You will need to flash DooMKerneL to get root on this FW.

(Solved) Swedish generic 181 or 3 branded 181 wanted.

Please help Me find Swedish generic 181 ftf or a branded 3 rom 181/184 from Sweden and is also 2.3.2 version. (Because Generic UK/World 2.3.2 used for Root and update via OTA to 2.3.3 is with very bad reception, when using 3 as telephony supplier in my country).
You are kind forum members amd maybe you can help?

I found a Nordic 2.3.2 with good baseband at wontanserver and flashed it, did root with Gingerbreak but now I cant do OTA (no network or something like that).
I didn't root mine, but I updated my Neo through Wotanserver too and it worked flawlessly!

Aha! It works now with this guide by PhyzX: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126409
Now I have Nordic .145 with Root, hurray!

What is the latest firmware??

I've just bought myself an Xperia Play from O2 and have started gathering the information to root it and flash generic firmware to it as it currently has O2 branded firmware on it (not sure of the version as it's been put away for Christmas now ).
Am curious / confused as to what the latest generic firmware is and where it originates from e.g. UK, Nordic etc.
I've read there is a 4.0.A.2.368 generic UK firmware update which adds xLoud, landscape homescreen amongst other things and theres also the 4.0.2.A.58 version here on XDA. Which is the latest and better??
Thanks in advance for any help
I vote the .58 one

If you go to the other forums under Xperia Arc General and go to the sticky posts at the top. The one you are looking for is "ARC/ARC S (ROOT.FTF&.IMG)4.1.A.0.562 ICS+Flashtool+Ringtones+Other" and in this posts you will see all the different images available. Download the LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.62 Generic Global World ftf file. There is nothing on the UK version that is required for to have that one and that one only. All other UK users, including me use the global generic one.
What I'm trying to say is that you gain nothing by using a UK version. There is no extra features on it that isn't covered by the global one.

It sounds to me, like you are talking about LT15i 4.1.B.0.431 Generic World FR, which was the first offical ICS for Arc that appeared about a fortnight ago.
The OP is talking about LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.62, which is Gingerbread.
OP, if you really want LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.62 Generic World UK: http://uploaded.to/file/26z1n4ys
It is in this thread from the "General" section along with all the other official Sony FTFs:

R800i 4.0.2.A.0.42 Trade Generic Germany, i need pls!!!

hi all
You see the titlle, i need the *.ftf R800i 4.0.2.A.0.42 Trade Generic Germany
Thanks
Another question?
Wich one of *.ftf is the latest ROM for Xperia Play? the 0.69 or 4.0.1.A.0.283
Tx again folks
hmm, also looking for this one to root and OTA update to .69.
.69 is the newest one.
In another thread (german thread) someone flashed with Wontanserver.
With the client, you choose .42 and select german generic trade. Then you root
and choose OTA update to get to .69 with root.
Only disadvantage with Wotanserver is that you´ll have to pay for flashing through PAYPAL.
tx uncut
omg, i dont have credits fot that,
Does anyone have the *.ftf?
bump.
searching for 4.0.2.A.0.42 generic trader germany (2.3.4) as well
