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

There is no other way.

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] xperia arc S update !!!

hey !!
pliiz you advice me to update my phone to this version 4.0.2 A 0.62 ??

Charge your battery and then just follow the instructions, if there are even instuctions
Tap the update, tap download, when the download is finished, tap install.

tkx ! I know instruction
but i'm asking if i would have a problems after updating !! because I heard that this version of android poses problem after updating for the xperia phone for exemple the LED not working when you have a call or a message !!

Yes, it is possible, however highly not needed. 4.0.2.A.0.62 is the best Gingerbread release for now.

however, you wont be able to root .62

If he makes OTA update, while having root, then root stays aswell. Every other way will remove root.

"Always working" method is flash 6.1.A.2.50 with Flashtool (without wiping anything, except if you wish) and root with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Rooting itself is done in 5 minutes. Flashing? Also 5 mins.
6.1.A.2.55 firmware is not rootable, you can just flash prerooted .55 rom in CWM, but for that you still need rooted .50.

My zl originally shipped with c6502 fw .395 .
since receiving it i have flashed this C6503 fw .350 rom and every thing works great.
I even find that my wind mobile data is faster.

Thanks, would you know if Lte does indeed work after flashing the 6502 with the 6503? Someone mentioned it another thread. But it disappeared after a reboot. Hoping some deva can get this to work permanently.

Could someone please provide the German 10.1.A.1.434 as a flashable zip or something?
At the Moment I am on .350 but i can't flash the OTA-Update... Don't know why...
Getting error message: "Installation nicht möglich"

You have to do the update using the SE software on a windows pc...

Thx hyelton.
But this didn't work either. Also tried it via Web. No success.
The curious thing now is, that i am getting the message "Your software is up to date".
But i am on .350.
Before that i just got "Installation not possible".
Now i will try the repair function, maybe this helps.
Maybe someone can help me out with a manually flashable file!?

Do you have an retail device?

My device ist from Phonehouse.de
I already had the .434 update on it. But then I installed a wrong mod and I had a bootloop.
So i flashed the .350 FW from bin4ry. Now I want to install the .434 update again...
Can I flash the generic nordic Firmware on my device? Think this would be the easiest way.

Means?
what this the Original Sony Unbranded DE means? what's the different between this and the Original unbranded, and 10.1.A.1.434 - Generic Nordic 1270-6779 R5A? sorry~ but i'm a noob... lol
want to use Docomo sim card with my c6503... any ideas?

This link does not work for me (there is no ftf file there).
Could somebody upload another mirror of this somewhere else (like to me.ga or something)?
Original uploaded.net link works, but is painfully slow for me.
The German ROM should differ from Nordic in respect that it should have some extra app (like Mobile McAfee and XPeria Privilege)

A little more information besides "torrent link" might be nice. Like, what these "customizations" are, and whatnot.

Does this fix the WiFi bug in Syria

All I can say is that all custom apps installed in this rom can be removed without root.
For what .211 brings, compared to .200, search on the forum

I'm not mysterious. I took the time to download it and to share it. I have just installed it to be sure it flashes OK. I saw many custom apps can simply be removed. I didn't test anything else.

You never never need to unlock anything ... neither to have root to flash any FTF.

Thank you
I was looking for the MEA one to hopefully solve if the Wifi issue in Syria
I will report back once I finished downloading/testing
More Deatils .. if you're interested (sorry for posting here)
I tried the official update via PC Companion (after relocking) but still I had the same problem (phone freezes completely after turning WiFi on)
I Live in Syria.. and I read somewhere that changing the "operator.sim.numeric" value would help, but not for me, I tried "setprop" and MarketEnabler.. The "operator.sim.numeric" value changed alright, but the problem is still present
for now I flashed back 6.1.A.2.55 and WiFi is working as expected (so I know for a fact it's not a hardware problem as some people suggested)
if someone please can figure this out and suggest a road start, I would be so grateful, Sorry again
EDIT:
Thank you, I confirm that the FTF is working good.. I flashed it with no problems
but the Wifi issue is still there.. but I confirm its not the ftf problem, it all on Sony side with Syrian Sim Cards
however.. removing the SIM magically makes the Wifi Work Again!
Thanks anyway man, good share
