Xperia Ray St18i on SE ICS 4.0 BETA, downgrade to gingerbread ?? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hey People i managed to fastboot my Xperia Ray to SE ICS 4.0 Beta, wifi and bluetooth are not working anymore, please help me with steps to downgrade it to gingerbread or fix wifi and bluetooth...
There is no file manager i can't install busybox or anyother software..
I am a noob at this.. please help.
Thankyou

you can use flashtool (download flashtool + rom and do an offline flashing)
or go to wotanserver.com (online flashing) to downgrade back to GB...
you should have understood the risk of updating first to a beta version of ICS

Wifi and Bluetooth Fix ??

WotanServer, downloads and installs your chosen stock firmware version automatically. Yes, it is free, but requires a free account.
But yea, you can also search around this forum.

yeah wotanserver is good ... but i was going for offline flashing ... like in case no internet is available.... in that case i would have to flash through flashtools. So the firmware files are present in xda forums only. ? i found a .58 firmware file in forums... just wondering where those guys got it ...

If you download the firmware with WotanServer once, then next time it doesn't have to be downloaded again, it is saved on your PC.

[Q] problem with flashing

hi everyone!
I've got a problem with my phone, becouse it stocks at SE screen and restarts!
I now how to reflash using update service but its not working it says NO Update Fund and its closing please help
If SEUS can't help you should use PC Companion. I know this program isn't very good but i had simular problem and when SEUS couldn't help me I use PC Companion. You must download the newest version or upgrade old version to new. You're from poland so i write some words in PC Companion in polish.
First click "Sekcja Support Zone" and it should start download files (1 mb i think). Next click "Rozpocznij" under "Aktualizacja oprogramowania telefonu" then click "napraw" and follow the instruction.
Good Luck
but pc companion says me the same

[Q] how to update 62 to 73FW

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.
first you need a flashtool

and then u need the ftf (orig and pre rooted)

and for the instructions on flashing the original firmware

Still stuck myself for decision...
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.

1) If you are already on 2.3.3(GB-GingerBread) then there is no need to flash .71 basenand as you are already on it.
2) if you want to reduce steps just upgrade to 2.3.3 official via SEUS or PCC
3) what do you mean both camera? we only have one back camera which will work perfectly
4) wifi will also be perfect

if your baseband is .71 then and then only you can upgrade to 2.3.3 because .71 can only be flashed via flashtool using usb.

Just visit a Sony service centre... Itseems they downgrade the Rom to gb if u want.
Or you can flash ftf firmware file using flashtool. I don't think that voids warranty:good:

If you do want to keep your warranty, you need to go to a service center. If not it's more than easy on Android.

you can search for official rom for GB at the development area
be sure you install flash tool too
it wont loose your warranty
If I were you I would look here and go to XX.Downloads. At Number 2 there is xperia mini pro.
Download the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom (for SK17i) and install flashtool, then click on the flash ,select flashmode and select the ftf from 4.0.2.A.0.42.
But install the drivers from the drivers folder of flashtool before.
Then click flash and power off your phone. Press and hold volume down and put usb cable in and connect to pc. The green light will shine.
Then flashtool will do everything automaticly and will flash the rom. (Btw all your data will be wiped!)
If you are on .42 then you can root with flashtool (just enable debugging and unknown sources on phone) and click the open padlock to root. Then connect to your wlan and search for updates on phone. Then update via ota to .62 firmware!
Thats the best way and it's the official firmware and it's like you never have been on ics before!

Thank you so much dude! I will do that. But i need to know that firmware is "world" one or is that a firmware made for a mobile company like AT&t or something else? Because I don't need to see a company logo when my phone is starting.
Also if I do this, am I able to update my OS to newer firmwares if SONY release it? Like ICS or JB?

Yes, you can download from here and if your bootloader is locked you can still upgrade over the air (wlan) to newer versions of your os!
Yes you can install upgrades from sony, to ics or jb (if it's out).
I think it's polish rom or something like this, but you can choose your language and it's like the generic world, only the crap by sony (like things that are preinstalled, like mcaffee or whatsapp, playstore now, etc ) is different (whatsapp is on some sony roms preinstalled, but you can also download in playstore, it was just an example!!)
So just flash it like I told you and then you are on stock sony rom, you can root it (cause .42 you can root easily: just enable usb-debugging and unknown sources on your phone with 4.0.2.A.0.42 and click the open padlock next to the flash). Then you can update (if your bootloader is locked, otherwise your phone will brick) to .62 firmware, the latest gingerbread firmware by sony. ( I don't know excatly in which countries, but in Germany there is a .69 firmware, with no changes on the software, I think, compared to .62)
Greets!
