I'll let you know if I find the other thread in the mean time go ahead, it'll be great if you create a chart at the top of the page so other users can see if their SI number and country it's on the list

I've got the same SI as Trevor868 above.

I'm wondering, what is Sony's reason for not releasing the update to my phone? I know that the networks not releasing it is a common excuse here but in this case my phone is sim free so you cannot blame the mobile networks.

I don't understand why Sony and the other mobile companies can't learn from what apple do well. All iphone users can download the update on the day of release, there's none of this waiting around (for unknown reasons as far as I can tell). A few years back, I had a nokia which had exactly this problem where an update had been released by the manufacturer but nokia and the network just blamed each other for me not getting the update.

I did a while back, some say they dont even know and some say that they have the update and they are testing it out with the phones ... so I dont know how long it will take for them to release it, So im guessing that is why my SI number is not on the list yet

Re: 4.0.4 unofficial progress thread

Uliwooly — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 19:37:28 GMT

Exactly, your SI number won't be on the list but until Roger is done testing it and release it.

So if i manually update my phone, I would first need to have unlocked bootloader?

Re: 4.0.4 unofficial progress thread

Uliwooly — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:01:13 GMT

it'll be useful to lock it, but you can try to flash it w/o relocking it, I haven't tried that.

I'm still waiting for the update too Trevor

1254-1957 / ARC S

although when I use the *#*#7378423#*#* method it shows 1254-3206

I'm assuming 1957 is the one I should be looking out for as when I last updated 3206 wasn't on the list so quite surprised me

No problem, I waited myself a long time for the update, so it's good that people will get som directions on what companies have accepted the ICS update.

Trevor868 — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 21:38:56 GMT
