Help to obtain Xperia Arc S firmware - Xperia Arc General

If someone can tell me if it´s there a posibility to change my arc so the Emma recognises it as an LT18, maybe i can download the lt18 firmware.
Thanks

i think it would be the same firm, cause are the same specs only that have a 1.4 procesor, i don't see new features only for the S

It will probaly just be a standard 2.3.4 or whatever it is and we will get that in oct anyways

Yes, your rooted phone will still be able to receive updates from Sony.
to my surprise, my pc companion can even detect my x10 and says that i've got the latest firmware lol :O)
You can still use SEUS and pc companion with a custom rom too, have had to reflash generic 2.1.1 a few times now lol

Just connected my x10 to pc and told me I had to update the companion does this mean its getting ready for the Gingerbread update thoughts
No, it doesn't mean that. I think it's just some bugfixes, performance updates etc...

xperia play, which rom is the best?

hey
im a new xperia play user and i got a few questions.
which rom for now is the best?
(please link me the instruction and rom file)
before im downloading a new rom to the device should i root it first?
my current spec:
model number R800i, android ver. 2.3.2
baseband 7x30A-AAABQMAZM-1290_14-10
KERNEL 2.6.32.9-PERF [email protected]#1
BUILD NUMBER 3.0.A.2.181
answer please?
The ROM scene seems slow and complicated at the moment for the XPlay. Different versions of the phone needing different ROM installations, Sony blocking this, that and the other. High chance to brick......
For this reason i went back to 2.3.3 (unrooted).
Apart from being able to overclock and get rid of a bit of bloatware, both of which are not really necessary, i don't see any reason just yet to install new ROMS (or even root for that matter).
I wont update to 2.3.4 until it becomes officially available either. (Few weeks yet i beleive).
I use the 4.0 firmware by flashing it using x10 flashtool in 2.91 beta
I use doomkernel aswell

You do realize it's incredibly hard too really brick this phone right... You can all ways use flashtool to get out of it. And step by step directions is hard? Not to mention various guides helping noobs thanks to fma.

GB: NXT Lite
ICS: Xperia Play Express Rom ICS
JB: SlimBean for Xperia Play
NXT Lite is best for gaming. If you don't like stock SE UI, you can flash Gin2JellyBean theme.
There is no such thing.

Firmware and CM7

I put r800a 2.3.3 US Generic .ftf on my Xperia Play using FlashTool, then I put CM7 on it. Its working beautifully.
If I want to put another firmware on my phone after the fact, can I just use FlashTool to flash over the firmware that is currently on it? How are people doing it?
Now when I look at my firmware version on the phone and it says 2.3.7 . Is that because CM7 already updated the firmware for me? Is it just updating whatever firmware is on it at the moment or does it always say 2.3.7?
If I do put on a newer version firmware now, won’t I lose my root access and wouldn’t I have to root it again?
Please help
Thanks

anyone?

CM7 is based on the version 2.3.7 of Android, more precisely of the Android Open Source Project.
if you use Flashtool you will be replacing CM7 with Sony Ericsson's firmware. You will lose root.
Ok makes sense.. thanks

Do people use the lastest version of flashtool?

Latest is 0.5.1.0?
Yes, now I do - thanks
Used it successfully on an Xperia Arc this morning. No problems.

Used it successfully on Xperia Arc yesterday
If its the same version that's been stickied at the top of the dev section for god knows how long, yes.

My computer alsways aborts with an error when I try to flash my Arc (no prob at all with X10) so I use my netbook for flashing my Arc and I didn't use it a while so I couldn't update yet
