I have returned to stock rom(.58 enhanced v3)+debloat+root twice but after some use still can't resist myself from trying other convincing ICS roms. But now i wanted to return to stock rom again but i have hard time choosing which firmware is best. .79, or .62 or .58 enhanced v(1/2/3) or other firmwares ?? I think the firmwares have different performances and battery lifes. Also which kernel supports stock rom??

If you want to use kernel with 640MB data partition, you must first flash. 62 or. 79 firmware, flash lupus gb v12 kernel then flash stock-based rom from recovery.
If you are ok with 380MB data partition (stock) you can use doomlord gb kernel (flash ANY firmware, then flash kernel)
If you think that you will get better network coverage, you can flash any baseband (flash only baseband, untick all other checkboxes In flashtool)
It doesn't really matter which firmware you use, generally latest Is better.

Then just flash .42 firmware and root it with zergrush method. There... pure stock.
If you need OC flash doomlord gb kernel with flashtool

So the new ICS .ftf is out now.
What I want to know is the next:
After flashing ICS 4.0.4, can I still go back to Gingerbread with the respective .ftf file and Flashtool? Or once updated, it can't go back?
Also, would I be able to use Custom ROMs like CM 7.2 or CM 9 while on ICS?
Thanks in advance.
up up up up up up up
You can go back but you may have issues, if say you had gb2.3.4 build .42 THEN YOU WiLL NEED TO FLASH .62 THEN GO BACK TO .42.
I don't recommend going from ics 4.0.3/4.0.4 then 2.3.4 .42 without .62.
As all cases the risk is there.

I had build .58, but in any case, I can tell that as well I would have to go to .62 then to .58.
At least there is a way.
Anyways, I'm really ok with custom ROMs and Kernels, I haven't seen any reason why to move to ICS, just wanted to know.

I have read that you also need an older version of flashtools as v8.xxxxx no longer supports gb, I cant confirm this but it may be something to remember if ever you went back.

yup..v2 and above(but below v8)for gb and v8 for ics

Hello world,
I want to install this custom rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836993)
The problem is that i'm running the official 2.4.3 android version from sony. They still haven't released the update to ICS for my country
My bootloader is locked and i'm unable to unlock it without paying (Bootloader unlock allowed: No)
Is it possible that i install any custom kernels? Or can i maunally update to ICS, and get the stock ICS kernel? I would install the custom rom with the stock ICS kernel.
I would be thankful if you send me a link for downloading the official ICS and its kernel.
My phone is the Xperia Arc S (LT18i)
Thanks!
No unlocked bootloader, no custom kernel.

Yes, if it is fully stock and officially signed kernel.
That is - you can only flash that kernel via Flashtool .FTF file.
No other way.

And, do you recommend updating my xperia to ICS?

No - ICS on the 2011 Xperia line-up is worthless and not worth it.

If you do want to give ICS a try, flash tool is the first link. The second link is ftf file for LT18i. (The kernel is embedded in to the ftf file). Flash tool is very simple and walks you through the steps.

I do agree with the previous posts by the way that it is slower, but I like the features

Yes, but only with the latest 587 firmware, other official Sony ICS firmware slow you phone and give you a very bad ICS trip

Every fully stock and signed kernel can be installed with locked bootloader. GB and ICS.

"You should chose baseband .64 (newer may cause wifi problems)"
I have a .562 stock kernel. And my question is: Can I install on .562 or should flash .62 first?
Thanks.

Flash whatever ROM it says to first and then flash the baseband after. And learn to read instructions properly.

Im on Xperia Arc S GB 2.3.7 and Doomkernel v22, but i want to try the lupus one. But i dont know if i can flash the new kernel without have to flash all over again the ROM.

Thanks

yes my friend you can, but the better thing to do always it's to wipe all and install the ROM again...
but you can change the kernel
Thanks
Well... i'm going to wipe dalvik and the battery stats before and after flash the kernel. And also make a nandroid backup.
But what is the worse case scenario that i dont make a full wipe and reinstall the rom?
Bootloops? Lags? Reboots?

LuPuS is not meant for GB ROMs, if I am not mistaken.
And yes, you can switch kernels and basebands without touching the ROM.

There is a GB lupus but it has to be searched for, its pretty down the dev section
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Actually the developer merged both ics and gb kernels into the same. And yes it works!!
But, i don't know if not making a full wipe and reintalling the ROM again but, i have some problems with the camera... it cannot have access to the sd card; after rebooting "it solved" but the videos cannot be played and the gallery has no elements
The camera is one of the things that i used the most, so i have to reflash the doomkernel again which is pretty good but i have to try the lupus one 'cause is in a more constant development.
Thanks
NO the ICS/GB lupus has stopped Dev i think

You can't flash a ftf file in cwm, but there are flashable stock roms available like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425192

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...
