Use wotan, use .62 fw as it's global, or try 4se simlock.com

Hello,
You should see this thread

@ OP:
You know that you can't put a custom kernel in the file?
For custom kernels you need an unlocked bootloader

Im not trying to put custom kernel,im trying to put .283 kernel,i read that it will reduce bterry drain.
NVM,i recently discovered that u can actually extract the ftf using 7zip so that it will appear as files before bundle creation.
However,my bttery drain still the same. The battery can only last 7hours something the longest. I even flash the 36 and 64 baseband and their libs but still dont change. I saw some people battery last for a day,i dont know why my battery still dont last

[q] How to downgrade from ICS to gingerbread

Hi,
I have looked around the forum and read a few threads about downgrading. I just need to make sure that my understandings are correct before I decide to flash it.
1- download flashtool, 6.x version because the 8.x version only works on ICS.
2- download ftf for gingerbread, im trying to downgrade to .42 for root, would there be any complications regarding the 0% battery issue?
Do note that im on stock ics with root now, what risks do I have with flashing now?
Also, if I bring the phone to a Sony store, would they be able to flash the .42 version? Or would they just flash the latest gingerbread version ?
Thank you for the advice

Hy ! Your method is correct ! .42 not cause 0% (tested me too)
Downgarde from ics with root not have any risk! Pc companion use it to(like flashtool)
In the sony store very likely that they will give you ICS or the latest GB (not .42) .
I have done this many times and no harm(From rooted ICS to .42)
If j help you please hit thanx !!!

Any link for the ftf file? I downloaded one last night but since it wasnt from xda, I have reserves about it.
Edit: also, do I have to enable anything on flash tool? I read about no final verification check or something. What needs to be checked off on flash tool?
Also, after I flash gb, can I do a pc companionship repair ?

[Q] 4.0.2.A.0.84 ftf?

Could someone make an ftf of 4.0.2.A.0.84 firmware?

FTF can only be made by Sony. Perhaps someone can make a flashable zip

In flashtool you can make an .FTF bundle by decrypting an existent firmware download...

Try emma

well then.... maybe a cwm flashable one?

If it is not an Unlocked bootloader, forget the NANDROID backup/restotre

I assumed that he can't boot the phone. My mistake, sorry!
And besides he can, of course, install CWM through X-Parts, it would be equally useless if he want to restore a NANDROID under locked bootloader...
Tried on my old NEO, and awfully failed in bootloops...

So all you have to do is to update software, install CWM, and make a NANDROID backup of the new ROM...

Emma only recognizes xperias' ftf thqt are stock and what they originally released for the device.

Enma is a Sony's tool. So don't expect it to handle FTF bundles. Only their own propietary bundles.

I would make one, if Sony would release it to me aswell.
Some users reported receiving it already, however I have not.
