[Q] [Help] Rom Forced Reset

Hi all this is my first post.
Yesterday I flashed a rom (can't remember the Name) and my phone got stuck on the Sony Ericsson screen. From Flashtool I re-Flashed The stock kernel and my phone worked again, only my phone was unrooted, all my apps were gone and it wouldn't load cwm recovery, which has a backup of my phone before with all my apps, contacts and stuff. it also has nxtBeAn rom on the SD card that I installed and disliked.
Please help me to somehow root my phone again (DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su failed to root it and so did Gingerbreak V4) so I can get all my contacts, messages, apps and passwords back.
Thanks

I think you flashed. 62 frmw, it can't be rooted go flash lower one eg: .42 or. 58(420mb data partition) then root

You can try this modded stock kernel with recovery to restore the backup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421978

sadly it didn't work. I tried flashing 4.0.2.A.0.42 and when the phone booted in the about phone it still says im on .62 build number and 2.6.32.9-perf kernel version.
I then tried flashing 4.0.1.A.0.283 and it Still says im on .62.
Not sure how to overwrite with a rootable build number and kernel.

[Q] how to create ftf of the modified OS?

Hey guys is there a way to create an ftf file of the OS in my phone ? I want to make the ftf of the xperia ultimate hd with all the mods that i've flashed in it...!! i have googled my question but all i get is how to make an ftf of the stock firmware using SUS (Sony Update Service)
Phone: Xperia Arc S (Lt18i)

No you cannot because ftfs can only be made by Sony for stock firmware.

tangosierra_ is correct.
The closest thing you could do is to create a full system backup using CWM and keep a copy of it somewhere else in addition to the SD Card just in case. It worked fine for me.

First flash stock Kernel, and then Relock, If you relock/upgrade your FW, before reverting to stock kernel, your phone might soft-brick..

[Q] How to revert back to Stock

Hi guys, I'm rooted and still on 4.2.2 at the moment with dual recovery installed. I just want to make a complete restore of the phone, getting rid of the recovery and root along the way. Can someone tell me if this is possible? On my old G Pad, I could just use the LG Mobile Support Tool which was very simple. Is there a similar way for the Xperia Z1 Compact?

I went from cm11 to 4.4.2 I just flashed the z1c stock 4.4.2 ftf with flashtool and everything was back normal, no recovery and not rooted
You need to get the 4.2.2 ftf for your phone and flash that,

i managed to return to stock 4.2.2 with the Sony PC Companion. Then I tried to flash the stock 4.4.2 with Flashtool but then I just get stuck into a boot loop after that. Could you let me know how you did it?

Try and flash again. I originally unlocked the bootloader then went from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 with flash tool

Thanks for your reply. I managed to get it to work after flashing the file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687324 using flashtool. Cheers!

Is there a pre-rooted 0.182 stock ftf from available?

I didn't like my T2 ultra until 5.1.1 (19.4.A.0.182) stock rom came along...it gave the buggy phone a new lease.
I like to root it via flashtoo ftf file. Does anyone has one to share? Also pls advise the steps...do I need to unlock bootloader first? Do I need to install recovery?
I wanted to root to remove bloatwares and use app2sd to install apps.
By the way Xperia Z already has a pre-rooted stock rom ftf.
Thanks!
