184 Firmware update (Three UK) - Xperia Arc General

I'm on the stock build (3.0.A.2.181) and all the forums I see say there is an update to 184. I've checked with PC companion and SE's Update Service and both say I am up to date.
Is anyone else on 3 and managed to update?

Phone update?

Hey, I just got my phone a few days ago, its
X10I
1.6 firmware
1.1.25 baseband
2.6.29-rel kernel
the build number is R2BA020
every time I search for an update it says my phone is up to date (but we are on 026 while I'm still on 020, can someone tell me why? I live in USA, but I know my phone is imported from Singapore.
a lot of people are at least 2 updates ahead of me, can someone tell me why the update wont work here? I think the phone is released here if you check the SE website.
I think different countries get upgrades at different times. The people with R2BA026 manually upgraded it.
The thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907 has info about upgrading in post # 4.
Option 4
"FULL UPDATE FROM ANY ROM ANY VERSION - ROOTED R2BA024 - with new keys
http://hotfile.com/dl/58222228/feec8..._F3v2.rar.html"
Should update any version to R2BA024 which you can then upgrade to R2BA026 via
Option 5
UPDATE FROM ROOTED R2BA024 TO ROOTED R2BA026 X10i ONLY
http://hotfile.com/dl/58265810/8bef0..._x10i.rar.html
You might want to double check with someone else since I am not experienced nor have I upgraded from 24 to 26 myself.
my phone isn't rooted though, anyone else in USA with x10i still stuck on 020?

[Q] Possible Update -> Rogers

Hey there, I'm running R2BA026 - which I had updated to by debranding my x10a from Rogers Wireless (Canada). Upon updating, it had changed from x10a to x10i and there was warning in the instructions that doing so would result in PC Companion/SEUS not being able to update. I was fine with this as I could always revert when a major update was released. That brings me to a message I had received tonight while playing with files while connected to the USB. SEUS notified me that there was an update available for my phones software...but I can't update because... x10i, not x10a (although I have tried, it says it is unable to update). Now to my knowledge, I do have the latest firmware. So I'm wondering if anyone else on the Rogers network, or any where else for that matter, has gotten this notification? It could be some thing interesting but I don't want to revert to branded firmware just for some none sense update. :s
I'm on the Telus network..
Therefore.. I have to depend on Rogers to get the firmware though.. haha..
So I wouldn't get any notifications, but it'd be interesting to see if anyone got some.
I would definitely debrand myself and go back to Rogers to get it..or not cause I'll lose my root ):
I ran the updater this morning and nothing for me on Rogers

Any update on the updates?

has anyone heard anything new about getting these new SE updates onto out phones that cannot update OTA or with PC Companion?
The update is available for me but i cant get it because im using FTS V05 with unlocked bootloader and rooted.
It just keeps saying my phone is up to date
how do you know if the update is available for you?
If it was available then it would say "update phone"
no it wouldnt because im not using official rom and can not get update OTA or using SE software. i have to flash it myself. When you go on their website and update section for our phone it says there is s new update (xLoud etc) and i rang SE and said i should be able to update using PC Companion (I obviously didnt tell them i have unlocked bootloader etc)
i noticed this on the x10 section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201729
anyone know if this would work on our phone? scred to try it lol
what country are you in and which firmware are you using?
im from Northern Ireland and my phone is:
Model: R800i
Version: 2.3.3
Build: 3.0.1.A.0.145

[Q] Rooted then unrooted question

Hi
Picked up an S5 after years of iPhones, Which i bought from the three store in the UK.
After installing a few apps i started to get error 24 installing netflix. I didnt fancy doing a factory reset so i routed my phone to use a root browser to remove the temp files which resolved my issue (but of course i still had to do a factory reset) However i didn't realise that android confirms if its official or not and then doesn't receive OTA updates.
I'm not much into messing with releases these days so i downloaded the stock UK firmware (NCE) from sammobile and it now says official after flashing it.
However i notice that there is an OTA update out today (NC2) which i'm not getting when i check for updates (the message says latest update installed).
Is this simply a case of the update not having rolled out to everyone yet or does the update checker use the serial number of my phone to check that it should be on the H3G UK firmware rather than the stock UK firmware? Kies also states the firmware is up to date.
Thanks for any advice

Rather than waiting for ota would I just be as well flashing the new stock uk firmware through Odin?

EE OTA Update (UK)?

Hi
The latest firmware build for EE UK (EVR) (G935FXXU1BPLJ/G935FEVR1BPK5/G935FXXU1BPL1/G935FXXU1BPLJ) was released on SamMobile around Christmas time.....I'm still not getting any update notification via OTA.
I don't know whether or not to wait for the OTA to come through, or just go for an Odin flash.
I was wondering typically, how long does it take for an update to come through over OTA after it goes up on SamMobile?
Has anyone else received the PLJ update on EE over OTA yet?
I think the distribution time differs per carrier.. For me, (T-Mobile NL) the firmware is often available after it being on Sammobile for one day at max. But sometimes carriers only allow a certain amount of people to upgrade per hour/day, not sure why. (maybe to prevent server overload)
I tend to agree with you mate.
I've since found this quite interesting EE article which seems to confirm this
I like the network but their software updates plain suck.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
I noticed the same, EE update but not pushed to my handset. I was about to download the firmware and Odin then found a guide that said to use Samsung Smart Switch for Windows. I installed that and although the update was not available to me via OTA through the Smart Switch application I was able to update.
