Hello!
I have a rooted Xperia Arc S, and I am interested in changing my Rom. At the moment I have MooDed ICS 90.4, but I was wondering if there are any better Roms I should use...
I would not use a Rom which requires an unlocked bootloader as I do not want to unlock mine as I heard that you can no longer use Sony PC Companion to unbrick your phone (which I have needed 4 times!)
Thanks if you can help!

Without cyanogenmod, original Sony Ericsson.
Its possible?
Thanks.
No. .62 firmware (2.3.4) was probably the last gingerbread before ICS.
Than another newby question, what is the difference of 2.3.5 and 2.3.7? :/
And, where i get original updated Xperia Arc ROM? And how to flash, i saw a thread that says to flash all old files o.o
But... ;/
Just use SEUS or PC Companion and update

Be patient! The mods will come eventually. The new firmware has only been out for a few days.

Use the TestPoint method then instead of the Official Method, you'll find all you need at the first link in my sig.
The official method is more reliable and i see better for newbies... I highly recommend you continue with the SONY method... Actually when i was it his lvl, test point confused me...

The TestPoint method is better as you retain DRM, and if a video tutorial is too hard to follow, then yes, perhaps the Official no more reliable or better method is the way to go.

The same reason People start new threads about an existing topic that's been answered a million times already maybe. And what you call rude others called direct. Why you get short answers! (The Long Answer)
Kernel KTG 1.52
You can try with Kernel KTG 1.52 good luck!
