hey,
i flashed cyanogenmod on my ray.. but after all u flashed the stock rom again from this forum (ftf via flashtool).
the thing is that SE companion software says (if i want to update /repair my firmware) that the firmware is modified and it wonmt update it. now my question: do i now always have to flash the new roms (for example when ICS will come) or is there a method to get back to the real stock rom so that SE companion will update/repair the firmware?
im on android 2.3.4. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316070)
its rooted and the kernel is still the one from the cyanogenmod (i think- well, i didnt flash any new kernels after cyanogenmod..just flashed the rom)
bootloader is unlocked
hope you can help me..thx
yes after unlocking bootloader you always have to install stock firmwares via flash tool
use wotan server , it is a great way to install stock rom
hmm okay thanks! .. btw is there a way to lock the bootloader again so i can install the firmware with SE again?
thanks for the tip!

Hi. I have problem with my SE becouse i update my phone to v62. I cant root becouse is not possible on this soft version. I cant unlock bootloader cuz bootAllowed=no . I can install fresh ROM via flashtool? When no what i must do? Please help. (Sorry for my english).
You can only install a fresh stock .58 rom via flashtool or wotanserver then root it then update it .62 (now with root) then install clockworkmod recovery. You then have to pay to unlock your bootloader. You can't install custom full roms and custom kernels w/out unlocking bootloader.

Hello, I used this thread as a guideline to root my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
Basically I had to downgrade the firmware to .42 with the ftf file on that thread flashing it with flashtool (link for flashtool also provided in that thread), use zergrush to gain root access and install both busybox and Superuser.apk (it's fixed in .62 so you can no longer gain root with zergrush) and then update the phone using OTA back to .62. Updating to .62 does not make you lose root access. All you need should be in that thread.
If you want to unlock the bootloader to install custom roms and kernel I can't point you to a method that works for sure since I have no intention of unlocking mine as I am quite happy with the stock rom but there are plenty of threads on this forum about it.
Hope this helps!
I have unloked bootloader (sony's method) and ics 4.0.3.
I want to update to ics 4.0.4 (rom for Greece , not the generic) , but pc companion tells me that i have modified rom and cannot update.
Is there any way to get the latest official update 4.0.4 for my country ?
Re-lock the bootloader!
flash this with flashtool
http://www.mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd
you can re-unlock the bootloader again after the update (I did so several times)
p.s. i used the official SE method to unlock the bootloader
Will try. Thanks.
Worked !!!
I installed official 4.0.4 with sus and then rooted the phone.
Feels fast , faster than custom roms.
next time, please dont open up a new thread for this. a lot of people with the same problem as yours have been answered. just a friendly reminder. this is a development forum.
read through many posts, still unable to flash to stock rom(can flash stock kernel, but unable to update through SEUS or PCC) because SEUS and PCC identifies me as the latest version(and my roms are 2.1update1, thats latest version)
but problem is that i dont have the Install or repair option at the bottom after connecting to SEUS or PCC in flashmode
thats why i cant flash with stock rom, even though i had flashed it with stock kernel
so i wanna try to flash it with older version that is android 2.1 for x10 mini pro, so that hopefully SEUS and PCC detects that i have older rom, and download the new rom for it...
being diggin xda devs and tried all sorts of solution and in vail...
i want latest boot loader for my s3 for the sake of sds, as i downgraded to old ones. can anyone give me the link (preferably for CWM) for latest bootloader (may be from latest indian rom b'coz i live in india). and is it safe to flash new bootloader? (i mean abt exclamation mark).
Are you sure you want it? No evidence that the bootloader affects SDS... either way.
Atleast its good to know how can I flash new bootloader...
Tell me the procedure. Bootloader may present in official ROM?
Just flash XXELLA... via PC Odin.
Please would be nice by the way... and thanks.

Hi,
You mentioned you are rooted , so i assume you have recovery.
Search for the tread for a prerooted LP Firmware zip and flash over your current Firmware.
I did it, and its working great.
