How do I restore to version Gingerbread?
Try to install kernel which is appropriate to GB, and then some GB ROM
Use flashtool to flash this TFT file:

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.

Try to flash .42 ftf file using flashtool first.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
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
Recently my digitizer has been playing up, so I'm trying to return it to stock.
However, all I've been able to install is a .62 build, however my girlfriend has the exact same phone and she's only got .42 (Stock, never messed with)
Every time I try to flash the .42 build via flashtool when it goes to read the .ftf it's just blank, unlike if I was to put .62 in it wouldn't be blank.
I did flash a 2.3.3 Stock ROM but that resulted in a bootloop.
Any idea how I can flash a stock 2.3.4 with a .42 build number? Or at least flash a 2.3.3 Stock ROM that'll allow me to update to the UK's .42 build on 2.3.4?
Cheers.
Had the same Problem, couldnt flash the 0.42, so i flashed the stock 0.58.
Can someone link me to custom roms that don't require a unlocked bootlocker and a rooted xperia play?
My bootloader is locked and I've tried a million times to root my R800at but can't.
The odds of finding a rom for your locked bootloader is really slim especially for R800at plus you cant root 2.3.4 firmware.
You can install NXT Lite rom, find it in the development section, it's three clicks away. You will need CWM install which need root. To root, use flashtool to flash a rootable firmware such as an R800i 2.3.3 ftf or this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591398
Then turn on USB debugging and use the root feature in flash tool to root it.
Then download cwm installer version 5 from here to install cwm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840
Boot into cwm by keep pressing volume down button at the Sony logo, then install NXT rom, then install gingerbread gapps if desired.

Hi
My xperia play is currently on jb 4.1.2 (paranoid android rom 2.57.1-wedges with the turbo kernel) and very nice it is too,
I however want to restore it to the original uk stock rom that allowed games to be played etc so i can sell it as i have bought an xperia t.
Do i just use flashtool (Using the guide in the general section) and install the original GB stock rom 4.0.2.A.0.42 or is there anything else i have to do / beware of / Will this also flash the kernel back to stock. I am assuming that the turbo kernel wont work with a stock GB rom.
Thanks

Worked fine, the only issue i had was the phone wanted to update, but it kept giving me a message in pc companion that it could not update as it had been modified, I unrooted it and tried again same error, so tried a full flash again with the .42ftf, same error again. Finally reflashed with the .62. ftf, its not trying to update anymore. I think there is a problem with the root as it says its not rooted anymore but flashtool says it still is
Now to work on my new xperia t.
