[Q] update to ICS stock - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi. I bought ARC S LT18i from hong kong . it is using android 2.3.4 build number 4.0.2.A.0.62. I want to update to ICS .
(it is unlock without carier)
as I see on www.sonymobile.com
Latest available software: 4.1.B.0.587
Release date: 2012-08-16
but PC companion and update service says that I have lastest software.
when I try to software repair with PC companion. it says that doesnt have software for my phone
I want to update without flashtools using only sony's soft.
can someone help?

If the PC Companion says that you have the latest update then you have no other way to use Flashtools and flash an ICS ftf to update the Phone.
And there's nothing wrong to update the phone using flashtools.

You can use SEUS to update although it would wipe your data.

If you have an unlocked bootloader please research before you update! I know ota updates will brick phones with unlocked bootloaders, im not sure about ones from pc companion.

The pc companion shows new update but won't allow the user to actually upgrade with a unlocked bootloader.

[Q] Help needed to update Xperia Ion LT28H

I am trying to update my xperia ion to version 3.7 from 2.68. But its not happening. I tried with pc companion as well as OTA. Both say that phone has the latest version of firmware. I tried to perform repair via pc companion but it re-installed same version of firmware 2.68. Also my phone heats up quickly while browsing internet on 3G and battery gets drained quickly.
I checked with Sony service station and they are ready to replace my phone as i am facing heating and battery issue. But before replacing the phone i would like to check if issue has been solved in firmware version 3.7. I am concerned about flashing phone directly as it might void the warranty.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
AW: [Q] Help needed to update Xperia Ion LT28H
Unlocking bootloader may void warrenty. For flashing Sonys stock rom u dont need to unlock.. Just flash with flashtool. But before, u could try to update with Sony update Service.

so you unrooted and flash with flashtool,and the effect is not booting up?Is there any LED light when you try to turn the phone up???The problem flashing with Xperia Companion or PC Companion is that the phone has to be booted up.
EDIT:I saw somewhere here on xda forum that xperia companion might work if your bootloader is still locked.
