First you would need root but since root isn't available for release6b, you can't downgrade yet

so what i can do is wait, maybe JB fw would save me from stucking (have no expeactation in the next couple of days coz Xmas and new year is coming).
BTW, is it possbile to send it back to SONY cumstomer service and request for a earlier fw version installation?

What problems are you experiencing with the new firmware?
Or you just need root?

I have an xperia x10a bought from bestbuy (att) and i have succesfully updated my phone to the Generic 2.1.1 on baseband 2.1.54 with build number 2.1.A.0.435. I am also rooted. My question is will i get the 2.3 update right away, because I am on a Generic firmware, or will i have to wait for some kind of an ftf or something?
I read around here that rooted phones are a no go, so you may want to unroot just to be safe
Yeah just in case something happens, unroot your phone. Apparently SEUS nor PC Companion will update your phone unless it's unrooted.
ok i unrooted my phone but the question was more about whether i will get the 2.3 update at the same time as everyone else because i have an att phone with generic firmware

You will get the update. At the same time as everyone else...probably not. However the good news is is once it is officially released someone here will get it and the devs will be able to create a .ftf file for everyone to have it using flashtool. So once it is officially released the devs will have it ready for us in no time...you wont have to wait for SE anymore.

Maybe pre-rooted as well?
Because I remembered when 1 of the 2.1.1 updates came and we can't root it when it rolled out, so devs made a pre-rooted ftf file.

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?
Hey plz tell us more: D

PC Companion says the update is there, but it fails while starting the update process. It is globally failing now, for Ray and other phones.
So, no update for the moment

i'll download NOW
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

The mentioned rooting method worked. I guess it will still be the only method for locked bootloader.

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?
Hi... I just bought a brand new Mini Pro, and it came with 2.3 GB Android. I went to software update and it updated to 4.0.2.A.0.62 - but it's still 2.3.4. GingerBread! I tried with PC Companion, it says I have the latest software... how do I get stock ICS?
Thank you in advance
Try Sony Update service
If that doesn't work either, use flashtool and flash the stock ics rom

Thanks for the quick reply. Sony Update service just informed me that I have the latest software, just like OTA and PC Companion. I then tried with flashtool and 4.1.B.0.431 firmware, which worked after a couple of tries It seems that new phones are not recognized for automatic update to ICS, so it has to be done manually.

Yeah, no problem with that... but I noticed something very strange when I removed the battery... my brand new sk17i, bought in june 2013. has 11W37 manufacturing week label! So, either those numbers are not what they seem to be (year W week), or the importer got some cheap, old, recalled, forgotten-in-the-warehouse, first batch units. I checked the manufacturing date because the famous chirping and static clicking sounds are there, I thought that problem was solved with the new units (I used to have mini pro some time last year). Now I know...
I'm stuck on the current 532 Chinese version and it's not letting me upgrade or downgrade.
Been over 6 hours flashing and flashing and I'm having problems with the HK/Asian versions of the stock rom.
Since downgrading from 4.3 to 4.2 my sim no longer works regardless. I'm not getting any signal regardless of what I do.
I bought my Xperia Z Ultra from UAE and would preferably want to use a UAE/Middle Eastern Rom.
Previously I had the FTF file for the Middle East and it worked wonders for me. Unfortunately I've removed and can no longer find it.
Should anyone be kind enough to upload the FTF file or even guide me to a working link I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

6802. Thanks.
Here you go
XPERIA Z ULTRA C6802_14.1.B.1.532_GENERIC MEA.ftf
Oh, it looks like you've lost your IMEI, and that's why you're not getting a signal. This happens when you downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2. I have no idea why it happens, but it does, so follow this guide to restore your IMEI.
the problem may appear in some models. I downgraded mine from 4.3 to 4.2 without such problem.
p.s you can flash any firmware to your phone, no need to be in UAE. I live in Vietnam and I flashed European 4.3 on mine.

True, however, I had issues with the HK edition of the rom. It had some corruption or file missing since it would't allow me to properly root and when trying to boot in CWM it would't work.

Correct, my imei was 000000000000000. I will refer to the link you provided. Thanks.
I've successfully UPGRADED to 532 Middle East version. :laugh:
Thanks to everyone for their support and response.
Unfortunately I'm not that technical with regards to flashing and such and usually I spend hours if not a whole day trying to solve a simple issue.
Usually when attempting downgrading, flashing and changing roms and using custom firmware I get stuck half way through.
This ends up with a half working phone, boot loops, etc...
This happened when trying to get the 290 firmware, rooted with root. The part with regards to using a dual recovery was not too clear and this resulted in a bricked device.
I'm now back to stock 532, rooted & happy. To be honest, I didn't see any big differences with 532 and 290.
I cannot live without root. My bootloader is locked and unlocking it is a pain in the ass, lol.
I will patiently wait for the proper update of Android 4.4 Kitkat until I decide on upgrading.
I can only hope there is an easy rooting method of 4.4 when it's released. I don't plan on backing up data, reinstalling everything again, etc...
Let's hope when 4.4 Kitkat is released there is an easy rooting method which doesn't require an unlocked bootloader. :laugh:
