Uhm, such thing doesn't exist. I use Flashtool 8.5 and I have no problems with flashing GB or ICS firmwares on both Arc S or Live.

If you want to root, then you have to downgrade to .58 or older firmware(lower than 58). If you want to unlock bootloader, then firmware doesn't matter, bootloader is not in the ROM.
If you unlock bootloader and you need root and recovery, you can install a custom kernel(most of them already include autoroot and recovery), your ROM gets automatically rooted and you already have recovery aswell.

I Should hold the BACK button before turning on handphone OR hold BACK button after turning on handphone and then connect OR just hold the BACK button without turning on phone?
Confusing. Anyone can give some guide :crying:

Turn off the phone, hold down the Back button and connect the cable. Do not use the power button at all. When its ready, disconnect the cable and turn it on.

If you were smart enough to unlock bootloader, you should know how to lock it. You should also do some reading, so you knew unlocking bootloader "blocks" OTA updates.

What You Actually Need To Do Is,
1. Unroot The Device.
2. Lock Bootloader
3. Following Steps 1-2 Will Allow You to Download OTA Updates From PCC.
If You are unsure If your phone is in the same condition as it was before you started to root and unlock it.
Best Thing To Do Will Be.
1. Use FLASHTOOL to FLASH Sony Generic ftf. File .45
2. Relock Bootloader by Using Relock ftf. --> http://j.mp/xps_relock
3 Flash Your Phone Completing Both Steps.
4. You should receive .55 Update if Everything Went Fine. ( It means you are getting OTA)
And You Are Ready for JB now!!

First of all don't panic!
Grab any .55 firmware and install it with FlashTool, when installation is finished don't turn on the phone, disconnect it and hold Volume UP button so it boots in Fastboot mode, then in FlashTool click FLASH then select fastboot and press Flash Kernel > flash this one (Download) When it's over just turn on your device as normal and you will have .55 with Root & Recovery. Good Luck
BEFORE INSTALLING KERNEL UNRAR THE PACKAGE YOU NEED ONLY .elf File.
Just Select elite.elf when choosing kernel to flash.
Attached KERNEL is by RaymanFX.

Thank your for the quick answer.
Do i first need to unlock my bootloarder?
Which firmwares can i install with that kernel?

Hello @schpongo,
I'd Certainly Help You Out.
First of AlL, What You Need Is
1. Unlocked Bootloader - http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
2. Rooted Device - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133063
3. Installing CWM Recovery. I prefer RecoverX - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227
And As My Friend In Above Post Said. Do Not Panic. It Takes Patience. And lots of waiting time.
Till one process is complete do not try to unplug or close anything. Its easy when you do things very calmly.
Ok Now for Available ROMS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950706
If you require suggestions regarding flashing roms I'd advice you to start with TEAM FXP ROMS - Cyanogen Mod 10

I Solved the Problem partly by using the flash tool to get back the stock os.

You can use the Flash tool to flash the boot.img file in the phone. It's really simple then manually doing it. I am on phone so can not provide you the link. Please use the search button on how to flash boot. Img using flash tool. Looping in boot is because the boot.img was not flashed properly. Use the flash tool to do it. I too had the same problem when I first flashed but soon found out the problem. Reply back if everything works..

CM 10 is a really good Rom with Stable recovery.
You can even download other ROMS of Build NOZOMI - (Code Name For Xperia S) eg Slim Bean build 5 Nozomi JB 4.2.2
And directly flash it from CWM recovery.

Yes, Unfortunately For This Purpose There is A Need for a little knowledge of Titanium Back Up.
It Will Bring All Your Settings Messages And Apps Back Without Any Modifications. Or loosing it.

2 Cache /data /sysytem

This Removes All The Apps.

[6.2.b.0.211]Need help after fail trying to root Xperia S

Hi, today I tried to update my Xperia S to 6.2.b.0.211 using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302631
But I got a brick which put my phone on a bootloop like the sony logo wouldn't disappear. So I used PC Companion to repair it and now I'm at 6.2.b.0.200 without root.
What I'm asking: Is there any way to root/flash a pre-rooted rom or whatever to have my phone rooted?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if it's region free but i can instal in on my Hong Kong version Xperia S so i believe it can be installed on yours
i believes most languages are here too
but there's only xperia international keyboard by default
seems other keyboard can still e added in setting
but the Xperia Chinese keyboard is missing and i have to flash it myself
if u dont like this version, u may look for another ftf file

u can root official . 200 FW. Your device must be UL, flash with fastboot doomkernel v5 and then you have CWM and root.

search this. clockwork mod recovery for xperia s in xda. It will take you to cwm by doomlord. follow the steps there. Installation of cwm is different for xperia phones. There is no separate recovery partition. As of now Doomlord has compiled a nice cwm recovery for xperia s and just follow the instructions there and flash the kernel.elf file as per the instructions given there

I'm using Xperia S, bootloader unlocked and rooted using FlashTool.
I have installed RecoverX tool and it runs without problems. However, I'm not able to get into the recovery mode. Why??
