yes you'll find it on the experia blog,

Don't worry, my firmware downloading tool is almost ready. Any Sony's software will be a memory of the past.

I am not worried, I have never used it and I wont miss it.

PC Companion + Flashtool are enough.

I have good memories with Ex. SEUS, i will miss it a lot.
Nothing can replace sus, it's iconic.

Pccompanion was always better. In S(E)US you could only download the files with a locked bootloader, at least with pccompanion it allows you to download the files then stops at the installation part with an unlocked bootloader. This lets you make the FTF file and flash it anyway. So much easier.....

When I was using SEUS pc companion didn't exist.
SEUS have sentimental worth, you cannot understand that if you didn't use Sony Ericsson in last 6-7 years

The same way you do from SUS
Like this

If you don't find the files you need there, then just do a search of your C drive for a folder called blob_fs, they will be in there

Ever heard of NaviFirm for Nokia devices? I'm making one for Sony & Sony-Ericsson Android-based devices. Lets you download older versions also, by the way.
Catch my drift?

You may want to have a look here

It not only checks every firmware for the latest version but has a database of FTF's for downloading
It may be worth speaking to the OP of that thread to see if your projects overlap or if you could help each other

My program doesn't need anything from the users, it gets the official FILE_* from Sony's Update servers. You can create any FTF you want with them. I've got some private complementary programs that search for new CDFs and new releases automatically. The CDA numbers will be stored on my own servers along with Release information (because Sony removes old releases from the update, but the actual files are still on the server, which means any release before I started to build this program are probably gone forever).

Hey,
It was not meant negatively, just a heads up, I just though it may help you or them in furthering your project

Did I sound negative? Sorry, too much House MD hah.
I was just pointing out that our programs use different approaches. I do the updating manually using my own automatic tools.
That guys actually relies on the community to provide ready-to-use FTFs hosted on public sharing sites.

OK, no worries

Arc stockROM

Might be premature but can someone say if the Xperia Arc Rom, being 2.3 will be compatible with the X10? Some apps are bound to work.. Looking like a good Gingerbread phone and potential ROM solution for the X10

Hi,
As stated in the title I've got a SE Xperia Arc here. It's obvious you guys want the software on this thing. I can dump it, if someone can provide instructions. I am familiar with ADB, command line usage etc.

Yea, good luck with that one.
Two months ago I've just accepted the fact that my X8 is a garbage and I have to buy a better phone in case I want something done.
X8 is a entry level phone, sad but true :\
There is nothing wrong with X8. It is a great phone for its price.

Amazing value. SE really make great hardware. The software is clear and clever also, very modern architecture.
Only thing letting this highly impressive stack of accolades is this drm on the bootloader. This will not effect most daily users, they won't even notice I'm a Dev... I unfortunately do though :-(

I like to know that to. I have LT15a generic user world rom which I thought it will help some people to use this.
Any help would be nice. I did the update with SEUS and the files are in the folder but don't know how I can decrypt them as didn't work with Flash Tool.
Thanks
I never did it but logically:
USB debugging ON
plug the Arc to the PC and don't bother change the ''connect'' feature.
Open DOS window in the SDK tool folder where the adb executable is, then:
ADB devices
ADB pull *.* /system
ADB pull *.* /data
It should copy all your system and data files to the adb folder in your PC
Ok. Thank you.
Last two questions before I make a dump of my LT15i. Do I have to do it on a unix system or there is no matter if I do it on a windows ?
Do I have to reset my phone before the dump to have a clean filesystem dump ?
ps : the two commands give me the same results for the contents of the directory /system and /data on my computer.
You can use windows of course!
It would have been lot easier if we had recovery on Arc, you just have to nand backup and voila! but we still don't have root
OK. So here is my dump
Device : LT15i
Bootloader : unlocked
Phone software version : 1241-4324_3.0.A.2.181 GENERIC - user
File System Version : WORLD-1-8_3.0.A.2.181

[Q]Black Screen (Freeze)

Hi everyone.
I got this phone on my birthday 4 months ago.
Over this time, i did everything but mess around with roms.
I installed xrecovery a few weeks ago.
And now i got this black screen (if you haven't seen it, it's that screen with the Sony Ericsson printed without the green circle).
And I must point out that i forgot to install the PC Companion before that happened.
So, now it's just stuck, idk what to do,I tried the flash mode but it says the driver can't be installed.
Any help,tips?
P.S. Please give me a link with the 2.1 version if possible, i don't know where to get the right one (for the X8)
I really didn't hope that my first post would be this, but that's how it turned out.
Hi, DON'T WORRY IT'S ALL RIGHT. EVERYTHING WILL BE OK
Just go to the Se official Website and download X8 Pc driver,
if you can see the white SONY ERICSSON when you boot, everything will be ok.
now, follow these steps.
a. Download x8 PC driver on their official website. Google SE... and you will find that page.
b. Install and open it.
c. Click SUPPORT ZONE, and click UPDATE SERVICE.
d. Click REPAIR PHONE
e. Follow Update Service's giving tips and you will fix it.
The first boot may takes you about five minutes. Don't take down the battery. Or you will be crazy...
You can fix your phone with US without turning on your phone, enjoy
thank you sooooooooo much <3 idk how to repay you for that
i didn't even see the REPAIR PHONE link before.
^^ i'm so darn happy my phone's back.
Wellcome to the club boy!!!!!!!!
Are you ready to do it again?
hahahahaha
P.S.: The whole "Generall" section is filled with the same topics...
Thanks, but now, the software won't download at all.
As we speak, i constantly get this:
Unable to download your phone software.
Please check your internet connection or try again later.
and my internet connection doesn't lose itself at all

Umm, try re-installing pc companion. Before i tried flashing all this custom stuff on my phone, me, being a curious idiot, played around with the x8 and dicovered SE had already put pc companion in my phone, all i had to do was install it in the autorun menu. Also, try rebooting yr modem. It may be a long shot but hey, you'd never know...

[SOLVED] Accidentaly bricked my ARC S

So i was forced to upgrade it to 4.0.2.A.0.62. But not having the ability to root .62 is not making me happy.
So..
Where can i download the official .42 firmware so i can root my phone again?
Thanks
so how exactly is it bricked?
And just search on the forums or use wotanserver
Type in the firmware name in Google and you'll find it.

Search the developement section, there are some threads.
And you could also flash the .42 firmware from CM7 thread.
Btw, you also accidentally posted in the wrong section.

None of the firmwares are hard to find, it's certainly easier than getting yourself uptight mate.

thanks guys to inform us about new FW and change-log !! so , it's not woth to flash
As I have written earlier in the other thread, we shouldn't get our hopes up. This new fw should only fix timescape, and is a pretty useless upgrade imo... Screw Sony
