i have GB 2.3.7 - CM7.2 flashed
but i want to go to Arconium 4.0 without going to ICS 4.0.4 first... but before i can do any of this i have to flash baseband .72 ok, but if i flash .72 on GB will i be able to continue to flash the kernel and then boot into CWM and flash the ROM? please reply
NOTE: i really cannot be bothered updating to stock ICS 4.0.4 first, and then updating the baseband to .72 and then installing Arconium 4.0
I think baseband 72 comes with 4.0.4. You might as well flash stock 4.0.4. Only takes a few minutes.
You'll need to flash a custom kernel, if you haven't already. If you have, you can uncheck the kernel option when flashing the Rom.
You should probably be doing a full wipe anyway, to avoid any problems

You actually don`t need to flash bb72 ICS works with older too
But you can flash it with flashtool on GB too.
And youre going to be able to stay on yout CM 7 with bb72 or enter recovery etc
And you dont need to update to official first. Just install Arconium with the right kernel and everything is fine
as far as i can tell, this is what you'll have to do in order to get to acronium 4.0.4.
1)flash ics 4.0.4 on your phone using flashtool
2)now download acronium 4 and put it in your sd card
3)flash the recommended kernel using flashtool/cmd
4)rebooot your phone into recovery
5)wipe data, then wipe cache, then wipe dalvic cache
6)now install the rom on your device.
7)when you boot up the phone, complete the initial setup and check the baseband version
8)now (if you want it so dearly, )flash baseband 72 on your phone.
(just note that flashing a other than stock baseband can harm your phone and basebands are flashed on your rom hence as soon as you change your rom, u lose your baseband)
correct me if i am wrong thanks
(thread closed)
one last question am i able to do this... flash the kernel > then the rom > then flash bb72?
or will i get bootloops from doing that? so is it better to flash bb72 first then the kernel then the rom?

Full stock ROM 6.1.A.2.55 for Acro S with ROOT and CWM
So, its the easiest way to get last stock rom with ROOT.
Installing wintout unlocking bootloader:
At first you need previous rom with ROOT and CWM.
Unzip archive and flash ftf file via flashtool wintout any wipe!
Copy StockRom_6.1.A.2.55+root+cwm.zip mirror on your SD Card and install via CWM. (If you want clean ROM, wipe all before installing)
Done
You can change the order of steps 2 and 3
Testing now. Yesterday, I had to repair my phone (by PC Companion) after trying to root 2.55 firmware
any update on working root on 6.1.A.2.55 LT26W? thanks

thank you sir for the quick reply.

will post as soon as i apply the tutorial to my phone.
im searching for firmware that would make the battery last more. and now currently testing diff custom/orig roms. thanks again
success installing the update firmware without loosing my data and customizations. thanks sir Desperanto86 and ngonchan
note to all that might try...without any wipe!
first thing i noticed is the app Sim Toolkit if missing but the system says its installed.
*#*#7378423#*#*
Rooting Status:
Bootloader Unlocked = Yes
means my bootloader is unlocked right?
can I still flash this ftf file via flashtool? (I heard unlocked phone must not run the OTA update... so I wonder if this has the same effect)
thanks
I finally buckled up my balls and proceeded with flashing this...
but I lost CWM by flashing the .ftf file (I got my CWM previously from this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834129), so eventually I guess - after replacing the kernel(?) I lose the CWM...
so I flashed that kernel with CWM by cobrato again to flash the ROM, it went well
even though I now have .55 ROM + Kernel + Root + CWM & everything, I realize that the kernel by cobrato is slightly older than the one posted by OP

I started with stock 6.A.2.45 with root and CWM, flashed the OP's ftf file without any wipe and CWM still there, then apply the zip and done!
ashy, you have CMW in kernel...when you flash ftf file you flash stock kernel and lose CWM. My way for people with locked boot + stock kernel and CMW in ROM!
ngonchan, you have CWM in ROM and don't lose it

you mean CWM is actually included in this ROM?
I went like this:
stock .45 ROM -> cobrato's older .55 kernel (w/ CWM) -> your newer .55 kernel (realize CWM is gone) -> cobrato's older .55 kernel (get CWM back) -> .55 ROM (full wipe) -> your newer .55 kernel...
but I still don't get CWM... (no bluelight on startup and tapping touchscreen didn't get me into recovery..)

