[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] warface:
No joy with any of the numbers above.

I am running the leaked firmware that Doomlord provided, not a stock ICS rom, so maybe that's it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] algates:
I think it's for ION and not for S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RHBH:
No, according to Sony twitter before XP JB and Sony Blog when XP JB was released, Xperia's S/SL/acro S/ion will get JB together, the update was always announced together for these phones it's unlikely that Sony changed it's mind in the last second (S, SL, acro S got the update certified early may so according this logical they should got the update long ago).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] omaretman:
not working! :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
Which lines do you need to change exactly? Also, I doubt it will work if you have the leak installed as devices with unlocked BL cannot update by Sony PCC.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] warface:
I think the bolded bit is more the problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
Build.prop hacks won't work... U will need correct entries in default.prop which is in kernel ramdisk for this to work... In short just flash kernel.sin from stock FW of that region...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
I haven't unlocked my BL. Anyway, even if the codes OP provided won't work, soon enough someone will get the update and knowing how to change these numbers properly would be useful. I changed that value in 3 places in build prop: ro.build.fingerprint , ro.product.name and ro.semc.version.cust

Edit:

DooMLoRD has spoken. Guess I'll just wait for someone kind enough to provide the ftf then.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fredericcollinss:
I think somebody better upload the ftf file for flashing, it is the best and the easiest way to update
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kornezije:
So if i understand this correctly, all we have to do is flash france stock ics kernel to update?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
Yes, but this kernel must be from France region where they already have JB. We just must know which region get JB.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kornezije:
Anyone has this? I searched but didnt find france specific...only nordic,belgium,netherlands,germany...funny, all countries arround france,but no france...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
Found this with google. Mediafire link works.

Damn...i forgot all about google...what a mistake...tnx.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
Now just flash kernel and update. Then someone who updated phone should make ftf.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
Installed the full french rom and tried PCC again, got notification for .55 update, no JB yet.

It implies that there is new f/w for ion.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
It's ONLY Twitter. Official announcement you will see on Sony Blog. Sony Poland said that Jelly Bean will be in March, and? We will get Jelly Bean in end of May. We must wait 1-2 weeks for announcement. Them we can start discussion again. But now it's not worth time to discuss about something what don't exist. It's like discussing about KLP for Xperia S which will be never given for SXS.

There is that little line:

No wonder everybody get hyped because it's end of May. And if we wait 2 weeks it will be June.

Acro S is getting JB. He's trolling.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chxrlyglez:
In official Sony's blog nothing has been posted.

I think when the update will be available, they will post the information there, same as the others phones.

We need to wait a little more.

Seriously, Sony has too many phones, if they have just release a few great phones, and focus on the same few great phones, even "mid-range" phones would feel great because of software optimisation.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MADNJPN:
Yea totally agree with that, they relase new phones almost twice a month, in 2011 they did a trick to me, I bought XPERIA ARC and a week later they announced ARC S and that really was a shock! same with Xperia S and SL, what if just create one SUPER phone and leave it for a while... SONY Disappoints me
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ambroos:
Non-argument. Arc was released in March, Arc S in September, and they were pretty much exactly the same.

This year they have very few platforms on the market, actually. The Z, ZL, ZR and Tablet Z are all pretty much the same phone. The SP runs on pretty much the same platform as the Xperia T, TL, TX and V with the GPU from the Z series. The L is the only newcomer, and even that wouldn't take much work since it's still just a Qualcomm Krait device.

The amount of devices really isn't a problem. What caused the delay for the Xperia S is Qualcomm. They have been incredibly slow in supplying the right Jelly Bean drivers for the dualcore Snapdragon S3. Instead of waiting around Sony did the logical thing and started working on updates for other devices while waiting for Qualcomm. The Snapdragon S3 was a transition chip, there were very few models and they were sold in very small amounts compared to the Snapdragon S4.

So please, please stop complaining about how Sony should stop releasing new devices. There is absolutely nothing wrong with their update policy. I should perhaps remind you that Sony is still the industry leader in the Android handset field when it comes to updates. They have a clear version numbering system, almost all handsets get at least one major Android update and they actually add functionality with every update. I've said it before but you do remember that when you got your Xperia S it didn't come with the Album app (and many others), for example? You got a ton of extra functionality completely for free with the ICS update. They didn't have to do that. And now with the update to Jelly Bean you'll basically have a brand new phone again, with an updated theme, greatly updated media apps, more new features, ...

All those small things and improvements take time, but they are very much worth it. Imagine if Sony had updated your phone to Jelly Bean but left all their own apps exactly like they were on ICS? Would you be happy then? Then you'd get what from the update, Google Now and a slightly faster experience? Not very interesting, right?

So finally, please, stop complaining about things you have no reason to complain about. Stop hating on Sony for being 'late' when in fact they never delayed the update and always sticked with "end of May" (which is probably next week). Grow up and just wait.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cornel.atomei:
This guy is on Sony's payroll :)) Just kiddin'. But all jokes aside, he's absolutely right, Sony is not entirely to blame here. Qualcomm really had trouble in releasing drivers for S3 platform, aaand he's right again about the new apps and functionalities that Sony adds to the mix.I still think that they lack organisation and their blog web site should be more accurate, and they'll better deliver with this JB update. But no biggie, i think in a week time we'll have the first updates, so XDA genius dudes will have oficial builds ready for us to download in no time. No point in waiting for OTA push. Just have pacience and enjoy your phone as it is, it's a nice piece of hardware with android 4.0.4 also...

Now you go thru my posts in that thread and guide me how you would have recovered after my trials i mentioned in my posts....:p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
Flashtool doesn't need to recognize the phone to flash it.

Just don't connect the phone, then open flashtool.

Then start a flash-mode flash and select your stock.ftf, then start the flash.

When the files are processed, flashtool will ask for a phone in flash-mode.

Now connect usb while holding the volume down button.

You should get a green led and flashing should start.

If you have other issues with recovering from soft brick, then use the recovery thread found in the sticky'ed "index roll-up thread" in general section. Or the link in my signature :D

From my Xperia LT28at ION :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MADNJPN:
I totally agree with you, and my position was not correct I'm sorry for that, as for me, I don't care much about these new updates, I don't have problems with ICS, it is just SONY's politics that make you buy their product. I'm one of those SONY fans and for me SONY always meant quality, design and functionality, never had problems with it, even know when I wanted to get rid of my Xperia S I still want to get SONY product, AGAIN! Not htc, not samsung , Nokia or LG , because SONY's products inspire us.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
If there weren't some pretty big issues with the current ICS firmware, I'd be inclined to agree with you. I do like me some Sony products, I believe their designs are second to none, but there's still a lot of room for improvement in other areas.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MADNJPN:
yea there are some issues with ICS unfortunately
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] newdon07:
ok ok brother....as i said already, i may be wrong!! thnx 4 educating me!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Like? Everything works fine. Though I do get a little WiFi dropping (which was solved by changing my router's channel to 6).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mehdicvl:
What do u think?

Wifi problem fo my region in JB

The problem is it never connect to any wifi modem, router, devices and so on! never!

Although Xperia Z, T ,V and also P (which recieved JB later) does not have the Wifi problem after upgrading to JB.

by changing the mobile provider the problem can be temporarily solved (or in airplane mode) but you know... it's annoying!

so... What do you think?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Rangeeshnathan:
I've heard that this jellybean update is our last

I've heard that s2 seems to be getting jellybean 4.2

Can someone confirm the rumours
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mehdicvl:
It's not confirmed, but there r a lot of rumors...!

I'm not sure, but I think this unacceptable behavior and delays... could be the best convincing reason that sony won't update our smartphone!

It's a shame!

All companies support their devices at least for 2 years, but sony...

make.believe! :|
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] juliantje15:
it would be a shame if 4.2.x isn´t officialy comming to the sony xperia s..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Rangeeshnathan:
I believe sony agreed for 1 year only
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] uber_cool:
when are we gona get the real jb for xperia s?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Most likely we won't get 4.2.x because Qualcomm never made the drivers for our SoC, it's not really Sony that is dropping support, but because the SoC was already a year old when Xperia S came out, Qualcomm is dropping it. They're focusing on their Krait cores.

