I don't understand where is the problem, you are now on ICS, you can't just flash some .62 zip via CWM. By doing that you will only(most likely) replace system partition, other stuff like kernel, baseband, data will be left from ICS.
ThilinaC told you to do a full flash first. Meaning, first flash some GB ftf, then root, then CWM, and then you can flash that zip in CWM.

hm, my advise:
flash .42 ftf, root, CWM, flash that zip you linked, and then flash stock .62 kernel(you can flash stock even on locked BL, of course if you don't have SIM-lock, meaning if your fastboot is enabled)
or you can check this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866
and get .62 via OTA update, after flashing .42.

Hello everyone,
Recently i rooted my xperia s with bootloader unlocked and flashed with cm9.1, now i need to change cm9.1 to stock rom 6.1.A.2.45 which is now available for download in xda forums, also i have made a back up of 6.1.A.2.45 (via SEUS) in my pc using flashtool. Help me to install new stock rom over cm9.1. Also tell me that whether i can use the backup which i have created using flashtool.. Thanks in advance..

Go to Xperia S forum and post this question in the Q&A section to get appropriate guidance...... but before that goto XS section and search for it....... you will surely find your answer......
Hello to everynoe. Neo v user, rooted but bricked phone... Had stock ics kernel rooted with f/w .587. Flashed UHD but changed mind and wanted to downgrade to gb, .62... The mistake? I flashed immediately the f/w, the ftf file... Of course it stuck at the file "system.[i can't remember]" for too long. After that flashed kernel .562 and tried to flash the same f/w but nothing. Now i downloaded .587 ftf, full... What should i do??? My phone stucks at sony logo...
I know i messed it up but,
help... (Desperate)

If you mean connect it to flashtools and be recognized, yes. As try to flash ftf through flashmode.
Well why don't you just flash a stock ftf?

Well, i tried it too but it tells me "You have the latest version"... I ll try again. Does this program has more functions??? Isn't it just for repairing?
The tool is mainly for updating, but sometimes solves issues like yours.
And which version does it say you have?
Oh and can you use adb?

The strange is that it doesn't say any version, just phone model, and "You have the latest version"... I try to flash now gb ftf .62 and i will wait how long it takes... Even 45'! Patience. Nothing else i can do!
Yeah well try that for as long as it takes, I can't think of anything that would solve your issue right now
I upload 2 pic to see how s the situation and give some help... When i open it these 2 appear. Forst the logo. Then the other and closes by its own...
What can i do?????
Try flashing just the stock Kernel of your phone version..
Had the same problem three weeks ago, can't flash system.sin . As far as I know, there's no solution for you. Fortunately, I took the phone to a repair centre and my phone was fixed under warranty (bricked while updating with SUS).

Yes Todor, this is what i ve done many times in the past and what i tried yesterday and i m going to do it now too. It's just that for some reason yesterday it didn't flash system.sin FOR NOTHING after 25'! I ve unistalled flashtools now, cleaned up reg, and i ll set it up again as i ll update my java.
1 quest: is there ANY possibility that flashtools won't work with a well set up system and software???
Ok. Finally flashed succesfully! Just needed other computer because the one i used was TOOOOOO slow... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Reflash the ftf file to your phone,if the problem persists(i.e version is shown as 2.3.x)then flash a different ftf to your phone.
I think the error is occuring because version appears as 2.3.x may be due to some kernel issues.

Well i was saying to try ftf for a different region but yep you can try flashing GB ftf too,even i got a weird problem with my touchscreen,it wasn't working after a bad rom flash(not ftf),i tried flashing ICS rom,but it didn't regain functionality.So i placed my last bet on GB ftf and it did work and then i flashed back to ICS.Now its problem free.
So yes..try flashing gb firmware...switch on your phone...then flash ICS firmware and then try rooting.
