This is my question
why all the ROM out there are needed to be flash from xrecovery within the phone itself
Is there any thing like X10i_2.0.2.A.0.24_Generic.ftf?? That flash through USB cable?
Like old time? I flash my k800i and w810i those kind of method (flash via USB)
basically:
xrecovery flash *.img files
flashtool flash *.ftf witch came from *.sin files like the ones you found on SEUS or PCC
you CAN flash SE firmware through xRecovery without using SEUS or PCC but you need to do that in 2/3 or 4 steps.
1. flash phone with SE firmware;
2. backup SE firmware through xRecovery;
3. transform *.img files into something readable on xRecovery so that you can flash a new rom with it.

Thanks for reply
Just wanted to know what's the different of them? Regarding performance or stuffs like that?
Like maybe ftf is better or maybe flash through xrecovery is better... stuffs like that

thanks ahead
if you want to try it,first thing you need to have flashtool.
You can download Flashtool from this thread
You need original file from SEUS in order to flash the original kernel (FW.62) back to you phone.
Kernel only Flashtool files :
- Xperia Arc LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Neo MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Mini Pro SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Mini ST15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Xperia Active ST17i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
- Live With Walkman WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.42_kernel only.ftf
You will need loader.sin to create bundle for flashing original .62 kernel
i will working on a guide later :-D
downgrate to 42 Fw with wotanserver.com its best way
updated 1st post with completed guide. :-D
Please, also include sk17a for us south americans

put downloaded file to flashtool\firmware folder
flash your device using flashtool using downloaded file.
after that try to root your device with zergrush method
this can be achive using flashtool as well
after your phone was ROOTED,you need to flash .62 back to your device.
you need firmware from SEUS can be found on
SEUS\DB\13740270\blob_fs
copy any file named FILE_?????????
there should be 3 files like that,if you found serveral files like that copy the newest files
put it on one folder
download loader.sin and put it on that folder
create new bundle :
1. open flashtool
2. advanced -> decrypt files
3. point the folder contain SEUS FW + loader.sin
4. after file decrypted it will show bundle creation
5. just select kernel.sin and loader.sin
6. fill device , version and branding
7. flash your device with the newly created file
to test if your have correctly flash .62 kernel,try to run zergrush exploit on your device

dont understand. it's need to unlocked bootloader?
root 62
I used Flashtool-0.6.6 and in it the "Flash FastBoot Mode"> "Select a HotBoot kernel" in which kernel to boot on your PC (I used it from FXP 103). after the start I went into recovery and flash file RootXperia.zip + Recovery-Addon.zip. then restart and mini default kernel + root + recovery
for files and Recovery RootXperia.zip-dik Addon.zip belongs to people from XDA.
I'm sorry for the google translator English better

if zergrush exploit working on erlier kernel,it should give us a way to gain root access.
We don't need to unlock bootloader in order to flash kernel files that originally come from SEUS.
What do you actually mean with 'you need firmware from SEUS'?
I have been trying to figure out what SEUS is and where I can download it.
after your phone was ROOTED,you need to flash .62 back to your device.
you need firmware from SEUS can be found on
SEUS\DB\13740270\blob_fs
how to get? where is the link? can u upload video tutorial?

Hello, I have flashed my phone back to the .58 kernel, but I still can't root. In the service menu it now says:
Phone software version: 1244-7088_4.0.2.A.0.58, generic - user
but file system version says: world-i_4.0.2.A.0.62
In the "about phone" menu, it also says build .62.
The deletable pre-installed apps such as Wise Pilot and UEFA came back and PCC tells me that is new firmware available again (.62)
What am I doing wrong?

Same thing here. I don't even have a update service folder. Mine says update engine. Still can't find SEUS\DB\13740270\blob_fs.
And you say SEUS is Sony Ericsson Update Service, is that the same as Sony Ericsson PC Companion?
im not sure about this step:
6. fill device , version and branding
is there some way i can copy the exact same values from my current rom? im not sure what to enter here. i use a .62 claro operator sk17a
just tried this on my sk17a and i couldnt flash the kernel - nothing happens, and it says that i do not have debug on - which is not true..
which flash mode am i supposed to use? i used 'flashmode', not the 'fast boot one' - should i use it?
maybe i need a different kernel to do it? anyone was able to
It's look like zergrush exploit patch was stored at /system partition,so if we just flash older kernel will not revert the zergrush exploit patch.if we want to use. 62 firmware we need .62 update.zip ROM that contain su binary stored on /system partition.
Is there any application for andriod which can allow me to install ftf bundles and ftf files without connecting my phone to the PC that is cant i do it from my sd card???????
NO,
you needed Flashtool!

