Official W8i/E16i firmware, flashable via FlashTool.
Original post is here.
Also, xRecovery backup is here.
Will be uploaded soon to Mediafire as FTF file.
If you have X8a phone, take X8a 015 baseband and flash it after flashing W8 FW.
Best regards
Can you post some screenshots and can you tell us the main differences between our X8 stock ROM?
Will it all work with no problems/glitchs/bugs?
And what are the languages available in the ROM?
Thank you
I don't want to say something but this is spam there is treadh and please this rom is unusable where are Google apps I try this Tom before anyone post and it is not worth of using especially Chinese version

If that's the only difference, there's no use in installing this ROM, since we can port the app to our X8...

No, generally it's horrible due to Chinese version, and only differences are in look. No added functionality.
Maybe, just maybe sound quality is a little bit better.
No Google Apps, not even Market -.- and I have problems with upload to Mediafire.
W8 = Modded X8 with walkman inscription on it, and a modded original music app, and changed backround....so...IT SUCKS, they just repainted an X8 and put modded firmware on it...SE, Shame on you

It's exacly same like X8. SE even not change kernel, so no chance.
So, SE just change framework a little bit, and sell X8 as walkman phone.
come on SE,, you can do better then that..
look here. the fw for w8 is the same as x8's. se unofficially admited that w8 is only repainted x8

DuDe, NOBODY was buying X8 anymore, so they had Lots of X8's left...One SE Dev came to the others and said: DUDE, We have so much X8's left and nobody ain't stupid to buy one now, lets change O/S a bit, repaint it and sell it under another name!
I bet the other SE employees were like: Hell yeah, let's do this!

You are referring to an official release from Sony?
That's what they say:
If you’ve got a 2011 model, however, here’s the schedule for the phased rollout: starting in late March, the Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray will get their skinned Android 4.0 goodness, while owners of the Xperia arc, Xperia PLAY, Xperia neo, Xperia mini and mini pro, Xperia pro and Xperia active will have to wait a month longer till late April.

If you are referring to any release: There are already very good working ROMs here on xda. Games, HDMI, front and backcamera working. And of course WLAN, GPS, UMTS and so on:

Hello everyone. We’d like to bring you up to speed with recent developments in our Android 4.0 software rollout.
First up, the rollout plans for the Xperia NXT series (Xperia S, Xperia P and Xperia U) are progressing as planned. The first smartphone to be upgraded will be Xperia S, starting from the end of June. Then Xperia P will follow, whilst Xperia U will receive it a little later in Q3. As always we will keep you in the loop with the latest info as soon as we can.
For our 2011 range, as you know, we began our Ice Cream Sandwich software upgrade with Xperia arc S, Xperia ray and Xperia neo V last month.
Now, we are happy to confirm that the remaining 2011 smartphones; Xperia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman will start to receive their updates starting from next week.
This software upgrade will be Android version 4.0.4 and the good news is that this latest version will also be made available for Xperia arc S, Xperia ray and Xperia neo V users, who received Android 4.0.3 the first time around.
In regards to Xperia PLAY, after extensive in house testing with our developer teams and working with our partners, we have concluded that a consistent and stable experience, particularly with gaming, cannot be guaranteed for this smartphone on Ice Cream Sandwich – therefore, we will not make the Android 4.0 upgrade available for Xperia PLAY.
This decision was also verified when we received similar feedback from the developer community; both experienced developers and advanced users, along with game content providers following our ICS beta ROM for unlocked Xperia PLAY smartphones.
Our priority has and always will be, to provide the best possible user experience on Xperia smartphones. In this instance the ICS upgrade would have compromised stability, where we look to ensure a quality gaming experience with games optimized and developed for Xperia PLAY.
As always, feel free to drop us a comment or question below.

There is not said, that update is released to all devices to all regions during this week. The whole update project to named devices begins this week and lasts until they have done everything for devices receiving the update.
The whole team is in progress of uploading thousands of firmwares and now they also occured server problems probably due to massive uploading and downloading. It all takes long time.
And yes, they said end May/early June. It begon end May. They started like they said, what's the problem?
Now please, calm down, be a bit patient and stop spamming the topic. I know you are all excited and so impatient, but please, that's not a reason to spam. Go outside, have some fun, it is pointless to wait hours behind computer, waiting for the update, finally going to sleep without it. You can't miss the update, it will be available for long time.
When a update comes, then it will be announced/posted, I will update this topic when I see something new, on Sony forums the SI lists are updated when new firmwares are available etc.

Honestly I can't tell you what it brings but, if Sony is giving it to us, it might be stable. The latest version released was 3.4.0, so I think 3.0.8 might be far from stable by now. Dunno why kamarush says it is unstable, should we ask him?

uhh guys 4.1.A.0.562 was certified for arc s on 30 mar and released around mid april....... certificate for wt19i is still not certified ... how can they release it next week then ??
http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=20152
Is that a rule? I mean, the fw could be ready for mass distribution and just waiting for certification... Maybe that site is delayed? Because if Sony will actually release fw for ALL 2011 phones, they might have tons of work to certify everthing.
Just my 2 cents, though.

hmmm ya maybe....
I wonder after we upgrade to ics, we will lose root or not?
Btw, when ics came, I'm waiting for someone to taste it first. If one complains due to slow performance and such, id rather not upgrading but we'll see

I like these phone ... what u think about these ;
Sony Xperia S
Sony Xperia SL
Sony Xperia Sp
Sony Xperia T
Sony Xperia Tx
Xperia V, Xperia SP and Xperia L are good dual core phones with awesome rom support and superb pricing. Xperia L is the cheapest clocking 1 GhZ dual core, Xperia V clocks 1.5 GhZ dual core and Xperia SP clocks 1.7 GhZ dual core. I would prefer Xperia V because my friend owns one and he plays all sorts of games on his Xperia V from Pokemon Black to GTA to PSP Games and I observed that its real smooth!
EDIT: Just saw your 2nd post LOL but please take in my suggestions

Laggy? The XP is not laggy with Honami MoonWalker
As I said if your budget is tight, since you are a student, get Xperia L. If you can expand your budget a little bit more, you can go for Xperia V its camera is good and performance is for the everyday user. Not much lags at all.

For me, Xperia L. If i have more money, xperia V. Or i buy a secondhand sony 2013 model, not too old so there should be okay and less problem. But i think i'll wait and collect more money for Z1s, small but powerfull
Thanks all of you
but if i buy Xperia Sp
Will i will face problem with SD Card mounting etc becoz i am using 16GB as internal and that Sp i will only use 5Gb and rest from SD Card there is a difference b/w apps run from internal Memeory and SD Card ....?????? :crying:
