[Q] xperia arc S update !!! - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey !!
pliiz you advice me to update my phone to this version 4.0.2 A 0.62 ??

Charge your battery and then just follow the instructions, if there are even instuctions
Tap the update, tap download, when the download is finished, tap install.

tkx ! I know instruction
but i'm asking if i would have a problems after updating !! because I heard that this version of android poses problem after updating for the xperia phone for exemple the LED not working when you have a call or a message !!
Sorry for my bad english

4.0.2.A.0.62 is completely bugfree, it is the newest Gingerbread update, not ICS.

Yes, it is possible, however highly not needed. 4.0.2.A.0.62 is the best Gingerbread release for now.

however, you wont be able to root .62

If he makes OTA update, while having root, then root stays aswell. Every other way will remove root.

[Q] Flash 2.3.2 Global>Root>OTA update?

Hello,
Has anyone tried to flash 2.3.2 global, root it, and is OTA available for 2.3.4?
Anyone taught of that?
I haven't tried yet cause is there any app to backup phone settings and phone memory? from SE?
I CONFIRM THIS WORKS + ROOT REMAIN
Regards
AFAIK, no OTA available yet for 2.3.4...
+ OTA for the update before this was only for HK and UK ( and Germany if i'm not mistaken ), no world generic or other region... so we might guess that the OTA 2.3.4 will take too much time to go for the firmware version of choice...
some guys already converted to HK version as it's the fastest one to update...
I had the Germany version and till yesterday evening there was no OTA update...
but now the phone is not working after upgrading to 2.3.4 and than downgrading back to 2.3.2 global and rooting it
I have seen a lot of people including myself had their phone ****ed up by downgrading 2.3.4 to 2.3.2 and root. I suggest you to wait till there is a solution for this problem.

I am tired of flashing my phone back and forth and getting really frustrated. So I went to SE, told them the phone was dead and play dumb. They gave me back the phone with a new motherboard. Now I am using 2.3.3 4.0.A.2.368 HK ROM
From 2.3.4 to 2.3.2/2.3.3, try this:
There is no problem with UK.184 -> Root and OTA to .368 (no need remove battery even).
Also no problem if I want 2.3.4 again, then I flash Nordic_Telia branded.238
-Tried two times already, cause I couldn't decied which one I wanted.
Hope it helps
2.3.4 OTA is now available for generic world

See in 2.3.4 thread. I think i saw it there. There was somene who said its available by ota.
And .ftf is here in xda, search for it...
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Yes, it is available now OTA with Root (happy), but I want to argue about people calling it Generic_World firmware all the time here on xda, it is Nordic!
There is no World region firmware as far as I know?
well I flashed back to 2.3.2, rooted, and now I want to OTA, and can't connect to download ! says : impossible to download now, try later.
I don't know whats the problem now.
also the ota update is only 44mb.

Yes, same here, too many people trying and server is getting sad.
Keep pressing the update button a few times, it worked for me.
But now happy rooted 2.3.4 with locked bootloader.
Ps. Please stop calling it Generic_World though!

[Q] Sony Xperia S update 6.1.A.2.55 issue

hi all,
after updating my Xperia S to 6.1.A.2.55, I have a problem when I'm trying to call ! my screen freeze when I'm dialing, same issue for my friend with another Xperia S (both are new, and free bought directly in Sony store), when I comeback to the version 6.1.A.2.50 or 6.1.A.2.45 the problem disappears!! but after 1 or 2 days, I got the notification of update in my Xperia, and the problem comeback even if I don't update it!
so I've two questions:
if someone get the same problem, what's the solution?
if not, how can I block the update in my smartphone, knowing that I'm connected 24H on Wi-Fi.
great thanks in advance.
I don't have this problem on .55, anyway just root your phone and delete updatecentre.apk and NewSoftwareChecker.apk if you don't want the notifications. Just try flashing this ftf - http://ni.0a0.in/files/3432_kznsa/LT26i_6.1.A.2.55_SG Generic (1257-6921).zip
I have tested it and it 100% works fine. If your problem is not yet solved, just update it with PC Companion/SEUS and exchange it for a new piece with Sony.
great thanks abcdjdj; I was wondering to get a solution without rooting my device, but if it's the only option, I'll do it.
soo.

Yes you can update it...... But you will lose root.
I need to clear some thing for you, rooting does not give you access to download apps free from Google Play. So you should remember that also. I am saying this because you said so-

Oh and please don't post links to cracked apps or wares sites. Mods are very strict about this. If you are unhappy with stock ICS, just go to the development section and check out some custom ROMs. And please be patient - JB is coming in May.

For that, you have to flash a pre rooted rom using flash tool.... If you are planning on upgrading to ICS firmware, no need of flashing pre - rooted rom.. Every ICS firmware on Xperia S can be rooted easily (1 minute work).. So update you phone using PC companion or flashtool and then root it...

Root is completely different from jailbreak...
There is no jailbreak for Android...
In Android JB means 'Jelly Bean' aka android 4.1

Then update superuser or install SuperSu from play store
