You flashed a zip file that was meant for the Xperia S? They're not really compatible with one another... Well, anyway, yes, using Flashtool to flash back to stock should solve any issues in the ROM
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

Oh i see!
Thanx a lot!
Is it best to flash the entire .62 ftf or flash the arconium rom via recovery from ics?

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.
So I want to go back to stock ROM from the custom ROM Icebean by flashing an ftf file with flash tool, I just need to make sure this is safe right? As long as I wipe everything?
You can always flash back to stock ROM with flashtool as long as you have the correct ftf file.

My C6503 is rooted with the locked BL, but again with .434 rom.
I want upgrade to .253, but with keeping my root and without all deleted.
I see that if I upgrade via OTA, I keep my root.
But an upgrade via OTA it's impossible with recovery.
As I don't want all deleted and install all (I'll do that for the 4.2.2), I search a solution for deleted my recovery,
We have an idea for just delete CWM ?
Otherwise I'll wait for 4.2.2 and install everything properly
Try flashing just the stock kernel from a ftf file for your device through flashtool. If you changed anything in \system also flash system.
Just the kernel ?
Where I found it for the C6503 ?
There are several ftf files around on this forum, e.g. from Bin4ry. Download the one for your phone, flashing kernel will overwrite cwm.
Resolved with new install (Rom 4.2.2)
