[Nabeel · Accepted solution]

4.0.3 - 4.1.a.0.562

4.0.4 - 4.1.b.0.431 & 4.1.b.0.587

4.0.4 includes bug fixes, is a lot more smoother stable , gaming is better and etc

when i upgrade by flashtool, it will be out of warranty? do i must be root?

[Nabeel]

Using flashtool may void the warranty.

No you don't need to root. It's for users who want to modify their software etc

Nabeeeelll! Mate u re great helper.! I wanna ask last question? Whats ur choose GB or ICS 4.0.4? Whic one?

With all the software bugs in ICS for 2011 Xperias, I wonder why Sony doesn't give us the possibility to downgrade these devices via PCC or SUS!?

[gkslhzlkl]

I havent any idea. But Sony had been failed with ICS, and doesnt update JB for 2011.

[Nabeel]

Ofcourse ICS.

Install ICS and root it. remove bloatware and you're all set to ENJOY
