[Q] Is there a 4.0.2.A.0.58 ftf ready for R800i?

Hi!
I tried to flash the 4.0.2.A.0.58 from the 15i, but with that i get no service and the screen is acting funny.
Is there a 4.0.2.A.0.58 ftf ready for R800i? I read about better Battery Life in the 58, so i want to give it a try.
Greetings
MrMmmkay

Have you tried flashing it with WotanServer? Seems that version is available on there

Ok, i see. Wotan Server is new for me, but i can choose the 58 , just downloading.

i've got engough for having the message nem firmware available and when download it EIF go to install and says can't install.... F****
sorry for my english and keep on XDA Forum. Sony Ericsson should learn with XDA Team and all the people that help !!!!

I think that the only .58 firmware out right now is for Hong Kong at least it was when I checked yesterday
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

There are many languages in the HK Firmware to, so this shouldt work .
It seems i cant use the Wotan files. There seems to be no way to convert the Wotan Files to use with Flashtool.
I dont want to wipe my Userdata, so i have to use the Flashtool, on Wotan there is no Option to disable wiping Userdata as far as i know .
So, is their a Flastool ready ftf File for R800i anywhere?

[Q] Help! Flashing a French model to UK stock

So I received my Arc S today in the UK, and it's a French model - I knew it'd be a European model of some sort when I ordered, so that's fine.
But even though I've set the language to English, I'm still finding a few things in French and it seems like my UK network can't detect what phone I have, and I'm unable to get a data connection.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to flash a generic stock or O2-UK stock rom to it please? I used to have a HTC Sensation and have experience rooting and custom rom'ing with that. My current build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42.
Do I root and flash the stock firmware from this page?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204302
So to build number 4.0.A.2.368, to be clear. Will that give me all the generic/UK stock options instead of French video services, Canal+ and Jeux Gameloft?! I really don't need a custom rom, in fact I want it to be as much like I've just bought it from a UK supply as possible and don't even need rooting or the bootloader unlocked at the end of it if that can be avoided.
Your help is much appreciated in advance!

Thanks! It doesn't seem to have a generic UK firmware - only Central Europe 1/2/3 without listing the difference - but I've emailed Wotanserver to see if they can advise.
Is their method safe, do you know?

Arc S stock rom

Is it possible to reinstall the completely stock rom for the xperia Arc S after I've unlocked my bootloader and tried several custom roms? like Miui and CM.
Thank you

Yes, you can install stock rom without any problems.

And where can I get it? the links I saw in a different thread are all broken...
If anyone who has the Rom could host it somewhere I would appreciate it

You can use flashtool programm you will find the firmware in the thread just search it and flash whatever firmware you want you can't update via ota/pc if bootloader is unlock(first you must locked again) or if you change something from /system
i hope i help you.

Thing is I dont have the fw I want, only have custom roms, and all the links are broken (they were from multiupload), so I would like someone to upload them again.
Thank you all for your help

It looks useful for all who's lookin for the original ROM.

Thanks guys, that worked perfectly.
One last question is Waton server always updated? I mean do they supply all the new roms? ICS is coming out soon for the xperia arc s

I have wiped all my system & dont have backup.
I Have Xperia Arc S LT18i
SI 1254-9037
But could not find the exact firmware sor SI 1254-9037 (this is Saudi Arabia sales item)
I found below ones to download, whic one will be proper for Turkey? And will it be a problem to flash?
4.1.B.0.587
Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (4.0.4) (1254-2716)
or
4.1.B.0.431
Generic Trade Turkey (4.0.4) (1254-2233)

Central Europe is made up of the following.....
Germany
Poland
Czech Republic
Slovakia
Switzerland
Austria
Slovenia
Hungary
But it will work on your device (its the update to 4.1.B.0.431)
If you want your fone back to original then stick with the Generic Trade Turkey file as Im not sure if you've had the update over there yet

Thank you wolf_b
indeed, this phone comes from Saudi Arabia
SI 1254-9037 (this is Saudi Arabia sales item) But also have Turkish language option.
But I couldnt find anything original about it, neither gingerbrea nor ICS.
So I just want to be sure, if anything negative will be happen if I flash a different SI distribution.
This is the question: If no problem, I downloaded Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (4.0.4) (1254-2716),
this is the latest ICS update of Sony. I guess it will also have Turkish Option!
What do you suggest?

[Q] Noob needs help finding correct FW to debrand xperia z1 compact.

Hi all,
I'm new here, I stumbled across your site when I was looking for some info on how to debrand my xperia z1 compact that's coming from o2 Ireland. I want to get rid of all the o2 branding and bloadware stuff on it and have it as a clean phone.
I saw the tutorial that has been posted up on xperiablog about unbranding an xperia Z using flashtool, seems straightforward enough.
But I don't know what the correct fw version I need to flash it with, and if it's even here to download?
Like I said, the phone is an o2 Ireland branded phone and locked to o2 Ireland too.
Can anyone help me, point me in the right direction? I'm totally new to this and don't want to mess up my phone!
Thanks

Any in the resource thread.

Can you point me in the right direction to the one I need? There's lots of different versions and I'm not sure what is the latest one and what one I need for my country? Like I said the phone is an o2 Ireland branded phone, so what version firmware I need, that's what I'm not sure about.
Is there a main European version firmware? or do I use the UK one? I'm just looking for the OFFICIAL stock firmware that hasn't been altered in any way.

Great, thanks so much for your help.
Just a few more questions before I do this...
This fw contains the latest android software right? And if I install this fw and the phone is locked to o2 Ireland, it will still be locked after I install the latest original stock fw? I'm not sure if it unlocks the phone too if I get rid of the network providers software that's already on the phone right now.

Kind of obvious, I get not wanting to break your Phone but that's just what you will do if you don't read things properly.

Your patience is legend

Fastest and safest way to remove bloat is as follows:
1. Root
2. Buy/get Titanium Backup Pro
3. Freeze all bloatware.
4. ??
5. Profit

How do I upgrade ("flash"??) from 5.0

My M5 E5653 still has Android 5.0. Software update, nor Xperia companion show new updates available. Does not seem like my carrier, Vodafone Australia, will be updating it anytime soon or at all.
I am not familiar with flashing, rooting, or what a bootloader is. To make it simple, Is there a way I can upgrade from Android 5.0 to whichever is the latest available for the M5?
Of course, if there is, I understand as someone who's not familiar with this, that is it at my own risk following instructions on how to do so

if xperia companions (restore firmware) not upgrade to 5.1
then see howto flash with flashtool

Thanks. Where can find that?? Not quite sure which other thread explains that for my situation

hi, sorry bad english, i just upgraded my phone, just download latest flasthool and firmware whith xperyafirm, create bundle but say yes when it ask use FSC script, and just install normaly

Your English was fine. Thank you for that help

EDIT

Flashed and working. Thanks for the help!!
