[Q] How to change Orange fw by a generic Fr fw

Hello,
I just buy an xperia Arc S.
But this one has an ORANGE (operator telecom) firmware.
I want to know if someone can upload a standard French firmware.
Can root and install it like xperia Arc??
Thks a lot

Bonjour et voila
Just create an account with this service and flash your phone with their tools.
I have no idea if the Arc S is rootable or anything (I've got the first Arc), but at least it'll be unbranded from then on.
It's this firmware you're looking for btw: 4.0.1.A.0.266 (Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S) Generic Trade France (2.3.4)
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/xperia-arc-s-lt18/debranding-flash

just root phone and change cda to france generic and then use seus.

how did you posted in developer forum with no post at all

hello
thk for your answer willaaam

[Q] Is there a 4.0.2.A.0.58 ftf ready for R800i?

Hi!
I tried to flash the 4.0.2.A.0.58 from the 15i, but with that i get no service and the screen is acting funny.
Is there a 4.0.2.A.0.58 ftf ready for R800i? I read about better Battery Life in the 58, so i want to give it a try.
Greetings
MrMmmkay

Have you tried flashing it with WotanServer? Seems that version is available on there

Ok, i see. Wotan Server is new for me, but i can choose the 58 , just downloading.

i've got engough for having the message nem firmware available and when download it EIF go to install and says can't install.... F****
sorry for my english and keep on XDA Forum. Sony Ericsson should learn with XDA Team and all the people that help !!!!

I think that the only .58 firmware out right now is for Hong Kong at least it was when I checked yesterday
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

There are many languages in the HK Firmware to, so this shouldt work .
It seems i cant use the Wotan files. There seems to be no way to convert the Wotan Files to use with Flashtool.
I dont want to wipe my Userdata, so i have to use the Flashtool, on Wotan there is no Option to disable wiping Userdata as far as i know .
So, is their a Flastool ready ftf File for R800i anywhere?

Arc S stock rom

Is it possible to reinstall the completely stock rom for the xperia Arc S after I've unlocked my bootloader and tried several custom roms? like Miui and CM.
Thank you

Yes, you can install stock rom without any problems.

And where can I get it? the links I saw in a different thread are all broken...
If anyone who has the Rom could host it somewhere I would appreciate it

You can use flashtool programm you will find the firmware in the thread just search it and flash whatever firmware you want you can't update via ota/pc if bootloader is unlock(first you must locked again) or if you change something from /system
i hope i help you.

Thing is I dont have the fw I want, only have custom roms, and all the links are broken (they were from multiupload), so I would like someone to upload them again.
Thank you all for your help

It looks useful for all who's lookin for the original ROM.

Thanks guys, that worked perfectly.
One last question is Waton server always updated? I mean do they supply all the new roms? ICS is coming out soon for the xperia arc s

I have wiped all my system & dont have backup.
I Have Xperia Arc S LT18i
SI 1254-9037
But could not find the exact firmware sor SI 1254-9037 (this is Saudi Arabia sales item)
I found below ones to download, whic one will be proper for Turkey? And will it be a problem to flash?
4.1.B.0.587
Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (4.0.4) (1254-2716)
or
4.1.B.0.431
Generic Trade Turkey (4.0.4) (1254-2233)

Central Europe is made up of the following.....
Germany
Poland
Czech Republic
Slovakia
Switzerland
Austria
Slovenia
Hungary
But it will work on your device (its the update to 4.1.B.0.431)
If you want your fone back to original then stick with the Generic Trade Turkey file as Im not sure if you've had the update over there yet

Thank you wolf_b
indeed, this phone comes from Saudi Arabia
SI 1254-9037 (this is Saudi Arabia sales item) But also have Turkish language option.
But I couldnt find anything original about it, neither gingerbrea nor ICS.
So I just want to be sure, if anything negative will be happen if I flash a different SI distribution.
This is the question: If no problem, I downloaded Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (4.0.4) (1254-2716),
this is the latest ICS update of Sony. I guess it will also have Turkish Option!
What do you suggest?

[Q] [q] unlockedbootloader + .42 fw want to upgrade to .64 fw

Hello,
As the title already says, I'm running .42 firmware with the 58 baseband, and my bootloader is already unlocked, can i just flash the ftf file with the .62 firmware and not brick my phone or anything like that? I haven't seen any questions on the forum about it yet and I'm afraid to brick my phone or something. I want to upgrade to the 64 baseband so i can flash the ICS Beta.
Thanks in advance

P.S. am srry fr mah crappeh inglesh iamfrom ntthrerlanderso so thanks for your understanding

And also another question hehe :x where can i find the ftf file with the 64 baseband and the 62 firmware because FXPCM9 says u need it but there's no link.

Flashing an ftf on an unlocked bootloader is totally safe, only OTA updates are bad (unless you're testpoint unlocked). The .62 firmware is here, I've confirmed it as a working link

Thanks so much for the quick reply!
