I have updated to Ice Cream Sandwich and now want to put Gingerbread back on but Sony wont let me do this.
Can you guys please point me towards the correct UK gingerbread software. My Arc S is a uk sim free model.

Look in the sticky on the same page you've started a thread on.

This from the official T-M boards and Twitter:
From Monday 4th October there will be an over the air (OTA) update making it's way to T-Mobile branded Wildfires. This update will improve the general stability of the 2.1 operating system.
Watch out for it coming your way from Monday.
Cheers

It'll prob be the 1.25.405.1 update (we're still on 1.14.xxx) If i install this would I loose root?
flash it through recovery
thanks for the info OP, i've been getting so annoyed with the phone randomly crashing and restarting. Although I think I'll do my research today and backup the original ROM and put on the 2.2 puzzle roms available. Need to root my new PS3 anyway
hello.
i have a doubt and hope you can clarify me.
is there any way i can update my x10 with an uk fw in order to have the possibility to update it to 2.1?i've read that generic uk phones will be the first ones to have access to 2.1.
i'm runing vodafone portugal fw r2ba023. in order to have a generic fw i have to unlock it first. is that possible?
thanks
I would sooner wait on an update from a forum member. We don't know exactly where it'll hit first and IIRC, the updates could possibly be staggered.
As we've seen in the past people are pretty damn quick to share the news. We should maybe all band together and keep a torrent going or something. I hate file sharing websites. If worse comes to worse I'd upload this to a file sharing site for others. We've waited far too long and I'd hate for anyone to have to wait any longer than necessary.
not sure where is that fw but u can check on dev threads for the x10
I updated mine to latam generic version

Maybe the update hasn't arrived yet in your country. There are many others who are still running 1.6 in their X8s.
Or...
You can root and install latest stock firmware which you can download from the X8 android development section, but why stay in 2.1 when can go to 2.2 or 2.3 ?
Sooooo, like alot of people here that either couldn't wait or didn't think we were getting the update, I flashed my x10a with a generic firmware(now an x10i). I believe my original region code was 1233-6929. My question is, how would I go about putting the official firmware back on? I've searched and can't seem to find out how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
According to this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186045
1233-6929 has been updated to 2.3. There is no need to go back to 2.1.
Did you not make a backup of the 2.1 ROM with xrecovery before you flashed 2.3?
Why do I get that feeling that I'm going to kick myself in the butt for not doing that? Anyway, I should have added the fact that I am currently on a generic gingerbread firmware but would like to know how to put the official update on my phone?
No, no you're fine unless you absolutely need to go back to Eclair.

Flash the 2.3 firmware for X10a with the flashtool. I've got to tell you, all the 2.3 upgrade has the same build number (3.0.1.G.0.75) and the firmware you are currently on is no different, except what the "model number" says on phone's property.
You can try updating the firmware through SEUS or PC Companion, but there will be no difference.....
Alright, thanks for the info. Looks like the owner of the thread you linked here doesn't have all the x10a kits added yet (which I'm assuming includes the Rogers one I mentioned) so I may have to wait for a bit before it's available for download so that I can use it with flashtool? The only reason why I want to go with the official update is because I've had a few glitches with the generic one I currently have. Every once in a while I get some error messages pop up on the screen, one that I can recall is "failed to create media transport" and some other ones. Plus if I ever plan on selling the phone, it probably would be best if it had the official update on it (just itching to get the galaxy s2).
Hi Has anybody got a link for a untouched stock ICS rom for a UK gen1 device needs to be for the uk tab's has the gen 2 usa ones keep messing up my wifi
Thanks in advance
Any one ?
Bump Has anybody manage to capture the OTA update of ICS update.zip on there uk device who are willing to share and post
For me the OTA ICS messes up Wifi anyway, It seems to have a mind of own.
If i can find an easy backtrack i will revert back to the stable Honeycomb.
Nothing yet?
