Hi
If you follow the forum you will find some posts of me trying to have last fw .62 rooted with CWM working. Even if some users can do it by OTA, other by other process I never have total success but like most of you…I simple wont to have last fw .62 working, rooted and with CWM also working. The best I get was .62fw rooted but without CWM working and if install fw.62 by the traditional way I just get SE logo and have to flash it again.
After several times I finally have it work…
The only thing I have so far is that I believe I flash what I think is last baseband and after I flash it my computer says I have a new fw to install!!
This process is using pieces of ideas from others so I just get a way of put all together and have it working for me and decide to share with you.
Like always you can try it at your own responsibility.
Fist you should have .42 fw installed.
Root it.
Install CWM XPERIA from market (not the traditional way)
Download this and put it on your SD card: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sea...tloaderlock/generic/generic620.2.zip/download
Reboot NEO on CWM and install the file.
Reboot your phone and install the previous downloaded file.
At this time you have fw .62 without kernel.
Reboot your phone again and again go to the icon of CWM and reinstall again CWM.
Put you phone off again and flash just the .62 kernel. You can use .62 complete fw and choose only to install kernel.
At this point you should have .62 fw with .62 kernel.
On my case I install CWM again just in case.
If you reboot and press down volume you will have access to CWM.
I flash what I read that was last baseband using this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?tfd8bdbdrcd4bpq (after that my computer advice me to update phone…don´t know way)
For those that consider my guide too nooby…guys was the only way I found…sorry.
For those that somehow contribute with links to have it compiled I thank them.

Hi to all,
i have my new xperia s (its great), anyway i already unlock the bootloader (thanks to DooMLoRD and Sony), now my question is how do i update my fone with 62 fw to 73 fw cause it seems that 73 fixes the battery problem?
is there anyone can also give me the link for the 73fw as well as its instructions?
also, once the ICS is release for xperia s is there no conflict once i updated my version to 73?
thanks in advance.
edit: nevermind about the link i found it
edit: thanks for everyone in this forum. now i have successfully updated my xperia s from .62 to .73 and now its rooted. and now il wait for the ICS
i do not know if i will install cfw but for now there is a huge improvement in battery. , maybe il stick to the pre-rooted fw and wait for the ICS before installing any CFW.
May I know how?
May I know that, how you upgraded your firmware from .62 to .73 since you have unlocked the bootloader?
Do you flash the pre-rooted firmware by yourself?
What is your ori generic fw? For me I really hard to find my own country fw...
Here it is

ive downloaded the orig ftf (for backup), you can choose whatever you like but i choose the sg ftf and the pre rooted firmware of sg.

Thank you for your info 1st. This give me a guide how to "ROOT" my SXS.
However, after flash in the .73 SG generic firmware, will I face problem while the official ICS update launch?
Is it at that time I will need to wait someone to pack the ftf and upload here then I just can update to ICS?
Haih, headache...
Also plan to use DoomKernel (Advanced Stock) to easily root the phone, dunno what problem will happen...

i thinks theres no problem on getting the ics update its just that the update that youre getting will be based on SG firmware.
yeah i think so too that once the ics is release they will upload here a ftf for it.
i'd tried the doomkernel (advanced stock) last week have no problem at all,
but im on a ROM now so i installed the doomkernel 04a, by the way im using
KAspeed ROM.
anyway if u flash the stock advanced kernel, you can always get back to stock by flashing the original kernel from the stock firmware.
Thank you again.
Well thank you again for the info.
I will try it in this few days, hehe.
btw, you used and using DoomKernel right.
If I flash back the original kernel from advanced kernel, will I lost root and the recovery?

im sure that you will loose recovery but about the root i dont know, if u flash the pre rooted firmware before the doomkernel and then go back to stock maybe the root will not disappear but im not sure havent tried.
Thank you.
Okay. Roughly I got the idea about it.
Now I try to root the firmware that I packed out. Still learning.
Still got long way for the ICS update yet. Haha
Thank you.
Hey guys, hate starting new threads, but yet again I think my problem is unique. I bought an Xperia Neo, unlocked the bootloader, flashed .62 down to .42 (so I can root), rooted it, and my wi-fi doesn't work. There is a full stable network, but it doesn't recognize it. I tried other networks, but all my friends' wi-fi works perfectly, and I can't even find the network. The wi-fi itself turns off after a few seconds of being on, What could I havew done wrong? Please help.

Do a backup and flash .64 Why on earth did you downgrade back to .42 just to root when your bootloader is unlocked? Just install a custom kernel with CWM and flash a superuser zip.
P.S. DON'T DO OTA. You might brick your PHONE!
jasonwsc is right
Flash .62 and then do one of the unlocked bootloader methods to gain root acces or even better install a custom rom.
DONT GO FOR ICS you will regret it..
Anyway maybe it is a bug with .42 firmware edition
Jut upgrade to .62

I've bought a X10i phone, but now I have a few problems:
- When I've bought it I've checked for new updates and with that PC software (Sony PC Companion) I've made the firmware upgrade to the last one available from sony ericsson;
- After that the phone started to reboot and at the end stoped working;
- As i know the battery is not ok, I've bought a new one with more capacity (Gold 2680Mah from ECELL);
- As the phone don't start, I've made a "repair" from PC Companion and phone start working... the problem is that the reboots continue;
What should I do?
- Downgrade? How?
- Install custom rom? How?
Please give me some advise on this. I think my phone is not rooted yet (when is starting i press the BACK key and nothing happens).
Thanks in advance.
Is your X10 used or unused? You might got a defective.

