hey I'm on original 73 firmware, and want to root, but when looking around i can only find guides for 60 and 63 firmware..
can i use same method for 73 firmware ??
I have the same problem but I don't think it is a good idea to try it. Maybe it'll work but I don't have the guts to try it out. I would just wait untill there is a pre-rooted system img for 73 firmwares

I suggest to flash to .76 firmware and flash a pre-rooted system img for .76, because .76 is much better then .
Just find the correct file. Steps are the same.
Unlock the bootloader , then flash doomkernel and your phone is rootet .

Change your CDA to German Generic or flash it with FlashTool.
FlashTool is the easiest of the two.
You can find the firmware for FlashTool in my signature.
there is thread on how to but I can't find it..
look for ur self maybe u r lucky
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.
Regards

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588586
and then u need the ftf (orig and pre rooted)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
and for the instructions on flashing the original firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
and for flashing the pre-rooted firmware (look for post by 4lex96 i think its the 4th post on third page)

thats it goodluck.

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.
Would it be a problem if I flashed a pre rooted system img for v
Firmware 67 on my xperia s with firmware 73?
Yes. You need a prerooted image matching your system version. If you just want root, I suggest you flash doomkernel or advanced stock kernel.

I heard there was a problem with working wifi on doomkernel?

Choose advanced stock kernel then, the only differences from stock are recovery and auto rooting.
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.

this is not q and a

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
