Hey guys. I own the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S . I have rooted it and installed cyanogenmod 10.1.
Now the cyanogenmod is nice but it still has a lot of bugs and it lacks in a lot of aspects in comparison to the stock rom.
Now i would like to go back to the stock rom which was ICS 4.0.4
Is it possible to downgrade from 4.2 to 4.0.4 ?
if yes then a complete tutorial would be highly appreciated for my problem . Thanks in advance.
Use flashtool to go back to stock ICS..4.0.4.. You'll need the .587 ftf file.
If you wanna try a custom ICS rom.. Flash an ICS kernel.. Then the rom..
See the stickys and general section.

It will yes, we often advise People to do the wrong thing, help the learning process. Seriously, read the stickys.

guys,,i really need your help i got a sony ericson xperia arc s upgraded to ICS 4.0.4, i followed all the instructions provided by sony support before upgrading,i can say the process was very smooth and done successfully but when i played deadspace,shadow gun,riptidegp and n.o.v.a 3 ,it crashes or forced close,even the very simple apps like dictionaries crashes/stucked. sometimes i need to remove the battery just to reboot my phone so i can use it again,these games works perfectly when i still have the gingerbread os..by the way i use pc companion for upgrading..i really don't know what to do i wish i didn't upgrade my phone to ICS...it makes my phone a crap! can somebody help me regarding this?any helpful advice will be appreciated..thanks!!
dude i really recommended you to flash a custom 4.0.4 kernel..and you will definitely see the difference..well gaming is not tat good on ICS..but some custom kernel makes games fly on ICS..check them out..
first i would advice you to try arconium 4.0 as it is the best custom stock ROM

another good rom is KA20, but arconium still the best, fastest and less bugs

just flash arconium..it is pre-rooted..if you want even better performance then flash custom kernel too..Xarc and ArcKnight are equally good

OP didn't specify bootloader status and the bootloader would have to be unlocked to flash a custom kernel doesn't it? Great link if he has unlocked bootloader

Nope, you didn't. You're not the first to say they've searched for something when they clearly haven't and you certainly wont be the last. I came here to learn, not be spoon fed and rehashed old information that I could have found myself by searching. This post of mine from yesterday sums up this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32137512&postcount=152
just a noob guys hope someone would be interested inhelping me with my arc,i just tried changing or flashing different kinds of kernels but only 1 worked and its doom kernel21 all other kernels didnt work i got stack on bootloops why is that? and can i use doom kernel to Xperia Ultimate HD rom? i already unlock bootloader.
software ver.
4.0.2.A.0.62
system ver.
4.0.2.A.0.42
kernel ver.
kernel 2.6.32.9-DooMKernel

android ver. 2..3.
Moved to provide better assistance, Thank You.
Its not possible that one kernel work and other dosnt you should explain full method you use first

Because you're using GB and not ICS, which most mods are based on these days, so update to ICS and try again.

doom kernel v21 is for GB rom.
u cant use it on ICS rom,such as Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0 rom.

wow this is very enlighting, so it means that i may not use Xperia Ultimate HD on doomkernel21 right? i tried DK22 but it doesnt work also so that means i have to update on ICS to use other ICS based kernel? how do i update my arc to ICS? coz as i remember i cant update over the air with an ulocked bootloader right? so how do i update to ICS? and where do i download those update files? please point me to the right thread. when i tried pc companion it says my device is updated.:fingers-crossed:

You only need to unlock your boot loader the once, you will need to root again though.

i have seen videos on how to update via flash tool but its kinda complicated and still have to flash kernels, is there any other way or an easy way to update my arc? sorry bro for i have so many questions and still i have more.
what rom for GB do u suggest i use for my arc?
Flashing a stock ftf also flashes the included kernel. If you're still struggling with video tutorials or guides then someone else will have to assist as I'm not here to spoon feed for the reason stated in the second line of my guide.

can i use Arconium 8.2 on GB2.3.4?
yeah youre kinda new.....
You cant use ICS mods with a GB kernel.
Have you unlocked your bootloader already?
Sent from my Xperia arc S using xda premium
at last my perseverance paid off, lots of reading, searching, downloading and bookmarking and trial and error and came to the point that i almost bricked my ARC. i am now on android 4.0.4 BB-77 with Advanced stock kernel, build# .587 running on xperia ultimate HD 2.0
heres my screenshot.
BTW if there is someone still a noob like me in flashing heres the simplest vid that i found and it work for me, you should have all drivers installed on your pc
do not release the back button until flashing is finished and not all back button are on the right side as seen on flashtool

Thanks for the help guys! I finally got it done, but man am i glad i had a good backup because the miui rom is not cool at all! I did the smooth ion mod and i really like it. i dont see why anyone would prefer the miui rom over the stock xperia
The Stock Rom with some mods is really cool
i have installed a lot of roms and kernals, the new SUPER JELLY BEAN requires "3. flash stock ics .587 ftf excluding kernel and simlock.ta files.. "
what i supposed to do ?

Same answer as above, Visit this thread to flash any of the Firmware you want http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?start=0&tstart=0
Or since you have a locked bootloader, you can use SUS or PCC to repair your phone
Sorry i post in the wrong thread.
