      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please add my SI number (1248-9962) on the ICS update table soon. I have been following the SI numbers thread since last month. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a question - Does my SI number remain the same 'cause I had installed a ftf file with different SI number from the xda-developers forum.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mine is 1248-9962. &lt;IMG class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.rs/html/images/smilies/011.png" alt="Slightly_smiling_Face" title="Slightly_smiling_Face" /&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please answer my question.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(Pardon my bad English)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
