That is just a certifying thingy. Releasing the firmware is based on SE. If you notice, there are so many versions never exists in the real world .

The .283 was a pre-release only for nordic countries, the rest of you buggers will get .42 in a few days.

I don't think that. I have arc with 4.0.1.A.0.283 firmware and active with 4.0.1.A.0.284 firmware and they both have Android 2.3.4. They are world generic so you are wrong. And I am from Croatia by the way.

Some german users reported to get the update.

Wotan can let me NOT wipe user data?

No, it'll wipe the phone.
Use FlashTool to upadte + keep your data.

I dont know how and why, my LT15 .368 was updated to .42, skipping 283. One thing I noticed is Companion was not able to update my ARC, instead I use standalone updater from Sony and without any trouble, it was updated to .42
My arc was previously 368 rooted. .42 is lightweight for sure but seem no auto brightness feature in DISPLAY.

So the first ..DMC1 comes to China )

Hi everyone. I hope brothers from China will try the latest DMC1 firmware and tell us the xhanges, improvements or new features... By now it is aviable through Kies..
It is not for N7102, but for N7100ZCDMC1

May be old bootloader (in new China rom) causing issue. Then flashing with mobile Odin may work.

Not gonna risk it

Indeed mobile Odin is much safer in this regards, it can't flash any sensitive partition. So even if you flash wrong way it's just soft brick. Two dangerous thing to flash are pit and bootloader, that mobile Odin never touch.

Might also want to update your Odin to 3.07. I don't think it's the reason for the failing but it doesn't hurt.
I also believe it's a bootloader problem.

im using the jamaican dmc1 rom since yesterday.. i flashed the one i got from the android development thread.. the thread that hosts odexed and deodexed stock rooted firmwares..
the jamaican firmware is branded.. digicel if i remember correctly.. though its branded, i didnt notice any carrier apps installed.. just the carrier boot animation.. so i just installed the stock boot animation and now i have an unbranded rom..

haven't really noticed anything drastic.. but when i was on dmb6, i have 6 shortcuts on the notification panel and it chugs/lags when scrolling to the left whenever i pull the tray down.. and here on dmc1 its not happening.. i didn't perform a wipe btw..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I'd installed Jamaican DMC1 from prerooted stock firmwares thread too, after that I've installed polish XEO CSC and the stock boot animations too , and everything works fine. It seems that Wi-Fi problem is fixed now, but I need more time to find it out.

OTA Update

Did anybody upgraded via OTA?
It just appeared on my phone and it's just 9,2 MB.
Is it ok? Is it safe?

Can you post some details about the update?? Is it system update or just some apps?

OTA update done, 3 minutes.
Now on .434.

Mine already was .434 but reading this thread I plugged in "update service" to check.
Right now I'm on a long 703.3MB update.

Really?, did you update yet?, to which version?, which region is your phone?

Nothing for india

after 40 minutes updating it installed OK, I booted the phone and got "updating android: optimizing app 2 of 2" then "launching apps"
checked in settings "about phone", nothing changed in versions. I assume "update service" can't do partial updates as OTA do.

Yes! My phone is Poland Generic, after I flashed it by Flashtool, originally got that from TMobile PL.
I downloaded the 9,2MB file and than the update process which you start manually was like 2 minutes lol.
Just rebooted itself, optimized apps and voila.
Version now - .434.
THAN I got some Sony apps and widgets upgrades - weather, new app world clock, top contacts.

Never said you did. I just asked the question. As there is now talk of a patch for the current firmware. The link to the thread is further up this thread. And was hopeful that it was starting to roll out.
