If you're on 2.3.4 DO NOT downgrade to 2.3.2

Which is the latest baseband for the Xperia Arc? Yesterday my phone upgraded to 4.0.2.A.0.42 (android version 2.3.4) with kernel version [email protected] #1, and my baseband is 203028D-56. Is this the baseband i should use? If not which is it?
it newest one.
If you dont use any custom rom, or anything else. Then you have newest one possible.

What do youn mean by "any custom rom, or anything else"? I installed this baseband (56) for use with the [email protected], but after a reboot problem occured, i had to relock the bootloader and download the latest firmware from SEUS. Now i am with a locked bootloader and an unrooted xperia arc @ 2.3.4 android
Thank you btw for the reply!!
that mean you have newest one
Any reason why need to upgrade baseband?
Baseband update him self paralel with FW.
every FW comes with new baseband. (almost)
Baseband .56
Fw .42

hope this one will be as smooth as GB.
hmmm looking forward to see what new features fixes does it have. hopefully it is not a regional framework only.
looks like it is a carrier/region specific update..btw one update for arc s is on its way..
It,s the same 4.0.4 but for a carrier in the UK
I'm not have update ?
I believe it's the 4.0.4 ICS UK update for 3.
At least that's what was reported by one of our other members.
Sorry if that dashed your hopes. LOL!
How will this work as I am on 3 and my Phone has officially updated to 4.0.4

The .431 kernel is not root-able. I think you meant the the 4.0.3 kernel

My phone is branded to `3` and to concur with xtacy above , it recently updated to this firmware .
Hmm. Does this only occur on unrooted? I am on 3 and it just says I have the latest software if I check in PC Companion?
did u flash an ftf to update ur phone or get it through update official ?

I used PC Companion to flash then ran Doomlord root bat file. I take it I won't get any official update unless I remove root (probably have to do repair to do that though right?).
I have a notification saying FW 4.1.B.0.431 Is now available. Anyone know what it is? Don't want to update if it's just a few fixes for 4.0.3.

I think after. 52 Sony made the firmware unrootable so you have to downgrade

Well if your bootloader is unlocked then just flash a custom kernel and be done with it they are all auto-root! That's assuming your bootloader is unlocked,, if not then .58 firmware is your best bet

Let me explain my question. When I got my Xperia Arc S, it was already loaded with .62 firmware. I later upgraded it to ICS, but downgraded since ICS makes phone a second class device. Since I dont have experiences with other older gingerbread rom (version .42 and older) and since i found in some threads, that battery life was better in older versions of gingerbread I have this question for you.
So, which one of the gingerbread versions for Xperia Arc S was the best in terms of battery life, speed, maybe UI design. Which one would you recommend (for those, who had a phone since starting version) and to which one it is still safe to downgrade. Or is this simply the latest GB version 4.0.2.A.0.62?
Thanks for all the answers.
Most of the custom ones work okay, try xgamer, it's one of the most popular. Based on my experience it's quite good, stable, fast and batterylife is great

Rooted, de-bloated and battery life-tweaked .69 build is the answer to your questions.

I was only asking about stock roms made by Sony Ericsson - their official firmwares

Question for Destroyedbeauty:
Is there any noticable difference between .62 or .69 firmware? And how to root .69 firmware, since I can't do an OTA to this version, .62 is the latest for me?

.69 is not needed, it is only for Germany, includes only small name change (Gmail to Google Mail) due to legal issues, nothing else.
So .62 is the latest and suits just perfect for me.
Stood on .62, moved some apps from /data/app to /system/app, still have about 130 mb free on internal.Found out Arc S does have some unused space in system partition. I enjoy my fast phone. Only thing bothering is proximity sensor crack, but I'll fix that since phone is still under warranty. Thanks for all the opinions!
