Greetings , I urgently require some help frm someone who knws something, I have got my arc replaced by SE after the 0% battery problem and the firmware is 2.3.3(4.0.1.A.0.283) my question is do u know for sure if there has been an OTA release for 2.3.4(4.0.A.2.368) for India. If it has been released then my neither SEUS nor OTA is showing, and also if anyone knows for sure if there is a link on this forum can someone guide me to it. I have searched but couldn't come up with it Thank u all in advance
P.S: I have a locked bootloader

I'm from India too..I got the update via OTA 2 days before..I think not every device get it at the same time..just wait for the OTA that can be released for your mobile too.If you cant wait Flash the 2.3.4 generic using flashtool..Hope it helps..

AFAIK the update is not for a particular device but for a particular region, so if they have released for India then all devices here running the generic firmware that came with the phone would be getting the OTA notification...I wonder how did u get it? Did u flash another firmware after u purchased the arc or did u have the generic one that came installed on the phone?

Seeing I have some important data that I don't want erased ( and I'm too lazy to back it up ), I'll pass on this update until other users report exactly what's in it.
And as for you who got .146, another user already uploaded rooted img, be sure to thank him.

[Q] Flash 2.3.2 Global>Root>OTA update?

Hello,
Has anyone tried to flash 2.3.2 global, root it, and is OTA available for 2.3.4?
Anyone taught of that?
I haven't tried yet cause is there any app to backup phone settings and phone memory? from SE?
I CONFIRM THIS WORKS + ROOT REMAIN
Regards
AFAIK, no OTA available yet for 2.3.4...
+ OTA for the update before this was only for HK and UK ( and Germany if i'm not mistaken ), no world generic or other region... so we might guess that the OTA 2.3.4 will take too much time to go for the firmware version of choice...
some guys already converted to HK version as it's the fastest one to update...
I had the Germany version and till yesterday evening there was no OTA update...
but now the phone is not working after upgrading to 2.3.4 and than downgrading back to 2.3.2 global and rooting it
I have seen a lot of people including myself had their phone ****ed up by downgrading 2.3.4 to 2.3.2 and root. I suggest you to wait till there is a solution for this problem.

I am tired of flashing my phone back and forth and getting really frustrated. So I went to SE, told them the phone was dead and play dumb. They gave me back the phone with a new motherboard. Now I am using 2.3.3 4.0.A.2.368 HK ROM
From 2.3.4 to 2.3.2/2.3.3, try this:
There is no problem with UK.184 -> Root and OTA to .368 (no need remove battery even).
Also no problem if I want 2.3.4 again, then I flash Nordic_Telia branded.238
-Tried two times already, cause I couldn't decied which one I wanted.
Hope it helps

Yes, it is available now OTA with Root (happy), but I want to argue about people calling it Generic_World firmware all the time here on xda, it is Nordic!
There is no World region firmware as far as I know?
well I flashed back to 2.3.2, rooted, and now I want to OTA, and can't connect to download ! says : impossible to download now, try later.
I don't know whats the problem now.
also the ota update is only 44mb.

Yes, same here, too many people trying and server is getting sad.

But now happy rooted 2.3.4 with locked bootloader.
Ps. Please stop calling it Generic_World though!

Which Method Is best For 4.3 JB Updation/ U have Any Problem Faced after Updation??

Im using XPERIA M DUAL and i have some doubts.....
My Mobile Is Rooted One...
Still shall i able to recieved 4.3 Update from sony????
If yes, after updating 4.3, my mobile is to be rooted condition or not???
********************************************* solved ***************************************************************
Thanks frendz...

i've know that there is two method to update a phone software officially,
One is FTOA another one is through PC Companion...
I asked you frendz which method is best? bcoz both the two method has varying in data sizes, why this variation..
Tell me ur suggestion...

i've heared from sonymobile forum that 4.3 update has lot of bugs.
is it true...??
Give your feedback about 4.3 Jb in m dual....
Pls Reply me Experts.....
Update your phone through pc companion if u did not receive the OTA. Or if that doesn't help, you can download the FTF for the firmware you want and flash it through flashtool. And no, you don't need to be rooted to use flashtool and update
Press Thanks If I Helped!!

You can update to 4.3 root is no matter
After updating to 4.3 you will lose your root access. So once again you need to root with different methods (see in general section) for that you need to unlock bootloader/4.3 ftf file
Sent from my C2004 using XDA Free mobile app
Nope you won't get official update from SONY ( If you are in India).But you can flash 4.3 FTF file
Are you from India?
then you couldn't update officially, as "xdasenior' said (as I do)
you could download FTF of 2005 & flash with flash tool
all of these are available in our forum itself.
for rooting, you had to download both older & newer firmware (4.2 and 4.3)
then use niki root

Both pc companion and FOTA are for updating, dont worry about the size, they will both get you 4.3.
Yes 4.3 does have quite a few bugs, but they have all been fixed. Go to the stickied thread in the general section by @ansebovi and you will see the solutions to the bugs

NUT stated that if it is an incremental update that he would make a flashable so look to something from him when it is available. Also, tft is a type of transistor, .ftf is a Flash Tool File, I keep seeing .tft used incorrectly.
