There is no OTA update for the arc from GB to ICS. You will have to either flash it using FlashTool or through SEUS or PC Companion.

If you re-locked your Arc's Bootloader, yes, you can update to 4.0.4 OTA if your SI matched with the ones in the list here: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/38387
If not, don't worry, I believe you will get it soon.

Edit: you need to restore your ROM to stock (GB) too, as ROM cook not really compatible with official OTA

OTA is Over The Air. There WILL NOT be any OTA update from GB to ICS!!!

ICS is a totally different version of Android. It's not something that can be added to GB like functionality etc. This will have to be done using your computer.

Really? so there will be no update OTA methods for Arc? Cos I just saw my friend update his HTC Sen XL from GB to ICS by OTA a few mins ago!

Well, that is what Sony announced. HTC may do things differently.

Why don't you flash the 4.0.4 fw using Flashtool? Head over to the General section and download the link from there.

Cheers!
