Xperia Arc v. 2.3.2 ( Lt15a): How to update and flash?

Hello, I'm confused. Can you help? I have a Xperia Arc, full of junk that they put the telephone company and the android version 2.3.2. Please, can you explain how I can easily remove the phone company's firmware by another generic firmware (for latin america Lt15a) and as I update to version 2.3.4? Thank you.

Go in xperia android development on these forums
there you would have to look for a thread in which it will explain exactly how to
completely flash a new firmware.
Doing that should help you fix your problem, also you should try restoring your phone through PC companion software that comes with the phone you might lose all your data but atleast your phone will start working again.

I am told my arc is bricked - battery permanantly at 0%

So I wanted to debrand my Xperia Arc installed generic firmware as this was the only option I could find since I couldnt unlock the bootloader
I think from the research I have done that downgrading from 2.3.4 to 2.3.0 was the dummest thing to have done in universe.
I have had a look for anyone with this problem and all I can find is a vague reference to a kernal that fixes it, no link, and search comes back with nothing.
So I am bad, I messed up, surely there is something someone can do
Please Help

(Q) Warranty Claim

Hey guys,
My arc S has a screen defect and I'm going to get it replaced/repaired under warranty so what should I do before I hand it in? I'm going to relock my bootloader and flash a stock firmware file. Anything else?
(BTW guys, I have a black arc S atm do you think ill be able to convince them to give me a white one if the phone does get replaced which it probably will have to)

as u r going to relock the bootloader and flash a stock firmware, i guess its enough..do install few apps just to make them believe that u were on stock since u bought it
I dont think they will give you a new phone..they will replace the screen ,not the phone..so white arc s is out of the picture ..anyways u can try and ask them if its possible..but i highly doubt
All the best

Need to Restore Xperia SL to Stock

Kindly help me. I rooted a friends device, but since i have rooted none of the roms work properly. Actually I had not updated the stock rom to latest version. Just unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. I need to revert it back to stock without bricking the phones. I have rooted and played with HTC phones as well but never had any issues.
As far as i know for Xperia SL we need to go to flash mode and flash the Stock rom using FlashTool for Xperia Devices.
Can someone just provide me links to the stock rom for SL.
I know itz noobish to ask what i am asking. But itz a friends phone and i dont have it for enough time to do research and try eveything hence need a straight foward approach. Thankx a lot i hope i am not a bother

A little search always helps You out and it would have definitely taken less time to search than write this post! Here is the link anyway.
