The update for Hong Kong is only rolled out for particular device, which is unbranded retail device. For those device bought from operator such as 3HK, the ota update is not yet available until early June since the firmware for branded devices need the operator to approve those preinstalled application. My xperia arc was bought from 3HK so it is still checked as most update using pc companion software. Anyway I by need those operator Apps so I have go for the Hong Kong retail version firmware,. Although it still contain some junk software that I don't need. Flashing the firmware. Using flashtool is just so easy and even no need to unlock the. Bootloader which could void the warranty.

That particular thread is meant for listing the countries (as well as brand and build number) for the 2.3.3 update. No lengthy discussions there.
PS: It just got released for certain Singapore sets.

thats Greece

So did anyone test this ROM from the link above? Is it Generic Global, or not... In another topic, somebody said that this IS NOT Generic Global.
However, there is another link for Generic Central Europe ROM:
https://hotfile.com/dl/167361348/43349db/LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716).ftf.html
Still waiting for Generic Global, or somebody to confirm that the one linked in second post, IS Generic Global.

This one is not Greece, obviously. This is the source, already posted in another thread:

But I'm still waiting for someone to confirm about first one posted here, is it Global or not. If it's not, then hopefuly someone will post the right one any time soon...

Because the last build "431" did not have Arabic, and every roms based from it did not have the Arabic language:crying:

My question was how to install it properly, not where to get it
This:
"10.Place the unzipped file in the usb_driver folder, located in the Android SDK > extras > google folder on your computer. Accept to replace the old android_winusb.inf-file with the new file. If you can't find the usb_driver folder, please install the Google USB Driver Packager using the Android SDK manager."
I don't get WHERE is it since after installing the SDK I cannot find it nowhere.
This is a mess for me.
And what about this Manager:
And where to get this file:
7.Extract fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar and open fastboot folder

If you can't wait any longer then you can flash any generic ROMs available now. I'm using the generic ROM from CH (Swiss) and it's fine. You will just lose any customization of SMART if you will flash other ROMs but still functions the same.

Hi there! Were you able to update? If so, can you please provide a FTF file for that? I'm on the C&J version atm and having really bad Kernel wakelocks.. was hoping to update to that without rooting, if its not too much trouble. :fingers-crossed:

Yes I was able to update, but sadly I got an uber slow connection that I can't upload an FTF file. Maybe someone who's more "used to it" and have a fast connection could do it.

Does the Smart Comm. version always get updated first before the Generic PH one? I happen to have the Generic PH one.

as far as i know, generic ones always receive the updates first before the branded ones... i have read that somewhere. hehe. i am also a generic PH XZ user but i flashed a different generic ROM. also, flashing other generic ROMs will remove the sim/network lock of your XZ, if i'm not mistaken. hehe.

Nah it doesnt remove the simlock but carrier specific bloatwares. This is only good when you wanna come clean upon claiming warranty.
