then just install CWM for ZL over here

lastly flash a pre-rooted 4.3 rom

Well then I need the corresponding Firmware of the 4.1 cause it seems I'm not fully rooted right now some apps have access and some don't
I'm trying to flash the 4.1 kernel so I can try rooting it again even though it says it's Rooted and to try and use that method of down grading the Kernel and running Doom lords Rooting kit but when flashing the old Kernel it may not be the right one I was getting a boot loop so I re-flashed the Canadian 10.3.A.0.423 and all was fine I swear I've searched all over these forums and I can't find what I need just the instructions on how to do it a lot of these links no longer work I'm using a C6506 ZL with the Bell firmware at least I have the FTF to go with it but I need the older one as well.

It's a leaked ota
Sent from my SGH-T999
I dont beleive that there is a recovery that is sticking yet. When I flashed it I did not have root permission. Went back to L2, JB was to laggy. Ofcourse it is only a patch.
how did you do it? i lost root when i tried it. where did you find the rooted version of T999UVDLH3?

Wildchld just release a rom with jb patch. I go grab it in the dev section.

So when this ota update hits, it's ok to update right? Devs give the ok, and we'll be able to attain root even after downloading the ota jelly bean update?

If when the official update is released and you want the official ota you can Odin back to stock and grab it but I suggest you wait it out till devs get a rom you can flash without the worries of losing root. Being able to be rooted after jb ota is still to be determined cuz well no one has it yet.

It'll be easy. The beauty of an Odin flash able recovery means no matter what we will have a custom recovery. I rooted the leak jb build by flashing cwm in Odin. I unchecked reboot so I could pull the battery and key combo into recovery. If you let it boot after Odin recovery you have to Odin recovery again cus it'll be overwritten. When you get into recovery just flash superuser and binary and you'll have root.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Download the official Superuser binary+app at: "h tt p:/ /a n droid su.c om/ sup eru ser/" (no spaces), and flash it in your recovery.
If your recovery is not working (due to the update) or whatever, then just reflash it using odin or heimdall. flash either CMW or TWRP:
"ht tp ://ww w.cl ockw orkmo d.co m/ro mma nager/"
"ht tp: //t eamw .i n /pro ject/t wrp2 /106"

I think the odin links are pretty famous by now, so I won't bother to post them.

is there a way to backup the current custom ics rom i have on my phone to a ftf flash file?
if its possible it can save me a lot of time if i downgrade to GB and then come back to my current ics rom because i dont need to root, worry about the base band and stuff like that.
is this possible? couldnt find anything on google :/
Nope
Not possible

But if you rooted ur mobile, when u update your mobile with PCC or SEUS, the root is gone. Only if your bootloader is locked.
Suppose if you rooted your mobile - you are able to take backup of current rom using rom manager and use the rom manager to install the backup rom. :laugh:
Note down phone details (Baseband, Android version etc.,). You will get everything from the XDA. :good:
Hit thanks if I helped you. :victory:

Didn't know that rom manager works on xperia arc?!
If you have rooted phone than install CWM and make nandroid backup,it's much easyer and it will restore everything you had on your phone when you did the backup.Cheers

Pfft... n00b..
Well if this were possible there would have been no reason to unlock the bootloader to install custom ROMs like CM or AOKP et al..
The main reason we cannot create an ftf file for a ROM other than Stock iss that we do not know how Sony encodes its files in the .sin format. I have been trying to decode and encode the .sin files but till now every try has been an epic Fail..

Hi Everyone
I unlocked my bootloader a few months ago, rooted, and I flashed a version of ICS, which I think is stock. I dont have receovery installed, I tried to sort that out last night, but I got lost amongst and couldnt work out what to install and how.
Its 4.0.4 - 6.1.A.2.45 - and I am having a few issues with it. It seems to be laggy, the camera freezes when recording video and often crashes and doesn't save the video and the WIFI is just hopeless!
Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there a better .ftp for me to flash? Please leave links if possible because this issue is just driving me insane!
thanks!
Amanda
hi, try to locked your bootloader then repair via pc companion.
and also, for your other question click my signature "Read ME".
If it's unlocked the bootloader then fastboot a custom kernel. Advanced stock is great. Then flash a custom rom. May as I flash a Jellybean rom

The only problem with this is, you need to flash the doomkernal, which requires flashing back to GB? Then you need to install a host of other apps to get it too work. Just so I can flash a custom rom, wow, nothing is easy is it,
This phone is just so damned hard to do anything with, I am considering going to the new Samsung when it comes out in a few months!
No just flash advanced stock kernel instead from development forum. It's ridiculously easy once you're unlocked and have a cwm kernel flashed
Download a custom rom to the phone (i recommend pac rom)
Download advanced stock kernel to pc. Fastboot using that guide.
Then boot into recovery and install zip from sd and pick pac rom (follow the guidelines in pac rom thread for flashing)

Well u can still root your phone even it has a locked bootloader. u just cant have cwm recovery and cant use a custom kernel.
Thanks! Are there any other roms or tweaks that I can flash to my locked Xperia ion? It is an LT28at, but I flashed the LT28h onto it excluding the baseband so Im still getting my LTE from AT&T. Fairly new to all this and think its incredible!!! Thanks for all the support.
Sent from my LT28h using xda app-developers app
You can actually flash another version, like the lt28h, root it and install cwm. I have the lt28at flashed with lt28h jelly bean, rooted and have cwm, its totally possible. Just have to read the threads, then read it again and follow the instructions closely. Once you have cwm you can flash other roms even with a locked bootloader.

Unfortunately once we have JB, CWM doesn't stick, actually it doesn't work at all. So the best I have right now is a rooted flex with the official OTA update...but no CWM At this point I only know of one other rom that is available, Ice cream flex and that is with ICS of which CWM works with.
I bought this phone for a family member. I did not read the forums ahead of time , but have learned that being on 4.3 is pretty crappy because you cant downgrade. i odined a root image of 4.3 found in the forums. I installed a recovery. I tried to upgrade to 4.2.2 cm11 and it failed. am i not able to install any roms on this phone at all, because of the knox 4.3 restrictions?

No. Check to make sure you have latest recovery, or try a different one.. Why would you want to install 4.2.2 when there is KitKat 4.4.2?

Afaik, cm still never updated their updater-scripts to include NC2 firmware in the asserts. Youll need to manually edit it in.
