Arc S stock rom

Is it possible to reinstall the completely stock rom for the xperia Arc S after I've unlocked my bootloader and tried several custom roms? like Miui and CM.
Thank you

Yes, you can install stock rom without any problems.

And where can I get it? the links I saw in a different thread are all broken...
If anyone who has the Rom could host it somewhere I would appreciate it

You can use flashtool programm you will find the firmware in the thread just search it and flash whatever firmware you want you can't update via ota/pc if bootloader is unlock(first you must locked again) or if you change something from /system
i hope i help you.

Thing is I dont have the fw I want, only have custom roms, and all the links are broken (they were from multiupload), so I would like someone to upload them again.
Thank you all for your help

It looks useful for all who's lookin for the original ROM.

Thanks guys, that worked perfectly.
One last question is Waton server always updated? I mean do they supply all the new roms? ICS is coming out soon for the xperia arc s

I have wiped all my system & dont have backup.
I Have Xperia Arc S LT18i
SI 1254-9037
But could not find the exact firmware sor SI 1254-9037 (this is Saudi Arabia sales item)
I found below ones to download, whic one will be proper for Turkey? And will it be a problem to flash?
4.1.B.0.587
Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (4.0.4) (1254-2716)
or
4.1.B.0.431
Generic Trade Turkey (4.0.4) (1254-2233)

Central Europe is made up of the following.....
Germany
Poland
Czech Republic
Slovakia
Switzerland
Austria
Slovenia
Hungary
But it will work on your device (its the update to 4.1.B.0.431)
If you want your fone back to original then stick with the Generic Trade Turkey file as Im not sure if you've had the update over there yet

Thank you wolf_b
indeed, this phone comes from Saudi Arabia
SI 1254-9037 (this is Saudi Arabia sales item) But also have Turkish language option.
But I couldnt find anything original about it, neither gingerbrea nor ICS.
So I just want to be sure, if anything negative will be happen if I flash a different SI distribution.
This is the question: If no problem, I downloaded Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (4.0.4) (1254-2716),
this is the latest ICS update of Sony. I guess it will also have Turkish Option!
What do you suggest?

It's an Xperia S right? Did you buy it in the UK? What carrier is it locked to? Call that carrier and ask for the unlock code if you're the one who bought it from them. If you aren't, well good luck.
Flashing a global firmware won't do you any good, it'll just debrand the phone but that's it.

[Q] Soft Bricked Note 2

Hello,
First of all treat me as a noob, as I am kinda one
I have a Galaxy note II, which I changed the Kernell so it would assume the SD card as internal memory, sd card broke down.
I came out with a malfunctioning phone that doesn't boot.
Trying to solve it, I tried to flash the stock firmware and kernell, but it didn't work, probably I chose the wrong one.
Can somebody tell which one do I need to flash and where to find it?
Model: GT- N7100
I bought my phone in Spain and the network provider was vodafone, just in case you need to know it
If you need any other details just ask,
Ty in advance.

Hey!
I've done that and still doesn't work, I think I am not choosing the right firmware to download, how exactly can I identify it?
Thanks in advance,

check under device info., but you should hhave international n7100, so you can flash eu roms.
There should be one for your country.

Questions Regarding 32.4.A.1.54

Regarding 32.4.A.1.54
1 is there a UK customized version available ?
2 if i use one for a certain network would it lock my phone to that network as its currently sim free , or would it just limit me to that network in till i change the ROM ?
3 would a customized version for a different country be better ?
thanks for any reply's

These are the UK versions atm
regarding the other questions I have no idea, I live in swe but installed Customized CH over Customized NOBA, and it's working great.
hopefully it helps

hi elf cheers for the reply , my issue i dont wanna use the Vodafone one since my phone is unlocked.. O_O im assuming it just has vodafone bloatware... but i dont want to do it in case it wont accept my sim then, since its not a Vodafone one. and have to revert back to a older version.

use the MENA Arabic version. I found it much better in terms of bloatwareZ
and its in English btw, its just designed for MiddleEast
however i am not sure what bands it won't support for Europe.
however there is also CENTRAL EUROPE version which i havent tried yet

You can choose to exclude parts before the flash.
I exclude all .ta files
Flashing a rom shouldn't lock your phone. But flashing a rom from a different region or CDA, xould cause wifi / radio conflicts.

if your bootloader is still LOCKED then kindly first downgrade to Android6.01 and EXTRACT TA.IMG using DIRTYCOW SCRIPT available on XDA

no yasu my boot loader is not locked im refering to the networks on xperifirm via the downloads... please read what im asking based on . E.g my phone is unlocked NETWORK WISE... the rom is normally use is Generic UK but its not on the latest update... but there is a Vodafone ( network provider ) in the Uk which has this rom up to date... e.g no different network bands.. but i'm assuming vodafone bloatware... also im asking based on it being a vodafone rom would it limit other network sims from working.

cheers
cheers patrick

Good day dear.
thank you for explaining again. yes I got confused with the term UNLOCKED with bootloader only.
1. since your device is not SIMLOCKED you can flash any other region as long as you stay with-in your variant. the VODAFONE may have presintalled bloatware in this case try flashing central europe? (if its latest).
2. apart from anything else, consider downgrading to android6 or 5.1.1 for once, in order to EXTRACT TA.IMG
