I was able to install the stock SXP ICS ROM using flashtool on my pc but now I want to go back from a custom ROM to the stock because I am having some problems. Unfortunately I am at uni now and only have my laptop and I cannot go back to stock using flashtool. The only difference between my PC and laptop is that the PC has a 32 bit OS and the laptop has a 64 bit OS. This is what must be causing the problem. I have tried numerous solutions but non has workes.
I am stuck with a defective custom ROM and I like to request that someone please flash a stock ICS ROM using flashtool on their SXP (world version), make a back up using CWM and upload on here so I can go back to stock ICS.
I would really appreciate this.
Thanks
anyone please?

I have a rooted SE wt19i with CWM recovery installed and yesterday I wiped all the data, cache and system files to install Minimul Triumph ROM.
When I rebooted my phone it was stucked at the First Sony Ericsson screen and didnt boot into recovery. I have a Backup On My SD.
Please Help
have you tried flashing back to the original firmware using flashtool?
Yes i DId try but it doesnt even go to flash mode
Edit:I finally managed to go to flash mode. I flashed the firmware succesfully thanks kevin
First, I cannot find that kind of ROM for WT19i, could be wrong ROM to install. You can only install ROMs, that are built for your phone.
Second, you must have custom kernel to boot into custom ROM. Stock kernel only works with stock ROM. First install custom kernel(there's plenty of them in Development section, like X Kernel, Rage Kernel, bbooff's kernel etc) and then via CWM install custom ROM(install from sdcard).
Most custom kernels include CWM.
Please help me

If it connects in flashmode just use pcseus to repair the phone or use flashtools to flash stock fw back on it

I installed CWM for testing a ROM from XDA.
Now I can't connect my device to the PC and it looks like I can't get in flashmode.
PC Companion isn't recognizing my phone.
I tried several cables and charging works - it even prepares the internal storage (notification bar) but I don't see my Xperia P in Explorer and in PC Companion.
It's strange, that the issues came since I installed CWM.
If I uninstalled it, would I get into flashmode or see my device in Explorer? I don't really like the ROM I flashed, I always get force close in several apps.
Also, when I wanted to flash with CWM I made a "X" for backing up my data. Can I restore my system like it was before flash? (While flashing, there were some messages like "backing up" or sth)
And last question: When I flashed CWM I got a message about ROOT, I had to chosse if I want it or not. I choosed yes, but it said "this cannot be undone". I googled and noone posted this ROOT question before. Is this normal?
102 views and noone knows how to do that?
U cant unflash a CWM unless u go back to your stock firmware as CWM comes with different kernels. And the reason why PC and SEUS wont recognize your phone is because you have unlocked it and rooted it with custom kernel. I assume you are using GB coz i faced the internal storage problem with GB stock and the mtp process which is actually stupid of sony. Anywayz, U need to flash the stock firmware again to make those work again plus if you dont want the CWM too. But if you just want to keep your root but no CWM then u got to reflash your stock firmware, go to fastboot mode, flash a stock kernel (GB and ICS have different kernels which u can find over xda), then fastboot your stock kernel again. This procedure will let you keep your root but wont use custom kernels a.k.a CWM. If you are into ICS then u can use the custom kernels coz it wont do any damages or hiccups while u try to connect your phone to PC.

I personally hate PCC. You can always find the latest firmware within hours of its first release, so its pretty easy to get and flash it back using flashtool easily. By the way, do check the links i provided later on my previous comments. Might help you

Help men!!
Yesterday I got a used x10i. I rooted it, installed a recovery and unlocked bootloader.
After that I installed the X10S rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516960
Today I tried to go to Android 4 with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782771
In the instruction says to flash an fxp kernel but all links are dead so I found another fxp kernel that said it was compatible with CM9 and ICS roms.
I did it successfully but I couldnt install the rom.
After that I downloaded the stock-based rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693489
It loaded without problem but when it works always in landscape mode and i cannot connect it to my pc, so I cannot use flashtool.
What should I do???
Help me friends! :crying:

I think you are flash the wrong kernel, the kernel you've flashed is for ICS not for GB..
You may just have soft-bricked your phone, but don't fret . My Neo V was also got stuck on the SONY logo yesterday, after I tried to flash a custom ROM. The phone wouldn't even go into recovery mode. I tried many things to get my phone back up again including flashing the stock kernel, but nothing worked, except repairing it through PC Companion.
If nothing else works, you can try the "Repair" option in Sony PC Companion, which will flash your phone with the latest stock ROM and you will have to root it again (if you want). But BEWARE, all your phone data will be LOST, if not already backed up. If you are wondering where to find the "Repair" option in PC Companion, open the software >> Support Zone >> Update Firmware. On this small window where it asks you to connect your phone, you will see the "repair" option just below on this screen.
You may have done many wrong things, you need to divide kernel issues from rom ones.
Anyway you can set back to stock firmware (rom+kernel) flashing the fw you want with flashtool. Full wipe is a must. If you can't enter cwm right now you will lose your rom-data in order to restore phone.
When you flash a kernel you have to check which android rom it is build for (gb, ics, jb), or your phone will not be able to boot.
Then when you flash a rom you have to make full wipe and follow its instructions.
Of course if you flash whole stock firmware you don't have to worry about the things above.
Don't use PC companion, instead use Sony Update Service. If it refuses to help you, then flash fw manually with flashtool.

to go back to stock you will need to flash a FTF while in flashmode (volume down key when connecting the powered off ZU to the PC) with flashtool
