I think that is, what you looking for.

Need to go back to Sony's stock ics

I'm selling my phone so i need to install everything back as it was(official ics 4.0.4 with .587 kernel) because stock rom doesn't have bugs.
I'm currently using Xperia Ultimate HD on advance stock kernel...
i need someone to write me the steps, and I will do them... many thanks!

What does the ftf file includes?
Does it also include stock kernel and baseband with the firmware? or do I have to install them manually?
**I'm currently on .72 baseband, do I have to change it?

I recommend you flash the GB rom, since it is fast. ICS is laggy. I don't think the buyer would be satisfied if it lagged

I wouldn't be happy if it came with GB.

Yes but then when the buyer connects the phone to a pc, it will prompt him to install pc companion. Then it will prompt him to install ICS. So then, he will have a choice . But if it came with ICS and he didn't like it, it will be harder to downgrade to GB in that case. So better flash the stock GB

and don't forget to wipe all your data

I did everything... All done.. Thank you all guys
I installed this firmware: Official ICS update Arc&Arc-S 4.1.B.0.431
And then relocked bootloader...
But now I have notification: system update available 4.1.B.0.587 , should I update or not? I read somewhere on xda that users were reporting bricked phones after OTA updates... because of unlocked bootloader (they said).. And I don't want that next user to click on it and then have a bricked phone, and I can't just hide the notification... if they do factory rest , the notification will pop up...
so now is it ok to update or not? or if you can link me to 4.1.B.0.587 firmware to install it...

Yes I relocked it, is it ok to update it now guys??
I relocked it using this method: [Tutorial] Relock bootloader!
As quoted from this method: "You still can't get DRM back. It's gone from the phone!"...

Would have been much simpler to just flash a stock 587 ftf.

I post a link to the general section where you can find it on the first page below the stickys and you come back with links from another site. I'm unable to help People who continue to demonstrate they're incapable of helping themselves, so you'll have to wait for someone with more patience to help.

Thats strange..
You are in a Ported JB rom in ur Xperia U.. without a custom kernel you cant flash JB in XU... So probably u should installed a custom kernel... Right ? So u should hav root too....
Try Experimental kernel v 11.c for xperia U JB from Android Development thread of XU

umm...not really..flashing a kernel has nothing to do with root...you need an unlocked bootloader...not root...i am sure there are root methods available for lower versions of your device...one thing u can do....flash an old kernel for which root method is available(eg : ICS or GB) then after root flash back the JB kernel(stock or custom),upto you/..

Ha ? Custom kernels have auto root and cwm /twrp included my friend.. And the one he telling that experimental kernel for XU JB is already have Autoroot and Cwm recovery...
Did u read his question clearly? According to his comment he is already on JB on XU.. There is no way to install JB on a locked bootloader in XU.. So probably he is in a Unlocked Bootloader and sure with a custom kernel too.. Thats y i told him to flash Experimental kernel v11.c.. Got it?

Custom kernels dont have auto-root and CWM/TWRP always(it all depends on the dev who is packing it). and there is nothing called a pre-rooted kernel. You dont root your kernel buddy,you root your ROM. Pre-rooted kernels(usually bundled alone) have a script packed with its ramdisk that roots the ROM you are running. Same goes for recovery. I can show you plenty of kernels which has all the features of Overclocking,I/O schedulers,governors etc without CWM but you need a rooted ROM . So a developer who is providing an entire ROM usually pre-roots the ROM and provides a custom kernel(usually no pre-root feature but in insecure mode). while someone who provides only a kernel to work with other roms provides a pre-rooted kernel. And even i said the same thing. I said you dont need root to flash a kernel. You need an unlocked bootloader(that also depends, There are ROMS and kernels which don't need unlocked B/L)
Yes what you mean is correct. The ROM he has installed should have root access( I mistook it for official JB firmware)

@Dark Wraith better we can leave this discussion here.. Because we both are arguing.. But where is the OP ? So its just a time waste for both of us...
And i know custom kernels should need an unlocked bootloader....

Locked bootloader where to start? Not Allowed

Hi
Mine Sony Xperia S have locked bootloader with allowed status [NO] and i dont know how to change to yes.
But i wonder now wich ROM´s can i install with locked bootloader?
I have installed ROOT and i installed CWM for locked bootloader. Wich ROM to start with? Any CM version that can be used with lockd BL ?
Please help.. Thanks

Roms that i used
Hi men you remember me when i start!
First I used FlashTools, to flash .96 Firmware. I felt really well
After that i try with Leopardx 4.9 ROM. I use it 2 or 3 months because i dont like it, had too much bugs in WALKMAN. (but was fast)
Now i wanna use Carbon ROM or NatureExperia Advance.

[Q] another noob question

hi everybody,i just bought a z1 compact and allow me some questions cause i m a little confused
1what is the best way to root it and stay with unlock bootloader?
2how can i install custom recovery?
thanks in advance.

Well first of on what firmware are you on? From what I know only v108 KK can be rooted without unlocking bootloader. As for custom recovery look for Nut's recovery for z1c here http://nut.xperia-files.com/

It will probably be on KitKat version. You can follow the guide from here to root KitKat and maintain root on Lollipop.

or use pc companion and update os. After root and install recovery new releases.
