It's an Xperia S right? Did you buy it in the UK? What carrier is it locked to? Call that carrier and ask for the unlock code if you're the one who bought it from them. If you aren't, well good luck.
Flashing a global firmware won't do you any good, it'll just debrand the phone but that's it.

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?

Which country are you located? If you buy from Sony Mobile there wasn't any carrier and its Unlock. So, no branding at all. It just came with Sony preloaded software.
Otherwise, you could get it here and shipped to you.

Hi, Italy here. The Italians Carrier wil brand devices with the StartUp logo and some bookmarks.
Same issue for me.
I've ordered an Z1 Compact and I got a TIM branded device, now I need to understand if I should ask for a replacement or I can debrand without any risk.
You could flash an unbranded firmware to get rid of any software branding. Just make sure your device doesn't have a SIM lock or similar: dial *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#service#*#*), then go to Service info, SIM lock.
Read (!! not just browse) the Resource Thread for further instructions.
