I see no reason why you shouldnt have the update. Have you at any stage reflashed firmware with flashtool?
If not then.....
The only reason could be is that your carrier is holding back the release so they can add the crap too it.
Cheers,

I flashed 0.42 to be able to root it..but i had some issues upgrading to 0.62...
Can that be a reason?
I'm having the same problem. The latest update PC Companion is saying I can have is .62 but not ICS. Never flashed the kernel, only rooted it. When I try updating to .62 though it won't let me update keeps saying there's an error. Do I need to have .62 to upgrade or not? I'm on O2.

I'd update to .62 but every time I try it says theirs an error and is unable to do it
Both of you try doing an ota update, i.e using update center from your mobile itself then you'll have 0.62 and also you will keep root

I've tried that before. Says I have to update through PC Companion and not OTA.

I'm going to try flash the updated version to my phone using Flashtool. I can't see any reasons why it wouldn't work but I'll let you know if it does or not.

You can't update to ICS ota. I asked you to try updating to 0.62 ota as you had problems updating to 0.62. If you are flashing and want to keep root access, then remember to uncheck 'wipe data' while flashing

I meant that I tried updating to .62 OTA and it says I need to connect it to the PC. So will flashing from .58 to 4 work then and keep root? Not so bothered about it not keeping root but as long as it would work.
I now have 4.0 and on root. Followed this, no need to update to .62 or follow the rooting procedures if your phone is already rooted.

My boyfriend and I both just got xperia x10s. We both did a one click root and we both have R2BA020 as our build numbers. How can we get up to 26 or whatever the latest one is? Thanks
Hi.
Google "SEUS" and update your phones, but you will have to run the one click root app again.
Hi going through Seus is a difficult i'll tell you a simple method go into settings then click about phone on the top you will find software update just click it then you will see update now just click that whoa! your X10 will be updated to the latest 026 i hope it will work for you coz it worked for me and my cousin,regards.
If OTA doesn't work try SEUS cos updates are not always available OTA.
SEUS and the phone updater both say we are up to date...
If you are with Rogers, then you won't be able to update to the latest firmware. You will have to flash another .26 rom.
To flash to the latest firmware and get the root, follow these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...33#post7490733
We are with tmobile
Ive seen this on the arc section and it works !
Do not try this if you have an unlocked bootloader or if you dont know what your doing! I'm not resposible if you break or brick your phone!
If you're already on a rooted .184/.181 firmware and OTA update is available for you just update your firmware. If not:
- Backup the apps you need (if you have root)
- flash to .184 UK firmware with the flashtool (Do a clean install or else you will have alot of force closes)
- heres the .184 UK firmware and the flash tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
- Use Gingerbreak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 or Superoneclick to root your device
- Update your Play using a OTA(over the air) update(Got to settings->About phone->Software update)
- Restore your apps
- Enjoy your rooted 2.3.3!!!
NOTE !!! : The only thing you should do after you flash and before ota update is to root and nuthin more.
NOTE 2: The Generic UK firmware works worldwide. Doesn't matter what phone you have except for the Verizon model. So if you have an AT&T R800a dev/google conference unit or UK or Rogers or France or any other phone. It will work It will not brick your phone

If you're allready on a rooted .181 and OTA update is available for you just update your firmware. If not:
- flash to a 3.0.A.2.181 firmware with the flashtool
- Use Gingerbreak or Superoneclick to root your device
- Update your Arc/Play using a OTA(over the air) update(Got to settings->About phone->Software update)
- Enjoy your rooted 2.3.3!!!
Note this only works on .181 firmwares

Hi guys,
So far this methode only works with the .181 global generic firmware(1247-1061) on the Arc.
I think if you flash the global generic .181 firmware for the play this methode should also work for you guys.
good luck!

Whoa wait a minute!, it didn't work at all when I tried it AFTER I had uninstalled all the apps on the safe list, and plus it was also said to have just been working on .181 so I take what I previously said back and I'm pretty sure I confirmed it working also BEFORE you put this up

remember there is lots to search thru BEFORE you go and make sensationalist claims like "giving wrong information" out just a thought tuff guy!!
I can confirm that this is not working for me. I've flashed the UK generic 1.84 a while back. I've removed some bloatware after rooting with gingerbreak.
Today I read this thread and gave it a try. It downloads the update and when I click ok it shuts off and does it's thing with the four dots. When it reboots it goes through the Sony txt and bootup anim and then the lock screen and says it's unable to update?
I've tried it twice. My phone is sim unlocked from purchase. Could it be the removed bloatware or a modified framework that causes it?
Regards Dousan...
e: I did it OTA.
help......
i have a strange problem i was on 2.3.3 unrooted
i tried to downgrade to the uk generic firmware in this post with
flashtool, it flashed ok i restarted phone but
when phone goes to desktop its blank just the darkblue wallpaper with nothing on it
kust the time in the top right taskbar and the signal strenth and the simcard symbol with a red x on it and the battery status bar
and that it.
it wont scroll left/right for more home screens, none of the buttons do anything
apart from power button and volume up/down
when i scroll the notification bar down it just says emergency calls only
and then in the top left its got the numbers 1980 3 8
what the hell is goin on
my fone boots up but i cant use it in any way
Is the OTA update available everywhere? Mines on 2.3.2 but if i try to OTA it says im already on the latest firmware.

Good luck.. Hope you will post some screenshot afterwards..
The baseband is still 72 ?
just a curious question, does the home launcher in 4.1.B.0.587 is smoother now like in GB? the only reason i had moved to my own ported miui because of it's too lag in 4.0.4
Out of curiosity which country is this update for?, I'm still waiting for the original ICS update in UK, and my phone is sim free, and they haven't updated the SI Numbers for a month.
recieved the update here .. in egypt
Anyone can post the ftf file?

btw, did you lose the ROOT ???
Wonder what the deal will be with rooting this one? Hopefully it won't be like ICS 4.0.4. - i.e. using Flashtool to flash 4.0.3 kernel (then root & CWM) and then flashing back to 4.0.4 again. Then again, if someone posts up an .ftf for .587 it should be straightforward enough. Hopefully anyway!:fingers-crossed:!
I got update in georgia but same global fail while downloading firmware.. almost bricked my phone..
I got the update, UI just like previous stock one, but feels lot more smoother than before. I added some screenshots

Yes, this for international version, I'm uploading the american version too.
And I confirm that can root and install clockwork mod such in 431 firmware.
Just flashed to 4.1.B.0.587. The UI is definitely smoother, and the camera lag seems to be gone as someone else has pointed out. Also the phone in general seems to be faster. I can also confirm like the others that the rooting trick for 4.1.B.0.431 works on this new firmware.
Could you guys please post some link with rooting instructions and necessary files to achieve it? Thanks a lot.
guys what about led notification? sms, missed call? working or not?

If it's unlocked never do an ota update or your phone will brick!
A word of advice better not go for the OTA update. Instead use flashtool and flash the .587 firmware!
Hi, recently I have purchased Xperia U. I try to find out is there any ics update available for my zone or not. So I connect my phone with pc through the provided software with phone and after successful connection it shows ics update waiting for my set. I thought I will try OTA update instead of through pc. I checked my phone setting -> update software and found that my set is already up-to-date I.e GB. I am really confused. This type thing did not happen with me before for my HTC set. Someone pl. Help. Thanks in advance.

Just try updating through the sont software?
If that doesn't work you can always try flashing an FTF file with latest update for Xperia U
Goodluck!
Update from GB to ICS through OTA is not available, you have to update via PC

Bro, this is because the ICS is still not ready for your region.
The only way is to flash ics ftf file via flashtool.
