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.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
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 have a nandroid backup of the .42 gb rom and im currently on stock ICS.
When i restore the .42 rom i cant start my wifi, as the kernal remains of ICS.
I have a locked bootloader, Arc S.
Can I just flash the kernal after restoring .42?
And can someone plz explain how i do this?
And if i need just a kernal file can someone plz gimme the link for it?
Thanx...
Use "repair phone" in PC Companion, it'll remove everything and flash rom, correct kernel etc.
Pc companion is not detecting my phone when i restore .42

Can u provide me with a .42 ftf ? Im sorry, cant seem to find one. Dont want to use wontan. Im stuck on ICS. Any help would be nice plz.
Most stock roms are here
Usually the resources for ARC/ARC S are in the "Xperia Arc General" Section
And from unlocked bootloader? Can do directly with FlashTool or first I have to flash the Stock Kernel?
Downgrade from nandroid
Hi,
I have a xperia neo....with rooted stock firmware .62 and unlocked bootloader (testpoint method)...I have taken a nandroid backup of it
I just wanted to try out ics...so planning to update using PCcompanion
Before updating...i just want to know
1. whether it's possible to downgrade to gb through cwm nandroid restore? Do I need to flash the kernel for .62 after the nandroid restore ?
2. will root access be restored after the downgrade? Since .62 is cannot be rooted, I'll have to flash .42 to get root access
I don't want to start restoring all the installed apps...hence thinking of using nandroid backup against flashtool
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.
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.

trying to flash a rom on the latest flashtool just gives me a flashing error and using flashtool .98 it just freezes when processing the loader im on .69 so I need to flash .42 or .62 too root my device apparently as no rooting method seems to work on .69? i tried doomlords and flashtool but they all fail.
