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

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

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?
Guys,
I have a Xperia LT15i with Locked Bootloader which is rooted and currently on .42 firmware.
With the new official Sony ICS update release, i'd want to move to stock ICS with latest firmware, can anyone please guide me how do i do it ??
Do I update using PC Companion or can it be done OTA ?
Also, once i update to stock firmware and stock ICS, is it still possible to root my device and keep the bootloader locked ???
I need the right advice, i am scared and dont want to end up with a bricked device...PLEASE HELPP
EDIT: I know there are lot of threads on the forum, but I am not an expert and scared to cater to this update and lose my beloved phone ...
if some one can just guide me with a step by step process, it will help a lot, it's a sincere request..!!
First of all, you can indeed upgrade!
ICS is not available through OTA, so you should go only by PCC for now.. But check if PCC shows that the update is available, because the update is available for only selective SI nos (to check your SI no remove your batrery and look in the sticker below the battery on your phone).. If PCC shows the update, then no problem!
If not, try downloading the ICS ftf file and flash using flashtool..
And for your last question, yes you can indeed root with a locked bootloader.. I'll post you the link below

Yes you can update it...... But you will lose root.
I need to clear some thing for you, rooting does not give you access to download apps free from Google Play. So you should remember that also. I am saying this because you said so-

Oh and please don't post links to cracked apps or wares sites. Mods are very strict about this. If you are unhappy with stock ICS, just go to the development section and check out some custom ROMs. And please be patient - JB is coming in May.

For that, you have to flash a pre rooted rom using flash tool.... If you are planning on upgrading to ICS firmware, no need of flashing pre - rooted rom.. Every ICS firmware on Xperia S can be rooted easily (1 minute work).. So update you phone using PC companion or flashtool and then root it...

Root is completely different from jailbreak...
There is no jailbreak for Android...
In Android JB means 'Jelly Bean' aka android 4.1

Framaroot took 3-4 times (instead of 1-2) but it does work. How many times did you try?
This message was brought to you from my Sony Xperia M C1905 using Tapatalk.
Framaroot worked for me from the first time after update.
Framaroot Alternate and a better one

Rooting will have not affect your OTA updates.. However the unlocking the bootloader will !!
hii everyone
as you know kitkat Update(4.4.2) has started for our device
So users with locked bootloaders only
as soon as you get pc companion update
download it and message to convert it into an ftf
Try using SEUS Tool to get new update

Install it and connect phone by switching the phone off and keep the down button pressed as u insert usb
This experiment will let us know the latest firmware on sony's server

Hello, I have rooted my T2 ultra, using vroot, amd hence my bootloader is locked. I did this to enjoy a few of the rooting privileges like using Titanium Backup and few others.
Now in order to download and install the new Kitkat update, once its released, do i have to unroot my phone or can directly attempt to update without unrooting.
Please advise.
