I m on Mooded 90.4 using base .431 firmware!
I think of moving from ICS to Stock GB .62 firmware but when i flash the .62 firmware using flashtool, i get an error saying that flashing has been canceled and when i select the firmware in the flash mode section,nothing shows up on the right ! (for eg. Exclude kernel,baseband like that all the options are unavailable)
But when i flash any other ICS ftf file it flashes properly!
Is the prob is with flashtool?
I m using the latest version of flashtool!
Note: The .62 ftf file is not corrupted, it worked with previous versions of flashtool(eg. with 0.7.0 one)
Gb ftf needs flashtool 0.6.9. /0.7.0
Ics needs 0.8.0 /0.8.5
So downgrade flashtool to flash Gb ftf

the .62 firmware cannot be rooted hence i wuld any day suggest ou to flash a rom . while on he other hand, acronium is a excellent rom and is very battery efficient
@link-in,
He's got an unlocked bootloader. Rooting the .62 isn't going to be an issue.

and sorry for ask alot
Solved
1. Unlock the Bootloader
2. Install Doomlord Stock Kernel 1.6 ( Pre rooted)
3. Install .62 stock Kernel from .ftf file (Root remains from Doomlord Stock Plus Kernel 1.6 even after installing .62 Rom kernel agian)
4. Re-lock the bootloader with the help of Flashtool.
5. You have Stock ROM rooted and with locked bootloader.
....Worked like Charm for me on my Arc s (LT18i, .62 ROM)
thanks
so what is the differnt between .62 and .42
btw i root my .42
All the Rooting Exploits don't work on .62 ROM as of now......Hence either you need to follow the trick I have mentioned or else roll back to .42........However there is no significance difference between .62 and .42................I am waiting for Official ICS
There's a better memory management according to people here

I've flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware on my Xperia PLAY. but it won't boot. then I've try to flash the other firmware (which is 4.0.2.A.0.62), it normal and working. my question is, why my Xperia PLAY does not boot on 4.0.2.A.0.42?
Do you use flashtool? It may be that the .42 ftf is corrupted and the .62 one not. Did you flash other .42 ftf´s from different sources? Because for me, it worked when i wanted to downgrade to .42 for testing purpose.

What would be the best way to run stock 2.3.4 rooted on an R800i? The stickies are outdated around here and all root methods I've seen refer to 2.3.3 or 2.3.2.
Would the best way be to root on 2.3.3 then update to 2.3.4 OTA and use something like OTA rootkeeper if I want to keep the stock kernel?
If I am unlocked can I just ftf or update to the current stock firmware and then fastboot a kernel with root built in like doomlords kernel? Is that the best method if you want a custom kernel but stock 2.3.4?
Really I am looking for the best way to run stock rooted 2.3.4 with a stock kernel and with a custom kernel to compare.
Yeah, you can flash any stock rom using a ftf file and then update the phone to the latest version with OTA or PC Companion, but i think neither of them works if your bootloader is unlocked. In this case you must find a ftf file with the latest 4.0.2.A.0.62. I found it on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409355

Hello,
i'm sorry if the question has already posted but i still haven't understood what to do.
I'd like to try a modded .200 rom and i'm driving an EOS rom at the moment.
What i've read is that to installa a .200 i need to go back to .55, root it, install original .200, roor&recovery and then install my preferred rom.
What i'm asking, is there a way to straight install a .200 rom? If i download a .200 original .ftf, can i flash it over my EOS rom, root it and then install my preferred rom without going trough a .55 rom?
Doesn't a .ftf install also the baseband and kernel?
Thanks

You don't have to do all that. Since you are using EOS rom , your boot loader must be unlocked so just download the .200 ROM and a .200 kernel like doom kernel or trinity kernel. Place both on your SD card. Then first flash the kernel in cwm. Then reboot and again enter cwm. Do all your wipes and flash the ROM. And yes, ftf installs the baseband also.

I want to flash PLAY's ICS beta ROM.
Sony says that I have to flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 build version ROM.
I used to flash PLAY's .58, .62, .69, .79 ROMs.
So I found .42 ROM and try to flash with flashtool.
But..? there is no file in firmware list of .42 ROM.
Is there other how to flash .42 ROM?
Thanks for listening and your advice.
Open .42.ftf with 7zip or whatever, find the .42 file name and delete it. Than u can flash it. Good luck.
