Yes @christin91,
Even if Your phone is from Dubai. You can get all the updates Anywhere in the world.
Do not root or unlock the bootloader of your device. As that will void the warranty.
Happy Shopping Your Xperia S

I'm from India too..I got the update via OTA 2 days before..I think not every device get it at the same time..just wait for the OTA that can be released for your mobile too.If you cant wait Flash the 2.3.4 generic using flashtool..Hope it helps..

AFAIK the update is not for a particular device but for a particular region, so if they have released for India then all devices here running the generic firmware that came with the phone would be getting the OTA notification...I wonder how did u get it? Did u flash another firmware after u purchased the arc or did u have the generic one that came installed on the phone?
Hi xda,
I'm new in this forum
I bought a Sony Xperia ION (LT28at) and I rooted with a .bat file
How can I install Jelly Bean versions if my bootloader is locked
It says: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
Thanks for your help
and sorry for my English ;D
Instead of posting a new thread, use the search button and read please. This topics were discussed many times.
You will get Jelly Bean when it will be released. Official JB for iON not yet released.
You can update official JB with a locked bootloader also. Unlocking bootloader not required.
But Bootloader unlocking required if you want to use any custom ROM and post questions in Q/A forum next time please.
Thanks for your reply and your welcome,
I know, the ION doesn't have Jelly Bean, but I can install a JB Custom ROM?
Can you please put the url to unlock my bootloader?
Its secure to do that?
If your bootloader status says this= "Bootloader unlock allowed: NO"
then i am afraid you won't be able to unlock the bootloader using the traditional way by yourself my friend.
You either have to pay for it or contact your carrier for unlocking. But i think JB for iON may not be very far, so u can wait if u want.

JB was released today in America for the LT28at by the way.
Try to use the Sony PC software to do the update.

I just got the software update prompt 20 minutes ago.
This reply is assuming you're directing that "troll" accusation towards me.

Thanks for the civilized reply. I suppose that's the one. I haven't agreed to the update yet, so shame on me for assuming it was 4.1
it's definitely misleading that their JB updates rolled out today and this BS update came out too though.
OP, you're SOL man.. at least until Sony and AT&T actually decide to update this thing like they said they would months ago.

Yes you can update it...... But you will lose root.
I need to clear some thing for you, rooting does not give you access to download apps free from Google Play. So you should remember that also. I am saying this because you said so-

Oh and please don't post links to cracked apps or wares sites. Mods are very strict about this. If you are unhappy with stock ICS, just go to the development section and check out some custom ROMs. And please be patient - JB is coming in May.

For that, you have to flash a pre rooted rom using flash tool.... If you are planning on upgrading to ICS firmware, no need of flashing pre - rooted rom.. Every ICS firmware on Xperia S can be rooted easily (1 minute work).. So update you phone using PC companion or flashtool and then root it...

Root is completely different from jailbreak...
There is no jailbreak for Android...
In Android JB means 'Jelly Bean' aka android 4.1

Hi, I m from Brazil
I just bought a Xperia ZQ and it s my first Sony. Can you help me with some questions?
I ve already know that I can change my carrier version by another registered one downloaded right here in xda website without root or unlock the bootloader, right?
As I m not a developer, why would I need to root and unlock the bootloader?
Where, if It is possible, can I find different skins and themes for it?
How can I know about new upates? For example, new releases of firmware or android versions?
Thank you

Its called Xperia ZL so just search it on the search for device bar. You dont have to be a developer to unlock as unlocking can give you cool roms that can be very much customized.

You get updates thru SONY and you will get a notification when you can get a update.
To see if you can unlock your bootloader go to
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions as it will tell you the directions then once you have unlocked, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2095 and find some roms. ( its a little dangerous if you dont know what your doing ) and UNLOCKING will void the warranty

If you have already unlocked your bootloader, without backing up your Drm Keys, then you wont get the bravia engine back.

I havent unlocked my bootloader yet. I just rooted (the bootloader changed unlockable yes to no), installed cwm and made a backup using cwm, saved in internal storage. Is that enough? Is this backup saved the drm keys?
Thank you

Use the tutorial I have linked above, with that method you will get your phone back to factory-state when you want to.

The phone is fantastic, but the battery is below average even with 3g, altough the relates i hear about SIV are even worse. Since HTC don't sell officialy in Brazil anymore, i don't trust in LG and Motorola don't have a rival for these phones i think ZQ is the best choise.
I'm a heavy user, so i charge it twice a day,but with moderate use + stamina mode i think you can get a day of battery.
