official flashtool for Xperia Smartphones.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/2012/12/06/new-flash-tool-from-sony-for-unlocked-xperia-smartphones-video-beta-download/
It's a beta version.
Currently supports only 3 devices.
1. Xperia S
2. Xperia Arc
3. Xperia Arc S
just EMMA with public flash. But this is level 1 of EMMA, just flash original FW with unlocked bootloader, not change SI number of prototype FW
Atlest we can update to latest stock rom with unlocked BL.
And who knows we might see beta JB roms for 2012 Xperia phones

no need to create account, read carefully the instruction
just copy the .ini or inf file to installation folder works like a charm
Not receiving activation email.
Read the instuctions!
Seriously! Read instructions! Copy the configuration file into the folder that the official flash tool was installed!

Hi everyone, i just bought a Xperia Arc and its currently running Android 2.3.2
My questions are:
1 - Which is the latest version update for Xperia Arc ?
2 - I tried to look for an update using the "Sony Ericson PC Companion" but it says that there is no avaible update. Why is it happening?
3 - The fact that my carrier is "VIVO" (From Brasil) means i can´t update my Phone?
4 - Is there any "Safe" (I know every way may brick your phone,i´ve flashed tons of custom roms on galaxy phones) way to update it to the latest version (or at least to 2.3.3 where i´ve seen some cool features) without breaking my 3G connection with my carrier ?
5 - I Know ICS is going to be released for our phones,but,will the update be Global or Carrier-by-Carrier like ?
Thanks in advance for any help/answers.
I will stay tuned here !
Flash with flash tool.
Debrand it with generic 2.3.4

Can i flash a "Global" Rom that works in every country,with every carrier ?
That would solve my issue,if theres any 2.3.4 (Which i found to be the latest version) rom (STOCK ROM,not CUSTOM) that i can flash safely.
Waiting for answers.
Where are you developers ?
Read the stickys.
Search for flashtool and read how to use it.
Then search for 2.3.4 generic world and flash it with tool above.

Last one,do you mind linking me a "how to" guide so i can follow it?
I´ve found this on on Youtube,but im not sure if its the same step-by-step: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmmThXTWu74
Also,Flashing this global rom,will prevent some apps from SE like TrackID to work or whatever ?
I´ve read it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
Look in general and devs section, there are tutorials.
Im on phone so i cant copy/paste link to it.
Someone will give you link,or ask flo95 for it.

Hello Brothers,
I am from a different Device Forum of the XDA community and having a goal to get Xperia Lock-Screen on the 4.2.2
But As I don't have a Xperia Device, so I need your help brothers. I think, if I read carefully in OP, its Sony's Original Firmware having 4.2.2 and so I need a few files from the ROM.
Files I need are:-
1) SEMCGeneric-rs.apk (system/framework/)
2) Framework-res.apk (Same as above location)
3) android.policy.jar (system/framework/)
4) UPNXPTLock.apk (system/app)
So brothers do reply and provide me the necessary files. I will be grateful for your supports brother.

i want a 15.2.a.2.5 for c2005 any one have it ?
hello ,
I Wanted to know if ROMs of xperia S would work on My xperia SL AS well ? I was looking forward to flash my xperia SL with mokee ROM or MIUI but was unable to find A special customized ROM for xperia SL n i read sumwer that Xperia S and SL has the same one. I would like to know if its really true and if not which ROMs are available for my phone. ?*
thank you , please suggest me a way.

According to GSM Arena, Xperia S and SL seems to be the same. They got the same chipset, same GPU and pretty much the same hardware. Only a few minor things seems to differ.
But I find nothing about Xperia N (Misspelling? Typo?)
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_sl-4894.php
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_s-4369.php
But I cannot promise it would work. On a logical level, these devices can differ. Even to a grade where a kernel might not be able to fully initiate. (With a kernel panic as a result)
Addresses, busses, partitioning scheme , flash ICs, and other stuff can differ. It could be a completely different board, even if the same chipset, GPU and other hardware is the same.
The only real way to be sure would be to compare these two devices side by side on the inside.
Is it worth the hassle?
One could try to flash a S ROM on the SL device, or the other way around, but make sure you can recover from a paniced kernel first.
One way to recover from a such state would be opening the device, and hardwire JTAG connections, if there are any.
I don't have too much experience recovering from seemingly bricked devices. different devices behave differently. Some have a simple preboot mode which one can use the USB connection to transfer firmwares over. Even when a kernel is malfunctioning completely. Others just become hard bricked, requiring using JTAG connections or similar hard wiring to recover.
Ok then cn u suggest a good ROM fr xperia SL alone? I mean if u cn tell it would b helpful. I tried to find one but couldn't. If not then ill hv to try doing what u said.

You went too complicated Mate. Xperia S and Xperia SL are exacty same, bar some software changes. No need to perform jtag and all to restore, You just need to flash back the stock firmware.

Yes I'm absoulutely sure. I own a Xperia SL and have been used all of the Xperia S ROM's on it. Mokee is good, just use a stable build, not a nightly/release one. You can Google for it. But for installing a Mokee ROM, You need to unlock Your bootloader since You require a custom kernel.
Sorry I m kinda new to routing tell me about custom kernel ?? I have already rooted my device by using flashtool.

First copy the ROM.zip and gapps for that ROM to phone.
Then on PC, extract the boot.img from ROM.zip.
Connect Your phone to PC powered on. Using fastboot, flash the boot.img to Your phone with following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
You will find fastboot.exe in "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib"or where ever You installed the flashtool.
Then Your phone will have a twrp installed. Just boot into twrp, and flash the ROM!
Don't forget to wipe 'data','cache','dalvik cache', 'system' before You flash the ROM.
Then after flashing ROM, just wipe 'cache' and 'dalvik cache' and flash the gapps.
Important: This will delete all Your apps. But Your videos, images, music will be safe as it is stored in 'sdcard'.
DON'T WIPE 'sdcard' AT ALL.

1.7 is not minimum, it is the maximum frequency Our processor can handle. And taking it to 1.9 would kill the battery and phone or render it highly unstable. You won't feel a lag at 1.5 ghz at all, trust Me. Been using at 1.5ghz, the phone doesn't feel slow at all and definitley faster than stock ROM's..
