Folks, I just upgraded my ARC LT15i to Official .587 rom and USB Debugging is not working and the phone is painfully slow. Note: my SI was not listed to I flashed my phone using offical ICS rom .62 then when it had booted into ICS it prompted for upgrade into .587.
please help
thanks
make full wipe and test again if slow
install one of these - they're based on ICS and are blazingly fast Jelly Sandwhich or Xperia HD Ultimate

Just download version 7.4 and put on sd card and then flash with cwm. If you want to use version 8.2, you must download 8.0, flash it, download 8.1, flash it, and then download 8.2 and flash it lol. It's quite easy Follow the instructions on the post

Hi everyone, i just bought a Xperia Arc and its currently running Android 2.3.2
My questions are:
1 - Which is the latest version update for Xperia Arc ?
2 - I tried to look for an update using the "Sony Ericson PC Companion" but it says that there is no avaible update. Why is it happening?
3 - The fact that my carrier is "VIVO" (From Brasil) means i can´t update my Phone?
4 - Is there any "Safe" (I know every way may brick your phone,i´ve flashed tons of custom roms on galaxy phones) way to update it to the latest version (or at least to 2.3.3 where i´ve seen some cool features) without breaking my 3G connection with my carrier ?
5 - I Know ICS is going to be released for our phones,but,will the update be Global or Carrier-by-Carrier like ?
Thanks in advance for any help/answers.
I will stay tuned here !
Flash with flash tool.
Debrand it with generic 2.3.4
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium
Can i flash a "Global" Rom that works in every country,with every carrier ?
That would solve my issue,if theres any 2.3.4 (Which i found to be the latest version) rom (STOCK ROM,not CUSTOM) that i can flash safely.
Waiting for answers.
Where are you developers ?
Read the stickys.
Search for flashtool and read how to use it.
Then search for 2.3.4 generic world and flash it with tool above.

Is it already rooted?
Safe ?
Does 3G Works with worldwide carriers ?
No it's not rooted (well you can flash pre-rooted one)
Yes it is safe.
Yes 3g works.

Thanks,again.
Last one,do you mind linking me a "how to" guide so i can follow it?
I´ve found this on on Youtube,but im not sure if its the same step-by-step: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmmThXTWu74
Also,Flashing this global rom,will prevent some apps from SE like TrackID to work or whatever ?
I´ve read it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
Look in general and devs section, there are tutorials.
Im on phone so i cant copy/paste link to it.
Someone will give you link,or ask flo95 for it.

First of all I apologize for the noob question but I spent more than 24h reading this forum and I wasn't be able to find a clear answer to my question.
I come from other devices (HTC and Samsung). All of them was unrouted and fixed up the bootloader, simply by myself...
Yesterday I went crazy and I bought a new ArcS (LT18s)...
Good price, good quality, why not!
Actually my ArcS is:
system Root using DooMLoRD - Easy Rooting Toolkit
unlocked the bootloader using the follow procedure http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
recovered after a OTA upgrade (Yes I'm an idiot, don't say a word)
i need to know if:
With a ROM (ex DooMLoRD - ICS Alpha or a doomed151 - Arconium) is included the Kernel or not?
and:
What kind of system i must follow to upgrade?
Thanks a lot
Perhaps I solved. Like a noob I haven't read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314 is correct also if the device is LT15???
Better flash a LT18 firmware.
And for Arconium ROM DooMKernel is recommended.

"Requirements" don't mean you must preflash .42/.58/.62
But its recommended.
.266 is this 2.3.2 or what? Sry noob question

Well I ask this because 2.3.4 is unrootable unless you flash a pre-rooted kernel so if your BL is unlocked then flash a pre-rooted kernel and install CWM recovery then install your prefered ICS ROM or I would suggest JB then flash their kernel and you should be good

Ooh, sorry my bad, thanks
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I dont understand why u say "i'm using STOCK ICS"... what is STOCK ICS? Since Xperia Play never had an OFFICIAL STOCK ICS.
Anyway if u are having problem, probably u have Markphyton rom.
Advice: if u want a perfect ICS rom stable with 100% touchpad, use CM9.1
This is simple, just flash This 2.3.4 enhanced version, turn on USB debugging mode, then use SuperOneClick or flashtool to root it.

1st step is unnecessary, because kernel will be flashed together with firmware anyway. Everything else is correct.

.13 is a branded firmware, only available for some regions.
For every other region, .587 is the newest.
To OP: Checked my files storage.
For Xperia Arc, I found .431. You can install this and then make update to .587 (either OTA or via PC Companion): http://www.mediafire.com/download/pzr6phfd19xgbva/LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.7z
For Xperia Arc S, I found .587 firmware: http://www.mediafire.com/download/rhr59r4o6oarnfx/LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).7z
