Hi all,

Bro..most of the people here own international models of Xperia Arc.May be that's the reason you didn't get a positive response.
Try Japanese forums..they might help

Would you happen to have the original rom to flash for the SO-01C or IS11s?
stock ISC Docomo

Your Japanese S0-01C
http://www.nttdocomo.com/pr/2011/001515.html
(Android 2.3.2; ja-jp; SonyEricssonSO-01C Build/3.0.D.2.79)
If you flash to non-japan firmware, you may not get your japanese specifc apps and features support. The Japan firmware is different from the worldwide firmware like HK, Europe, Americas and etc.

You should be fine flashing a different ROM on the SO-01C there would be afew changes in the information but technically it shouldn't matter. As the other user mentioned, each firmware has its region and market apps which are pre-installed on the firmware and when you flash they are on your phone but if you don't care for those, you can simply do it by using FLashTool.
Good Luck
thanks for your clearly reply, i'm not a Japanese, i'm just like the pink so i don't need any jp apps
can you tell me which 2.3.3 FW now is the best for arc (battery is the most i care)

Were you able to flash another rom for so-0c1? Please reply because Im having trouble here since I tried to update it to a custom rom.
Hello,
Has anyone tried to flash 2.3.2 global, root it, and is OTA available for 2.3.4?
Anyone taught of that?
I haven't tried yet cause is there any app to backup phone settings and phone memory? from SE?
I CONFIRM THIS WORKS + ROOT REMAIN
Regards
AFAIK, no OTA available yet for 2.3.4...
+ OTA for the update before this was only for HK and UK ( and Germany if i'm not mistaken ), no world generic or other region... so we might guess that the OTA 2.3.4 will take too much time to go for the firmware version of choice...
some guys already converted to HK version as it's the fastest one to update...
I had the Germany version and till yesterday evening there was no OTA update...
but now the phone is not working after upgrading to 2.3.4 and than downgrading back to 2.3.2 global and rooting it
I have seen a lot of people including myself had their phone ****ed up by downgrading 2.3.4 to 2.3.2 and root. I suggest you to wait till there is a solution for this problem.

I am tired of flashing my phone back and forth and getting really frustrated. So I went to SE, told them the phone was dead and play dumb. They gave me back the phone with a new motherboard. Now I am using 2.3.3 4.0.A.2.368 HK ROM
From 2.3.4 to 2.3.2/2.3.3, try this:
There is no problem with UK.184 -> Root and OTA to .368 (no need remove battery even).
Also no problem if I want 2.3.4 again, then I flash Nordic_Telia branded.238
-Tried two times already, cause I couldn't decied which one I wanted.
Hope it helps
2.3.4 OTA is now available for generic world

See in 2.3.4 thread. I think i saw it there. There was somene who said its available by ota.
And .ftf is here in xda, search for it...

Yes, it is available now OTA with Root (happy), but I want to argue about people calling it Generic_World firmware all the time here on xda, it is Nordic!
There is no World region firmware as far as I know?
well I flashed back to 2.3.2, rooted, and now I want to OTA, and can't connect to download ! says : impossible to download now, try later.
I don't know whats the problem now.
also the ota update is only 44mb.

Ps. Please stop calling it Generic_World though!

guys, someone help me please! SE Arc S ICS 4.0.4 - Kernel Stock - baseband 77
I remember when I bought my ARC S, the version was Lt18A (mobile purchased in the Store Magazine Luiza, certified by Anatel, Brazil), working on 3G 850mhz/2100mhz! after updating the rom he went on to appear Lt18I, and for all I know, only works on 3G 900mhz/2100mhz. I think that's the problem, my phone stopped recognizing the 3G on 850MHz, which is available by Vivo in my area!
any way to change this? baseband, kernel, rom??

baseband, most likely.
or to be sure, flash the entire ROM that dedicated fot LT18A, because LT18i is the international version

you can't know without trying it, try if you fail flash your old firmware again. yet it might be useful if you back it up.

Hello everybody,
I just installed today on my i8160p the maclaw CyanogenMod 11.0. I did not backed up the gingerbread, because the option was not available. As many others report I can not connect to the mobile network and would need the system/lib/tee files to fix the problem.
I was wondering if anybody could send me this files or help me to find a work around.
Thank you very much!

I bought the phone in China on TaoBao (Chinese EBAY) and it was made for Poland. It came with an unlocked 2.3.6 which from the beginning did not see my sim card. I flashed all the way up to cm11 and all worked great except the modem which never saw my sim card. I went back to stock European 2.3.6 two times and built it back up including trying to flash a modem or two. Still no sim.
I then found the official Chinese (has english too) 4.1.2 and flashed that with ODIN. All is working great but still no network. THEREFORE I am guessing that when this thing was built for Poland it had a special modem (hardware) that only works there?
Now I am downloading all the 4.1.2 firmwares built for Poland in the hope that one of them can drive whatever modem is in this thing.
Heading to bed now (UTC +8) and will report back in the morning.

I think you are right. I tried all of the above and nothing worked. It is sent back. What is the best baseband to ask for? I think that XX is well supported.
Best BaseBand Version
Can you tell me what baseband version I should try to buy?
I want to install KitKat on the ACE 2 and I know that the Hong Kong version will not work.
