Hi
I am looking to fully reset my arc to orignal sony Ericsson fw
so can someone point me to the latest stock fw (preferably India fw) and the guide on how to flash it
My bootloader is unlocked and i am using CM10 right now

If you want to get country specific software best way is to restore via Sony Update Service, but you need to relock your bootloader to use that method. For unlocked bootloader you can use flashtool to flash a ftf file but I cannot guarantee that it is India stock firmware.

Relock ftf : "C:\Flashtool\firmwares\X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf"
u dont need to unlock your bootloader just:
Download ftf file from here: http://www.qosmodro.me/2013/01/all-xperia-2011-official-stock-firmware.html
and flash it via flashtool.

If that website did not have the ftf file he will need to relock the bootloader to use SUS. SUS will determine his location and let him download the specific firmware for his phone since he was looking for Generic India firmware.

SUS is noob friendly and you don't have to find the files on the internet. The program will download it for you.

If you know how to use flashtool, you can download the ftf file from the link from the previous post and flash using flashtool. If you're not sure how to use it then use SUS, but relock the bootloader before using SUS.

You need locked bootloader to use SUS.

I bought an xperia arc s two days ago..and I want to unlock bootloader/root/install CWM and costume roms..but some friends advised me not to do so and keep on stock status..because thsey claim that I may not be able to update the phone to the supposedly so near almost on the door ICS of android..is it true?and if I did the unlcok bootloader and rooted..won't I be able to revert back to stock and update to the ICS when it comes?what do u think guys..?thx in advance
If u unlock bootloader, u cant update through pc companion. However, u can always relock back the bootloader, allowing you to update using pc companion.
However, in my opinion, having an unlocked bootloader doesnt bring any downside (except losing drm) coz u can still flash ICS using flashtool or flash it as .zip coz the devs at our forum will surely modify it or something...
However,its all up to you

I think it doesnt matter which rom r u on to relock it as long as ur on stock rom. But I recommend using fw .42 to relock cause that was the firmware I usually use to relock.
Im right now using xperia s beta rom 5, doomkernel v19...

I think you can relock any baseband if you unlock the bootloader with the official se method. If you unlock it with a testpoint methode you cant relock it.

Hi guys!
Fist of all, I'm so sorry about my poor english, I'm from Brasil and you know, thats not my native language
My friends, my uncle come from Japan and give me a Acro SO-02C, I already have a Arc, so I just try to flash the Acro with Arc firmware (ICS Stock), but the phone just get infinity boot loop. I can't enter fastboot mod, Its just like the phone dont ir recognize the drivers, I try many tutorials, in english and portuguese, but I can't. My question is: Will some FW work normal on my Acro? I need to unlock bootloader in order do flash my phone? What can I do?
Thanks in advice.
Firstly, you should not flash arc firmware on acro.
You can use SEUS(for locked bootloader on stock firmware and kernel) to flash your acro with the latest firmware available for acro.
If you have the ftf file for acro, you can flash via flashtool (need unlocked bootloader)

SEUS will work now that I have flashed my Acro with Arc fw?
I can't find any ftf from Acro =/ btw, Idk how to unlock Acro bootloader anyway.
You might have to take it to a service centre, and use this as a valuable lesson, don't flash things that aren't for your device, especially when there's NO FW to be found for it on xda.
well you can probably use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606748

As long as you connect your phone to pc, SEUS can detect it. You just need to choose acro as your phone type and let seus do its thing

I currently have DoomKernel v03 and the Mark Phyton ICS ROM installed on my phone with -56 baseband (Android version 4.0.4)
If I repair the phone via PC Companion will it return me to 2.3.4? b/c I'm pretty bored of this ROM now and I want to go back to normal again c:
Any help would be really appreciated, thanks

Google it, i remember saw it in one forum/blog out there when i lookin for .57 stock for my R800x
And the link is alive there
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
I suggest you .58 enhanced v2 over .62 bcoz it gives 420 mb data partition and easily rootable if you want to keep root.

A couple of weeks ago I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia S, rooted it and installed CM 10. Sins then a I have NO problems at all and i am enjoying the mod every day. But I was wondering, if I wish to get back to the stock ROM again (today the stock ROM is android ICS), how am i supposed to do that without worrying that I would brick my phone? :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance :angel:
Moved for better assistance, Thank you.
Relock your bootloader then fix your phone via Sony Update Service or PC Companion.

thnx mate I really appreciate it:good:
(Don't worry I already clicked on the 'thanks' button )
Just flash your stock rom and re-root your phone, there is no way to brick your phone (there is just one way: unplug the cable while your are flashing a firmware )
