                                   X10Flasher_lib
take the firmware to the "Firmwares" folder

Press Ok
it will ask you to connect your phone on Flashmode (turn off your phone, press the back button, then connect the USB) press OK
This is an step by step guide

Well I have update my Arc to 2.3.4 (4.0.1.A.O.238) using PC Companion. Everything took 15 minutes and went smooth.

- 3D panorma/3D gallery

- New wordtime widget (looks nice together with the "old" weather widget

- large letter at the key-board

- some integrated Facebooks application

- some new maps

- if the screen is more sensitive/responsitive cant really tell

As mention earlier there is no bigger changes - or improvment, but even so it´s nice to see that Sonyericsson has got better and better to be before up date schedule rather than behind.

Nice work Sonyericsson

That is good to know. Might perform a firmware update.

If Global Generic is out soon, then will wait for it.:smileyhappy:

what would be the major difference between this and the global generic version?

Probably only the model name. I noticed from the screenshot it said MT15
