Hi, i got a problem with an xperia s wich is unable to find any official update from the android version 2.3.7. .
The phone is stuck in that android version and says that's the last software update avaible.
How could this possible??
I live in Italy and the phone is a no brand white version.
Thankyou very much, let me know if i could give you some other details to help diagnosing the problem
I'd use the Sony update tool to check it

Use Flashtool to flash 4.0.4!
You can download the Firmware here at xda
use this tools for updating your phone

Thankyou very much, what about the warranty and/or the risks using this tool? This doesn't seem the official way.
You wont loose warranty with this Tool. Only if you unlock the bootloader.
It isn't the Oficial way, but you use official firmware.

A quick question: i have a rooted r800i and a UK generic 2.3.4. I'm planing on unlocking my bootlodaer, but if SE releases an ICS update for my XPlay in the next few months, I wont be able to update via OTA nor PCcompanion.
Then, Will I have to wait for someone to post the official ICS on the forums or use custom ROMs my whole lifetime?
Note than Wotanservers never let me use their updater for free (maybe because i'm from Bosnia...)

So what? Before SE releases the version in YOUR COUNTRY - you'll get it here. So it's even faster.
Yeah, you have right ^_^
Ciao locked bootlader!

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

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.

Yea it works even when you are rooted.
To change the region you gotta change the serial number of the device firmware in the build properties To the location where you want to change . The serial number is in the format XXXX-XXXX.
Or you can do it the easy way using flash tool.

If you use the latest version of flash tool you don't need to have ab unlocked boot loader.
You can always unlock your boot loader if it is allowed.

first of all,ota is not available for ics!
Sony said that in a blog post!
Like gire.prasad said, an OTA update for ICS will NOT be there. You would need to use SEUS or Flashtool or any other flashing programme.
Hi - wifey has an Xperia Arc S (unbranded UK). Its still running gingerbread .... is this right ? Checking for updates says that its on the latest version but I keep hearing that Arc S users are on 4.0.3 and even 4.0.4.
She is on 1254-1957.
She wont let me flash any custom ROMs
Don't know way
But you can use flashtool to flash stock rom too

My wife is the same she won't let me near her phone... In her words,I am always needing to restore backups why? Because of some mod update etc.
As regard your main question it could be because of the phone carrier, not releasing an update.
I have t-mobile arc and they haven't updated to ics according to pc companion always shows I have latest software, but flashtools will upgrade if you can convince her to let you.

For what? It's solved. No need to refreshing it. You can't update your phone via OTA! Only PC Companion or SUS.

Repair the device using SUS/SUES. There should be a repair option. It should update your phone.
OR else flash a stock FTF/ Firmware using Flashtools then repair your device using SUS. That should work too.
Check the General Section for firmware source and tutorial.
