Is there anyway to do this? Change the firmware maybe?
what is the main purpose you need to change from a to i??
You can re-brand it with the x10 firmware. But I dont recommend it cause mine got re-branded into a x10i and I can't get updates from Sony Ericsson. I been trying to brand it back to x10a but having problems.

Is there any other people out there still on o2's r16 firmware?
I've had no joy with their cs dept and am keen for the new updates but they appear to have forgotten us.
I'm hesitant to root it or debrand it until the modded roms are cooked

o2 germany have it and o2 ireland so why not the uk us x10i owners should all contact o2 and let them know that.
Customer service don't seem to know anything.

I too am on O2.
I rooted it because I wanted to run SetCPU and several other apps.
The only thing I have lost since rooting is the O2 section in the Timescape spline: NOT a big deal.
I couldn't wait for O2 so I did it myself and it was WELL worth it, The battery life has improved by a ridiculous level. I'm shocked to hear they still haven't done it officially.
I wouldn't be too scared to go ahead and do it... just make sure you sync your contacts first, back up all that you can and then go for it.
Go ahead and root it.
Yeah im sure its the way forward! Am thinking death will arrive before o2's update! Ah reminds me of my x1 days lol!

Hi I was just wondering if anyone with a branded dhd from Vodafone has got this update yet in the u.k??
Cos apparently its rolling out on branded phones first but I been checking and checking but no sign tut, its been out for a while hasn't it? I did actually phone Vodafone to ask them but he didn't have a clue. Thanks

I was wondering the same thing. Still no update on my Vodafone branded DHD
Just my luck, get an unbranded phone for the first time and for the first time Vodafone branded phones get the update first lol.
Normally have to wait months for the branded phones to get updated with vodafone, although I suppose this has more to do with HTC than VF.

I'm not so sure that's true hawkwind
?? It just seems funny how people with branded dhd's ain't actually showing any update when they check?? Is it even rolling out in the u.k yet?? I thought we were one of the first lot to get it?

Does anyone know what is going on with UK stock for this? It's been out at most places since before easter and the likes of CPW are still saying >14days for stock.
Any ideas?
Earthquake, Tsunami, Nuclear meltdown.
As excuses go you have to admit it beats "the dog ate my homework".
Yup its True
There is a strong shortage of Xperia ARC and even Galaxy S2 also owing to Extreme demand and Low stock levels throughout the world.
I dont think even US will get a light of these two fones soon.
I am expecting my pre-ordered ARC around 21st May in India. Thats also
"May be" ...
So better pre order it sooner.
Its in stock on expansys for midnight blue, 5 days estimate for silver. Its where I got mine from on release day

This is what I'd heard, which is fair enough. It's just that I haven't actually seen a SE source confirming. SE tweeted to someone the other day just saying "its been out and available for weeks"
That earth quake is correct carphone warehouse told me that cause they had a conference with se but the only place I could find the arc is with 3 network thats how I got mine

Right I sent mine to 3 cause I cracked screen and it was sim unlocked they told me it didn't matter which firmware I had on aslong as it was stock mate it doesn't have to be 3s own really but they did sim lock it so they unlocked it for free but I was arguing with them over it just flash any generic ftf mate that will do

you just need to register and download the client (.exe file)
Then start the file, login and connect the device. Then you can choose which firmware you want to flash... It really is very easy to use, but you cannot find a flashable file on the website. It is downloaded within the process...

Hey everyone I contacted orange about the update and it seems there is no current release plan for the update, email below.
Hi Christian
We don't have any timescale for that at the moment, but I'll make some enquiries for you and let you know as soon as I hear anything.
Thanks
