help down grading to gb from ics

my phone is xperia arc s lt18i build number 4.1.B.0.431 it is ok if i will download the gb for xperia arc LT15i because it has the same build number, my arc s build number is not on the choices for arc s but is has the same build number on arc w/c is 4.1.B.0.431
Since rooting directly in 4.0.4 is not possible, one needs to downgrade to a rootable GB ROM to root. (Skip this step if you are already in GB).
To Downgrade, you need to flash an old GB ROM ftf to your device.

None of them. If you want to root 4.0.4, download THIS and THIS. First downgrade kernel (first link) with flashtool, then use Root toolkit, then upgrade kernel, and you'll have rooted 4.0.4...
If you want to root GB, simple way is to flash .42 and root it with THIS. I still wasn't able to root .62 but I heard there is a way.
P.S. you have to download LT18i firmwares.

Download an ftf of your choice and do what you want with it. It's not possible to repack ftf's.
