If u have an unlocked bootloader , i think you can root .62. No need of downgrading it. Search for the method.

Just boot recoveryARC.IMG with fastboot (DON'T FLASH IT, JUST BOOT). Then flash latest superuser.zip from sdcard.
While searching for files read something more about process.
If more help needed or files needed pm me and I can help from Wednesday on.

If your getting the Sony logo you should be able to restore the phone using the SEUS update software http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/

Thanks for the answer, but i'm afraid this is not possible, SUS just UPDATE the firmware and doesn't RESTORE the OS, i am on the last available officiale firmware in my XS so SUS doesn't help me!

[Q] Error 0017 flashing stock firmware

I have a Xperia M C1905 and tried to flash the stock firmware using Flashtool. I've tried this process with 4 different firmwares (since many people say the downloaded file is corrupt), but the error persists, so I think it's the phone and not the corrupted firmware.
When I try to flash the firmware, I get the following error:

I've attached the full log (with DEBUG enabled) for more info.
I've also tried this process from different computers, with different USB cables, older versions of Flastool, manaully formatted everything in CWM, but nothing helps.
Does anyone have a clue what is happening?
if you want to return to the stock you can download Sony PC Companion ..( your phone recomend to install it when you connect it with your pc) and click Support Zone to repair your phone...
You must have locked bootloader bcz he will tell you that your system is modified

I can't do that. My phone has currently no ROM installed. Installation of a ROM gave errors, so now I'm trying to get back to stock firmware, but that also gives errors.
PC Companion only detects your phone when it is booted in Android (not in flash, fastboot or CWM mode). So I can't fix it like that.
With the phone disconnected, open PC Companion, go to support zone and choose "Phone/Tablet software update". A small window will open saying that no phone/tablet were detected. In this window, click in "repair my phone/tablet" and follow the instructions...
Ok, now I'm trying to to lock my bootloader again and am stuck there. When I try to lock:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
then it just shows a new line with "..." and nothing else. It is stuck there for 10mins now. I've also tried:
Code:
fastboot oem lock begin
but it is also stuck at "...". I've tried to unlock it again (which worked perfectly), but it seems that it can't be relocked.
Any suggestions?

Yes, there is no ROM installed. Yes, CWM (6.0.4.7) is installed. I'm unsure about my kernel. I flashed so many things in order to get it working, I'm currently not sure which kernel is running. Is there a way to check?

I've used 0.9.14 under Linux, 0.9.13 under Windows, 0.9.11 under Windows. All gave the same error.
have you installed the usb flash drivers for the xperia p&u&sola??
Sent from my C1905 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes, and obviously also the fastboot and flashmode drivers. I've also tried installing the driver pack from here, but still having the problem of 0017.
trying to gather as much info, did you restart pc after installing drivers?
Sent from my C1905 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
try this:
go into cwm and wipe everything then go and mount sd card and ext and try installing a rom, seems like the partition tables are messed up on your device ive read a few things trying to help you
Sent from my C1905 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes, I've restarted my PC after Flashtool and the drivers installation.
I've formatted all partitions, wiped every possible thing under CWM, but installing any ROM gives the symlink error. While I was googeling the symlink problem, a lot of posts popped up saying something is wrong with the partition. I've experienced that under my normal Linux (on my PC), sometimes if the power goes out by accident, the partition table often corrupts for the OS.
My phone worked perfectly one moment, and shortly afterwards my phone was off (the battery was low, so maybe the battery was empty and the phone switched off). When I turned it on again, my Android didn't boot and all these problems started.
So I think that it might have something to do with the partition or partition table - that's probably why I can't install any ROM or even flash it (since it can't write anything to the device). Are there any tools, or options in CWM or fastboot that allows you to fix the partition (or table)?
you could try this tool it supports sony phones
http://www.byclouder.com/products/recovery/partition-recovery-ultimate.html
Sent from my C1905 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried it with CWM booted, in flashmode, fastboot mode and just in normal boot, but the tool doesn't detect my phone. I think one needs Android installed and booted before the tool will detect your phone as a partition.

I have done these methods but the flashing finishes with error. I can just flash kernel on it. I need an. Img kernel with compatible. Tft firmware. Hope to reach a solution

From above error i can see that you are flashing 4.1.2 firmware. Try flashing 4.3 firmware.
