well, that was a lot of things.
I am looking for R800i only this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383030) suggests I should have .42 as I have the same problem.
I will try .42
I can try .62 if you will recommend that.
does not really matter which one you flash if you are trying to restore to default. the .62 is the latest one but .42 is the last official ota update version for r800i. anyway if would prefer the latest here you go. http://www.mediafire.com/?lojlw6bffm7alv1
Thank you very much,
Is Mutliupload down? cannot download this file ----multiupload.com/LQQBRQVJUD
Is the battery life better on the .42 or .62 build for the Xperia Play ?
Does anyone perchance have a backup of .42 UK?
I would be most grateful if someone could share it.

thanks electrash ! so now i've downloaded the generic 0.42 firmware.. but could someone shows 'how to' flash it's baseband only using flashtool?
I think that you can use Flashtool to do that http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/ . My question is, the .42 baseband is truly more battery friendly? How have you come to this conclusion?
im using .42 for long time, and is very good for me.
I've a question: if I use Flashtool and flash just the baseband, will I loose all data etc? Do I have to perform root again?
i think everything remain.
Ok so I got this arc s from Singapore but the 3G's not working it's Lt18i And I guess I need Lt18a for it to work but I plan to root it with easy Zergrush right after so I don't want to update it to the latest firm ware otherwise Zergrush might not work am I right ? plus I need the flash tool as I no longer have it could any one send me the links to what I need ?
on .62 firmware it won't work.
And there is the flashtool thread.

Yeah. Same here.
LT15i .58 is present. But original stock LT18i .58 seems absent.

Just use Wotan, it's free.
You could also downgrade to .42 firmware and root.

Hi there. I am new to Arc S. Why not go back to the latest available FW for the Arc S. Or are there no bugfixes applied with .58?
Cheers

When your BL is locked, you could also use PCC, but idk what is the latest available firmware in your country (.42, .58 or .62).
If it's not .62, you could also use PCC to flash the firmware and then root using zergRush.
And btw, I don't see much difference between .42, .58 or .62 (correct if there's something important).

Found some references to wotan.
Do you mean www.wotanserver.com?
That site does not exist (anymore). I tried to load it with firefox chrome and ie.

Just tried it too with Opera and couldn't connect.

I am on .62 which is my latest (to the best of my knowledge)
I just want to root. Nothing else. I most definately don't want to unlock the BL.
I read that the zergRush exploit was patched in .62. So i too was looking for the previous version of my FW (how/where can i check what my last FW should have been?)
So in short: i am looking for the latest original SE FW with the exploit present. And i should be flashable through flashtools as PCC is no use to me since it will deploy .62 FW.
Is wotan the place to be?
Cheers

I'd just say, flash .42 firmware and root, but that's my opinion.
I've never used Wotan, so I can't tell.

The site is definitely not offline, if you try to ping it, you get a request.
Maybe they just have a overcapacity or something else.
Keep looking a eye on it.

So back to basic question but adjusted to new situation :
Where to download the original international version of .42 FW for the LT18i?
It can be found for the LT15i but i cant seem to find the .42 one for LT18i, at least not here on xda.
Cheers.
Look here or flash SEMC .42 firmware from FXP for CM7 here.

Thanks. Wotanserver is up now. They have specific .42 for my region. Gonna try that first.
Thanks again!
Cheers
Thanks all! I downgraded to Official .42 (Trade code Netherlands) with wotanserver.
Rooting was pretty easy after that
Cheers

If you're updating with SEUS/PCC, you have to root again.
I recently upgraded my arc s to ICS beta. Since it has no bluetooth wifi or the android market, i want to downgrade it back to Gingerbread. Can some one please help? ps. stupid me did not make any backup before upgrading..
Thank You.
Have you tried the Official ICS yet? Maybe it will resolve some of the issues you were having.
If you really want to downgrade though, all you have to do is flash the respective ftf file using flashtool. You'll find lots of guides/resources for this in the development section.
I dd not try the official. where can i find it? i installed beta only.
thank you.

if u are trying to say u need the .42 ftf then its in the same link, just scroll down and look for : 4.0.2.A.0.42
Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (2.3.4) (1254-2716)
india generic hardly matters as Central Europe i believe is the same as if u flash this via flash tools. then as the phone will start u will on top get the language "hindi" option aswell or india "english" .. you can root this, then update via wifi to .62 n u will still have root
if u have unlocked ur bootloader make sure u have locked it so u be able to update to .62 via wifi
Hi all,
After searching the forums for a while I've found no solution to my question .. so I hope this thread won't be a duplicate but if it is, please link me to the original one.
My phone: NTT Docomo Xperia Acro (SO-02C) from Japan
Currently rooted using Gingerbread 2.3
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9.perf
[email protected]#1
Build number: 4.0.1.C.1.9
I wanted to apply the official ICS update that was for the Xperia Arc using the manual method by flashing it in CWD but, because the Xperia Arc is the model below mine there's a few functions that's added on so I'm worried about the compatibility with the hardware after I apply it (if I can).
I checked kernel version and build number for the Japanese Arc (screenshot of system info: http://www.chaoticshore.org/blog/image/screenshot.png )
I noticed the kernel and build number is the same but the rest isn't (because this Arc in the picture is Android 2.3.3, but my Acro is 2.3.4) so the baseband version is also different.
If I attempt to apply the update to my Acro, should ICS still be compatible?
What are the chances of it bricking if I try to flash the ICS rom into my phone?
Also, I'm aware I may lose the dedicated built in functions like infrared transmission & oneSeg.
Thanks!
I feel like I should reply, even though I don't really know the answer. But from what I have heard, arc firmware will not work on the arco. If I was you, I would not try it. Hasn't docomo pushed an ICS update yet?
If not, the best advice, never buy a Japan only phone if you want to mod it!

Do you have the FTF for this phone? I tried the upgrade and it didnt work, now stuck at xperia screen even after ftf the original matched docomo ftf.
I managed to upgrade/flash a combined Lt18i and docomo .9 ics to get an upgraded 4.0.3 android posted the instructions i found on some vietrnamese forum
