[Q] some questions about roms

Hi there, I have some questions about roms of sony xperia s.
where can I get the newest offical firmware like this: LT26i(4.0.4)_6.1.A.2.55_Generic_SG(1257-6921).rar (.elf file)
can I use Flashtool to flash these offical firmware ?
what dose ICS17.elf mean? I have flashed this file by using fastboot, and got my phone rooted and got a CMW recovery.
many thanks

1. Get it from Here
2. Yes, sure.
3. ICS17 is the modified stock kernel added more features than stock one

Hold on.......
If you've flashed the ics17 kernel then you've unlocked the bootloader yes?
Then scrap off any ics rom and flash Jellybean

I need official Sony 's rom.

I see. Then flashing the 55 ftf would be best. How come you must have Sony only?

Just flash a custom kernel using fastboot (a kernel for gingerbread) and then flash the zip in CWM.

Use Flashtool. It's the best and safest way. Dont flash a ROM, through CWM.

That's Right!!

Flash stock .96 FW via flashtools....
Flash recovery by doomlord or doomkernel for either locked Bl or unlocked depending upon your bootloader..This way you'll retain .96 FW and CWM..via CWM fix root permissions...and you get what you wanted...

[Q] Will I loose Root when updating via OTA ? maybe

Will I loose Root when updating via OTA ? maybe not unless it's the update for 4.3 like it was on my Xperia T that I had just lost this weekend now I got a deal on a Xperia ZL C6506
and now Currently Rooted on 4.1 Build 10.1.A.1.395 with an OTA update available 10.3.A.0.423 not sure what build that is when I got PC companion saying I got an update for Build number 10.4.B.0.569 So I'm assuming that 423 isn't 4.3 but 4.2 but I don't know ?

yes 10.3.A.0.423 is 4.2.2 firmware
and yes you will lose root
but you still can root it in 4.2.2 firmware,and flash a pre-rooted 4.3 rom if you want as 4.3 don't have way to root

I didn't lose Root I lost NFC Searching around but can't find a fix for the ZL just for the Z now the OTA update is available for 4.3 but I'm pretty sure that's when you lose Root .
