If you have a prototype and you want to get the retail firmware, you could try flashing the ROM's that are available in the Android Development section.
If I understand what he's trying to say... He somehow got an arc prototype and it sends messages back to HQ in Sweden automatically (debug firmware) and this is costing him money.
Either buy a retail Arc or flash the ROM.
Did you buy this phone?

Commited my butt....
Hopefully SE won´t make the same mistakes with arc.
my hand just touched my face! [facepalm]
I hope they will change their opinion
"We are launching a product in Q1 of this year running 2.3, we have recognised the need to have our products on the latest release. ..."

For me this is stupid.
They know that they need to release new android version but not trought update but trought new product.They can do this trought update but they wont.
Crazy idea for profit
why they can't give us the new damn 2.3 update and finish this crap
Title says it all. Already posted in the X10 forum, thought it was more relevant here! See article for more information.

excellent news, especially for me since i decided to cancel my contract pre order and just get the play sim free
I have always dabbed into the root. My N1 was fantastic rooted and running CM. No need to now its on gingerbread.

I'm not getting a sim lock free play, hopefully the simlocked devices will be rooted soon to.
I was going to wait for the o2 version in white but glad I just ordered off play.com
Excellent news. Wish more manufacturers would follow suit. Next time my contracts up , I'll seriously consider SE now if they are going to continue with this.
Im used to the freedom with my n1. Its brilliant when you can do anything with your phone.
Any word if the US bound one (for Verizon) will have locked bootloader?
My guess is yes, but I really don't want to be right in this case...
Waitin for the CDMA version
The CDMA bootloader unlock is finished, check the Development section.
Hello gyus. I just want to know why doesn't SE unlock xperia x8 bootloader.Sorry, I'm a newbie
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Well, pretty useless topic.
I think they just wanna be in control and they probably don't want people to mess with their devices, because of warranty.
Sony always did that and always will, not only with phones.
Okay.thank you mr.hat

i thought sony unlocked the bootloader of other xperia models, i may be wrong but im nearly sure the x10 was unlocked.
http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/which-phones
Not for X8 yet.
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/e3748ae6f8f4925b#
Their page on groups, perhaps if we go there and claim the bootloader unlock for our phone they might listen to us... or not:
SE on Facebook said:
There are not plans for Xperia X8 to get 2.2 or later unfortunately, and there's no plan to unlock the boot loader for it either.
The boot loader decision was taken not so long ago and it goes for the newer phone's released. For the already released phone (prior to this decision) it would not be possible since it would violate agreements.

Eh, let's hope that our developers make this possible, SE has abandoned us.
Something is going on, so just wanted to share with U and give (back) some hope:

"We have been having a lot of questions regarding the update for our 2011 Xperia™ phones to the new Android 2.3.4 version. And we are happy to tell you that today we announced that the 2.3.4 version of Gingerbread platform for all the 2011 Xperia™ Smartphones will start the roll out during October at select markets."
Let's hope for the best!
Cheers,
it is update for 2011 phones such as arc, neo, play, pro,...
X8, X10/mini/pro are listed in the 2010 Xperia phones
...segtawee.....
But our sibling W8 was 2011 phone...
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
i am using a W8.... but after i installed Gingerdx... it shows that my model number is X8...
does that means i will not be getting the update ?
well... i prefer Dx's custom ROM better... more updates than the SE
i dont believe that the w8 will get the update..it is practically not a smartphone..and guys be realistic if the x8(or w8) havent gotten froyo how it is possible that we will get 2.3.4?just be happy for the devs here in xda
@innovator84:
Open the build.prop in a text editor,change every "X8" to W8" and then reboot and have a look at settings-about phone again.

i dont see trolling or any trolls in this thread because it located at the general section, no one is being assaulted.
W8 won't get an update, because it isn't a 'Xperia' series phone. It is a 'Walkman' with android system.
Edit: Who cares we don't have 2.3.4? CM 7.1.0-pre is on 2.3.5!

Thanks for the tips... but it doesn't matter anyway...
the W8 is practically a X8 with a walkman logo on it..
Yes you're right, W8 is a X8 with a walkman logo. But W8 isn't a 'Xperia' series phone, so it won't get a update too.
x8 wont be updated to 2.3 because its not a 2011 xperia phone its a 2010 xperia smartphone. and as @samyeung97hk already said the w8 isnt an xperia phone at all its a walkman. its sad but true we wont be getting official 2.3
Well I guess its only the packaging of w8. Its like LG Optimus and its glossy version.

It probably won't get an update as the x8 won't get an update. If the W8 gets an update us x8 users should get an update too because W8 firmware is virtually identical to x8 firmware. But SE has mentioned that x8 will not get update so W8 users probably will not get an update.

As I said earlier in this thread, W8 isn't a 'Xperia' series phone. Although it's spec/firmware are the same, it won't get an update either.
Edit: Every Android phones are upgradable if the spec allows/have devs to develop firmware.
its been conform no Ice Cream Sandwich for Xperia PLAY

Its not a rumor anymore coming from an official sony xperia source.
I called it about 5 months ago but for different reasons
not sure how an official blog post on the Xperia website is a rumor... we arent getting it... not from sony atleast
Im going to be blunt here:
We dont need it. Gingerbread works fine
For those who think we do need it: You dont NEED it...You WANT it

Just my opinion: I wouldn't jump ship on an OS just because Sony couldn't make it work. I have an XPlay for personal use and a iPhone4 for work. I would gladly go back to my old Eris before making the iPhone my main device. If you're really hurting for something ICS-ish, unlock it and slap on a new ROM.
