Help! Xperia play original firmware

Hey guys.
This is my first post here, so i apologize if i put this thread at the wrong place..
Anyway.. I Recently flashed the official ICS Beta ROM to my phone..
And now i want to go back to the original 2.3.4 firmware... BUT...
Then i realized that i forgot to backup the old files..
So here is the thing. To be able to replace software i flashed the new files boot.img and userdata.img from the package from Sony...
Can anyone help me getting those two files back so that i can go back to original software?
Just find the FTF file for the 2.3.4 firmware that you need, then flash it in Flashtool
If you need the firmware check my signature.

[Q] Modem update

Does the new 2.18 firmware come with a modem update? If so, what exactly is the modem firmware file called when I unzip the whole package? And I assume, just by flashing system.img we wouldn't get the modem updated, correct?

Flashing echoe rom & then updating to the latest stock firmware

hey guys,
i will be flashing Echoe Zen Rom v3 [2.20.40.165] which is the latest rom & will then flash the latest kernel available (Ael Zen v3.5) which was released yesterday... The only doubt i have here is if i flash this rom will be able to flash the latest stock firmware from asus? and if yes how can i flash it... I have seen people having issues with twrp & updating stuff so do i also have to edit the updater script? Please someone enlighten me on this issue of updating to latest stock rom after flashing echoe rom... I know the flashing of entire rom i.e boot.img, system.img etc with adb but is there any other way like ota or flashing directly of stock rom via twrp? i dont wanna edit the updater script & stuff everytime we get an update...
The best way back to complete stock is to use root with CWM recovery and flash the stock zip from your external SD card as the phone goes back to complete stock. Bootloader is locked again after you do this.

Modem / Kernel / IMEI / Stock rom 4.4.2

I'm using note 2 stock rom version 4.1.2 baseband DXDLK7 but I flashed DXDLK5 to fix problem about SOS Call only , the problem is when I flash stock rom 4.3 or 4.4.2 I got SOS only problem again and I stuck in 4.1.2 forever . I flashed modem MJ9 but still not work , and all modem download link in this forum died since hotfile server down . All new custom rom such as lolipop and marshmallow require baseband modem XXUFND3 but i can't go to that modem because SOS Call problem . So how can I fix this problem ? Thanks
Make EFS backup and then:
Download firmware from sammobile for your device i.e. N7100.
Install 7zip to extract it and copy SBOOT. and modem, then use 7zip again and pack (*.tar) those files separately, so you will have sboot.tar and modem.tar
sboot is the bootloader and modem is...modem.
Use Odin to flash modem and bootloader in download mode, then use also Odin to flash TWRP.
Then go to recovery mode and install your ROM using instructions in ROM thread (1st post).
You have to know that stock ROMs are identified by letters and numbers, the newest is probably OE1, I used bootloader and modem from French ROM.
