i reinstalled baseband .70 and the device is working again why did stop working after downgrading to .64 baseband....i want to go back to GB
Flash a full rtf that includes baseband, 62 if unlocked 42 if not, safer than just meddling with parts of the system

Yeah just needs to be a full ftf contains all the partitions, always a good idea to have one hanging around.
First thing I do with s new device, find a way to recover then root back up firmware and build.prop then you can usually recover from most soft bricks

I returned to GB but I kept .70 baseband. It works just fine.
Hi guys,
I've been trying this method as well, but all it says is this...
I've tried a lot of ways to get back to original state, but nothing seems to work.
any help please
Yeah try flashing the right partition, you've got cache selected.
Use flashtool not quickimg, quickimg is only for flashing kernel only.

I tried every option....
Problem with going into recovery is that it gives me the E: can't mount 'cache' partition and a bunch of other errors...
Recovery has nothing to do with flashtool......

Ok, think I got it now (with Flashtool).
It seems the FTF's I've used were not the full ones.
The one indicated contains more files than the other two (disregard kernel 4.0.2.a.0.62.
I'm back on the stock rom now and gonna keep it that way until ICS is officially released for NEO..

Should work as it is with Nightelf's RC2, right? [pretty sure, it would, but still]
There's no reason why not, but if you've nightelf kernel you have recovery to flash the zip for root, which is certainly quicker.

Download This folder
http://min.us/mq5bOi0IX
extract the ics nandroid to your sd card (sdcard/clockworkmod/backup)
place the ftf in flashtool/firmwares on your pc
reboot to recovery and restore the nandroid, this will wipe your data, use advanced restore, system only if you wish to preserve, although its better practice to wipe data especially in version jumps.
when complete power off the phone, read that again power of the phone, do not reboot you will get a boot loop.
now open flashtool on your pc, click the lightning symbol select flashmode, select the ftf for ics kernel, follow the instructions on screen to flash the kernel.
all done you should now boot to a prerooted ics.

I have reverted back to .42 after flashed it to Sony Nordic ICS.
I have one question, when you say "extract ICS nandroid to sdcard", from where can I get nandroid backup? I never have one... (I am noob on nandroid stuff, but know CWM recovery )
I downloaded K15, restored on .42 with recovery... applied Neo V patch, switched off from recovery, started Flashtool with ICS kernel & flashed it immediately.
But when I restart, it does not boot beyoned "Sony" logo, I waited for 10-15 min.
My first suspect is K15 does not support "stock kernel", can anybody know any ROM compatible with "Stock Kernel" of Sony??
Thanks!
Yes the nandroid (a nandroid is just s backup imagee taken with cwm, there is a zip that include one in the folder I posted)is the official ics, just already rooted. The ftf is just the stock ics kernel.
As for the ka13 question that's more suited to his thread , although the beta kernels work on official I haven't tried the other way around but they should be compatible.

Thank you so much!! It worked... but you have to update "busybox" from "Busybox Installer Free" from market.
After that Titanium & CPU Master works..
Many thanks.
Also, by my experience I would advise you to update the OP with clear instructions like...
Download these two files..
1) Kernel FTF
2) Nandroid backup

yeah thanks just need to register... (not pay) i use your 2.3.4 actually.. it give me ability to upgrade in .62 without loosing root... and now "bonus" PCC ask me to upgrade ICS centraleurope version... just all i need with a downgrade :d
Hi,
I have a xperia neo....with rooted stock firmware .62 and unlocked bootloader (testpoint method)...I have taken a nandroid backup of it
I just wanted to try out ics...so planning to update using PCcompanion
Before updating...i just want to know
1. whether it's possible to downgrade to gb through cwm nandroid restore? Do I need to flash the kernel for .62 after the nandroid restore ?
2. will root access be restored after the downgrade? Since .62 is cannot be rooted, I'll have to flash .42 to get root access
I don't want to start restoring all the installed apps...hence thinking of using nandroid backup against flashtool
heres a video on how to :
SIMPLEST WAY TO DOWNGRADE TO 2.3.4 factory firmware
...Hi, hope i can help you after i spent myself days looking to root or flash my device, with no luck. There is just 3 simple steps to follow and you are done. Trust me its working fine:
1. Go To: (http thing) i cant link as new user...//androidadvices.com/downgrade-sony-xperia-arc-official-gingerbread-23-firmware/2/ and download 2 files (flashtool and Xperia Arc S firmware package... works for xperia arc, arc s, pro, etc). This is the Gingerbread 2.3.4
2. Unzip, install and start (as admin) Flashtool, then COPY XPERIA ARC S FIRMWARE PACK (is a .ftf file) INTO Installed Flashtool, FIRMWARE Folder (PASTE inside), START FLASH, choose FLASHMODE, follow on screen steps.
P.S. When restart your phone in FLASHMODE: With the phone turned off, press and HOLD BACK button, while connect USB, next seconds, you'll get the GREEN Light(phone) and flashing begins.
3. ENJOY your new installed GINGERBREAD 2.3.4 Firmware
P.S. ...NO ROOT REQUIRED... ...and yes, i know there are more than 3 steps... so? still works great. GOOD LUCK
Dear Users,

If it is possible i want to keep my files (music,gamesaves and so on). My Xperia S isn´t rooted and has a locked bootloader. I´ve used the search but could not find any related topics regarding this on Xperia S.

Yes same tool to upgrade and downgrade.
In flashtools you can un-tick wipe user data to preserve all the data but not recommended.
Best way is to backup with a backup tools and restore after flashing what you need.

You are making things very complicated for yourself.
No need to root,just use any backup application without root access.
Only backup the contacts if you didn't by Google account and sms.
All the files in the sd will be intact.

Everyone thinks that unknown baseband means corrupted efs but not always. First try taking out your battery for 3 min and pit it back. Your baseband may come back. Works for me.

Just update your phone and see what happens. 2.3.4 isn´t the best firmware imo

Hi all, sorry if this has been posted before, i cant seem to find links to such problem. Ive flashed sony tablet s from 4.0.3 release2(rooted) to 4.0.3 release 1a (done wipe data before flash stock 1a), rooted the tab using condi's 5.2, and later using condi's custom pre-rooted release r5.. All went well, tab upgraded to r5. Problem is whenever i reboot the tab, it goes back to 4.0.3 release2 and vice versa. Tested it a few more time to see if sticks to one fw but it switches from release2 to r5 every single reboot.. Help anyone? Thanks...

I did a factory reset in both partitions. I think I tried it in recovery too. It's working ok for now. It's stopped messing up my apps, I'll also know if it's rebooted itself because it will be stuck in boot loop. Since I upgraded to R5 it hasn't crashed once.
