Just flash the latest ftf file with flashtool. Check the Dev forum for latest stock ROMs. If it's a R800i, the ROMs you want are probably Hong Kong Generic 4.0.2.A.0.58 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375678 or North America Generic 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.42 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326459

do i need an image file to flash
thanks for the quick reply

Yes, that's the downloads in those threads linked. Bare in mind this will wipe your device, so you'll want to do a backup first if you want to save anything

Hey just to let everyone know this method works perfect although lost root ?

Xperia Acro IS11S Stock Kernel....Anyone???

Does anyone have or can possible find a stock kernel for the Xperia Acro IS11S?
I downloaded Doom's custom kernel and it knocked out my phone's service, so I now have no phone!
Any help at all would be vastly appreciated......its urgent!
Use google.
I think (99% sure) that no one from here, and no one on xda dont have that kernel.
Sory mate, you are by your self :/

Its a Jap version, So you might find the Stock Kernel on a Japanese site.
I haven't seen those in XDA.
Download the Firmware, Its in FTF format and Extract it with 7Zip, You will find the Stock Kernel (Kernel.sin) file inside. Flash it in Fastboot mode.
I can send FTF file for you or you can download WOTAN (it is free) an flash your device.
I've also need an original firmware for acro with kernel and system. If anyone can point me in the right direction i will be very grateful because i managed to brick my acro. Thank you so much

I Have 1 Sock Kernal Backed Up..
Android Version 2.3.4
Build Number is 4.0.1.B.0.112
If there's still a need for this,
As I cannot post links or sites, here are almost a site from where I downloaded and flashed mine:
Site:
arkdroid.info/xperia002/
the file is : IS11S_4.0.1.B.0.112_KDDI.ftf
But I tried after flashing the Doom's arc custom kernel and the mobile has some bugs after flashing the original even with the original kernel flashed.
Mine, it doesn't work well the 1seg and SD card doesn't mount...
Trying to figure out a way to fix it...
If someone finds, please tell me.
Thanks

Search around the forum, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of different FTF files available. Go and look for the one that you need.
I need You

[Q] Downgrade my arc s from ics to gingerbread.

I recently upgraded my arc s to ICS beta. Since it has no bluetooth wifi or the android market, i want to downgrade it back to Gingerbread. Can some one please help? ps. stupid me did not make any backup before upgrading..
Thank You.
Have you tried the Official ICS yet? Maybe it will resolve some of the issues you were having.
If you really want to downgrade though, all you have to do is flash the respective ftf file using flashtool. You'll find lots of guides/resources for this in the development section.
I dd not try the official. where can i find it? i installed beta only.
thank you.

if u are trying to say u need the .42 ftf then its in the same link, just scroll down and look for : 4.0.2.A.0.42
Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (2.3.4) (1254-2716)
india generic hardly matters as Central Europe i believe is the same as if u flash this via flash tools. then as the phone will start u will on top get the language "hindi" option aswell or india "english" .. you can root this, then update via wifi to .62 n u will still have root
if u have unlocked ur bootloader make sure u have locked it so u be able to update to .62 via wifi

You can download an official firmware from here

And use flashtool to flash it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000012
A .ftf package always comes with stock kernel, you don't need to install them separately
Thanks for your help
I was search for the stock kernal for along time and didn't know it included in the ftf file
thanks again

U must unlock bootloader first search Google bro
No! For Ice Bean you don't need a unlocked bootloader. You only need root. I had it also on my phone before i unloicked my bootloader and it's the best rom for locked bootloader try it :laugh:

to know which kernel your using got settings--->about
if your on stock rom and you have never flashed any kernel or rom then its the stock sony kernel.
if you want to slash the rom in link just follow the instructions on OP no need to unlock your bootloader for INSTALLING Custom ROM, you need to unlock it mostly for changing to custom kernel (there maybe other exploits to bypass DRM but i dont know of them)
Yep, but for a kernelchange u need unlocked bootloader.

[Q] another noob question

hi everybody,i just bought a z1 compact and allow me some questions cause i m a little confused
1what is the best way to root it and stay with unlock bootloader?
2how can i install custom recovery?
thanks in advance.
Well first of on what firmware are you on? From what I know only v108 KK can be rooted without unlocking bootloader. As for custom recovery look for Nut's recovery for z1c here http://nut.xperia-files.com/

It will probably be on KitKat version. You can follow the guide from here to root KitKat and maintain root on Lollipop.
or use pc companion and update os. After root and install recovery new releases.
