto any phone. The firmwares contain both (software) radios for i and a.
However, flashing an "i" firmware onto an "a" phone will NOT give you "i" frequency 3G support and vice versa ("a" firmware on an "i" phone will NOT give you "a" frequency 3G support).
The HARDWARE radios are fixed.
It also doesn't unlock your phone (buy an unlock code) nor does it re-lock a SIM/network unlocked phone (unlocking in once and permanent).
LT15a update 4.0.A.2.368 ad hoc?
Hello everyone.
Does the 4.0.A.2.368 FW comes with Ad Hoc support? or is it just a urban legend?
I am really trying to get ad hoc support for my Xperia Arc. I have already checked around and didn't find any "success" story..
I tried myself with 4 different wpa_supplicants from around the forums.. for android 2.3.3 (my current version)... I was hoping they will work.. but nothing... most of them don't work at all (either the Wi Fi doesn't scan or the phone crashes completely )
I also read a post saying that CM7.1.0 - FXP045 has ad hoc support can anyone confirm this? what about the other functions? given the comments I read on its thread it seems to be rather bugsome...
I also found out this thread for X10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253087
I will either try that X10 solution to see if it works for ARC ... or go for the update to 4.0.A.2.368 if it has Ad Hoc support already..
I have a Xperia Arc (LT15a) Rogers Branded - rooted - 2.3.3 - 3.0.1.A.0.145
Any help would be great!.. Thanks a lot.

I found a Nordic 2.3.2 with good baseband at wontanserver and flashed it, did root with Gingerbreak but now I cant do OTA (no network or something like that).
I didn't root mine, but I updated my Neo through Wotanserver too and it worked flawlessly!

I live in australia the phone is not locked to any carrier i bought it from the usa becuase it had the umts 850 frequencie for the telstra carrier here. My reasons for unlocking are to get rid of all the sony things and some preinstalled apps and have access to other things.

I just buy the international version of ion lte/4g but forger to check is that compatible to Virgin mobile( Australia ) is there any solution for me to run the Virgin sim on the device??? By the way there is a update version 6.0.F.0.111(19.4mb) what is the different if I update it? can it be soft brick as the forum used to be
Don't know about virgin.
111 fw is ginger bread, you're more than safe to update. After you do update you'll likely get another update for 29 (ICS).

I know here in the states Virgin runs on Sprints CDMA towers so it would not work here. Did not know they had a sim card in Ausi land. Virgin is not one to let you bring a device to their service as they want you to buy one of the ones they offer.
thanks for you post all. So I use my phone to update graduate(slowly/ step by step) or just use PC companion to up to the lastest 6.1.E.2.29???
By the way I know how to active the sim from Virgin mobile hahaha. No one know before for sure. If anyone using the same device I will happy to show them :fingers-crossed:
Regarding 32.4.A.1.54
1 is there a UK customized version available ?
2 if i use one for a certain network would it lock my phone to that network as its currently sim free , or would it just limit me to that network in till i change the ROM ?
3 would a customized version for a different country be better ?
thanks for any reply's

hi elf cheers for the reply , my issue i dont wanna use the Vodafone one since my phone is unlocked.. O_O im assuming it just has vodafone bloatware... but i dont want to do it in case it wont accept my sim then, since its not a Vodafone one. and have to revert back to a older version.

use the MENA Arabic version. I found it much better in terms of bloatwareZ
and its in English btw, its just designed for MiddleEast
however i am not sure what bands it won't support for Europe.
however there is also CENTRAL EUROPE version which i havent tried yet
You can choose to exclude parts before the flash.
I exclude all .ta files
Flashing a rom shouldn't lock your phone. But flashing a rom from a different region or CDA, xould cause wifi / radio conflicts.

if your bootloader is still LOCKED then kindly first downgrade to Android6.01 and EXTRACT TA.IMG using DIRTYCOW SCRIPT available on XDA
no yasu my boot loader is not locked im refering to the networks on xperifirm via the downloads... please read what im asking based on . E.g my phone is unlocked NETWORK WISE... the rom is normally use is Generic UK but its not on the latest update... but there is a Vodafone ( network provider ) in the Uk which has this rom up to date... e.g no different network bands.. but i'm assuming vodafone bloatware... also im asking based on it being a vodafone rom would it limit other network sims from working.
cheers
cheers patrick

Good day dear.
thank you for explaining again. yes I got confused with the term UNLOCKED with bootloader only.
1. since your device is not SIMLOCKED you can flash any other region as long as you stay with-in your variant. the VODAFONE may have presintalled bloatware in this case try flashing central europe? (if its latest).
2. apart from anything else, consider downgrading to android6 or 5.1.1 for once, in order to EXTRACT TA.IMG
