Flashing firmware again - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hey guys,
I have installed a framework mod that I don't really like, and I would like to revert to the stock one. I know it's done by reflashing the stock ROM via flashtool, which is what I am planning to do. however, can I reflash it WITHOUT wiping all the user data?
Thanks
Edit: Ok, I am an idiot. I swear I read "Questions" instead of "Themes and Apps".Although this is kinda-sorta related to the forum, it is still a misplaced question. Can a moderator please move this to the appropiate forum? Thanks, and I will be more careful next time.

agree...... just replace the file from the stock and you dont have to flash the whole stock.......
and just by mentioning it in the OP to move it dosent work that way.......... you can report the thread to the MOD for move to Q&A......

Getting the files from stock ICS? Right, can anyone please tell me how do I do that?

Do you have any stock ftf file if yes than extract system.sin folder using 7zip and then extract the .sin file using flashtool...... and then download e2explore (google it).... and extract the system file which is in size of GB something...... and you will get the system folder..........
I guess this is a lengthy process for you.......
BEST you request someone to upload framwork-res.apk or just flash the ftf without wiping data.......

[Q]Where can i get

the stock rom 2.1(eclair)?
I want this rom without xrecovery, without root and, if possible, I want to flash this rom in CWM, because the miniusb connector is broken, so i can't connect the cellphone in SEUS...
Thanks everyone...
Post questions in q&a section and not in dev section.
Sorry mate, I was viewing the both sections(I was searching here) and I create the thread in the wrong section, someone move this thread please...

just pay 2 bucks and get new connector, that is impossible to get a ROM without xrecovery or root but install through CWM...
This thread totally is nonsense question.

Ok, but's not my cellphone, I can't do anything about the hardware, it's my girlfriend cellphone and she said that I don't can open her cellphone...
I know that seems a weird thing, but it's the olny way that i could think, if someone can send to me an backup in xrevocery with just root, i could replace the chargemon and the busybox, that will help a lot...
@static28
Done...
if its your girlfriends' phone, you can just return it to her after installing a stock ROM [with CWM].
No offence, but most girls, dont really get technology.
and yes, it is impossible to have any kind of recovery without root.

solution for your problem:
find 2.1 back at the forums and download it to any computer which has bluetooth.
transfer the back up from computer to x10 mini pro through bluetooth
run root explorer or file manager ( I guess you have that )
move the 2.1 back up from "bluetooth" folder the "CWM" folder
boot to CWM. restore back up.
DONE!

Nice solution, but transfer 100 Mb using Bluetooth is going to take a while.

Better than nothing. You have some suggestions for our mate? eh?
anyway.
@carcass.br
you can just remove your sd card and find a card reader and transfer the back up directly.

for start you should ask in that thread instead opening new thread.

ROOTING problems with ANY GB versions? My solution is here!

Hey ALL!
!!!PLEASE READ WHOLE POST, THEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS WRITED THIS!!!
!!!IT´S LITTLE DIFFERENT THEN OTHER ROOTING THREADS, BUT IT MAY BE THE TRICK, WHAT WORKING FOR YOU!!!
Here is my solution from my experience ROOTING any GB stock version. I wanted to go back to stock GB(I was long time in CUSTOM ROM`s) any I experience big problem with ROOTING again my phone. I was not doing this the FIRST time, but I experience this kinde of problem FIRST time. Even I wiped everything several times, trying several FW(FULL PACKAGE and ONE package, with ODIN), but still cant ROOT. I was searching here in XDA all FULL day, but nothing helped(but the upd_1.zip to SD card, run it and so on). I searched second day in internet, but still nothing helped. Finally I tryed this method and it worked for me.
Here is what I was doing.
I but this ROOT.zip file to my SD card and RUN it(USE STOCK RECOVERY NOT CWM4 OR CWM5), after I was installed GB(Gingerbread) FW(FirmWare). Because if I was used CWM4 or CWM5 I cant ROOT MY PHONE. But in STOCK recovery you cant go lower from ONE(first) screen what it showing(if you push the "apply update from sdcard" button), because the Root.zip helped me. It SHOWING IN FIRST SCREEN(I have a lot of things in my SD, because the upd_1.zip not showing in the first screen and I CANT go lower in STOCK RECOVERY).
Once more I will write it down for you!!!
1) Download this Root.zip HERE(or down there in thread) to you computer.
2) But it in your phone SD card(DONT EXTRACT IT OR BUT IT IN ANY FOLDER. BUT IT IN THE ROOT OF SD CARD).
3) Run it in STOCK RECOVERY, push the "apply update from sdcard" and use the Root.zip(not CWM4 or CWM5).
4) After that REBOOT your phone and you can see SUPERUSER app in your apps list.
Thats all!
Wasnt that easy? Yes it was, but I was strugling with out it, few days.
Hope I can help someone with this tutorial.
ENJOY IT!
If you can ROOT even changeing the file name to "1" and flash it in STOCK recovery, report it in this thread and I will change the thread name and giving credits to you too for that! (because then the file showing in the first screen ALWAYS even in STOCK recovery)

