Guys I have never flashed a rom before so need some help.. Can someone tell me what is part 1,2 and 3? Because other roms just have one link.. I'm not sure which one to download and what to do..
[Xperia Arc General] r6680jc:
the rar file are split into three parts due to mediafire single file size limit.

download all parts, don't rename them, put them into one folder, open the part1, extract, then you'll get one ftf file.

I have tried this update on my arc,it's faster,but still sucks,so i have returned to GB.GB still rocks,some games doesn't work on ICS,on GB works everything.If they don't fix ICS to run like GB i'll stick to GB.UI isn't good like on ICS but GB is fast stable and runs all games.

Sry for my english.
[Xperia Arc General] r6680jc:
that isn't Sony's fault, some games don't run well on ICS.

is it supposed to say 4.1.B.0.587
[Xperia Arc General] r6680jc:
What about reflashing it one more time?

well maybe that i need to do but iam so bored now to reflashing and put the apps again....

will i have any problem if i leave it like this ?
[Xperia Arc General] r6680jc:
I believe there will be no problem.

It just doesn't look right, it looks like the system.sin you've flashed is from .431

Or may be you did something to build.prop?
[Xperia Arc General] spideras:
i only put the kernel as i say above and change the systemUI from this post...for the battery and the status bar

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31750468&postcount=206

i havent change anything else
[Xperia Arc General] r6680jc:
Okay then, to make sure your Arc now on .587 fw:

Change the network mode to gsm only, then restart your device, and then check the network mode after restart, if it reset to wcdma/gsm, then it's on .587 for sure.

btw, what about the baseband version? is it -77?
[Xperia Arc General] spideras:
iam reflashing i get annoying with this... yes the bb was 77 if i remember correct
[Xperia Arc General] r6680jc:
Okay, please let me know the result after reflashing, changing kernel, and replacing system ui.

I'm curious to know.

Now its everything ok... i really dont know wtf happend before...maybe my phone stuck for a while or something like that i really dont know
[Xperia Arc General] r6680jc:

is unlocked or what ? now i`am confused... :(

Your bootloader is unlocked.

3 parts??

why are there 3parts??
[Xperia Arc General] gork1975:
Hi.

That is from the Sony Homepage and so my Phone tells me after updating to 4.1.B.0.587

Update your software to benefit from:

Quick dial allows you to quickly find the number you are looking for

Recent Apps button for clear overview of your applications

Quick responses for incoming calls

Optimized email application for multiple accounts

Improved control of your mobile data consumption

For me the "Contacts" now starts faster. Before update it needs 3-4 seconds to start. The LED for SMS doesn´t work. The whole system feels "snappier" for me.

I flash the ftf file with flashtools, did NOT wipe data and NOT wipe cache, after updating and restart let the phone settle down for maybe 10 minutes, then i used the rooting method like before (flash another Kernel, root with Doomlord´s tool and flash back the other kernel) to get root again. Voila. Now everything works fine.

Greets,

Marco

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

Hi.

Download all of them, put them in the same Folder, then use 7zip and extract the first one. 7zip will put them all together to the needed .ftf file.

[Xperia Arc General] masterjet:
those are improvements from previous firmware .431
[Xperia Arc General] Nath316:
My thoughts exactly
[Xperia Arc General] Candy[MAN]:
Also noticed that this new baseband 77 is quick at grabbing signal.

Prior to this baseband, whenever I rebooted the phone and got to the unlock screen, my status would go from:

No Service --> No SIM Emergency Call Only --> Rogers

It would take about 5 seconds to get to my carriers name (Rogers).

Now with baseband 77, it goes from:

No Service --> Rogers

in about 2 seconds.

Nice improvement.

Found something else but I am not too sure if this also was present in the .431 firmware.

From the lock screen, press the camera button (on side of phone). In this firmware, it auto launches the camera app from the lock screen (pretty quickly might I add). Did this work on .431?

Sony has definitely corrected the lag compared to .431. I do not see any lag in the stock launcher any more (I haven't even removed the bloatware yet). I wanted to try it out AS IS and I am actually impressed with the lack of lag.

Once I remove the bloat, it will definitely fly.

That's probably the best update ever... Sony will probably say that the led bug is just a feature. I cannot believe that some users of the forum fixed the led bug with a flashable package and that Sony cannot do it... That's strange because each gingerbread release was full of new features.

I'm now using cm9, made with devs working for "free" and everything is working, even the led...
