Im on att with 2.3.3, how can I go to 2.3.4 and what are the advantages?
There's a thread in the Development section. Its a bit buried but it's there. Essentially all you need is root, download the generic NA 2.3.4 firmware, and download Flashtool. Its a piece of cake from there.

There is no need to root your phone, SE has official 2.3.4 , you got some 2.3.4 android feature, xLoud, swype keyboard, etc

Does anyone know when 2.3.3 with build number 4.0.a.2.368 root for xperia arc will be relased!?
No, not happening.
For locked bootloaders, the only way to root 2.3.3 is by rooting 2.3.2 and then doing an OTA update to 2.3.3 (The latest .368 firmware isn't yet available OTA).
For unlocked bootloaders, there are various methods mentioned here at XDA to root your device.
Cheers!

Had you have posted your question in the q&a section you would have seen the 2 or 3 threads asking the same thing.
You can find about .368 rooted under arc development thread.

What exactly are you looking for?
If it's 2.3.4, it's not our yet.
If it's 2.3.3, nobody has it available for download
If it's 2.3.2, check the development section in the r800x state of development thread, it's there.
SEUS/Pc Companion are useless to the R800x, verizon is in control of firmware updates (i.e. through mobicare) so all R800x users are out in the cold without a unlocked bootloader.

Hi everyone, i just bought a Xperia Arc and its currently running Android 2.3.2
My questions are:
1 - Which is the latest version update for Xperia Arc ?
2 - I tried to look for an update using the "Sony Ericson PC Companion" but it says that there is no avaible update. Why is it happening?
3 - The fact that my carrier is "VIVO" (From Brasil) means i can´t update my Phone?
4 - Is there any "Safe" (I know every way may brick your phone,i´ve flashed tons of custom roms on galaxy phones) way to update it to the latest version (or at least to 2.3.3 where i´ve seen some cool features) without breaking my 3G connection with my carrier ?
5 - I Know ICS is going to be released for our phones,but,will the update be Global or Carrier-by-Carrier like ?
Thanks in advance for any help/answers.
I will stay tuned here !
Flash with flash tool.
Debrand it with generic 2.3.4

Can i flash a "Global" Rom that works in every country,with every carrier ?
That would solve my issue,if theres any 2.3.4 (Which i found to be the latest version) rom (STOCK ROM,not CUSTOM) that i can flash safely.
Waiting for answers.
Where are you developers ?
Read the stickys.
Search for flashtool and read how to use it.
Then search for 2.3.4 generic world and flash it with tool above.

Is it already rooted?
Safe ?
Does 3G Works with worldwide carriers ?
No it's not rooted (well you can flash pre-rooted one)
Yes it is safe.
Yes 3g works.

Thanks,again.
Last one,do you mind linking me a "how to" guide so i can follow it?
I´ve found this on on Youtube,but im not sure if its the same step-by-step: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmmThXTWu74
Also,Flashing this global rom,will prevent some apps from SE like TrackID to work or whatever ?
I´ve read it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
Look in general and devs section, there are tutorials.
Im on phone so i cant copy/paste link to it.
Someone will give you link,or ask flo95 for it.

Can I inctall ICS on my xperia play with 2.3.2 (rooted locked bootloader)? Some websites say you have to have android 2.3.4 (latest update) in order to do so. Thanks

I wanna say that you would need an ICS kernel , which you would need to unlock your BL for.. and the system on your phone wont matter, since ICS isn't official on our plays your will need to instal a custom Rom which will overwrite everything anyway

But if I am installing an official ics Rom (released by Sony Ericsson) would I have to do that too?

Well I did some reading and I think you will need an unlocked BL and at least be on the .42 firmware, 2.3.4 like you originally posted. I know there are a few ICS roms that work in the developer section. But I think for the official beta release your gonna wanna follow what Sony said.
Edit: looks like you have to fastboot a boot.img and userdata.img and system.img

You'll be able to get ICS without an unlocked bootloader once the official update is released, since the official releases can be made into files for flashtool.
Aside from the fact it'll be done through SEUS.
