So today I saw that 2.3.4 was available via OTA,I download,install it and it fails on the third step...I've deleted bbc iplayer,news&weather and both unlimited apps and I had a backup of every one exept the unlimited apps so I download them from the market,convert them to system apps,but my phone still wont update.
Does anyone have a list of apps that are mandatory for update in 4.0.A UK generic...maybe I deleted more but cant remember.
Or maybe a solution that doesn't involve reflashing and loosing all of my data?
Thanks

The ones on the market arnt the same as the ones we get.

Why don't you flash the latest uk firmware but de-select "Wipe User Data" then use zergrush method from DoomLord to give yourself root (That's if you haven't unlocked the bootloader)
Doesn't that make your phone force close everything? And the update isnt even that good...

I don't have the .apk's I'm using CM7 sorry But there are a few ways round it....
Use flashtool to flash an older FW, then OTA. Or use flashtool to flash the 2.3.4 rom directly
Ok so I have 3 solutions:
1. I flash 2.3.3 and keep user data, nothing should force close since all data is in the same version.
2. I flash 2.3.4 but I don't know if my phone would force close all the time
3. Someone from the forums gives me those apks and I install them...
I prefer option 3 but i don't know anyone who has 2.3.3 root and TB

Hey guys,
I've been trying to update my phone OTA but it keeps saying "Could not update".
The phone downloaded the update, turned off the phone and started updating just to reboot and tell me that it couldn't update.
Do any of you have an idea why this is happening?
Phone details:
Rooted Arc 2.3.3;
3.0.1.A.0.145;
UK Generic (I don't live in the UK though).
I'd appreciate any help, dying to try the new update
Thanks in advance!
Maybe you deleted or disabled some system apps?

I haven't deleted anything other than bloatware off my Arc.
The apps I've deleted were mentioned in the "List of system apps" thread as "Safe to remove".
Other than that.. I've installed Supercharger...
make sure that no manager apps is running, if you still cant find any updates go to manage apps in settings - applications and force stop or clear data and you should get newest updates. Sometimes the downloading bar isnt changing for a few minutes because the server cant get an instant connection.

If you have modded contents, OTA will fail. This applies to removal of any "system" applications. ("system"=that can't be uninstalled via normal method. "root" is required to uninstall such applications).
Hope this helps.

Thanks, it updated properly now!
I've UnSupercharged the device and put all of the system apps back into place.
Can't wait to play around with it .
Hello there!
I am using .145 and when I click Update now, it keeps saying that I am using the latest software.

You must wait for your firmware region to be relesead OTA or flash another to your phone. See: General section of the Arc forum, the sticky thread on top -Index of Neo and Arc firmware.
Ps. Most new firmware has been released via PCC, try it!
Hi,
so I had (and probably still have) problem with market (process com.android.vending). I decided to wipe all data (reset all stuff) from settings.
Now phone stops while loading (SE logo), it seems to me that it is working, but launcher is gone (I used go launcher). I thought - if I wipe and reset all data, original launcher will take go launcher`s place, but it appears to me, that I am left with no launcher... :/
So I tried to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847970 use this method. When I had same issue with launchers, it helped, but now it is not able to find phone (probably due to reset settings? ).
What would be my next step?
R800i / rooted using DooMLoRD stuff
Reflashing the firmware would be the best solution I can think of, or you might just need to clear the dalvik cache and let it rebuild
Ok, mobile flashed.
How can I upgrade to latest version of android ? I found 2.3.2 only on XDA.

They will show up in a few minutes / hours after restore

It would appear as though this android commander app has broken the market links. Best course of action would be to use titanium backup and redo the procedure. If you don't want to root either devices though, try redownloading from the store, and pray it doesn't wipe the user data.
thank you guys
I dont want to root coz of the warranty void issue..
I had a wildfire be4 this(Still have it).. nd even though i know what all can i do after rooting i jus cant take the risk of loosing my warranty on such an expensive phone..
anywais getting back to the topic
-I dont have any major user data yet..i mean i jus bought the phone yesterday.. i have hardly had my hands on it
-The APK's that im installing are the backup(Also via android commander) of my apps (Just apps,no data) of my wildfire
-Is there any good app/software which will backup jus the apk's on the phone along with the market links so that i can install it via sd card??.. coz downloading each and evey app again could be a pain in the a*s??
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-My phone's software version is 1.26.720.2... nd im get the option of a system update.. should i take it??..coz i remember that when we got the 2.2 update for the wildfire.... mostly no body downloaded it as it updated the bootloader.. nd there was no way to crack the bootloader.. so again, should i take this update?? its of 33mb
If you go to google play store using your pc and log into your account you can then send apps direct to your phone via wifi.
Check the my apps tag to see what you have previously downloaded.
Can someone guide me on the FOTA updates??

We don't have S-Off, so we don't know which bootloader (if any) will get S-Off.
As you know, if you upgrade bootloader, you cannot downgrade it without S-Off.
Your choice.
Do the system update and once you login with ur PC and go to play store. try installing one app from there and then all apps will be automatically start showing on your device app store

Thank U for the info..
Okay, that's a noob story that I suppose you have heard before. It goes like that:
Just rooted my Play using SuperOneClick and, using Titanium Backup, uninstalled all the bloatware.
Problem is, I also uninstalled the International Keyboard - by mistake, I was just looking for the Chinese one. That means, my phone is now left keyboardless!
How can I restore it without having to flash a stock ROM or anything of the kind?
Oh, plus another little problem: whenever I tap the About phone menu, I get a message stating "The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
And always get sent back to the main screen.
Any ideas?
You can get another keyboard from the Play store on your computer. It'll automatically install to your device.

That's what I'll do.
Tried a factory reset. Solved the com.android.settings problem but didn't restore the keyboard.
I know there is plenty of free Android keyboards available but, is there a way to find and install the default one?
I think someone will have to upload theirs, but my Play isn't on stock anymore. Or you could restore using SEUS or PC Companion, but then you'll probably lose root. This won't work if you unlocked the bootloader, it will brick it if you try.
So the way arround is probably to do it all over again. Since u already n still hav root (i guess) just start with install a recovery via cwm auto-installer (find it in play store), make a backup via recovery, flash a new .ftf via flashtool, re-root the phone n restore only data via recovery. That should get u started again.
can any one give me the link to download each and every SYSTEM APP/U] of the xperia play? i lost many of the system apps and its causing me troubles.
The list of apps are as follows,
CALCULATOR
EMAIL
WALKMAN

and also any important apps are welcome.

I think you would be better off flashing a stock.ftf via flashtool. Which will restore your phone to stock firmware. Faster and better IMHO. Make sure you flash the correct firmware for your device.
R800x or R800i

Infact you wouldnt even need to flash, I'm pretty sure Factory Reset would do it for you..

You are wrong, factory reset won't give you back your deleted system apps. Factory reset will just clear data and cache only.
