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.

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

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.

Hi everyone,
Sorry, quick confirmation question before I do anything. I have unlocked BL - going from SEMC 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom I flashed cm7.2 and doomkernel. I then moved on and flashed BlendMiui and doomkernel. Now I am thinking of trying an alpha ICS rom. It says I need to be on 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom.
Because that is where I originally came from, can I just go ahead and start flashing? Or do I need to reflash the stock rom before I start?
On a side note, if I just go and flash the stock rom through Flashtool, will my phone be back to pure stock?
Oh, and do I really need the latest Flashtool?
Cheers!
Better flash it to stock, just to be sure before flashing ICS.
And yes, flashing a stock fw will make the device pure stock

Hi all,
I'm currently on KA12 which is an ICS ROM, and running Darkforest ICS Kernel.
I would like to switch back to T.E.A.M Stock ROM, which is based on Gingerbread, and was wondering what steps would I need to do to go back?
Thanks in advance!

The best thing to do is to return to stock using the appropriate ftf file first. Then install the GB ROM of your choice.

Would it be okay to flash the 2.3.4 .62 SE Stock firmware found here?:
http://xperiagamer.com/Stock-Roms/234-stock-firmware-for-root.html
That'll work.
Then flash your rom.
ya you should also take advantage of nand droid backups. along with that one ftf u use you'll able to flash back and forth between roms (2.3.4/4.0.3) without loosing anything from previous roms you may have flashed. always do backups through cwm.
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.

Hi Guys, I tried to upgrade my bro's phone from ICS to JB. It was a stock all the way through. I unlocked the BL,rooted it, install CWM and then tried to flash a JB kernel using fastboot in flashtool.
But i am getting stuck in the logo screen only,nothing after that. I have tried with almost all the available JB kernel out there without any success, finally had to give up and revert back to stock using ftf file.
Any idea why is it happening? Is there any JB rom out there which does not include flashing a JB kernel before installing the ROM?
I hate to give up now so please guys help me out.

That's because ics can't boot in jb kernel... Flash kernel... Turn off turn on... Keep pressing volume down button... You will go to recovery... From there install rom...

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting back from a KitKat Rom to an JB or ICS ROM.
I'm getting stuck with the firmware. It's flashing OK (I've tried several different ones), but when I boot up and try to get into CWM it just sits there on the firmware logo (e.g. the LUPUS logo, or the Rush logo).
Is there something fundamentally stopping me going back to an ICS or JB firmware, after I've previously had KitKat running?
HELP
Oh, this is the Kitkat ROM I originally installed, and it's included kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570072
If I flash that kernel again, I can get into Kitkat successfully, no problem at all.
As above, if I flash any other kernel, I just can't get into CWM.

You can flash stock ICS firmware using Flashtool, then flash a JB custom kernel with a recovery. From there, use the recovery to flash a JB ROM.

Thanks for your reply.
What is the need for flashing an ICS kernel first?
I'll give it a go, but flashing a custom ICS kernel with a recovery I've been unable to get into CWM.
I'm probably doing something really stupid.

Flashing ICS is recommended first since this will restore you phone's memory partitions. KK uses different memory partitions to make it run properly. This will also wipe your phone's data and allows you to do a clean install that should eliminate most errors that you encounter during ROM installation.
Ok, thanks so much for the advice
I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on!
Ok, I'm back on Gingerbread stock firmware
Android v2.3.4, Build 4.0.2.A.0.62.
I can't find an ICS based FTF file - everything is either 404 or on hotfiles, which is dead.
I've unlocked the bootloader (which I thought I'd already done, but maybe the flash of the firmware undoes that?)
Not sure where to go from here.

Check my signature for stock firmwares, there are working links for Arc and Arc S.
