Yes you can. I hate waiting for updates too. If you have root, there is a link in my thread showing how to update to 4.3 from a country that has it.

will this flashing void warranty?
Flashing FTF file of stock firmware will not void your warranty unless you unlocked your boot-loader. you can take TA BACKUP before unlocking your bootloader and then restore them.(after restoring your DRM keys you will regain your warranty)

i think so, if you want to claim warranty you could always flas back to philippines firmware

You could downgrade to .42 firmware using Flashtool.
But downgrade needs an unlocked bootloader right ?

What are you talking about?
I've written he could downgrade from .62 firmware to .42 firmware, so he can use the zergRush exploit.
Nothing about 2.3.2!

Yea it works even when you are rooted.
To change the region you gotta change the serial number of the device firmware in the build properties To the location where you want to change . The serial number is in the format XXXX-XXXX.
Or you can do it the easy way using flash tool.

If you use the latest version of flash tool you don't need to have ab unlocked boot loader.
You can always unlock your boot loader if it is allowed.

first of all,ota is not available for ics!
Sony said that in a blog post!
Like gire.prasad said, an OTA update for ICS will NOT be there. You would need to use SEUS or Flashtool or any other flashing programme.
Apparently, a new firmware was just certified in PTCRB.
Does anyone have any info on this?
Wow, more updates!
Does anyone know what is the update for?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
hope this one will be as smooth as GB.
hmmm looking forward to see what new features fixes does it have. hopefully it is not a regional framework only.
looks like it is a carrier/region specific update..btw one update for arc s is on its way..
It,s the same 4.0.4 but for a carrier in the UK
I'm not have update ?
I believe it's the 4.0.4 ICS UK update for 3.
At least that's what was reported by one of our other members.
Sorry if that dashed your hopes. LOL!
How will this work as I am on 3 and my Phone has officially updated to 4.0.4

My phone is branded to `3` and to concur with xtacy above , it recently updated to this firmware .
Hmm. Does this only occur on unrooted? I am on 3 and it just says I have the latest software if I check in PC Companion?
did u flash an ftf to update ur phone or get it through update official ?

I used PC Companion to flash then ran Doomlord root bat file. I take it I won't get any official update unless I remove root (probably have to do repair to do that though right?).
I have a notification saying FW 4.1.B.0.431 Is now available. Anyone know what it is? Don't want to update if it's just a few fixes for 4.0.3.

Hi there,
I got my ZL few weeks ago, It was sim-locked. and it locked to Bell Canada.
I was bought a code from cellunlocker, and successfully unlocked my zl. After that, I tried to unlock the bl, it wasn't working
so, I check the status of BL, it says unlock allowed no, why? I used to have xperia s, the bl unlock allowed says yes after unsimlock, but why zl not?
Anyone got the same situation? Is it any solution on this thing?
Guys, talk about your operator and your device status:laugh:

Have u rooted your before? Because early root method have false unlockable status. If you are not, I think ur bootloader is lock by the carrier.

uhh..this isn't work for me...
My firmware updated last night which is 1.1.A.1.253, I lost root and I have no idea how to degrade to 434 without lost userdata.
I did try flashtool to flash 434 again, but when os is getting start, just pop up a windows says updating NFC blablabla... and it reboot and again , dead loop...
Is that false status will become normal after flash ftf with wipe data?

Did u wipe ur cache when u flash the 434? If i'm not mistaken if u hv bootloader lock do not wipe cache if u flashing rom it may boot loop but I may mistaken about this.
Have u test repair feature in PC companion after that if successfully booted, try degrade ur rom with flashtool without wiping cache but i'm not sure whether u need root to flash ftf using flashtool. Many people in Z successfully downgraded to 434 actually but not sure via what.

Before unlock BL don't forget to backup your TA.
I did not, and now I lost my certificade for ever.
So here is a tip, do that backup (TA) it's very easy to do.
Good luck!
