Dont think you can ... I would just flash a custom ROM and be done with it.

What about 2.0.2.A.0.24??
you can install that, and then manualy install DualTouch
If i install it this way, will all of my apps n games get unistalled?

If i root the phone after installing the new firmware, will i be able to update firmware via seus in future? and iv got a silly question, what does xrecovery do exactly??
make a backup, so you won't lose any files.
I just rooted my neo v the root was successful and i was able to put CWM on it however i flashed the miui rom without realising that i need to unlock the bootloader to now the phone is stuck at the sony Ericson loho screen and wont let me into CWM to restore the backup i made of the stock rom
Reflash original firm via flashtool or wotanserver.
like Elessar76 says.
I just flashed Stock .62 to my phone. My phone's bootloader Is unlocked, I was wondering if I flash Boof Kernel and install Busybox from the market, will I have a rooted phone? Because for some odd reason, I flashed my phone to .58 and my phone can't receive OTA update. So will my phone be rooted through Boof's Kernel?
yes,this kernel contain root access.
Yes, if you install kernel that also gives you root access.
X Kernel worked on my LWW, got root access while on stock .62.
ok so when i was trying out a custom GB Rom which requires flashing of stock GB,i forgot to flash the stock and flashed the custom GB straight from my ICS 4.0.4. it got bricked and i used the sony update service[not pc companion,in case you don't know] to fix the brick and it returned to stock ICS 4.0.4 . After that,i have forgotten that stock ICS does not have root access. so i went to flash other custom ICS ROM straight away cause i'm used to flashing different custom ROM and now it stuck at CWM. Now it has been officially bricked,the only thing i can access is CWM. what can i do now?? i've tried sony update service and it says i have the latest stuff and i also can't flash any rom since i have no root access and i also can't flash stock ftf file since usb debugging and stuffs are required to flash stock. so what can i do now??
thanks in advance
PS: I've tried using the file called Unbricking xperia 2011 as well,doesn't work
Edit: got it back,i flashed 2.3.4 ftf. i guess the previous ftf i flashed was corrupted
flash a 4.0.4 FTF file using flashtool

Click to expand...

You will likely have it fail. OTAs frequently check the /system directory to make sure the expected files are there prior to update. OTAs will likely not flash on a custom rocovery as the firmware portion will not flash from that. Your best bet.. S-off now.... flash stock... take OTA. Then flash TWRP back and flash your custom rom of choice. That will allow you to upgrade to the latest firmware and still run a jelly bean rom. On that custom rom you will still get a nag to update the OS but you can find ways to disable that until the developer updates his rom.
IF you simply wait for him to update his rom, you will still need to manually update the fimware in RUU.
