Il Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc potrebbe ricevere molto presto l’aggiornamento del proprio sistema operativo ad Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Il motivo? La casa produttrice ha pubblicato un video ufficiale, riguardante il modello caratterizzato dal suddetto OS, senza dimenticare la pubblicazione di una guida riguardante il download della prima ROM, disponibile ad un pubblico di soli sviluppatori.
Questi i passi citati da Sony Ericsson:
1. Make sure your phone is running the latest software release, which is build number 4.0.2.A.0.42. If not, upgrade your phone through PCCompanion. If you can’t upgrade to this build number, it is not possible to try the Ice Cream Sandwich alpha ROM for Xperia™ phones.
2. Go to unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com and unlock the boot loader of your phone. To do this, you must read through and agree to all the legal and warranty conditions that apply.
3. Download the Ice Cream Sandwich alpha ROM for Xperia™ arc S (132MB), the Ice Cream Sandwich alpha ROM for Xperia™ neo V (131MB) or the Ice Cream Sandwich alpha ROM for Xperia™ ray (132MB) depending on your phone model.
4. Extract the downloaded zip file to your Android Fastboot directory. For example: ..\android-sdk\fastboot\Xperia_arcS_ICS_alpha.
5. Open a command prompt and go to your Fastboot directory: ..\android-sdk\fastboot\
6. Flash the three alpha ROM files one at a time using Fastboot. Use these three commands (replace the folder name if you are using Xperia™ neo V or Xperia™ ray):
– fastboot flash boot ..\Fastboot\Xperia_arcS_ICS_alpha\boot.img
– fastboot flash userdata ..\Fastboot\Xperia_arcS_ICS_alpha\userdata.img
– fastboot flash system ..\Fastboot\Xperia_arcS_ICS_alpha\system.img
7. Once done, please reboot your phone.
