[Q] Arc S back to 2.3.4 - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello , I am in 4.0.4 Lt18i . I want to back to version 2.3.4 . How can I revert if my phone is not rooted or unlock bootloader?

You can use flash tools found in the stickies you will need to use an older version as v8.xxxxx does not support gb.
Look in general at the stickies there are stock roms there follow guides to install

[Q][Update] Some Basic-newbie Questions

Hi everyone, i just bought a Xperia Arc and its currently running Android 2.3.2
My questions are:
1 - Which is the latest version update for Xperia Arc ?
2 - I tried to look for an update using the "Sony Ericson PC Companion" but it says that there is no avaible update. Why is it happening?
3 - The fact that my carrier is "VIVO" (From Brasil) means i can´t update my Phone?
4 - Is there any "Safe" (I know every way may brick your phone,i´ve flashed tons of custom roms on galaxy phones) way to update it to the latest version (or at least to 2.3.3 where i´ve seen some cool features) without breaking my 3G connection with my carrier ?
5 - I Know ICS is going to be released for our phones,but,will the update be Global or Carrier-by-Carrier like ?
Thanks in advance for any help/answers.
I will stay tuned here !
Flash with flash tool.
Debrand it with generic 2.3.4

Can i flash a "Global" Rom that works in every country,with every carrier ?
That would solve my issue,if theres any 2.3.4 (Which i found to be the latest version) rom (STOCK ROM,not CUSTOM) that i can flash safely.
Waiting for answers.
Where are you developers ?
Read the stickys.
Search for flashtool and read how to use it.
Then search for 2.3.4 generic world and flash it with tool above.

Is it already rooted?
Safe ?
Does 3G Works with worldwide carriers ?
No it's not rooted (well you can flash pre-rooted one)
Yes it is safe.
Yes 3g works.

Thanks,again.
Last one,do you mind linking me a "how to" guide so i can follow it?
I´ve found this on on Youtube,but im not sure if its the same step-by-step: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmmThXTWu74
Also,Flashing this global rom,will prevent some apps from SE like TrackID to work or whatever ?
I´ve read it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
Look in general and devs section, there are tutorials.
Im on phone so i cant copy/paste link to it.
Someone will give you link,or ask flo95 for it.

[Q] Root LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.62 ?

Hi guys, i have flashed LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.62 to my Arc S, it works fine but i Wanted to clear the bloatware so I need root for that.
I couldn't find any direct method (forund the one to downgrade o .42 then to root, but it's too much hassle), can it be done?
Also if easier and anyone knows which ROM i can flash with any Stock 2.3.4 without bloatware + CWM etc... i just don't like custom roms, as it
turns default works just fine for me.
So:
1. How to root stock LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.62
2. Link to pre rooted 2.3.4 (LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.62) stock kernel + cwm - bloatware
You can not root. 62 it is no hassle to use flashtools to flash The.42/.56 root then update ota ( only if bootloader Is locked otherwise you will brick your phone)

Flash Doomlord kernel v22 (with corresponding Wi-Fi modules) and voila - you got root access!
