Thanks a lot for this, however, I'd rather try the actual leak file for now (not really bothered about my bootloader etc, which I unlocked but never got around to flashing a custom recovery).
I've found the original Russian forum, and the original leak file, but the instructions really aren't being translated very well by Google... There seem to be 4 update files in the archive, should they all be flashed, one after the other?

Path for the official A101 updating to ICS
Thanks to djinox of 4pda.ru. Original article is published on this site (russian).
Flashing through official recovery:
1. Download this archive. Unpack it. The archive contains 4 files numbered in the order of updating.
2. Rename update1.zip in update.zip and place it on the SD card. Flashing through official recovery.
3. To execute the 2nd point for update2.zip, update3.zip and update4.zip.
The firmware of ICS for A101 is received.

Thanks very much! And also thanks to djinox for the leak.

Wrong thread , sorry.

Can we please get something like this for the A100?

Hi I tried using the steps below to flash, no luck going to ICS.
Anything i might be doing wrong, i change each of the 4 files to update.zip and flashed it one by one, rebooting after each flash.

I had that initially. The actual ICS ROM is in update4.zip. You MUST do each one in turn. If you don't get the update, you did it wrong.

Thanks for the replies, I manage to get the update to ICS using CWM method, and almost bricking it, because I was on HC.
But all is good now. Thanks again

Any new ICS leaks
Hi, I am just curious if there will be any custom ICS roms for the A101 in the near future, or more leaks
Thank you

This build does not recognize headphones plugged in and still plays sound via speakers.
So, if you like using headphones with your A101, stay on HC.

Hi all,
Anyone can tell if there are any other bugs in this ROM beside earphone problem please? thx

Help in flashing CM9 on primo u

Can someone give me directions to flash cm9 completely???
I used SGS before so dont know much about kernels and boot image
Currently i've unlocked my bootloader and with clockwork recovery using toolkit

Yes. I had a SGS before, so I know where you're coming from. Basically it's the same process, you put the zip on the SD and flash it. The difference is that you have to manually flash the boot.img before with fastboot. If you unlocked your bootloader you already sucessfully set up fastboot, so you're done half the way. You can follow the tutorial found here. I do recommend using the official non-touch CWM instead of TWRP, which some people say has random freezes. Be sure to use a cm9 kernel. I use KISS. It's best to understand all the steps in advance so you won't do a careless mistake.

Ok, fastboot means having your phone connected via usb, typing commands into your computer. The hardest part for me was setting it up the first time. I think one of the linked tutorials explains it, otherwise try searching for it on google. Also there are a few threads in the Q&A section which should be of help. Once you have it set up you need to copy the kernel into the fastboot folder on your computer, rename it boot.img and type into the terminal: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Yes, as kernel you use the cm9 one.

Well, if you were to read the entire OP, you would have found out that there's a special boot.img you are supposed to flash, and that if you flash the boot inside the zip, you can say Bye Bye to your device.
Please read threads thoroughly.

[Q] install custom rom after update jb

how to install ARHD after update jelly bean

Do you really need to open up a thread asking this? Read, read and read again.

the same way you used to flash ics roms.
there is no change of procedure. Since your firmware is updated now. all you need to do is put the zip in sd card.
flash the rom through recovery then flash the boot.img through fastboot
dnt foreget to erase cache.
and reboot. You are done

Yes you need to unlock and have a custom recovery installed. Look at the stickies in the one x android development forum. Bunch of easy to follow guides.

[Q] How does one revert one's Xperia S back to stock ICS from Cyanogenmod 10?

I'm asking because I specifically flashed another boot.img for Cyanogenmod 10.
Now, what are the exact steps I need to take to go back to stock ICS?
Do I need to flash a stock boot.img first, with fastboot or something, and then flash a stock ICS zip from ClockWorkMod?
I'm not really experienced with any of this, I've flashed only about 3 times but none of which required me to install a different boot.img (isn't that the kernel file?).
Any help would be amazing!

I always follow 2 steps in CWM
1.Flash advanced stock kernel and reboot.
2.Flash stock zip Rom.

Can this advanced stock kernel be flashed from within CWM as well as the ROM? I used something I believe was called fastboot for it.
And the kernel is indeed the boot.img then?

If you want to go back to stock, dont flash anything..
Now reverting back to stock is much easier as sony has released an official flashtool, just download the tool and latest firmware and flash it using the tool..
Once again dont flash any kernel or any rom if you want to completely go back to
stock.

Yep sure There are 2 versions of advanced stock kernel. One is flashed via fastboot and another one is flashed via CWM.
Then, on CM, Pac, Para which Rom are not based on stock one, boot.img is exactly the kernel

I tried this, but I couldn't get the official flash tool from Sony to work.
I apparently had to have a company when making an account to log in. Very odd.
I assumed this other flashtool made by probably xda developers did the same thing, but that one always gives me an error that I need to install the drivers first. Yet I've used this program before and back then I already went through all the hassle to install the correct drivers.
And now I don't know which drivers to install anymore.

You need to follow the instructions in sony's developer website for installing the flash tool..
Did you install the drivers using the drivers folder in flashtool??
And does your phone get recognized by the flashtool, I mean does it show your android version etc etc..??

Thanks A LOT!
Sony's beta flashtool, Emma, works like a CHARM!
I initially forgot to copy the customisation file from the zip to the installation folder. Thanks for reminding me to check the instructions
The unofficial flashtool couldn't recognise my phone, but Sony's one could.
Thanks so much for answering my questions, I'm starting to learn how it all works! If I could, I'd give you 10 thanks. But I think that's against the rules c:

Restore GalleryGoogle to 4.1.1 so I can upgrade to 4.2.2

Hey guys,
Rooted unlocked stock 4.1.1. (JRO030)
Looking to upgrade. Downlaoded the install .zip but I'm getting a failure. Based on the recovery log I'm pretty certain it has to do with the manual upgrade I did earlier to get the 4.2 camera with photosphere working on my Nexus.
Any ideas how I can downgrade the camera first? I can't find the APK anywhere.

Since you're unlocked and stock, download the factory image and flash the system image ONLY via fastboot.

do I need to copy part of the 4.2.2 zip file somewhere first? Right now I just have the full (zipped) download in the download folder of my gnex.
I guess I'm wondering, where do I get system.img and where do I place it so I can load it via fastboot?

if you downloaded the image from google,
untar the image
there should be a zip after you untar it, which will have the system.img in it.

Thanks ... very helpful, now i just need to know where to put the system.img? DOes it go into the same directotry where platform-tools is?

where ever your fastboot.exe is

Hmm the file came as a .zip not a .tar
5939ff985946.signed-mysid-JDQ39-from-JRO03O.5939ff98.zip
I unzipped that and I see
folders (META-INF, patch, recovery, system) and two radio images. Did a search and couldn't find system.img in there.
Copied the full directory to where fastboot is and did the dir *.img in command prompt also didn't find any files.

that is from a OTA zip.

Ah got it - thanks. They haven't put 4.2.2 up there yet for VZW as far as I can see. Can I use the 4.1.1 to somehow flash over just the gallery? Will writing system.img do that?

considering you never mentioned you were using a toro device until just recently...
if you had a maguro device, my instructions were correct.
since you have a toro device, you need factory 4.1.1 and then apply the OTA.
