There is no difference in these 2 firmwares.
4.0.2.A.0.69 is a German-only firmware (branded?) which has slightly edited Google Apps' names (due to legal issues). The rest is same as 4.0.2.A.0.62

[Q] Downgrade my arc s from ics to gingerbread.

I recently upgraded my arc s to ICS beta. Since it has no bluetooth wifi or the android market, i want to downgrade it back to Gingerbread. Can some one please help? ps. stupid me did not make any backup before upgrading..
Thank You.
Have you tried the Official ICS yet? Maybe it will resolve some of the issues you were having.
If you really want to downgrade though, all you have to do is flash the respective ftf file using flashtool. You'll find lots of guides/resources for this in the development section.
I dd not try the official. where can i find it? i installed beta only.
thank you.

if u are trying to say u need the .42 ftf then its in the same link, just scroll down and look for : 4.0.2.A.0.42
Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (2.3.4) (1254-2716)
india generic hardly matters as Central Europe i believe is the same as if u flash this via flash tools. then as the phone will start u will on top get the language "hindi" option aswell or india "english" .. you can root this, then update via wifi to .62 n u will still have root
if u have unlocked ur bootloader make sure u have locked it so u be able to update to .62 via wifi

ics can run on any fw.. but to prevent unwanted problem.. it is recommended to use .62 fw
Thanks for your help. I meant the ICS++ rom but I guess this goes the same anyway?

Baseband for Xperia Arc S

Hello all, I have a Xperia Arc S mobile with FXP128 and baseband version 64. I want to upgrade the baseband to 72, but I don't know how to do that.
There are lots of baseband availabale here: http://uploaded.to/folder/um2ivw
Which one must I use for the Arc S?
How must I install it?
Thanks and best regards.
Wrong forum. Go for "LT18i" also flash it using flash tools.
Watch here threse baseband are ok...
Or you can download it from your link, (LT18i=arc s) (BB72= baseband 72) and (4.1.B.0.431=firmware where BB comes from)...
So for your choice, you must flash with flashtool version LT18i_4.1.B.0.431_BB72.ftf

[Q] Changing Baseband.

Hi all,
I am a newbie to xda and rooting.
I have Xperia Pro MK16i and i wish to root it.
Its on baseband 64 with 4.0.2.A.0.62.
I understood till flashing .62 by .58 and then rooting and installing custom roms etc.
My problem is, I am confused as to whether i can flash my baseband.
Assuming that I've flashed, rooted and installed 4.0.2.A.0.58 and runs on .58 with baseband 58 and firmware 58, can I upgrade my baseband alone to 77 using flashtool while running on 58 firmware?
Someone please reply ASAP...
Hearty thanks in advance !

Yes, you can flash any bb although it isn't the same number version but it isn't necessary to make a so outlandish thread.
Thanks...

[Q] Arc S Lt18i 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware needed

Hi guys, I'm looking for latest gb firmware for the Arc S Lt18i 4.0.2.A.0.62. I found out many threads/links but none of those is working, all are offline.
So i'm just asking, can anyone kindly share with me Italian version or Generic EU version of 4.0.2.A.0.62 for Lt18i please?
Thanks in advance

Thanks buddy for your links. The one you sent to me is generic India firmware, yesterday i found out Generic World UK version from this site:
http://forumobileservice.blogspot.it/2013/08/sony-official-firmware.html
Are there so many differences between each countries releases?Is there a global version?
Thanks
I think the differences between them are extra apps included and languages. Main parts are same.
If you flash ftf file with Flashtool, there is an option "Exclude TA" to swipe "simlock.ta" in firmware, then you can use normaly.

Ok clear, thanks Just last question, Do you suggest to update to stock ICS instead of stock GB? Is GB overall better than ICS?I heard that stock ics is little worse (laggier)..
Thanks
Yes, stock GB is smoother than stock ICS. But it miss alot of features, and some new apps dont support GB, e.g: new Gmail app. I have a backup android phone run GB, the last time I check, gmail app is really suck and ugly :silly:
Flash GB if you need performance.
But for something new and fast, you should try custom roms based on Kitkat.

I was also thinking about Xperia Hd Ultimate Ics based rom, just to have stock look but without missing performances. I hope it's the right choice.
Thanks for your advices buddy

If you request rooted device, i suggest flashing 0.42, doing root and then OTA update to 0.62. Flashed 0.62 cannot be rooted.

Thanks
I am just reading this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711), it seems be solved. Thanks for your correction.
