Using flashtool, this will put you on stock GB!

that flash took you completly back to stock so no more root access and all the bloatware has been added...is the flash to android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4????

ohhhh jheez, so i have to root it again, what about my bootloader? and it says 2.3.4, why's that?

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

Sorry which Rom are you using and what is Sig?

Sig is his signature.... Look under his comment it says ROM slimbeam v3 and the kernel he is using
Ooh, sorry my bad, thanks

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.

This will not help with your headphone jack issue, you will have to buy this adaptor: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-EC250-Headphones-Adaptor-1249-0456/dp/B009HW15UG/

First of all, excuse me for my ****ty english...
So here we go, i've got 2 arc's wright... unlocked the first one, flashed the 1.86ghz kernel and lost wifi and bluetooth... flashed some firmwares, doomlords kernel so lost track on where I lost my wifi...
sick of the laggy performance, sick of the lack of normal memory capacity, so unlocked the other arc and only flashed the 1,86ghz kernel, hoping it wouldnt lose wifi and bluetooth... #bummer...
So, what to do next, how do I get my wifi and bluetooth working again?
Someone got an idea bout what to do?
just flash stock rom, then pre-rooted img. and start again. may be a corrupted file.

any idea when there will be a fix for 2.3.4? I'm just done costumizing my arc, what takes me about 6 hours...
I'll try flashing back to 2.3.3 on my other Arc soon, just so I know that rlly is the problem... Wanted to do that previously but couldnt find 2.3.3 img
Thanks for your replies, now where the he** do I find that #thanks button?

What's currently the best combination, stable, fast, no bugs?
And is there a good bug free ics rom out there? I'd like to give it a try.
Thanks in advance
I unlocked bootloader today, and I'm on .58 fw version, 2.3.4
I have: Stock Rom 2.3.4 + DoomLoRD's Kernel.
Full touchpad support and fast without bloatware.

Any idea what changes were from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4?
Advanced Stock and Darkforest ICS.
Unless you want to game correctly/heavily.
Then id suggest staying where you are.

That's basically my predicament. I really enjoyed ICS and pax's modified kernel, but you can't play PSXperia games on ICS. Back to stock ROM I went...
on my opinion , use 2.3.4 + sony's default kernel + some tweaks
as i experienced (( i've checked all kernels )) , all kernels have some bugs , just sony'y default kernel is #1 .
but you can try , if you want

And for best ROMs, I prefer CM9 by FXP. Touchpads work like they should (at least in Minecraft).

Search around the development forum, I think there's a tread with the links for all versions of stock ftfs
Sent from my R800i using XDA
I second this.
I use JokaWild v2.5 w/ v13 Doomkernel. It is super fast.
So the new ICS .ftf is out now.
What I want to know is the next:
After flashing ICS 4.0.4, can I still go back to Gingerbread with the respective .ftf file and Flashtool? Or once updated, it can't go back?
Also, would I be able to use Custom ROMs like CM 7.2 or CM 9 while on ICS?
Thanks in advance.
up up up up up up up
You can go back but you may have issues, if say you had gb2.3.4 build .42 THEN YOU WiLL NEED TO FLASH .62 THEN GO BACK TO .42.
I don't recommend going from ics 4.0.3/4.0.4 then 2.3.4 .42 without .62.
As all cases the risk is there.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
I had build .58, but in any case, I can tell that as well I would have to go to .62 then to .58.
At least there is a way.
Anyways, I'm really ok with custom ROMs and Kernels, I haven't seen any reason why to move to ICS, just wanted to know.

I have read that you also need an older version of flashtools as v8.xxxxx no longer supports gb, I cant confirm this but it may be something to remember if ever you went back.

Hi
I have flashed the global ICS firmware for my xperia arc ! i really like it but it is not as smooth as the gingerbread. I know the firmware is full of bloatware and thats why its a bit laggy..
My question is there a ROM (modified firmware) which i can flash to make the ics run smoothly and faster on my arc ??
Try Arconium.

Till Now Generic Global World Firmware is BEST.
Cm7 only
AOKP! But needs unlocked bootloader..
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
I'm using the World Generic 4.04 stock rom, and find it occasionally locks up and crashes, I do like the feel and style of ICS but dont think its been perfected for the Arc yet, if I could unlock my bootloader i'd try other roms, so its between ICS or Gingerbread for me

If you have DoomLord Kernel you must have root it's built in!:good:Your thumbnail picture say's superuser not installed if it is install this alternative
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDYsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zdXBlcnN1Il0.If I have had problems with su/root before this as helped:good:
If you have superuser installed remove that and use the app in the link.
Also try this as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsInN0ZXJpY3Nvbi5idXN5Ym94Il0.
Use superone click for root! For some reason the rom your using doesnt recognize super user from doomkernel.
Or use SuperSU... It worked for me...

Hey ! Download the RootXperia from the FreeXperia , if you have the DoomKernel you can flash it , just put it on your sdcard and there you go iam tried it and its worked for me
