This works on ANY Xperia arc.
Your arc does NOT have to be rooted.
Your arc does NOT have to be bootloader unlocked.
This does NOT re-lock a SIM unlocked phone (unlocking is ONCE and PERMANENT).
This does NOT unlock your bootloader.
This WILL wipe your phone & root. Backup first.
You MUST have BOTH PC Companion and Update Service installed. MIRROR: http://jp1.ca/androidstuff

wow, a rogers branded 2.3.4?? holy shizz hell must have frozen over.
going to try this now.

Thanks! Been waiting months for this!

How is the signal on this rom for a rogers branded arc?? I have the world generic rom on my phone now and under battery use graph it shows 80% RED no signal....I wonder if the rogers rom for a rogers branded arc will fix that issue!...

Ive been using this since yesterday afternoon and the signal has been great! I found that with the older fw the phone lost signal from time to time... I also updated via pc companion
Sent from my LT15a using XDA App

this rom has been running pretty good. not sure what tweaks or improvements that this rom uses on the actual rogers branded ARC (or could be placebo effect), but the automatic pick up of rogers signal seems better as the WWW version always has a hard time trying to figure out which carrier to pick when i travel back into canada from the us.
just use titanium back up to get rid of the useless rogers apps and youre good to go!

I am not trying to hijack this thread but maybe ask the OP if you have the Generic North America on .42? I have searched the forum but nothing with Lt15a came up for new result. Also you may add Lt15a to your post title so it comes on search.
Cheers,

Is this the latest Rogers-branded firmware?
I wonder if Rogers is going to offer ICS upgrade.

Which version of the Note did I get ?

Hi Guys and Gals
Was just looking through all the Roms etc.. (more over the Official ones)
and I am not sure which model of note I got sent
I bought it on contract from Dial-a-phone and it was unlocked out of the box.
It did a few updates the day I bought it.
But I'm curious as to which version I got.
More for when ICS does finally get released and hopefully I'll be one of the first not having to wait for Country / Carrier updates.
My phone shows

Which version / country is this for etc...
Is it Europe or Open Europe or some other country that Dial-a-phone got their stock from
by the way what is the difference between Europe and Open Europe ?
I'm not sure which one I should be going by as I have the following -
a baseband that says
N7000XLA4
A Kernal that has N7000XXLA6 in it
and Build number of Gingerbread.XXLA6
I am in the UK by the way
I know when I had my Galaxy S2 I flashed that to open Europe to get rid of the O2 Carrier Garbage
So Don't mind if I have to flash my Note to another one to benefit from a Quicker update to ICS when its released
Though there is no Carrier Bloatware on this at all.
Thanks

Hi there,
I think you are using the Europe Build.
The difference between the Europe and the Open Europe Build is simple:
Open Europe= It's leeked for developers, this Build includes dev tools
Europe = Build for users
That's why I think you are using the Europe Version. I don't think you bought a developers Note with the Open Europe Version. I don't know if this Build is sold at all.
Ok, sounds good then.
Hopefully the Europe version will get an ICS update first being as there's no carrier to wait for.
But then again I have read the UK Unlocked/Sim Free Galaxy S2 is still waiting as apparently Samsung want the carriers to do theirs first and see if any issues come up before they release a Sim Free update as these get used on all networks..
One can only hope this won't be the case with the Note..
europe version
I got the same as you

[Q] Quick firmware question

I just have a quick question about the firmware on my SP (C5302, Bought through Cincinnati Bell and it is carrier locked). I keep seeing things on here about the latest firmware for root and roms etc, so I check mine and its still on 12.0.A.1.257. I have checked via ota and pc companion and it says I am up to date. I have heard the later firmware fixed the weak wifi signal and a few other things. Am I able to use the new firmware or am I stuck on the older one?
If i am able to use the latest firmware what would be the best way to switch to it?.
Thanks in advance

[Q] AT&T Branded Xperia TL to T-Mobile?

Hey guys. I recently unlocked my Xperia TL (LT30at) and want to move over to T-Mobile. Since the bootloader can't be unlocked on this phone, what ROMs would you recommend and how would I set it up to work with the T-Mobile basebands?

