[Q] Install ICS 4.0 on Arc S

Hi there, my name is Bruno and i´m from Portugal, i was wondering if someone could help me with the procedure of installing the official ROM of ICS 4.0 on my Arc S, Portugal has not yet received the update, the Portuguese community is installing the "Generic Trade Nordic (2.3.4) via Wotanserver and then follow the normal update (via cellphone) to ICS. The problem is that Wotanserver is charging for the procedure, does anybody know any other way to update with other clients....
Thanks in advance
Bruno

Yes, and go to the general section and read the stickys before starting threads asking for what's been posted numerous times. Just because you're a noob doesn't mean you can't read.

First: Wrong Section. this is Xperia S, not Arc S section.
Second: Don't post anything on dev section if you're not a dev.
