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?

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

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.

You can't flash any kernel using ota update lol...
OTA update mean = On The Air update
Means if Sony release an update for your phone,and your phone search and the update can be downloaded through your phone,your phone will notify you that an update on the air is available for your phone...

The reason why Sony is able to update your phone's firmware is because it has been officially signed by Sony. The bootloader is configured to flash ROMs which have been digitally signed by Sony only.
Custom ROMs do not have an official valid signature and therefore, require an unlocked bootloader in order to be flashed.
All the best.

[Q] some questions about roms

Hi there, I have some questions about roms of sony xperia s.
where can I get the newest offical firmware like this: LT26i(4.0.4)_6.1.A.2.55_Generic_SG(1257-6921).rar (.elf file)
can I use Flashtool to flash these offical firmware ?
what dose ICS17.elf mean? I have flashed this file by using fastboot, and got my phone rooted and got a CMW recovery.
many thanks

1. Get it from Here
2. Yes, sure.
3. ICS17 is the modified stock kernel added more features than stock one

Hold on.......
If you've flashed the ics17 kernel then you've unlocked the bootloader yes?
Then scrap off any ics rom and flash Jellybean

I need official Sony 's rom.

I see. Then flashing the 55 ftf would be best. How come you must have Sony only?

[Q] Root Official Jelly Bean Rom without Unlocking.

Hey guys
Is it possible to root the .200 ROM (Official JB) without Unlocking the Bootloader?
I mean like eRoot etc.
I have no Recovery to flash something and I don't want to unlock it.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

If you want not to Unlock Bootloader, till now, you have to flashback to ICS and install CWM,
Otherwise you have to wait till a new way be discovered!

[Q] Update from .200 to .96

hello everybody.. i have a noob question for my phone guys.. sorry if im too newbie to ask this but I want to update my device (Currently in .200 FW) to .96 via Sony PC Companion..
my device is
1) definitely ROOTED!
2) deodexed
3) installed some mods already
4) bootloader LOCKED!
5) CWM installed
and here my question goes.
1) will i lose any data if I update my FW via SPCC?
2) will i get bootlooped if I update it?
3) am i gonna update it or it has the same bugs as .200 FW?
i want to update my device without being clear all the application i have.. Advance Thanks.

Hi There,
regarding your question i can only reply you to point 3, since i made a fresh update because i was coming from a CWM based.
I'm using that firmware since couple of week and it looks much more better than .2XX, it is also smooth and up to now no bugs at all.
I am not using HDMI so i cannot tell you if it is bugged or not.
Hope it helps.
Cheers!

Ota update is online, i updated it today.
