Neo L firmware upgrade = 2011 Xperia FW upgrade? (4.1.B.0.626) - Xperia Arc General

So according to Xperia Blog, the Neo L has had new firmware certified on the PTRCB. Version 4.1.B.0.626. http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=21028
OK, but the neo L isn't a 2011 Xperia so whats your point?
Look at the version number of its upcoming firmware on the PTRCB link above. 4.1.B.0.626. Look at its previous firmware on the same list. 4.1.B.0.587. Look at our latest version. 4.1.B.0.587.
Ahhh. See what I'm getting at?
So based on this, my conclusion is that the 2011 Xperias should be receiving the .626 update soon. This will most likely be bug fixes but it's always good to see new updates from Sony. Sony did say that while we are not getting JB (unless they have a change of heart) they will still support us via ICS firmware updates.
Your thoughts? Agree or disagree?
*This thread may be closed if necessary.

yeah thats a good news if neo l will get then we can hope that our xperias will also get

I was hoping that Sony will release bug-fix firmware! :good:
Waiting for Arc S one...

we can using Xperia neo L firmware.
just flashing it except kernel and baseband.
and, flashing .562 kernel. than it will boot.
but maybe we cant using hardware key and camera.

Ok Guys, I started to port now, maybe it boots & i can upload a flashable version 4u
i think we need new baseband libs as well or w/o them network wont work maybe...
downloading atm

CyanogenMod 7.1 released

check this:

download:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=zeus
What exactly is the difference? What can you do on CM7 that you can't do otherwise? Just wondering if it's worth all the trouble.
This is an official CM rom made by the CM team. This is the final build of CM 7.1 using OS version 2.3.7. Now when the ICS source is out they will start work on CM 9. Expect daily/nightly revisions of this build from the CM devs on this forum though
And in answer to your question. CM is a android rom built from the ground up for each device. Unlike most custom roms, CM is based on the AOSP (Android open source project) and not the latest sony firmware. It's basically a stock android rom, very fast and very stable but includes nothing Sony. It dosen't even include the google apps, you have to flash them as a seperate package
is it worth doing to the xperia play, im on the latest nordic firmware would i lose things such as facebook inside, and the xperia play menus?
Sorry typo i quoted my post instead of editing it lol

You will loose everything like that. But on the plus side, you get more space, better kernel and latest android version.

hey just seen this fantastic news !!!, I apologise in advance , but would somebody be able to point me to the right area for a guide to install this on xperia play, i have a vodafone uk device with a locked bootloader,? ..... thanks in advance im sorry if this has been asked its just now this release is a stable version i wondered if there is anything inparticular i need to do different when installing
has anyone loaded this yet? is everything working, camera, touchpads etc?
the one thing i'm worried about is losing the Touhcpads/PSXperia. I know that both of these work on the XDA version of CM7, but what about the official?
hmm, prolly wont work r800x ? it says r800i

Anyone now how to istall it? There is just a zip, no boot.img. i am on 2.3.3 with doomkernel.
i'm thinking we probably have to load it with clockworkmod still waiting for mine to download though so i haven't tested yet
here's the guide for getting clockworkmod up and running:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130639
Okay my download finished i will make a uploaded.to mirror soon becouse the download on the CM site is very slow. There is a boot.img inside the zip, so i think we really just have to wipe and flash the zip.

for now everything is working really well. I'm restoring my apps right now so that's gonna take a little while but I'll let you know more later. First impressions are very, very good. All camera options work fine, the rom is really snappy, great stuff!!!
edit : one little gripe, after manually inserting the proper build.prop from your zip, my phone recognises itself as r800i but my computer still thinks it's a neo L when I plug it in. nothing major but i had to let you know
your zip has an error .. status 6...
Doesn't matter..
I downloaded this firmware .... had to convert it to ftf ... and flashed it .... feels smooth, thought there are some force closes in the start... but works great ... There is no particular difference between other firmwares and this on... Just a little smoother...
I haven't checked the touchpads yet... Will check it later..

Need help!
Who can help? How to install ROOT on SGP321 build 10.1.1.A.253 ?
Suitable ROM for SO-03E
Hello,
I have a Japanese version of the Sony XTZ (SO-03E) with 32gb, wifi, 4G LTE, 1Seg tv tuner (?).
I have been searching for a suitable firmware to flash over the stock. The Cyanogenmod firmwares fail to install through CWM due to the difference in hardware numbers (all of the CM 10 pollux builds are coded for the european units it would seem). Clockworkmod just states that I don't have the SGP### model.
Any guidance for the ROM you have listed or a point in the right direction?
Thanks,
Devices:
HP Touchpad 32gb firesale running CM9 ICS :laugh:
Sony Xperia Tablet Z (SO-03E) running stock Sony/Docomo FW .269 :crying:
CM10 for Tablet Z WiFi SGP311
I have been looking all over for a working root and recovery that will run CM10 for this thing and I cant believe there is NOTHING out there.
I did find a 1 click root solution that worked, but the only recovery I could find that would even boot up was some strange duel recovery that did'nt even work with CM10... Ugggg...
Anyone else have any luck with this tablet?
Hey, I'm a new Xperia tablet Z user...
So I'm going to build my ROM for Xperia tablet Z (LTE), But the problem is that I don't know much about the Xperia devices... As what I can see is that xperia tablet Z is using same CPU, GPU and Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8064 as nexus 4...
But confusing part is the recovery. Isn't it possible to use recovery as recovery.img instead of including it into the zImage...? I don't want to break anything so I am not going to mess with this device.

You won't find that here. Still.
Secondly, how many more times, and in how many more threads are you going to ask this question??
You have already been given a few suggestions as to what might work, but you have failed to give any feedback as to whether they do. So I can only assume you haven't tried it And you expect somebody else to do all the hard work and testing for you.

Hopefully.. We needthis badly
It is likely they did this as so people aren't running buggy software as their daily driver. It forces you to either use a ROM with working camera and modem files, or use it with MultiROM if it is available for your device.
Does anyone know if you need the special bootloader with the recovery partition for this preview?
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
A quick look at the instruction should say what's required, but if it's a sony release it'll most likely be an .ftf but no camera or modem is a bit unfortunate.... Has anyone bothered to package this yet? Just curious to see what it's like on our devices.

Hi, looking into xperiFirm about italian customizedIT firmware, and noticed that is present the last version 32.2.A.0.253/R9C
My phone, instead, is on 32.2.A.0.224 / R4C with a different number of Customization(CDF):
- mine is 1295-6968_R4C
- instead XperiFirm customizedIT is 1295-7868_R9C
Someone could explain me if I can flash the customizedIT ftf on my phone, without brick it?
Which are the differences about these two version of firmware?

Same for me.
Also I have noticed battery life a little better. :highfive:
In any case, system it's stable and fluid. I don't have problem with my SBH50 bluetooth stereo headset, so no differences for me about this.
But, if Sony fix bugs and improved battery life, in my opinion is still a great thing :good:
