How do I revert back to an earlier version of Android? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently installed a JB ROM using CWM, But I've found a better GB CFW that better suits my needs, how do I flash it? The CWM gives me an error?

Sony update.

Won't this brick the phone? or brick because of the fact the bootloader is unlocked? same goes with the custom recovery?

No using Sony update for rest. ROM original.

[THEME] Xperia theme

Hi guys,
Made a theme for st15i on 2.3.3, firmware .368 (tell me if it works on .42 and .58)
Battery mod and quick controls, i think.
Also changed to funny boot animation and ICS font!
You must have rooted phone with clockworkmod recovery!
Install the zip from sd card!

But we can make custom rom without locked bootloader,like my wt19a
Besides, the cwm dont need the unlocked bootloader.
Well i just guessing
Be nice to have Clockwork, I'm looking into making myself at the moment.
It doesn't require an unlocked bootloader though does it?

Relax guy, you just need upgrade to ics stock rom, root, install cwm, or you can using extended kernel by expeacer, if you want to install real ics your kernel must ics kernel..
Sent from my Xperia Mini Pro using XDA
You can use krsh or stock kernel... Or you can flash his phone to compete stock... I think unlocking bootloader is not required for installing real ics unless you are flashing custom kernel.... Better not to void its warranty....

Man, just root your phone with local-prop method (look in my signature in the rooting guide, there's a link to a tutorial how to root ics, which is very easy)
When you are on ics, just get cwm and install real ics lite like explained in it's thread.
Don't unlock bootloader, it's not required! Unlocking bootloader voids warranty and you don't need to do it.
And you can't install a custom kernel on locked bootloader, so do it like I've written and just first install offical ics and after that flash real ics

Go to this nice tutorial, there's explained how to flash gingerbread stock rom and root ics, cause you must do it with local-prop/push-root-files method. Just do it like explained there.
After wards install cwm and flash real ics lite for locked bootloader, but check what has to be wiped/formatted (for example do a factory reset or wipe cache). Just look in the real ics thread

Xperia Sola MT27i update not functioning

I bought an Xperia Sola online recently, since the day i relieved it, i am trying to update it. I tried all methods possible and also the ones suggested by the Xperia care. When I checked online, it says my device should be running software version 6.1.1.B.*, i.e. ICS but by all methods tried, it says my device is up to date. Currently running gingerbread software version 6.0.B.3.814.
Please help. I do not want to root my device or run any custom ROM. I want to update to ICS Xperia.

Warranty maybe void only if you unlock bootloader or root.
So flashing ftf will not,I guess.
