[Q] Original Rom xperia arc s - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I mount a prejudice currently cm10 (with unlocked bootloader), but I would like to go back to 4.0.4 Xperia, as when I bought .. I know that to do this I have to install the file. ftf from flashtool, I have to clear something to avoid having the FOTA brick unlocked bootloader? where can I find the original ftf file?

Flashtool don't need to relock bootloader. But if you want to relock bootloader, there are tutorials on this forum that show you how.

[Q] ICS - How do I?

I have a Xperia Arc S
It currently has 0.62 firmware.
I have unlocked the bootloader (official sony way)
I have rooted (using XperiaArc.zip method)
I am currently downloding the ftf file for ICS.
Do I need a "kernel"?
How do I get ICS on it?
Will I still have root?
go to xperiablog dot net everything is there
ah well, flashtools not working for me
Edit a quick run of the drivers in flashtools and it was good to go!
read in the develepers thread, i am sure there is somewhere a howto. Step by step.

what i do is put the rom downloaded into sd card
push the kernel using fastboot tutorials
spam the menu button untill entered recovery.then wipe,then flash
nvr bothered bout baseband until yesterday,where i use flashtool to update the BB.
I have a arc S running on .42 rooted with locked bootloader. (I can unlock it but havent done so yet).
How can I install ICS from the released copy so far?
Or should I just wait for the release at my region?

[Q] Q : about custom roms and ICS

Hello Guys
I saw this custom rom ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599906
so my question is if I installed this ICS custom rom
and I didn't like it can I back to the original firmware via flashtool ?
and does this custom room needs unlocked bootloader .
Thanks
If its an ICS you will need a kernel, so you will need an unlocked boot loader to flash the kernel, every time you see this rom requires this kernel, you will need an unlocked bootloader

If i am sure Xperia S and Xperia SL are the same devices, only difference is Cpu clock(S-1.5 Ghz SL-1.7 Ghz) So i think its the same relock way as with Xperia S.

I am pretty sure that the relocking ftf file over here works for S and SL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
Also, before you relock, just be sure to flash stock ics first with Flashtool and then flash the relocking ftf file.
Btw, you can still update to official JB with an unlocked bootloader. Once someone receives the update in his/her country, the ftf file will be made and released here for everyone. Also, Sony has their official Flashtool for unlocked bootloader devices.

Yes. You Can Flash Relock ftf. Both Are Same Device With Different Clock Speed.
It should not create any issue.
USING FLASHTOOL
First Flash The ICS (Exclude TA in Options)
Then, Flash The FTF Relock (Include TA in options)

I dont think the NEW JB would be available to download anytime soon.. So just wanted to Connect the Phone to PCC on my Xperia and Flash it.
Already Flashed ICS STOCK via FLASHTOOL on Phone but since its not MY COUNTRY specific
The build gives a few errors.
Just want it like the brand new as if its out of box with the New JB.
Please Reply.

You have three options -
1) Wait until someone releases the FTF file of stock JB and flash it with Flashtool
2) Relock your bootloader and try to do a software repair/update with Sony PC Companion/SUS.
3) Use Sony's official Flashtool for unlocked bootloader to restore your device to ICS/update it to official JB.
In my opinion, don't relock your bootloader but just wait until someone gets the update and makes the FTF file. Meanwhile, you can use Sony's official Flashtool and revert back to stock ics.

Which new JB? the ftf you download and flash is the same that you get from PCC or SUS, just using a different way.

There are two different 'FlashTool's.
One is from Sony (that's not the one you want to use) and the other is Androxyde's FlashTool.
Androxyde's FlashTool allows you to flash .ftf files and also unlock and relock your BL.
