Hi people! I have unlocked bootloader and rooted sucessfully my ZL, then instaled 7.1.1 XOSP also with success.
Then I've tried to restore stock ROM 5.1.1 in two ocasions, using Sony's EMMA software, and after also with Flashtool, trying flash stock ftf. In both ways, the ZL pass the Logo screen and appear to stuck in a blank (black) screen. Do you know what am I doing wrong, that I can't restore stock ROM? I am using 7.1.1 without problem, but there's one App that I'm testing that need stock rom to work.
Thanks!

After Nougat, you need to Flash Kit-Kat first, then Lollipop. I dont know why. (This it that I have readed on XDA forums)

or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325640
roms BUT the phone doesnt boot up, just black screen for 1st rom and se logo for the 2nd
maybe the problem is skipped official update with SEUS and forced with custom roms? i dont have red LED
SEUS says i already have modified firmware and i cannot update
any ideas?
First flash the .42/.58/.62 firmware, then install DooMKernel and then the Custom ROM you want.
Files from 2.3.3, a new kernel from 2.3.4 and some system files of 2.3.4 don't seem to run well together.

errything works now
(same thing happened with x10, when it was updating from 1.6 to 2.1 =)
Hi
Hope you can help. My aim originally was to upgrade from 4.0.3 to Slimkat 4.4.4 but I have never done anything like this before and I have messed it up. I was using this guide http://droidors.com/2014/07/07/upda...android-4-4-4-kitkat-with-slimkat-custom-rom/ but deviated from it when the guide didn't work for me.
I upgraded to 4.0.4 using PC Companion.
I unlocked the bootloader on my Arc S and rooted using Eroot. Then I tried to install a custom recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345741&page=2 which said I had to go back to 2.3.4. I did this using Emma from Sony Mobile.
After the custom recovery tool installed I loaded the Slimkat files onto the sd card and booted to the recovery mode but got an error when trying to install Slimkat (it said something about the update is for LT18i but my device is "" (which it isn't?!)
Anyway after that didn't work I wanted to just go back to normal 4.0.4. I couldn't get Backup TA working before I unlocked the bootloader so I have lost the DRM keys.
The custom ROMs I have seen all seem to require stock 4.0.4 so I seem to be stuck on 2.3.4.
I am so confused, if anyone can help either with getting me back to a version of 4.0.4 or my original goal of Slimkat that would be much appreciated.
Thank you

You can anytime revert back to 4.0.4 stock rom:
1. download flashtool http://www.flashtool.net/ if you don't have it already.
2. download stock firmware from http://www.4shared.com/rar/cwrJE_jE/Lt18i_41B0587_1254-8596_Generi.html?refurl=d1url
3. Placing firmware in flashtool. Note: only .ftf format files to be placed. If the file is of .rar/.zip then extract it to get .ftf file
Copy .ftf to C:/>flashtool>firmwares
4. Run Flashtool>Click on the flashing button>Select flashmode>Ok
On they very left side you'd see the firmware name and version. In the middle the contents of it and on the very right side some options. Mark them as shown below.
5. Select OK. Now flashtool will prepare files and ask you to connect your phone. Follow the steps.
On devices with no hardware back key, use volume down key while connecting
OR
after that use this to root:

then you can flash any 4.4.4 rom

Hello,
I have extreme problems with flashing STOCK marshmallow on this tablet. I bought it with rooted stock lollipop. Then I upgraded to Ressurectionremix nougat - worked like a charm.
Then I decided to upgrade to stock marshmallow. In bootloader i've got CSC code ROM. Sice im from slovakia i downloaded from sammobile firmware T805XXU1CPL1_T805OXX1CPK1_XSK and T805XXU1CPH5_T805OXX1CPI1_XSK and T805XXU1CPL1_T805OXX1CPK1_ROM. I tried flashing all 3 of them, but after flashing, only samsung logo flashes and sometimes it vibrates. Also it is hot to touch. Wich MM should I use. Or is there somewhere debloated zip ?
Thanks very much

As you've flashed a non stock rom you will have to factory reset before or after flashing the stock firmware.

Unfortunately many of the "how to" guides don't tell you that. Had the same problem on my SM-T700 and even a factory reset and wipe cache didn't solve the problem. I flashed TWRP and then it booted normally. Then I flashed stock recovery to get it back to completely stock.