if you have unlocked bootloader why you don't use root via cwm?
In my rom cwm already included. Many people tested it.
You should have stock kernel + stock rom .45 or .50 with root and cwm. Flash my rom via cwm and then flash new stock kernel and basaband. Or at first flash kernel and baseband and then flash my rom. And full wipe BEFORE installing ROM not AFTER!!! Go to CWM, FULL wipe and right flash rom

I want to try .55 ROM, but having unlocked bootloader - PC companion will not let me update... so I have to do it this way...
umm... is your method of getting into recovery the same as others? (tapping screen at sony logo?) weird... it didn't seem to work for me...
I forgot whether I wipe before or after installing the ROM could it be the reason?

It's worked. Thanks.
hi everyone i wanted to know taht i am on aokp(jb) rom and i wanna go to a stock based(ics) without using flashtool.
any help will be appreciated.
The best way is the flashtool to return to stock, otherwise a stock based kernel and ROM in the same way you flashed AOKP.
Sent from Myushi
but most of the stock based roms said that i need the 587.baseband to install the rom. please let me know coz am in no mood to use flashtool
.587 is not a baseband, it's the stock 4.0.4 ICS firmware version (fully 4.1.B.0.587 iirc). Just download and flash via flashtool
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
ok i just wanted to make sure if their is any other way other then flashtool thanks.
Just flash the kernel, wipe everything, and install the ICS ROM you want. I came back to ICS from CM10 without flashing stock ftf, and no issues at all.

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 just wanna know about installing CWM Recovery in my arc s with a JB rom. Because there is no supported CWM for xperia arc s for JB.
And I am new to flashing kernals..i did my arc s to JB with fusion 5.4 anyhow but if i want to change the kernal do i need to reflash the rom as well?
And also I installed CWM recovery using X-parts before unlocking bootloader. Should I continue installing like that if i Go back to ICS...or should i follow a another way since now my arc has unlocked BL.
And also when to install the kernal before or after flasing the rom.
Thank You

Recovery is built within the kernel, so you do not need to install any recovery by yourself.
You can change kernel at any time, no need to reflash the ROM. Just make sure the new one is compatible with your ROM (JB kernel with JB ROM, ICS kernel with ICS ROM).
If you have unlocked BL, you can just flash any custom kernel (all of them should include a recovery), no need for X-Parts.

So do i need to clear any caches after flashing new kernal?
And also what is the best kernal for JB based on cm 10 for my arc s that supports 720p video recording and gives a good battery life.

No need to clear any cache, if you change kernels.
There is currently only one JB kernel, that supports HD video recording. I will update this post, once I find it.
EDIT: LuPuS JB kernel, make sure you download the 720p version. Topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885559
Hello ...
two days ago i've unlocked and flashed custom kernel & rom (Super JB) on device Arc S LT18. I, and don't know why, used Flashtools to recover to 2.3.4 and after that installed the mentioned rom (yes i've cleared all). Now the device only boots if i use Menu + Power button. What the hell ? If i only use the power button, the green light flashes and nothing else (no boot). DO i need a clean wipe and all over again? Maybe i must flash original kernel 5.4. ?
After flashing the ROM in recovery, did you flash the patch for your device as mentioned in the installation instructions?

yes, i've flashed the patch after the rom. I really don't know what happened, was it the flashed kernel (that is the first time i've encounter the problem) ? or maybe that i've installed a stock rom (2.3.4) and didn't boot the device (and then proceed with the custom installation) ? or maybe it's the kernel, because i've flashed the Super Fusion and not the fusion 5.4
now i've installed the official CyanogenMod 10.2, but can't seem to fix this bug

its your choice mate if you want to be on GB rom then flash gb 2.3.4 or if you want to be on ICS then flash ics 4.04 stock rom
but if you want to flash JB custom roms then you need to flash ics stock rom first.
you can either reover to ICS or GB via flashtool its upto you
well the cm 10.2 works really good and maybe i will test cm 11 (or any custom rom from 4.2 above). so i will try your suggestion and see what happens.
EDIT: well the stock browser crashed today -.-' ... will have to test further ... and the strange boot is kinda fixed (it was my fault because i didn't pushed the power button long enought lol)
EDIT 2: stock browser simply force close everytime i use it. google play store doesn't work well :/