There's no official date, best information we have is "from the end of May". You can interpret that however you want, some people want to believe that means it will release before the end of this month, but I think it means just the opposite. From the end of May just means, "don't expect it this month". They could release it in July or August and that would still be right. So no idea when it will be, we'll just have to wait and see. In the mean-time, the leaks are pretty good.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] josephnero:
No.samsung clearly announced 4.1.2 is the last update for s2 and original note
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RHBH:
I vote for Sony skip the 4.2 and go directly to 4.3 for XS, SL, acro S and ion only then EOL our devices!

Even XT, TX, TL, V won't get 4.2 and will update to 4.3 directly, only 2013 phones will have 4.2.

I paid the price of a premium phone, that's why I say that Sony should update our phones twice, If you go back and analyse, XS JB is the FIRST update for XS, why? Our phone came with GB when it should be ICS, so ICS update wasn't an "update" but an obligation.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mehdicvl:
Where to vote?

Good. Is there any website to vote or petition or sth? Or I didn't get what you mean?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] muzza1986:
Can't see that happening tbh. Sony have taken a year for this jellybean update and god knows how long it will take for another update. With the phone now getting older a lot of people will upgrade due to the end of their contracts therefore Sony will probably see it as a waste of time. With the updates being slow behind other phones e.g. Samsung not a lot of people will stick around.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] grgana:
Yep the trick is to launch a GB device, when ICS is all ready present for quite some time, then upgrade to ICS, a year later JB and they can say ... hey we gave you 3 big OS updates...they could launch XS with froyo...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
You can always blame Sony for everything. Qualcomm plans to abandon SnapDragon S3 CPU after 4.1. Even if Sony wants to update to 4.2 is will be very hard. It's not Sony fault.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] electrash:
It is, they could use S4 back then (they use S4pro now when Snapdragon 400/600/800) is out :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] element800:
When you bought the device you knew that there was a S3 processor in it and you knew that is was running GB.

So don't blame Sony, you bought it!

And about the updates, it's better to have a good update which releases a month later than having an early update that has a lot of bugs.

Yes, sony took a long time about this update. But I'm runnning the leak now and all I can tell you is that it is amazing.

Feels like a new phone in my opinion.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
That kid need some spanking. So obvious he's anti Sony. With diapers saying "Done with Xperia" edit:(he removed it alrd), it is best we ignore trolls. This thread is about 4.1 rumours not about kids' play.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
The 400/600/800 was out after they released the device. They probably had no time to do put the newer processor and keep their release schedule and develop the full fw with the new processor.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
OT: Before you throw it. I tell me. I will pay the shipping cost.

Reminder: This thread is to discuss about Jelly Bean 4.1 and rumours about the future. It is really weird that I may need to report my own thread because of people who lack basic understanding of English. I don't require too much brain power, but rants against Sony is banned here. Anyways, I played with 6.2.B.0.204 for a few days. Other than some irritating scrolling lag, I haven't had homescreen redraws and wifi dropping. Overall, the wait is really worth it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Then you're acting like a child that wants what you want at the exact moment you want. Have you actually read anything? A) Sony Brazil (one of most late to the parties) said the rollout will start UNTIL (not after) June 15th. B) I'm running the LEAK. 197 JB and I must say it runs PERFECTLY, performance wise. Couple of bugs here in there, but really minor ones. Couple it with Greenify and it becomes a new phone. It has am AMAZING performance for an LEAK version. Yesterday we got the. 200 version. Users are reporting an huge improvement in smoothness over .197, and it already has a HUGE performance increase over JB.

I know they messed up bad, but I'd rather wait for such awesome update than getting an unpolished rushed one.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lewis021:
LOL, dont overreact. Im not literally throwing it away. Someone is trading an S3 for my phone(XAS). So that means Im upgrading. Who the hell would throw away a good phone? ;)

I just have bad experience in last 3 years with sony (i had lot of their phones which i cant even remember).

I love my xperia s except 2 thing:

1. Bad night pictures and autofocus

2. Buggy and slow ICS build without bugfix.

They made me mad, we didnt receive single bug fix for ICS.

Also im not the kid like you, to jump on every post which is "fanboy" like or "anti sony".

Chill out man, its just a phone, and its just a sony, they didnt hire you to defend them, and nobody hire someone to say something against them.
