How to update fremwork to 4.0.2.A.0.58 without using flashtools?

Hi
My arc s framework is 4.0.2.A.0.42 and I Have wifi dropping problem,I found that
If I update it to last framework my problem will solve,
But when I try to update phone it says you have last update (on 4.0.2.A.0.42)
I found that there is a newer framework (.58) (biased on this thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314
I want to know is there any way to update my phone without using .ftf files?
I remember that for my old X10 there way a way to chang phones region and update phone to newer framework..how I can do it with my ARc s?
thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English

Yes you can trick PC Companion to flash a different firmware by editting the build.prop file in /system. There's a thread explaining how to do that, search for it.
But flashtool is even easier, why would you want another method??
A third possibility would be Wotannserver but I don't have experience with them, I just use flashtool.

[Q] Can anyone post to root 4.0.4 kernel the OneClick way? [Arc S]

Need help regarding my Arc S
i am on locked bootloader 4.0.4 ics. I dont want to unlock bootloader and do any fast boot mode, cwm or to remain in 4.0.3 kernel with skipping 4.0.4 kernel while flashing to 4.0.4 full update, then flashing 4.0.4 individually later way , etc ...
I understand both 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 kernel version are same but still 4.0.4 isn't rootable the old Root Exploit One Click way, which was used for 4.0.3 . So definately there could be some difference mayb better battery performance, they would have locked to not be able to root the old way and something new is needed for it? i mean they maybe would have just modified the same kernel version...
so please would highly appreciate anyone's help if one can provide me root 4.0.4 kernel the One Click way .
Regards

That's exactly what he said he DIDN'T want to do. LOL!
@shantusingh, there is no other way currently known to root 4.0.4 other than the steps you mentioned in your first step.

thanks for understanding and for letting me know, though hope one simple way comes out soon..
my basic idea is as like many others, we try different generic and in end we would only want our generic to be running when it officially comes because maybe we get less bloatware, better performance or could be anything..
so i want when i get 4.0.4 update then i cleanely update with root one click way... to get everything my generic with root in the end, even if other generic's kernel verison,etc be the same...
So i am counting on the genius devs here!
if we don't get root one click way for 4.0.4, then my other idea is i will officially update 4.0.4 via pc camp when it comes to india .. and when i get it i will check it with the 4.0.3's kernel version screenshot that i will already save to pc. So if they will be the same.... i will then only flash 4.0.3's kernel then will root my phone the old one click way ....
after that then will flash my phone with 4.0.4's kernel from 4.0.4 update ftf which was leaked on xda as i wont mind flashing other generic if everything matches. So i then will get it confirmed everything from stock that what i got in my region was the same aswell i didn't missed anything and will in end have stock 4.0.4 with stock 4.0.4 kernel(of other generic, but if version and everything will be same so can say indian kernel aswell) rooted! this way. Will do all this only if root one click simple way isn't developed for 4.0.4
Hope people understood what i am tring to explain the logic, it is very complex and absurd but all in the end all i am asking is to get same simple way to root 4.0.4 in the end

Didn't you say it was possible to get your hands on the Generic World from your contact at Sony India over the weekend? Any luck regarding that?

XS 1257-6926 ICS ftf

Hey guys looking for a FTF file for ICS .45 build for the 1257-6926 customization number. Should be the US model XS. Anyone have a link for it or can upload it for me please. Thanks in advance.

Use any kind of firmware, there is no difference between them, here is the .45 firmware http://uploaded.net/file/g1lw75tw/from/991wtg , there is another new version: 6.1.A.2.55, look for it :laugh:

I'm not looking for "any kind of firmware" which is why I specifically asked for this version and yes there are some slight differences. I am testing something that appears to only happen on US firmwares for some devices and need this specific firmware for the XS. I asked for this specific one for a reason.

Bump. I'll take any ftf for the 1257-6926 customization number even GB if anyone has it. Really need to check something on it.

