I have the same phone got it in japan from a friend Xperia acro so-02c, and since NTT DOCOMO hasn't pushed the 4.0 upgrade and won't, i have been trying to find a way to upgrade for some time now, the ONLY way i have found so far after searching tons of forums (usually japanese) i have found only one way to flash a new verson of undroid and it worked, but i couldn't root it using the doomlord's toolkit (i could root it using doomlord while the phone was flashed with the original docomo ics .9).
This is the answer i found, since i have seen some other posts on this subject, decided to give you the whole other forum copy/paste.
The original was in vietnamese , hence the google translation of the post:
(I tryed this with a newer version of flashtool but it didnt work for some reason, though i am a tottal noob so that also might be the problem, but the 0.7.0 version worked like a charm)
Guide update sony ericson Arco from-02c to Ics 4.0 world Lt18i.
So-02C currently no official version of ICS 4.0. But I can guide you to update the So-02c on the ICS 4.0.3 version arc s Lt18i.
Please note, read the directions carefully before making, I tried on two machines. I do not take responsibility for these incidents occur during up room.
1-Preparing the
PC Companion
Generic Nordic ICS Xperia Arc S firmware ( LT18_4.1.A.0.562_NCB.ftf )
FlashTool 0.7.0.0 (FlashTool 0.6. 9.1, update.zip)
SO-02C_4.0.1.C.1.9_docomo.ftf
Machine Xperia acro Compared-02c
Cable USB
2-Conduct
+ Install Pc Companion
+ Unzip Flashtoot 0.7.0.0, run the file to install FlashTool- 0.6.9.1-Windows.exe. Unzip the update.zip file, overwriting the entire new data extract the folder install of flashtool, usually in the path C: \ Flashtool
+ Copy 2 LT18_4.1.A.0.562_NCB.ftf files vàSO -02C_4.0.1.C.1.9_docomo.ftf on the folder C: \ Flashtool \ firmwares
+ In C: \ Flashtool run file flashtool.exe (win 32) or flashtool64.exe (win 64).
Flashtool will confirm the version has been updated to ver 0.7.0.0
Click Flash (lightning bolt icon), select Flashmode
Select LT18i 4.1.A.0.562 GenericNCB. Built choose three items: wipe user data, wipe cache, no final verification check as shown. Press ok.
Table inform
you turn off the power over-02c go, wait about 10 seconds. Hold the back button. Then start cable plug. Flash will start the process, you do not hold back anymore, flashtool run until the message appears as shown below
Disconnect the cable from the so-02c, but not turn on the light.
continue to select Flash as a first, and then select SO-02C 4.0.1.C.1.9 DOCOMO. Built select 2 items Exclude system, Exclude Kenel as shown below
Click ok, and then continue to do the above steps until Flash is finished.
Unplug the cable out, turn on, thrill to phone waiting for, for a long time, do not panic. And this is the result ^ ^
So-02c ran Ics 4.0 of the Lt18i
Note: Some features will not be used but no problem
+ Infrared
+ SEG (Japanese TV)
+ Felica (in Japan nodules)
Overall this is a very worthwhile upgrade, Ram released quite a lot, carefree setting.
Worked like a charm.
now running 4.0.3 android .562 firmware but cant root it using doomlord's toolkit so if anyone has got a workaround for this, I'd be more than gratefull..
EDIT managed to root it using the doomlords xperia 2011 toolkit...
Hi everyone,
I am trying to upgrade my 2.1Android to the 2.3.5 with Dual Touch (MiniCM7Pro_V21), untill now the problem is that i can't install Xrecovery,
the problem i'm facing is this ERROR while trying to install xrecovery:
21/046/2011 13:46:14 - ERROR - cannot stat '.\devices\U20\bootkit\bootkit.tar': No such file or directory
My telephone is an X10 Mini Pro, Build-nr: 2.0.A.0.504 and I think that is the problem.
I've already tried to use the "All in one X10MiniPro" software, is says everything has been installed including xrecovery, but still phone won't show the boot screen after pressing the "Back" button.
If then everythin works I can start worrying about the Querty/Azerty problem it will couse
Hi all,
when i use S Xperia tipo, quite often i have problem with something write there. if i want to answer on message on viber, or i try to looking for some contact in contacts list or i want to type sms, this programs are shut down immediately without warnings, and switch it to main menu (homepage). when keyboard was appear, program is shut down.
thanks
First off all, do u have an Xperia tipo or an Xperia S?
This is probably a software bug
Try repair via pc companion if your bootloader is still locked
Or flash ftf via flashtool

Hi I'm using android emulator and it works correctly. I want to emulate an Xperia model, the device runs correctly but when I check the device name in parameters there no name, no IMEI. I want to use an application that will fully play only on an xperia model although the application runs perfectly on any android phone, it needs to be Xperia to fully unlock all the options. How can I make the device be recognized as an Xperia?
Thanks
I'm a Z1 user about to buy a Z5. Today I've built a new PC & when i went to install PC Companion from the Z1 or download it says I need to update it before using & then crashes. I've since worked out that Sony has released Xperia Companion but that doesn't appear to have all the features that PC Companion had, especially contacts / calendar sync. No sync, whats the use.
Someone help a bloke out URGENTLY.

Sorry, i didn't make my point properly. Sony have removed the back end support for PC Companion so when the old version goes to ping the server & grab the updates that server no longer exists & thats why the whole thing keels over. Sony has screwed us. And I cannot find a newer version than 2.10.259 anywhere online. Stuffed if i can even work out what the latest version was, before Sony took it all down & brought out Xperia Companion, which is really only a software updater / backup client.
why dont you use your email account to backup calendar and contacts?

Like @spaha-bih says, use your Google email account.
To elaborate: Sync your Z1 email account with G-Drive, when setting up your new Z5 say yes to transfer data from old device and follow instructions.
It doesnt solve your issue with PC Companion vs Xperia Companion but at least all your data is transfered.
