Search mate...read the stickies.
You dont have to relock the bootloader...just download flashtool...ftf file of stock .62 firmware...install adb drivers and flash the ftf you downloaded via flashtool...everything is available in the development section.
Pandemic...where are you?

Just find .ftf and flash it with falshtool, both are even in dev sections.
I already told you in another thread, read sticky threads, get to know with tools and after that go ahead with messing with your phone.
It's amazing how people don't know about flahstool, it's practically around every corner here..

I flashed to 4.0.1.A.0.283 Generic Global rom but now I want to revert to stock rom and I want root with easy way. What can I do?
Why using that old fw??
Flash .42 fw, and root it with DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit.
Everything is in STICKY thread in development section.
Which is why I suggest you, first read sticky threads and other ones, then ask questions.

Because My phone was .062 I unlocked bootloader, installed this rom but my phone bricked when I tried to root. Now I unbricked and still have this rom. Can I update to .42 fw?
I tried to relock bootloader with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335
Flashtool said flashing done and my phone worked. I checked but it says still unlock.

For Neo V
01.Flash to 0.42 fw using flashtool
02.Root and install CWM
03.Download this & install it with cwm,just install.No need to wipe anything
(If your boot loader is unlocked use this instead )
And you have rooted,cwm installed 0.62 fw
For Neo
01.Flash to 0.42 fw using flashtool
02.Root and install CWM
I cannot find a proper link like the Neo v one for Neo,I guess you have to unlock boot loader to root Neo in 0.62 fw.There is nothing much upgraded anyway in 0.62 comparing to 0.42.So no harm in staying 0.42.And next time please mention what phone do you own(Neo or Neo V ) please.
Anyway if u did little research before asking this I'm pretty sure you would've found the answer already in Neo V android development section mate.
My phone have unlock bootloader. that's why I can't flash an another fw. Because it can be brick.

Not true - where did you get that notion from?
I did understand if you did ota or flash, your phone could be brick. So Can I flash .42 fw now?

OTA can brick your phone, but flash shouldn't. Why I say shouldn't? Because if you follow instructions everything will be ok. Follow link I gave you, and flash .42 fw with flahtool.

Hi Xsi18, you have opened 2 threads but you should search a bit before, and post in an existing thread, if necessary. If everyone open a new thread for each own question we are not helping others with same problems. Please have a read to the forum rules, it will help you to get the best of XDA. Best regards,
I reading but too long and I dont understand anything cause of my english. Delete this thread and the other one.
guys, this is my mobile's current specs (also, i have attached a screenshot);
Xperia neo (MT15a)
Android version 2.3.4
Firmware Version 4.0.2.A.0.62
i need to downgrade this to .42 to continue rooting. can somebody give me a link to download ftf file for MT15a??
thanks in advance, really appreciate your help guys.
You can make your own ftf. Repair firmware with update service, then we'll help you with thw next steps.

hm.. but update service will give him .62 not .42, right? or are you thinking on making prerooted image? hm now i got idea
@ prazadx: are you willing to do clean flash with pc companion or sony update service, then we'll instruct you how to make .62 .ftf, but it will be around 150MB after you zip it, wich you would need to upload..
then if your phone is sim-lock free your fastboot should be open, and it should accept prerooted .img.
even if your bootloader is locked i think it only matter for kernels.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong
its here mate
Just flash this with flashtool (extract using winzip or eqivalent first to get the ftf), root using flashtool, update OTR, install cmw and you are fine.

I'm gonna perform this flashing with flashtool. all i need is to downgrade my current firmware to .42, so that i can root my device. also this is a sim lock free device with a locked bootloader.
is there any other way to root without downgrading??
also, thanks mate..
There are another way to root but you need to unlock your bootloader, sorry I cant put links,but if you search right here in this Forum "unlock bootloader" you would see the options to do that.
Definitly this way is the only you have without unlockink bl. Thats all the peoplo say because I cant flash .42 on mine....flashtool stop always before 100% I will format pc...i dont know what other thing can be.
Any suggestion??

Good day, XDA. I'd like to ask help with regards to rooting my Xperia S. I have recently bought this and it got shipped with ICS 4.0.4 and build number 6.1.A.0.45 and I updated its build number to 6.1.A.2.45. I have also unlocked its bootloader successfully. Now I'm having problems on how to root this. I've read certain posts regarding ICS rooting and they all state that it has to have 6.1.A.0.45 build number. But I don't know how to rollback to the previous build number. What should I do?? Please help..

What will it let me achieve then, bro?

Also, you can never brick your device on LOCKED bootloaders so don't worry
DId he mean unlocked bootloader?

Only for unlocked bootloader... here is a step by step I put together using the information gathered from various threads here in XDA.. I have used this very same method for my phone, so it is definitely working.. if you run into any problem like not being able to get into the Fastboot mode, or I missed some file, let me know..

So essentially you are just replacing a stock kernel by a rooted kernel. What if I want to go back to the unrooted kernel?

I think TS means jellybean as the Official Global version of Sony Xperia Go JB, 6.2.A.0.400.
Hi TS! Have you already rooted your xgo? if not, Do you have cwm? or maybe your xgo has unlocked b?
TS has to go the long way around if a rooted phone is wanted right now. B1n4ry method doesn't work (I tried).
Stock and locked JB ST27i
(Until someone can figure out an easy root with cwm solution for locked bl.)
