I downloaded 42 fw from 1 of the threads in arc's forum.
I flash my fw via flashtool. Done. I have the 42fw.
I connect my phone to pc.
Suddenly, my pcc said there's an 42fw update via pcc.
What's wrong with my phone?
I already have the 42 fw but the pcc still ask me to update to 42fw.
Is my ftf fake? Or?
Anyone have an idea?

it is possible in this version of build? thank you.

While flashing the firmware, uncheck the "wipe data" option and then you are good to go.
But if you want to wipe out the data, then there is no need to change anything.
PS: SEARCH before you ask.

Did you removed some system app's?
no , just used link2sd app to move all app files
i think its may be the problem
Solution
If you have the .42 and you want to get the .62 root you have to do this:
- Flash with flashtools the .42 original room
- With flashtools root your phone.
- Start updating via OTA to .62
If you have 0.42 and you root this with superoneclick or other that not be Flashtools you wouldn't get your .62 root OTA
aaah thanks , i just want to update to .62 so i be ready to receive ICS when available Nothing else :S
but i think i will be wait when availble official to Arc (not Arc S) i will flash it via flash tool
I recomend to you installing ICS version of ARC S and then flashing the Doomlord kernel for setting the correct CPU clock. (only for unlocked bootloaders).
But... well ok, if you want to wait to the official version you can see very good changes from .42 to .62, better battery life, more stability at the system running, etc...
the feedback of arc user says that is was some problem with touch due to different kernel even with arconiume ICS rom
i think i will try unroot we zurg brush (winch i root first) and root again with flash tool )
and try to upgrade from ota
oka

Does enyone have idea what causing this problem
Thanks in advance
If you have unlocked your bootloader, re-lock it
take the SIM card out of your phone and reboot phone
My bootloader is unlocked, but won't let me install update. How do I re-lock bootloader??
Download Link
Flash this ftf file via flashtool from the download line --> www(dot)mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd (not allow to post outside links, sorry!)
And your bootloader is locked again!
No need to relock bootloader to get the update. Download complete update 4.1.B.0.587 from here, put it in "C:\Flashtool\firmwares" (if Flashtool is installed in "C:\Flashtool") and flash it using Flashtool. I did it without problems. Use the "flashmode" in Flashtool, I selected "Exclude FOTA" option, so only baseband, system and kernel were flashed..
Help?
i relocked my bootloader to update to 4.0.3(latest). But now i want to unlock it again to flash a custom kernel and rom. is it possible?
Current Phone Status:
Xperia S
Unlocked Bootloader
CWM
FXP CM10
I am very much keen to flash the Official upcoming 4.1.2 for Sony Xperia S devices.
But I'm really confused on how to get it done on my unlocked bootloader, once the new firmware is released.
Please take out time to give suggestions.
Appreciated.

I dont think the NEW JB would be available to download anytime soon.. So just wanted to Connect the Phone to PCC on my Xperia and Flash it.
Already Flashed ICS STOCK via FLASHTOOL on Phone but since its not MY COUNTRY specific
The build gives a few errors.
Just want it like the brand new as if its out of box with the New JB.
Please Reply.

You have three options -
1) Wait until someone releases the FTF file of stock JB and flash it with Flashtool
2) Relock your bootloader and try to do a software repair/update with Sony PC Companion/SUS.
3) Use Sony's official Flashtool for unlocked bootloader to restore your device to ICS/update it to official JB.
In my opinion, don't relock your bootloader but just wait until someone gets the update and makes the FTF file. Meanwhile, you can use Sony's official Flashtool and revert back to stock ics.

Which new JB? the ftf you download and flash is the same that you get from PCC or SUS, just using a different way.