[Stock ROM][FTF] Xperia ZL (C6506) 10.3.1.A.0.244 Commercial & Journalists

As the title says, attached are the links to download the 10.3.1.A.0.244 Commercial/Journalists (1270-4005) firmware for the C6506. This contains the same baseband needed for the AT&T LTE, not sure about others. From my observations, the firmware is identical to the US Generic, nothing more...nothing less.
If you want to use it to flash other C6506 variants (e.g. Canada, Mexico, etc...), you should be able to flash everything except the baseband and that will maintain your original baseband. Alternatively, you can flash the original baseband afterwards if the included baseband doesn't support your carrier. Just make sure you have a stock FTF of your firmware before you decide to go this route.
I was also able to successfully root it via DoomLord's latest thread. It will require the kernel from the previous C6505 10.3.A.0.423 stock firmware (C6506 ONLY). Customization doesn't matter, as long as it's for the C6506 and Android 4.2.2 so the kernels match. If not, you'll get into a bootloop.
Upon successful initial boot, it will ask you to download Data/MMS settings. Just as well, it will default to WCDMA connection type, so just go under Settings>Networks(more)>Mobile Networks>Network Mode and select LTE.
It is always HIGHLY ADVISABLE that you keep a stock FTF of your firmware before flashing any other stock FTF that changes your customization, so you can easily go back to your original customization or repair the phone in case something goes wrong. You can learn more about this here.

You'll need 7-Zip or any extractor that can handle 7Z formats.

So whats different on this compared to other stock images? Just curious

Would this work for my locked canada C6506 ?

I noticed zero differences between this and US Generic. Software is dead on identical in every way. The only reason I flashed this is because Sony hasn't released the 10.3.1.A.0.244 for the C6505 US Generic...and I, and others I'm sure, are highly impatient to wait

It should work, just make sure you have an FTF of your current stock ROM in case you need to flash the baseband from it. Like I said, I don't know for certain whether the baseband from this ROM supports the LTE bands of your carrier or not. For me, AT&T was supported the same way the US Generic did.

Can this rom work on locked bootloader?

Absolutely. Flashing stock FTFs don't require an unlocked bootloader, only custom ROMS do. So you should be good to go.

Thanks! How is the rom so far? BTW I'm on T-Mobile USA

The update is awesome, the phone is pretty much flawless now.
BTW...Sony just released the update for the US Generic (just now)...so you might want to check for the the OTA or use PC Companion. In other words, you don't need to flash the ROM in this thread.

Urgent help for Xperia ZL (6505) 4.1
Guys - I just got a Xperia ZL (c6506) and unlocked it from Claro. The problem is that Claro has put so much of bloatware on the phone plus there is still for update on 4.1 JB.
Can I flash a stock ROM (4.3) on my current phone to get rid of the bloatware and run 4.3 ? I am still on baseband 10.1.1.A.1.253 and bootloader is locked.
I understand this is a pretty novice request but please help as I am getting confused with the multiple info being provided.

Can you give me A link of c6506 baseband or ftf that LTE supported ? Because it has dead link .

Do it manually, download the .ftf, use Flashtool and flash the ROM. If your phone is not rooted, then root it.

Hello
I have one Sony AT&T ION and want to upgrade it to Jelly Bean as well. Can you please tell me how to do it? Any link is available? Thanks a lot!

you can update to JB via flashtool (unofficial) method.
see this threads:
1. flashing instructions
2. software download links

With the ATT devices I highly suggest you use the Rogers .211 ftf. After that try ExistenZ.

This works
I recently bought an LT28AT off ebay. I was dismayed when I started reading about the bootloader, the lack of JB for the ATT crowd...
So I decided to take a gamble and flash the Rogers file [Sony Xperia Ion (LT28i)_6.2.B.0.211_Rogers (Canada).ftf].
I can confirm that if you follow the instructions (I used the Linux version), you CAN use the Rogers JB flavor for the LT28i on this phone.
MAJOR CAVEAT: YOU MUST EXCLUDE BASEBAND WHEN FLASHING TO THE ROGERS ROM WITH AN AT&T PHONE. IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, YOU CAN'T MAKE CALLS.
I have attached an image that shows where the option is. TICK THAT DAYUM BOX.I didn't the first time, and inadvertently flashed the wrong baseband. Calls sounded like my phone was at the bottom of a swimming pool. I remedied that by flashing back to AT&T ICS, then flashing back to Rogers, this time wisely skipping baseband.
I haven't fully tested it, but it is FAR better than the ICS version that I updated it to using Sony companion.
So for those wondering, if you have an LT28AT, and you want to use Jellybean, I can confirm it works. The other fine posters above will direct you to how.
Now to experiment further...
