[Q] Phone Software Version / File System Version - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
When I enter the service menu, and check software info, it says for Phone Software Version: 1246-7916_4.1.B.0.431
For the file system version it says: World-i_4.1.B.0.587
Do I have to update the phone software version now, because the phone is running fine? Or is it oke this way?
Thanks a lot
Bram

What was my recovery before CWM?

Hi Guys,
This is my first post and i want a liitle help.
As stated in this thread to receive OTA update with relocking bootloader. It's stated that
3- you will need your original recovery that you changed to CWM ..
example: if you had 1.28.415.9 and you installed CWM then you need recovery.img for 1.28.415.9 .

Thanks in advance, :good:
Are you still using the original ROM (software) or have you flashed a different ROM? If still on the original, look in the settings/about phone/software version.

N7100DDDLK6 (BASEBAND VERSION)
3.0.31-1071214 (Kernel version)
Well Baseband version isn't the firmware one but I think you could first try to update your system via OTA or Odin.

is it a hardware fault or a software fault ??
Software I think

finaly got .17 firmware to flash is this normal to happen ?

When I check software version in rom it says it's software version ending in .15 but when I check in download mode it says .17 is this meant to be how it should be or is something wrong with the flash ?

that's the Rom software version displayed in the phone, not your firmware version

Sony Emma "No available services matched to the connected device"

Hello
So I have unlocked the boot loader installed SU and TWRP all running fine.
Now I want to update my phones firmware which I know that there is a newer version to the one I have and pre root I had it, But when I connect my phone and boot up Emma I get the message "No available services matched to the connected device"
Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks
As what i know once you unlocked bootload you can do official update but you can flash newest rom anytime

You can manually create the relevant profile with the loader.sin from the Z5P firmware.
Just make sure that the folder you create is read-only in order to not be deleted by flashtool

Thats awesome thanks very much
Would I still have to uncheck the simlock file for this phone and also will I have to wipe my data from my phone or can that be unchecked too ?

If anyone tried using CF-root successfully, leave a confirmation below.
I'm interested too if anyone flashes please report back asap. Doesn't seem like much seeing as the rom is still 5.0 not 5.1 or 6 so more than likely its just 300 mb of "security updates".
Just an update: the new PL1 firmware can be rooted by CF-auto-root.
One more update: the android security patch level is still 2016-09-01, the same as the SPH3 firmware. Don't know why they say this is an "android security update"in the description.
I thought the android security patch level should be 2016-12-01 since it was built on 2016-12-12.
i couldnt ge the cf-root to work on mine. it says theres a dev error. is there a newer version to use?

I did that 3times and it keeps giving me the same error message. I think I'm using the wrong tar file. I'm using the one for n900TTMBFOB6. Is there a different one for N900TTMBFPL1?

Should be the same.
I downloaded here:https://download.chainfire.eu/354/CF-Root
Unzip the file and Odin flash the tar.md5 file only, not the zip file.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IT WORKED PERFECTLY. It must have been the file i downloaded from before.
Baseband not updaing
Hi guys..
I have upgraded to the N900TUVSFPL1 update.. but I noticed the baseband still says N900TUVSFPH3 and the Android Security Patch Level says 2016-09-01... is this normal?
the Build number does say N900TUVSFPL1.
Did anyone try flashing roms through TWRP? if so what do you guys use?

The baseband should be PL1 but the android security patch level should still be 2016-09-01.

I think that you have to power off the phone and boot into download mode from the power off state. Otherwise, the bootloader and baseband won't update.

In order to install the update, I had to get into download mode.

Right.. but it makes a difference if you reboot into download mode (while the phone's still on) or have the phone turned off and then boot directly into download mode (volume-down + home + power).

Yes.. I had to do that in order to re-root using CF-Root and also to flash the recovery.
Is this ROM based on Android 5.1.1 like others are speculating? If this is just 5.0, I'm saying "Screw Touchwiz", and staying on my AOSP Nougat...

Is it possible to take only the most update modem (CP) from this?
I am looking to flash the latest modem for Tmo US Note 3.
Maybe flashing via Odin in the CP button?

FlashFIre. Many older posts talk MOP, TWRP, etc. At least with this hardware and firmware, FlashFire is all I use. (Much gratitude to Chainfire.)

Code:
# Install Heimdall and print pit
sudo apt install heimdall
heimdall detect
heimdall print-pit --no-reboot > pit.txt
# Extract binaries from firmware package
head -z -n -1 N900TUVSFPL1_N900TTMBFPL1_N900TUVSFPL1_HOME.tar.md5 > N900TUVSFPL1_N900TTMBFPL1_N900TUVSFPL1_HOME.tar
tar -xvf N900TUVSFPL1_N900TTMBFPL1_N900TUVSFPL1_HOME.tar
Lastly, review the pit file and pick the partitions/files you want to flash. Use the tool you're most comfortable with to do the job.
Many posts refer to the necessity of bootloaders and modems being compatible. So I have not (and would not) flash just the modem. Er, that is unless someone else already did it and reported success.
(PS. Wish *I* could walk out my door and do the Haiku Stairs, a bucket list item.)
