anyone please, do you have an idea?
i have the latest version, and i want a way to root it
tanks in advance for answers
NO. As stated on numerous threads.
You'll have to wait for the OTA update which is rolling out. thanhss in another thread said that he did receive the update for his Neo and he retained root.

And as said in the other thread, that is for the Neo, Arc users are told to update using PC Companion, which means you lose root.
Yup, I did mention that it was for the Neo but it does support the fact that in the near future, the arc too would get the OTA update. So let's keep our fingers crossed. LOL!
Its seems same question is repeating itself in new threads all day long.
Of course, everyone is eager to get the latest firmware. But why, oh why, can't they use the Search??

Makes you wonder why Arc users are asked to use PCC then.
LOL! We be scapegoats for them? Just kidding but it's normal that the PCC version comes out before the OTA.
Perhaps it's just the whim and fancy of the all-knowing guys over at SE
Thank you guys
but i wthink arc will never get the OTA update, cuz neo was even more developed before this final version, that is ow se is
saw someone post hk version got ota update, u could flash back to 2.3.2 (hk version)+ gingerbreak it, then do ota

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.

seriously? way to get all butt hurt.
I was just trying to help the guy who doesn't seem to have any idea what he's doing.
I just got the software update prompt 20 minutes ago.
This reply is assuming you're directing that "troll" accusation towards me.

You mean 6.1.C.1.111?
It's just a small ICS update...

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.
I have a short question regarding the security in Android.
I have a Sony Xperia S device that was sold with Android 2.3.4, later I upgraded to 4.0.4 via Sony’s PC companion software. My employer claims that my Sony phone is more vulnerable than a Samsung Nexus which was shipped with 4.0.4 just because I have upgraded it from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4.
I have not rooted my phone or anything like that.
I would like to know if a device with 4.0.4 stock from the manufacturer is “safer” than a device that is upgraded from 2.3.4?
Such thing doesn't exist.

What thing?
Do you mean that the security is the same, regardless if I have upgraded it or if it was shipped with 4.0?
I do appreciate all feedback but if someone can provide more information, that would be really helpful when arguing with my IT-department.

No 1. It doesn't matter which Android version was installed when your phone was shipped. I bought Xperia S and it had 2.3.7 then i updated to 4.0.4 and will be upgrading to 4.1 soon when SONY provides the update.
No 2. So if some one is saying that the device security is vulnerable then they are completely wrong.
Lastly Post questions in the Q/A please. Not in General.

I will provide the .ftf image for those with unlocked bootloaders as soon as i'm done with the OTA update.
Those on 3, EE, O2 take note, don't waste time waiting for carrier updates, get direct from source!
Did you even bother to check forums?
Slowpoke, why are you so slow?

Hope you'll get trophy for The Slowest Update ever on XDA ))
I got update via Companion this morning about 14 hours ago.
no pc companion update in india for sony xperia S & SL
Hello everyone,
I ve updated my fiancée LT28h with JB a few weeks ago (although I needed to tweak the build.prop with an appropriate CDA), but none the less, I ve had it for a while.
My LT28i on the other hand is still waiting on JB... although it was certified by PTCRB more than 20 days ago...
Most importantly, I don't have the time nor inclination to start over with a clean slate, so flashing is not an option, I want a native Sony update...
Did anyone anywhere received this update on their LT28i?
If yes, can you please post your CDA?
Why don't you just take the FTF and get it up using Flashtool?

I use the phone for work, and cannot run ANY risk of data loss, for compliance reasons...
Native SUS/PC companion update is reliable enough to work within these security requirements.
I much prefer doing it via SUS, thus I am looking for the CDA of phones that already got the update (if any)
Bump!
Anyone?
