4.0.2.A.0.42 Update?

I got a message on my xperia play r800i today saying
4.0.2.A.0.42
New system update available
Is this icecream sandwich?
This was my previous post I used to get help with rooting it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18259565#post18259565
My current Build Number says
4.0.1.A.0.283
I assume if I try to update OTA it will brick my phone?
Please help me update my phone.

No that is not ice cream sandwich its still 2.3.4 the .283 build is for the nordic countries

Have you unlocked your bootloader? If you have I wouldn't do it just use flashtool and you'll be fine then

My phone is working fine at the moment and it would be a shame to update and get reduced functionality.

Well IMO the 2.3.3 version was the best because I could play psxperia games but can't in the new version and the xloud was actually loud, but the 2.3.4 update gives you 720p recording, swipe keyboard. I chose the latter and have battery drain now so I'd stick with 2.3.3
To remove the update notification you can freeze the update centre system app in titanium backup

No.. it wont brick your phone. Its the latest 2.3.4 update from Sony, and if you update, you will only lose root

I'm already on 2.3.4 and I want to keep root. Is there any way to remove the update notification?

Sent from my R800i using XDA

I don't think you can download the playstation apps with custom software. I think you need stock 2.3.4. Can anyone verify?

CM7 does not use any of the Sony software that is necessary to the PlayStation store. You must be on a rom that is SE based. CM7 will not work with the touchpads either

Might explain it lol
I'm pretty certain that it was still there after I flashed CM7 though :S
I can still access the Crash Bandicoot game and play it though....
Guess I'll just use fpse instead
Thanks for the help anyway guys

Is xperia s n sl same?

hello ,
I Wanted to know if ROMs of xperia S would work on My xperia SL AS well ? I was looking forward to flash my xperia SL with mokee ROM or MIUI but was unable to find A special customized ROM for xperia SL n i read sumwer that Xperia S and SL has the same one. I would like to know if its really true and if not which ROMs are available for my phone. ?*
thank you , please suggest me a way.

According to GSM Arena, Xperia S and SL seems to be the same. They got the same chipset, same GPU and pretty much the same hardware. Only a few minor things seems to differ.
But I find nothing about Xperia N (Misspelling? Typo?)
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_sl-4894.php
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_s-4369.php
But I cannot promise it would work. On a logical level, these devices can differ. Even to a grade where a kernel might not be able to fully initiate. (With a kernel panic as a result)
Addresses, busses, partitioning scheme , flash ICs, and other stuff can differ. It could be a completely different board, even if the same chipset, GPU and other hardware is the same.
The only real way to be sure would be to compare these two devices side by side on the inside.
Is it worth the hassle?
One could try to flash a S ROM on the SL device, or the other way around, but make sure you can recover from a paniced kernel first.
One way to recover from a such state would be opening the device, and hardwire JTAG connections, if there are any.
I don't have too much experience recovering from seemingly bricked devices. different devices behave differently. Some have a simple preboot mode which one can use the USB connection to transfer firmwares over. Even when a kernel is malfunctioning completely. Others just become hard bricked, requiring using JTAG connections or similar hard wiring to recover.

Ok then cn u suggest a good ROM fr xperia SL alone? I mean if u cn tell it would b helpful. I tried to find one but couldn't. If not then ill hv to try doing what u said.

You went too complicated Mate. Xperia S and Xperia SL are exacty same, bar some software changes. No need to perform jtag and all to restore, You just need to flash back the stock firmware.

Yes I'm absoulutely sure. I own a Xperia SL and have been used all of the Xperia S ROM's on it. Mokee is good, just use a stable build, not a nightly/release one. You can Google for it. But for installing a Mokee ROM, You need to unlock Your bootloader since You require a custom kernel.

Sorry I m kinda new to routing tell me about custom kernel ?? I have already rooted my device by using flashtool.

First copy the ROM.zip and gapps for that ROM to phone.
Then on PC, extract the boot.img from ROM.zip.
Connect Your phone to PC powered on. Using fastboot, flash the boot.img to Your phone with following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
You will find fastboot.exe in "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib"or where ever You installed the flashtool.
Then Your phone will have a twrp installed. Just boot into twrp, and flash the ROM!
Don't forget to wipe 'data','cache','dalvik cache', 'system' before You flash the ROM.
Then after flashing ROM, just wipe 'cache' and 'dalvik cache' and flash the gapps.
Important: This will delete all Your apps. But Your videos, images, music will be safe as it is stored in 'sdcard'.
DON'T WIPE 'sdcard' AT ALL.

1.7 is not minimum, it is the maximum frequency Our processor can handle. And taking it to 1.9 would kill the battery and phone or render it highly unstable. You won't feel a lag at 1.5 ghz at all, trust Me. Been using at 1.5ghz, the phone doesn't feel slow at all and definitley faster than stock ROM's..
