It's the same story here in Saudi Arabia as well. PC Companion still says that both my Us have the latest software (2.3.7) as of today. I've been waiting for the update since I bought the phones about three months ago! I downloaded the ICS ftf file and tried to update them manually using Flashtool, but not even that worked! The flashtool couldn't even root the phones for some reason!

You Can Flash Your Xperia U with flashtool and after that,with ICS 4.04,you can root it easily with Flashtool.what's the problem ?!

[sjanzeir]

The problem is that I was dumb

As it turns out, I had forgotten to switch on debugging all along, which is why the flashtool didn't work for the first one million or so attempts (a big "duh..." moment here :smileycool:). So last night I flashed in ICS 4.0.4 on both phones, but still had some minor issues. I got through the day just fine, and tonight I reflashed one of the phones back to GB 2.3.7, which I am now upgrading to the "official" ICS through PC Companion as I'm writing this. Then - if I can stay awake - I'll do the same with the other phone.

Thanks for the help.

You're welcome

So, SONY Finally released Official ICS 4.04 for your Country ?! what's your phone's Part Number ?

[sjanzeir]

I doubt it - there was no official update through PC Companion up until yesterday night. But since I reflashed the "generic_world" version of GB 2.3.7 earlier tonight and then connected the phone to PC Companion, I immediately got the ICS update message! It seems that the GB ftf file I downloaded is slightly different from the firmware that originally came on the phone, hence the PC Companion update. Now I'm grappling with a WiFi issue! PWFH seems to work fine, but not WiFi itself!

Oh,why you didn't use your own Phone's version ?! you can create it with passed updates in your PCC Folder !!!
What's your phone's Sl Number ?! 1261-8812 ?!

[sjanzeir]

I would if I could find the exact ftf for my particular phones. You completely lost me on that second part about PCC folders and what not... :smileyconfused::smileygrin:

One of them is 1261-8745.6 and the other is 1261-8746.6

It's a little hard to explain.Do ever use SUS or PCC for updating your phone before you flashed it with Flashtools ?! I mean Normal update with just those apps
If you did it,i can help you
