What is Generic Firmware and Firmware? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I downloaded Sony official GB and two ICS firmwares, GB and one ICS .ftf firmware only display its a "Firmware", but one ICS ftf file display its a "Generic Firmware". So what is the different between firmware and generic firmware? Is it only a name? I download those ftf files XDA forum.
Thanks!

i think Generic Firmwares re firmwares dat can be used on mobile phones in any country but Firmware re Variant types dat cant be used out a specific region!

you will get your answer over hear http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/26173

Great news... Dont know whether to wait or grab another region ICS.. but mostly they are just the same... Nordic version will be fine....
So who is going to uplad the ftf file for new release?
Anybody got this update?
great who can upload tft file?
wehoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat news
So I assume this would really be similar to the leaked ICS rom? Can I use the .ftf file for flashing my phone which has an unlocked bootloader? Thanks.
Hmm, still no notification here. By the way, will I get the notification even if I'm not on stock kernel? I'm on stock rom though.
Please anyoe from denmark, sweden, nordic, norway
PLEASE ANYOE FROM DENMARK, SWEDEN, NORDIC, NORWAY, if you have match SI number, please update your phone and give us your .ftf file
please help us that came from another country
"The software will initially be made available for Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray for consumers in Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Norway. For the above models, the software rollout will continue over the next 4-6 weeks, becoming available in other global markets – we will update you here on the blog when additional markets can upgrade."
Can't wait or the ftf file But to be honest, if the firmware number is 562 than i'll stay longer with current one then..
Could there be some way to make PC Companion think we are from one of these countries and with one of those serial numbers? Dunno, maybe with a combination of swedish proxy + some way to change the serial number (memory editor maybe?).

i am using nordic version in India since 10 days!!
will now move to Indian ICS
Could anybody, with indian ICS, check if is avaliable at "settings" --> "more" or "other" --->"mobile networks": any checkbox about "national roaming" or something like that???
GB Global firm, has both checkboxes: roaming data AND national roaming data.
however, nordic firm, has not second one.
Thanks in advance

its like this:
i dont have the firmware i had originally with phone backed up.
after flashing few GB roms + ICS nordic my phone is "nordic" branded.
i want to find my original firmware if possible and update that to ICS.
all i know is that the SI number on sticker behind the battery isnt the same one as showed in *#*#7378423#*# - service info - software info -> phone software version.

[Q] SEUS Update of other Country ROM

I flashed MT11i_4.1.B.0.431_Customized Central Europe 3.ftf to my Neo V.
Now i want to ask if i update my phone using PCC or SEUS then which one i ll get, Indian Or the same europian (I am in India).
and if i get europian update (in case), what should i do to get Indian Official Update from sony.
Sorry If I asked the same question but i didnt find satisfying answers?
Thanx
I don't think, there will any Update release from Sony anymore, but to answer your question goto
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690
download your indian FTF file & Flash it using flash tool.
and you will get indian region update from Sony (if they release any)
there's an easy way too, just change the CDF Number to "1254-8478" from your europian CDF number in your build.prop
Reinstalling

But i can reinstall the software through SEUS as repair option, then i ll get the indian software through it or it will re install the europian?
if you use indian FTF and repair then you will get Indian rom,
but if you choose to change the numbers from build.prop and repair, then i am not sure but I believe you will get the indian rom.
Thanx

I am sorry for creating another thread however, as i mentioned in this thread my Acro S is dead and will probably need to be flashed however i lost the ftf i had + the fact that it was Russian as i couldn't find the international, now after doing some searching i discovered that the only other one posted in this forum is Malaysian all the rest are Xperia S ftf and if i flash one of those the SD card won't function, so please can a good kind person post the latest international ftf for the Acro S so that it may help me and others in the future?
