hi,
I am using a Xperia S and in need of your help please.
Some time ago, i installed a custom firmware. Below are details of my phone:
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: 8660-AAABQOLYM-314010-28
Kernel Version: 3.0.55-FXP+ [email protected] #1
CyanogenMod Version: 10-20121221-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi
I am having issues with my external speaker. It does not work at all. I want to switch back to the stock firmware..exactly how i bought the phone.
How do i do that? Also, will the warranty work again if i go back to the official stock ?
Thanx
Flash stock rom via flashtool and relock bootloader. Search on forum, there are plenty of tutorial.

I think that is, what you looking for.
I'm selling my phone so i need to install everything back as it was(official ics 4.0.4 with .587 kernel) because stock rom doesn't have bugs.
I'm currently using Xperia Ultimate HD on advance stock kernel...
i need someone to write me the steps, and I will do them... many thanks!

What does the ftf file includes?
Does it also include stock kernel and baseband with the firmware? or do I have to install them manually?
**I'm currently on .72 baseband, do I have to change it?

I recommend you flash the GB rom, since it is fast. ICS is laggy. I don't think the buyer would be satisfied if it lagged

Yes but then when the buyer connects the phone to a pc, it will prompt him to install pc companion. Then it will prompt him to install ICS. So then, he will have a choice . But if it came with ICS and he didn't like it, it will be harder to downgrade to GB in that case. So better flash the stock GB

I did everything... All done.. Thank you all guys
I installed this firmware: Official ICS update Arc&Arc-S 4.1.B.0.431
And then relocked bootloader...
But now I have notification: system update available 4.1.B.0.587 , should I update or not? I read somewhere on xda that users were reporting bricked phones after OTA updates... because of unlocked bootloader (they said).. And I don't want that next user to click on it and then have a bricked phone, and I can't just hide the notification... if they do factory rest , the notification will pop up...
so now is it ok to update or not? or if you can link me to 4.1.B.0.587 firmware to install it...

Yes I relocked it, is it ok to update it now guys??
I relocked it using this method: [Tutorial] Relock bootloader!
As quoted from this method: "You still can't get DRM back. It's gone from the phone!"...
Would have been much simpler to just flash a stock 587 ftf.

I post a link to the general section where you can find it on the first page below the stickys and you come back with links from another site. I'm unable to help People who continue to demonstrate they're incapable of helping themselves, so you'll have to wait for someone with more patience to help.

Just flash that and report back.
My Ace 2 is stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Ace 2" . The Problem was started when I was flashing my ace 2 to Jellybean 4.1, I have problems with like lagging, crashing etc etc now I want to back to Gingerbread or return to stock for short but when I try to flash it. Odin says "Pass" but the phone is stuck on the splash. I can go to Download mode but I can't go to Recovery mode to clear the cache and some resetting. I live in the Philippines incase that you will link me an official gingerbread rom for the galaxy ace 2.
Did you use search option or try reading before starting new thread?
Did you follow that tutorial?:

Its not possible if you are on a locked bootloader.
If unlocked just flash doomkernel v14.

If you just want to root. Downgrade the firmware and root via ZergRush.

Via Sony's website you can have your bootloader unlocked here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Then you can root ANY firmware by installing a superuser.zip in recovery.

oh ok, so I can unlock the bootloader even if my firm is .69? because somebody told me I cant..
and, just so I can be sure, how do I install it (the superuser)?
You can unlock your bootloader with the .69 firmware.
You can downgrade with flashtool. If you just want to root say it I help you. (I've unlocked my bootloader but I don't remember me how it works)

so, in the tutorial he posted u can skip the unlock bootloader part? I dont need unlocked bootloader for the rooting part of that tutorial?
if so, than why did he said that u need unlocked bootloader? I`m confused
oh, and btw, can u help me with this rooting? I sent u pm but u didnt send back..
I write it here for you other people (because no pm).
I'm not responsible for bricked or broken devices. This progress will wipe all of your data.
1. Download the .58 Firmware
2. Install Flashtool
3. Click on flash->flashmode->choose the .58 Firmware->let it prepare->plug your phone in like it stand there
If it don't work the first time taste it again.
If flashtool don't flash anymore scroll a bit in flashtool.
If the progress is finished your phone will boot (or you turn it on). Go in the settings->application and tick unknown sources and go in the settings->application->development and tick USB debugging.
ROOT:1.Open flashtool
2.click advanced->root->via ZergRush. I think then will come a Window how to plug the phone in, if there comes no Window just plug your phone in normal. I don't know if you must plug in before or after you click on "root via ZergRush". Just taste it.
Don't update your phone because that probably brakes/bricks your phone.

Hi, I'm using Resurection Remix and lots of custom ROM for over a month, but no one as battery friendly and stable as stock MM. So i would like to ask can we unlock MM by now? So I can flash TWRP and backup, flash and do other things. And safe way to revert to stock 5.0 (Not fastboot flash bom-token blablabla)? I brought my Z008 to service center because of this. If there is a way, plz reply me with a link to that thread(s). Thanks in advance

Is that the "2 click one" ? I had tried that before and it didn't work for ze550ml on .69 firmware
And if i unlock sucessful, which root should I flash? The non-system or the normal (Chainfire's) one?
