Xperia Arc LT15a on Rogers. Why can't I get the ICS update?

[Shiv122]

My SI # is 1246-1838

Build Number #4.0.2.A.0.42

Is there any way at all I can update to ICS? My SI number isn't on that posted list.

Thanks.

Nice thanks for all this.

No problem

[Shiv122]

Oh and I forgot to ask but will the fact that all Rogers Xperia Arc's have locked bootloaders which cannot go into fastboot effect the update process via the method you posted?

[Uliwooly]

fastboot is NOT flashtool

you don't have to unlock your bootloader to use flashtool

Remember

you can use the LT15i software on LT15 a and vice versa without affecting their 3G connectivity, just like you ca use the LT15i/a software on the LT18i/a and vice versa.