This is not possible.Need FlashTool to do this here is the link

No there are some kernels knocking about for locked bootloader only that are zips wgich u can flash thru xrec but yeah the people above speak the truth. .ftf=flashtool for now at least

Hi, I need for my bricked X10i a kernel including xrecovery which I can flash per flashtool as .ftf bundle cause of my phone hangs on SE Logo and nothing else. After I used SE update service my phone has no more firmware and is relocked bootloader and unrooted. flashing firmware via flashtool as ftf bundle failed after 15 % everytime.
So please can anybody help me...
Hi,
its not possible to have xrecovery in ftf itself. Ftf is the whole partition image - so it might be included i.e. with system image, not standalone. I dont think so it exists...
If you cant flash firmware,try installing xrecovery when SE logo appears, if OS loads basically it should be possible.
However dont know how it could help you in future.

***deleted cause unuseful*** read the other thread too late ...
how i can root the new firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54 for the xperia u ??
First, you need to flash the B.1.10 kernel available here and then, root it using Bin4ry's Tool After that, flash back B.1.54 kernel and you are done
and how i do it? can you write an instruction
i know, my english is bad ^^
Do you know how to use Flashtool ? What you need to do is either get the kernel file or the entire Stock FTF from here, then flash it with Flashtool
After selecting Flashtool, deselect all the options on top right relating to Wipe and select all options on bottom right pertaining to Exclude, except for Exclude Kernel (we dont tick Exclude Kernel). Then click Flash and connect your device and you succesfully flashed just the kernel of that FTF
Step-by-step please!
i dont get it
please can you make a step by step instruction for me please
i know my english is bad ^^
Take a look at this video It shows how to flash an ftf with Flashtool

Hey bro,
Sorry for late reply When you flash stock ftf, you'll lose root What you need to do is flash back just the Kernel of B.10 [In Flashtool deselect all the Wipe Commands and select all the Exclude Commands except the Kernel) and then you can root with Bin4ry tool or Flashtool. Then after that, flash back the kernel of B.54 or whichever firmware you wanted by the same way I just described
Hope it helps
Cheers

my xperia Z2 D6503, has build number 17.1.A.2.69, unlocked bootloader, and rooted
im planning to update it to .314, how can i do this? is it ok to update (.314) at sony pc companion? i know my root will be lost, so i should re-root again, no problem for me. but updating in pc companion with my rooted .69, should there be no problems at all?
i have a backed up rom (.69) with nut dual recovery, if any problems can i boot again in recovery? im thinking because root will be lost, recovery should also be lost.
or
can i flash new roms here like aroma? or any modded roms, i believe this roms are from build .314, from stock .69?
i read about flashing this customs rom, but other requires that the base roms should be .314
im so sorry if i have lots of questions, and im reading all the facts here in forum about Z2, im just careful enough not to mess up my Z2. i had xperia Z before and done lots of flashing new roms and root, but just to be careful with my Z2..
thanks in advance for any kind of info/replies.

the easiest way to do this is to use flashtool and a FTF
just simply exclude Data
i dont think you can flash across stock based rom versions without data wipe, it hasnt worked any time i tried, i used flashtool instead
- do i need to explain how to do this?

a million thanks
thank you very much.. this is a big info on me..
If you are rooted & bootloader unlocked then OTA update & PC companion updates will fail with modified software error message.
Like Envious_Data said you would need to use FlashTool & untick data in the wipe options to keep your data, you will lose root & the dual recoveries but you can easily use EasyRoot to root again then use the installer version of [NUT] dual recoveries.
I had some issues with SuperUser with data wipe unticked so ended up doing full wipe in FlashTool.
Good luck
use flashtool is very fast...
cant see the firmware on flashtool
i had downloaded the stock rom .314 RU, from the given list of Stock Roms on that page, the file is in Zip, when i moved the zip file on flashtool/firmware i cant see the ftf file. all i see is Device: X10, Version: V1, Branding: BLRelock
am i doing wrong?
If the FTF file is in a zip or rar archive file then you will need to extract it first, open the zip file & if there is one file in it with FTF extension then drag it from the zip to the firmwares folder in flashtool.
eg if you have installed flashtool to program files directory in windows open the zip file then browse to the flashtool\firmwares folder & then drag the zip file to the firmwares folder, it should then appear in flashtool when you click the flash button, just make sure you select the firmware FTF file & NOT the X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf file.
Thanks for the Help Guys
Thank you very much
Im now updated to .314 and searching for an update to .402
the one i downloaded zip file has no ftf extension, i think its a stock rom in rar file and is installable in recovery mode, so i search and find a file w/c is in unbranded-Australia with ftf extension
im now rooted in .314 and searches for a good ROM for my Z2
Again. Thanks for the help Guys... You're all the best. :good: :good:
