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 ?

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

Is there any stock Jellybean for Xperia S?
Not official Sony if that's what you mean?

I need official Sony 's rom.
I see. Then flashing the 55 ftf would be best. How come you must have Sony only?

Hi -
I read a lot of threads on how to upgrade the Xperia ZL to Android 4.2.x prior to posting this. My phone is now "rooted" and has the "ClockWorkMod" recovery properly installed. I would say all the procedure about the upgrade was carefully followed!
The problem is the final step, the Xperia ZL does not reboot at all. The process say it should take five to 15 minutes for the first boot, in fact I left the phone overnight at this stage but nothing happened.
Many procedure tried with the same result and I always end up restoring the phone from back up to the original version.
Here are some info if it helps:
Xperia ZL - Model C6502
Android v - 4.1.2
Build Number 10.1.A.1.434
ClockWorkMod v6.0.3.0
Flashtool v0.9.11.0 - used for rooting
I would really apreciate if you can help me flash the Android v4.2
Regards,
Dennis
There's is no 4.2.2 upgrade for ZL

Thanks. It worked. Successfully installed PAC custom ROM.
One doubt, how to return back to Stock Jelly bean 4.1.1 from 4.2 Pac custom rom(not now after a week, i am planning to switch if I am not comfortable with PAC Rom).
I have stock ttf LT26i_6.2.B.0.211.1257-8080_LBI for Xperia S. Just normal Flash is enough or any other kernel/recover/boot.img needs to be flashed/installed before returning(downgrade) to Stock JB 4.1.1?

Chandru.

Hello.
First, I have Xperia S, 4.1.2, with an unlocked boatloader.
I have some questions:
1. Is there a toolkit to root my Xperia S? Except for flashtool. I saw DoomloRD's toolkit, what do you think about him?
2. Is there a room that brings nexus experience for my phone? Things like nexus 4's keyboard, UI, sounds...
3. Can you also give me another name of a rom, that make the device faster?
4. Is there a new build for the XS? 211 build? Is there an official ftf?
PS: 4 Questions
if your bootloader is unlocked then flash aosp 4.3

ok. well if you have followed the bootloader unlock method then you just need to fastboot a kernel
2. Is there a room that brings nexus experience for my phone? Things like nexus 4's keyboard, UI, sounds...
yeah lots. aosp 4.3 is currently awesome
3. Can you also give me another name of a rom, that make the device faster?
as above
4. Is there a new build for the XS? 211 build? Is there an official ftf?

1. Weird question, either rooting method works or not, since its doomlords work it should work, read the thread and you'll know.
2. Nexus has the almost pure vanilla android so we have some 4.2.2 ROMs and even 4.3 ROM(which is in alpha stage, so I wouldn't recommend it, try 4.2.2 ROMs).
3. Try any custom ROM, especially the without-bloatware and slim ones, try changing kernels. There is no perfect ROMs, you must try some of them and decide which is better, installs some mods(like one that stops launcher redraws).
4. .211 build is a regional update, some minor changes for particular countries I think. If it doesn't pop up at your update centre then you don't miss much. Of course custom ROMs are based on latest .211 firmware so you are probably gonna have it anyway.
There is new update coming for our device but we will probably wait 2-3 weeks till it comes.
Once again - read. Threads have probably most answers for your questions, and reading carefully is the best way to know your device and what is going on in the developers world.

1. OK, I think I'll use DooMLoRD's toolkit.
2. Can you suggest me some ROMs that use Vanilla Android and that runs 4.2.2?
3. OK, thanks
4. I'll wait, thanks

C'mon man, if you checked developement section you would know that for this moment we have one 4.3 rom. I won't give you the link, finding this rom is not that hard.
I recommend p.a.c. ROM on Android 4.2.2

1. I don't know any other flashtool than DoomloRD's version. What? Is there any issues?
2. Yup there are also of "rooms" for Xperia S that are based on AOSP. Use PAC ROOM or Slimbean.
3. What do you mean by "faster"? Trinity ROOM is very smooth and fluid. In terms of performance use custom kernels.
4. 211 is the latest and still has a few bugs. There hasn't been any official news that there will be a new update with bug fixes , but Sony would definitely try to fix it for their own sake.
Here is a Flashtool : http://www.flashtool.net/

OpenSEMC 4.2.2 RC2 - smoothest, fastest, IMHO best ROM at the moment. 4.3 are not yet as stable as 4.2.2 ROMs.
I tried letamas AOSP 4.3 ROM and it is good but it lagged sometimes and misses some options that CM based ROMs are having.

You will need to flash the 4.3 kernel. You can find it in one of the threads regarding 4.3 in the general section.

If you have reflashed 4.1 you will need the stock 4.1 kernel. I don't know if there is one in the forums.
