Does anybody have the ftf for the original Thai stock firmware? I want to restore my XM Dual to the factory condition. I only have a CWM backup which I can't relock. SUS only downloads the latest 15.5.A.0.18 firmware.
Thanks.

I have a nandroid backup of the .42 gb rom and im currently on stock ICS.
When i restore the .42 rom i cant start my wifi, as the kernal remains of ICS.
I have a locked bootloader, Arc S.
Can I just flash the kernal after restoring .42?
And can someone plz explain how i do this?
And if i need just a kernal file can someone plz gimme the link for it?
Thanx...
Use "repair phone" in PC Companion, it'll remove everything and flash rom, correct kernel etc.
Pc companion is not detecting my phone when i restore .42

Try to flash .42 ftf file using flashtool first.

Can u provide me with a .42 ftf ? Im sorry, cant seem to find one. Dont want to use wontan. Im stuck on ICS. Any help would be nice plz.
Most stock roms are here
Usually the resources for ARC/ARC S are in the "Xperia Arc General" Section
And from unlocked bootloader? Can do directly with FlashTool or first I have to flash the Stock Kernel?
Downgrade from nandroid
Hi,
I have a xperia neo....with rooted stock firmware .62 and unlocked bootloader (testpoint method)...I have taken a nandroid backup of it
I just wanted to try out ics...so planning to update using PCcompanion
Before updating...i just want to know
1. whether it's possible to downgrade to gb through cwm nandroid restore? Do I need to flash the kernel for .62 after the nandroid restore ?
2. will root access be restored after the downgrade? Since .62 is cannot be rooted, I'll have to flash .42 to get root access
I don't want to start restoring all the installed apps...hence thinking of using nandroid backup against flashtool
I m on Mooded 90.4 using base .431 firmware!
I think of moving from ICS to Stock GB .62 firmware but when i flash the .62 firmware using flashtool, i get an error saying that flashing has been canceled and when i select the firmware in the flash mode section,nothing shows up on the right ! (for eg. Exclude kernel,baseband like that all the options are unavailable)
But when i flash any other ICS ftf file it flashes properly!
Is the prob is with flashtool?
I m using the latest version of flashtool!
Note: The .62 ftf file is not corrupted, it worked with previous versions of flashtool(eg. with 0.7.0 one)
Gb ftf needs flashtool 0.6.9. /0.7.0
Ics needs 0.8.0 /0.8.5
So downgrade flashtool to flash Gb ftf

Oh i see!
Thanx a lot!
Is it best to flash the entire .62 ftf or flash the arconium rom via recovery from ics?

the .62 firmware cannot be rooted hence i wuld any day suggest ou to flash a rom . while on he other hand, acronium is a excellent rom and is very battery efficient
@link-in,
He's got an unlocked bootloader. Rooting the .62 isn't going to be an issue.
I've flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware on my Xperia PLAY. but it won't boot. then I've try to flash the other firmware (which is 4.0.2.A.0.62), it normal and working. my question is, why my Xperia PLAY does not boot on 4.0.2.A.0.42?
Do you use flashtool? It may be that the .42 ftf is corrupted and the .62 one not. Did you flash other .42 ftf´s from different sources? Because for me, it worked when i wanted to downgrade to .42 for testing purpose.

Hi, I'm new in this forum and the last week i bought an Xperia S.
I used flashtool to flash the 6.1.A.2.55 firmware, is it possible to root the phone with locked bootloader?
Thanks
P.S. Sorry for my english I'm italian
yes its posible - flash official .45 FW. root it via Bin4ry method + install cwm, download prerooted .55 system, falsh it via CWM, after that via flash oll flash ONLY kernel and baseband from .55 ,,
Ok i did it thank you
Ok guys, i have installed official Rogers jellybean firmware for the xperia ion via seus. I have created an ftf file already from that firmware, but i need to pull the kernel.sin from that ftf file so i can send it to doomlord to update his rooting tool and add rogers firmware.
Not sure how to pull the kernel.sin file tho??
