Since its 24, only days away from the awaited ICS update. I am ver confused on how to revert back to stock rom/kernel and relocking bootloader. And with those problems I cannot use SEUS and PCC, so what do I need to do?
Flash stock rom then kernel then relock bootloader? Then update to ICS?
Is that the right arrangement? Or did I missed anything?
And how about the baseband?
Im really confused.
Please help and links to where I can download those things
Thank YOU!
Install stock firmware from a complete .ftf file, it includes proper baseband, kernel etc.
To download and install it, read my tutorial, link in signature.
Go to a local service shop and upload the stock rom withe setool service software.

How about stock kernel? can i relock bootloader with a different kernel?
No you cannot lock bootloader with custom kernel. I suggest to make ur phone as good as new to prepare for the update

as far i knw, the ftf files already include the kernel. full wipe > flash ftf through flashtool > relock bootloader, YOU'RE DONE!

Hi, I'm a noob here and in android platform.
So I bought this sk17i and it has 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.62
I was trying to root it fails and from what I've read around here it's because of 4.0.2.A.0.62? is there a work around with that?
thanks
I didnt try it, but an older official kernel should work as mentioned here:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/2...4-0-2-a-0-62-rolling-out-just-a-minor-update/
if you have an unlocked bootloader, you can also flash this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161
thanks but can you tell me where to get the stock kernel for sk17i? I'm sorry I'm new to this I've been searching but all I could find are the ones that are modded
by the way I was trying to use modded kernels but I always get this:
FAILED(remote: The devices must be rooted first)

Isn't it the whole firmware? I had seen in some forum(I think it was sonyericsson's support forum) Xperia arc's kernel (only kernel) was available. It was a zipped file, only around 4-5mb.
Isn't something like that available for our phone. I searched a lot, but didn't find it.
Won't flashing the whole firmware (in the link) unlock bootloader?

Unlock bootloader is different than flashing the fw although it is related if you want to flash the custom ROM (and custom kernel of course such as rage or krsh kernel).
Google "unlock bootloader+sony ericsson" to find the website where you can get the key to do so.
Im using stock .62 fw with unlocked bl becoz i want to use custom kernel with prerooting as .62 cant be rooted by superoneclick and i dont mind on the effect to the warranty. Somemore, cm ROM isnt stable enough.
In other words, you can flash stock ROM with stock kernel even if you dont unlock bootloader but if you want to flash custom kernel or custom ROM or both, bl had to be unlock or else you will stuck at S.E words during boot.

Hi,
I have unlocked bootloader with ICS update installed. I want root access. I have read about one way to root phone. It involves downgrading to GB ftf. I don't want to do it. Is there any other way I can root my phone?

Its easy bro you do not need to downgrade as your phones bootloader is unlocked
just flash the custom kernel with flashtool almost all custom kernel are per rooted:laugh:
Search for flashtool and custom kernel compatible with stock ICS
I suggest you Extended stock kernel it great.:good:
You can search in development section

OK. After I install a custom kernel what do I have to do? Install busy and superuser? How can I go back to stock kernel? IF I go back to stock kernel, will I lose my root?

Superuser is installed automatically, busybox not, you need to install it from Play Store by yourself.
You can install stock kernel with Flashtool, just pick regular .ftf file, but only choose kernel to be installed. You will keep root.

I looked in sony forum here and they say you have to relock bootloader (but flash stock kernel first and I don't know where you can get the stock kernel to download) to update via pc companion or update service
So just look around for the untweaked stock kernel or make a new thread where you are searching for it

download the ftf file of the stock rom and using this thread to extract ftf files you can get kernel.sin which can be flashed.
Am I right?

I don't know exactly.
But if it's like this, you needn't extract it. Just open flashtool and click on the flash -> flashmode -> and there you can exclude all files like system etc and just kernel is unmarked, so it will flash only the kernel...
Just flash stock kernel again, then download stock firmware and flash it via Flashtool
flash ftf on Flashtool
confusion as a simple thing to download your official Stock ROM file in ftf format. After applying via FlashTool in modol FlashBoot only that. Kernel Standard ja is automatically installed and all its default settings.
: Rir:
People, people...why post when you don't know what you're talking about??. The reason stock ftf gets flashed is because it already contains stock kernel!! duh!
About unlocked bl, you only need to relock it if you plan on updating through pcseus, which isn't vital since you can flash any firmware from downloaded ftf, aside from that there are no other pros or cons to unlocked bl
now its all done, just updated wit pc companion, worked well. but now i need to root my device to use titanium backup.
is the latest version of android are possible to root?
Flash any rooted kernel, people have reported extended and mesa to be working fine. (if bootloader is unlocked)
Otherwise this method is also reported to be working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26914104#post26914104

Download official stock firmware from Sony site and flash it via flashtool.. Now to relock bootloader. Google the query and you'll get the solution easily...

You need to relock bl, if u used the test point method then u need to start S1 Tool and click Restore button, but if u used the official method, u will need to flash this with flash tool: http://www.mediafire.com/?1ytip94lm2yojjl and then u will be able to update with SE PC

Hi guys!
Few days ago before flashing custom Kernel and ROM i made Sony Xperia Mini Pro stock .ftf file (using tutorial somewhere in forum) when bootloader was locked. Now i have a question:
Can i use that .ftf file now when my bootloader is unlocked? If not, what i should to do? Edit .ftf file or something?
Thanks for answers.
With respect, Ciziokas.

hi all,
i tried the methods mentioned in the links pos9ted earlier to upgrade the phone to ICS first using SEUS and hen root it. unfortunately it did not work out. i can confirm that the steps mentioned were done correctly. what i have done is have downgraded to Gb and then rooted it. Post that i have installed a custom rom. is there any way i can install a custom rom for ICS now?
AW: How to install ICS based rom on a rooted Mini pro
for most custom roms you need to unlock your bootloader, or look if the rom you like to have is for locked bootloader too. for some roms you need to flash different kernel first. i would suggest you to flash a prerooted kernel with built in recovery. then you can install new rom via that recovery.
For installing custom roms like cm etc you need to unlock bootloader, if you don't want to do that go here and find a rom that does not need bootloader unlock. if you didn't unlock bl, download xparts and install cwm.
for unlocking, go here
then go here find a custom rom, copy zip to sd card, extract boot.img to pc, flash boot.img in fastboot mode of flashtool or fastboot, boot device, enter cwm and flash zip from sd.
thank mihann for the excellent guide.
hope it helped