It's used.
For now this phone looks to me very defective :/
The day I've bought it was working fine i think, after update and after i try to recharge it is all problems. That's why maybe it's not bad idea to downgrade or change to custom firmware.

I've managed to download and install flash tool and flashed 2.1 version. I can't find 2.3 version or higher versions - links are not active.
For the moment I thought i have my problem solved and installed some nice themes on the phone (go theme) , but unfortunately i keep getting random reboots.
Any ideas? Should I make some firmware update? Should I try some other custom roms?
Please point me to the links.

Try to root your phone,install recovery and install a custom Rom...When in recovery and before flashing the custom Rom,wipe everything(dalvik cache aswell)...I will look for the links on 2.3.3 later on and try to upload it if I still have it on my pc and if the links are down....If you can't wait for this, root your phone and install a custom firmware as stated above and see if the problem persist.

Yes, I've seen that and is already on my "favorites"... the problem is that the padlock is in grey, so i can't root with flash tool... before I install firmware 2.1 all was usable, so maybe i can do it if i update firmware.
Thanks anyway.
Ok, I think i have it root and Recovery installed
Can I use custom roms now? Or do i need to do something else?

You still have stock kernel, for now its ok.
With that kernel you need to stay with stock based custom roms, like x10s, wolfbreaks.
Cm 7 & 9 and ics roms require a different kernel
I would start by flashing Rom in cwm then use flashtool and flash a Doomkernel. But dont forget to get WiFi.zip for that kernel.
Once you have done that and all is well start reading up on your favorite Rom and go for it. I say to start with stock and DooMKernel cuz there hard to mess up

Well you can do a couple things.
You can flash stock 2.3 and unlock bootloader.
You can flash a kernel, may get rid of reboot. Rom stays the same.

My opinion is unlock, kernel then Rom.
Root is built-in the custom roms, so dont worry about it. you will have it.

Rvrosa should read through the x10 development. Read the OP 's of different Roms, including the one from brenty108. Look at screen shots. Check for known bugs. A lot of Roms do not have fully working camera.

Dude ! The ftf's in the first link are only the kernel. You just installed a CM9 ROM over a stock kernel, which would explain why it had bootloop ( in your case stuck at Sony ).
Did you flash the CWM in the ROM ( the boot.img in the zip ) or one of the others on the forum? Because those are built on Stock kernel, and this uses CM9 kernel, causing bootloops ( This is just me trying to zero in on the issue )
Solution:
Since that 1st thread had only kernel, the files were ~10Mb. The actual ftf is much larger, around 300 Mb or so, as it contains all files.
Flash one of the other 2 links' ftf's via flashtool and you should be fine.

Hi guys I am sorry I've been reading a gazillion articles today and I simply got very confused with all this things. All I want to do is install CWM and then install CM10 or 10.1 on my ST15i. Bootloader is already unlocked with official Sony guide and Bootloader code I didn't know if it had to be done before root but I did it anyway. I tried many MANY options including Flashtool, RecoverX and some other things. I do have everything setup but I think I am having problem with my baseband. It's 4.0.2.A.0.84 and I don't see 84 anywhere. Can you please just at list point me on where I can find 84 root instructions or may be downgrade to other baseband cause I do see some older baseband rooting instructions in here.
Thank you very much. I really can use some help.

Thank you very much. I really can use some help.

though u don't need anything else if u have an unlocked bootloader,
download the rom, and gapps
extract to pc and copy to sd
flash boot.img in fastboot
boot into cwm(u'll have after you flash kernel)
flash zip from sd card, romm and gapps.
Okay this is what I call "From last dying breath" I found this life saving post. I was be able to downgrade to 42 using flashtool 0.9.10.1, then root device with same tool, then use RecoverX to install CWM and ...well then I did backup of my current system and that's it.
Thank you guys for bringing all this knowlege I guess if you search long and hard enough you'll do it cause it's out there. In my case it was just that I didn't see that baseband and android version have nothing to do with each other ...like 4.x.x should be ICS right ? ,,,,no it still showing Android 2.3.x
Anyhow thanks a lot !

Sorry, my bad it's just late totally fried in here.
Just flash any pre rooted kernel with cwm and then no need to root it again. Anyways if u want to root.84, then follow the same method that is for .62 and u might be successful. Please let me know if u cud do it
Press THANKS if I helped,
Best Regards,

the .84 baseband is GB based ...you will need .587 ICS baseband(Baseband 77) for CM 9.1,10,10.1
Upgrade to ICS .587 (there are bunch of ftf here and there )
then follow this instructions
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_smultron
Get the release wither from CM or from FXP ..Both are same usually ...FXP is weekly ...
Root is not needed to flash ROMs with unlock Bootloader ..The fastboot kernel has recovery and is prerooted usually
The problem is .431 and .587 are on ICS bootloaders (Baseband 77)\
and 0.62 and 0.84 is on GB bootloader ..(Baseband 84)
.84 may be newer firmware but it is still GB ..
Upgrade to ICS for CM
