Sony Xperia Arco (Docomo so-02c) - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does the docomo differ from the xperia arc? I have this and tried flashing lt15a ICS and it seems to hang, this does have a unlocked bootloader, does anyone have any advice?

bump, please help!

Hmmmm...I guess it is different, I'm a foreigner in Japan with an Arc, always try and avoid Japan specific phones. But you could always try other roms if your bootloader is unlocked. Good luck!

I dont know much about it....but you can try flashing a new or the same firmware! Its just a thought! If you dont have backup of your data then do not proceed with this! Wait for some expert to help you! But if you have backed up all your data then there is nothing wrong in flashing!
If i helped you, hit the thanks button!

You can use flastools to flash a new firmware! You should go to the s 2 section or google about flashing new firmware!

I bought my mobile from amazon.co.uk:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004UK6H6W/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
I tried flashing a new firmware but it didnt do any thing! The lock was still there! So only thing left is we gotta unlock the bootloader...dont worrl we will relock it again! But you will loose track id (can get it back from market/ play store) and the thumbs up stuff for Facebook in music player! I will try to get them back...all of it! So you ready to unlock the boot loader...its the only way from where i see it!

Unlocking the bootloader will do a factory reset (for security purpose ). So this should solve the problem. But if it doesn't...i got other stuff too! Dont worry!

I have unlocked my bootloader from the Arc whit the testpoint method, using the s1tool, so I don't losing the DRM.
For who want to do this, its only for the Arc, not the Arc S.

But it does unlock a few Xperias.

You can use omnius for the arc s but it will cost some money.

See the first link I gave you.
First link applies only to Arc, not recommended for Arc S.
I am new Arc S owner aswell now, also interested in unlocking via test point method, however I see information that LT18 is not supported by this method. Can someone tell me the real truth?

Bootloader unlock is independent of any firmware on the phone. It is also SEPARATE from SIM/network unlock. Your phone does NOT have to be rooted. SIM unlocking your phone does NOT unlock your bootloader. Flashing your phone does NOT SIM unlock or unlock your bootloader. (However, when you unlock your bootloader with the paid method, the SIM/network unlock is also removed.) SIM/network unlocking is ONCE and PERMANENT and not affected by any firmware.
This works for ANY 2011 Xperia: arc/s, PLAY, neo, neo V, pro, mini, mini pro, ray, active, Live with Walkman.

If S1Tool is from SETool I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Acro S, S and SL pretty much share the same stock rom. However from what I believe the rom was edited a little bit to make it compatible with the devices it works on. I would be working on Acro S rom on SL after i get a hold of an SL. But it depends. I got no budget now. I would make Customizable roms if I can get a hold of all 3 Devices FTF files from the first stock rom till the most recent roms. I only have the Acro S first till the latest stock rom. Only thing I need now is people helping me to get back ups of STOCK ROMS from SL. Xperia S i prety much have an Idea of where to get it from.
Very good bro
Take your time do some quality work
So, what is the final verdict? Can I take the CM10 for Xperia S and just flash it? Would it work? I am planning on finding out tomorrow anyways

Did it work???
Is it better to stick with a stock Xperia SL or to root, unlock and install a custom kernel and rom on it? Just wanting to know because I may soon want to do it or maybe not, depending on how it is from your experience.
i have already rooted it but don't know what to do next?? Are there any custom roms available for SL?