And finally why so RUDE? I just trying to help someone. Maybe you self sometimes will be strugling with this kinde of problem.
I dont see nothing wrong with it.

Hey!
Sorry, but its your problem if you not seeing the point of that thread.
1) I very clear with my problem(I see you too, not read the whole first post).
2) It was named Root.zip(not upd_1.zip), when I was downloaded it from somewhere and def. I not downloaded it from XDA. I was searched the whole day in here too.
Dont blame me,if you dont know, that I dont used the search.
CHEERS!
upd_1.zip and root.zip, the different is just the name...
Why? Coz i rename my upd_1.zip to root.zip its easy to me to use it...
Its the same zip file...
thanks
whatever u did it worked had no joy with 1-upd or any other method on gingerbread only way was to flash a rooted kernel or custom rom first try and this worked on stock 2.3.3 great

Hey!
Thx for replay! Just wanted to know, dose you tryed to rename the zip file like "111"(for example) and if you renamed it, dose it still rooting or not(maybe the zip file depends from the name too, dont know that exactly, because I asking this)?
If its still rooting, then we all can rename the ...zip(upd_1 or Root or .....) file what ever we want(like "1.zip") and then it allways shows in the main(first) screen, even in STOCK recovery. It will be the great news then for all of us!
CHEERS!

Updated I8160L with I8160XXMG2 HELP torrent needed

Hey guys in my haste I received this phone today and made the biggest mistake since flashing phones. I didnt realise that the I8160L was going to have these issues if flashed with another firmware that wasn't of its region. I am now stuck with no IMEI and no cell network. I have been researching around and found that I may have to restore back to the original firmware. This phone originally came with GB and I updated to JB. Do I have to go back to GB or can I download the JB for I8160L?
Also I really need someones help I need this file as a torrent, my network is sooo bad words just can't describe this and the only way to get this file is with a TORRENT.
So please please if anyone has I8160LVJMJ1_I8160LZTAMJ1_ZTA in a torrent, I beg you to share it pleaseeeeeeeee.
P.s I am hearing reading but I could be wrong that some people have managed to just revert back to the original modem and got it working, but I have no idea where to get the modem and if the file is small.

You likely didn't repartition, so you need a 3-part firmware (do they even exist for the L model?)
Also, wrong section...

nice! good luck L users
Also
You can also Make it work your L Model with the following instructions:
1-Root your Non-signal 8160L.
2-extract this and copy all folder to your SD Card View attachment tee.rar
3-Install Root explorer.
4-Using Root Explorer Go To System/Lib and locate "Tee" Folder and delete it. It should be at the end of the lib folder.
5-Put Your extracted folder on System/Lib and set permissions to rwxr-xr-x.
6- Reboot
If Root explorer dont let you delete Tee Folder, remember to mount system files as R/W And not R/O
This method works on 8160L GA flashed with any 8160 Stock and Custom Firmware, Tested by Myself.
Glad i can help
