New Arc S firmware [4.1.L.0.8]?

Apparently, a new firmware was just certified in PTCRB.
Does anyone have any info on this?

Wow, more updates!
Does anyone know what is the update for?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

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

Where did you hear that ? Awesome.

i have this firmware really simple to root just flash .431 kernal then root then update kernal

the 431 kernal i thought this was just another regional/ branded 4.0.4 fw

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.

We can use the NEO L one.

But then you'll need an unlocked bootloader to flash the Neo L kernel, right?

hi
Ars-s & Arc Users USE This method : Install MIUI On Locked BootLoader ( LT18i ; LT18a ; LT15i ; LT15a )
beacuse MIUI use Official Kernel.

Installing MIUI or ICS Rom on stock kernel without the camera inberted and pad bugs would be awesome!

newbie

Sorry but am looking for advise.
I have used sony erricsons site to unlocked the bootloader and it flashed the rom.
i have flashed dooms kernel and using AOKP.

that flash took you completly back to stock so no more root access and all the bloatware has been added...is the flash to android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4????

ohhhh jheez, so i have to root it again, what about my bootloader? and it says 2.3.4, why's that?

Well I ask this because 2.3.4 is unrootable unless you flash a pre-rooted kernel so if your BL is unlocked then flash a pre-rooted kernel and install CWM recovery then install your prefered ICS ROM or I would suggest JB then flash their kernel and you should be good

Sig is his signature.... Look under his comment it says ROM slimbeam v3 and the kernel he is using

Ooh, sorry my bad, thanks
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

I dont understand why u say "i'm using STOCK ICS"... what is STOCK ICS? Since Xperia Play never had an OFFICIAL STOCK ICS.
Anyway if u are having problem, probably u have Markphyton rom.
Advice: if u want a perfect ICS rom stable with 100% touchpad, use CM9.1

This is simple, just flash This 2.3.4 enhanced version, turn on USB debugging mode, then use SuperOneClick or flashtool to root it.

This will not help with your headphone jack issue, you will have to buy this adaptor: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-EC250-Headphones-Adaptor-1249-0456/dp/B009HW15UG/