I wonder if you can just flash a stock FTF rom (that is, say, generic LT30p) but just exclude the baseband portion - would the rom know to work with the AT&T baseband you're keeping?
I know that with my LT30a (Bell), I can flash generic LT30p FTF stock roms (fully, including the baseband) and still get LTE (by going into the dialer and doing the *#*#4636#*#*, then Phone Info, and choosing LTE/GSM/WCDMA). But -- It's a LT30a, not an LT30at. Is AT&T that specific in their baseband needs?
Sorry if this isn't helpful... but hey, if you have your stock AT&T FTF (which you can find easily in this forum), why not try one? ( a generic LT30p FTF)... I don't think that would brick the phone. If you find it's not working, you can flash back to your AT&T FTF and be back to normal. Just make sure your battery is full before you begin.
Also, if you're going to be flashing FTF's for the first time, read up on everything you need first (base drivers via pc companion? latest flashtool? the drivers that are located in the folder where flashtool is installed? - and if you're using Windows 8 or 8.1, there will be an extra step or 2 to get those flashtool drivers working properly).
I thank you very much for taking the time out to answer my query! Since the phone is AT&T-branded and unlocked, it supports MOST of T-Mobile's basebands AFAIK (some LTE ones aren't supported). Flashing a LT30p stock ROM works, but I'm not sure how well it plays with T-Mobile. That's what I'm trying to figure out here, specifically. This phone has to be one of the most confusing phones I've ever dealt with when it comes to what can and can't be flashed over, having to reflash the Recovery after flashing a ROM, being stuck with a locked bootloader, etc.
Either way, I do wanna keep this thread updated with my findings. I'm spending way too many hours on this phone though, unfortunately. I REALLY wish the bootloader could be unlocked. I'm tempted to sell the thing and buy something a little more open, unfortunately.
EDIT: So I've flashed over this ROM and its nice to get rid of the AT&T bloatware on the phone. I've still gotta look further into alternate ROMs and whatnot. It appears some people have had better luck flashing Europe-based ROMs over to the phone (they support a wider range of basebands).
EDIT2:

Here's the problem: Bands 1700 and 2100mHz aren't showing up, which are needed for 3G/4G on T-Mobile. I know this phone supports them, I'm just not sure what to flash to get them to show up. Also UMTS - BC4 is also necessary for T-Mobile to get anything more than Edge (2G) coverage.

Yes, indeed. The baseband is mainly responsible for your cell phone signal. But it depends on your region, which one's best for you. Basebands aren't usually included in the rom, so you can just go on using your current one, if you don't have any problems. I usually flash the latest stock firmware for my region before flashing the rom and then just leave the baseband. But you could also try flashing one of those: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14273164&postcount=4.

CM11 Nightly
Okay, so can anyone answer this? I've searched quite a bit and I don't have a definitive answer yet.
First off:
- I'm currently with an unlocked Bell Canada GT-I9000M (SGS) but my current carrier is Fido/Rogers.
- The current ROM is an official CM11 nightly ROM (20140513).
- I don't know what the kernel is (or that even matters). Kernel version says 3.0.101-g5fba4f [email protected] #1
My baseband is I9000XXJVT
Now for my question...
I'm finding that my reception is crummy, terrible, just plain bad. I'm losing signal all the time. Can I flash one of these modems using ODIN even though they seem to be "older" modems and CM11 is KK?
My hunch is that I can but I want to bee 100% sure before attempting this.
Cheers,
J.P.

Are you using a device which wasn't offered by your service provider? You may need to flash different firmware.
Did you flash your current FW, or did you receive it via OTA? What is your phone's CSC?
If you flashed it earlier, flash again. If not be patient....

I've never flashed anything, I'm using the phone as I bought it about a year ago. I travel a lot though, so I change sim cards quite frequently.
My CSC is G998BOXM3BUK8

Changing SIM-cards regularly could be the cause...
What is shown under software version under phone info - software details - software version provider? (Or similar menu names) See attached SS.
You could consider flashing latest FW. This threat provides all info...

Here is the service provider info
According to overview on sammobile.com your firmware is indeed up to date for CSC TPA (Panama).
