[Q] SE ICS 4.0.3 Stock for ST18i 1251-4132

[koolomzy]

I have been playing with my Xperia Ray for sometime now,
from
1. SE Stock 2.3.4 1251-4132
2. SE ICS Beta
3. SE Stock 4.0.3 (ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332).ftf)
4. Downgraded to ST18_4.0.1.A.0.62 (UK)_(1252-3323).ftf
5. Re-locked bootloader
6. SEUS Re-Install to Stock Version 4.0.2.A.0.62 1252-3323...

Now the issue is ???
there is no SEUS / Sony Update for ICS Officially .. it says Gingerbread is latest firmware, if you need to re-install repair phone.

How do i go back to my original SE Stock 2.3.4 1251-4132 and upgrade it to ICS 4.0.3 SE Stock 1251-4132 ???

Please advise ?

People are getting ICS over OTA / PC Companion

Dear All

Please help me on this one, how can I upgrade to ICS SE Stock 4.0.3 1251-4132 with PC Companion / OTA ????

I'm pretty sure you can't until ICS is released in your country.

Post this in Q and A thread
Anyway, you have to flash ics. Ftf file via flash tool.there is no option for you to update via PCcompanion

EDIT:-You can update with pcc but you have to edit build.prop
