Hi,
after OTA update I am not able to root my phone (Xperia Pro). Unfortunately I am also unable to find working download link to get my generic ROM:
Generic MK16i (Pro) 4.0.2.A.0.42 (1249-7510)
There is already similar thread in dev section of Xperia Arc forum, but I am not able to post there yet.
Does anybody have a working link to the ftf file or should I better try Wotanserver? I need to downgrade because the zergrush is not able to root my phone using actual 0.62 fw.
thanks
i'm also searching for generic rom .58 ftf file for my mk16i since wotanserver is not longer free ..
i need it for a future use if something wrong happen ..
i don't want use pcc or seus since it will update to .62 fw and loss my root ..
but , maybe u should use wotanserver if u really need it ..
You are at a wrong section.
MK16i is located under the Arc,
here is some threads i found while doing a search in xda forums.

hello Sola Owners !!!
As discussed earlier in many posts about the updates for Xperia '12 series there is a latest update available already on Pc companion...
please check it out and upgrade accordingly !!!!
don't know the change logs cause i myself haven't upgraded (but a couple of my Friends have) due to some issues (dont know whats wrong guess unlocking bootloader issues but relocked it and repaired still cant upgrade it to .184 from .162)
here is the discussion on Sony forum itself :
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/46840
NOTE: Can please someone extract .tft file of Indian variant and upload it here cause people facing this upgrade issue will be able to flash including me !!!
Hi guyz,
I am new on XDA.
I bought a Xperia SL and it came with .45 stock firmware..2 days later the PC companion showed me a .55 system update and when i updated it i had seroius wifi issues..so i flashed it with Xperia S 6.1.a.2.45 stock firmware..but now the pc companion would recognize my phone as Xperia S..So if someone could please post a Xperia SL 6.1.a.2.45 stock firmware i would be grateful.I live in India.I need .45 because i had no problems with that firmware.i found a link (cant post link as XDA prevents new users to do that) but the download would stop after some time automatically...Please help!!
Thanks in advance

hi all .. I ask this question because my xperia neo mt11a has locked bootloader ... I already have the code to release him, even I can not find the tools to do this, install programs asking sony ericsson adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140702 to place you the code but I honestly could not do it, use this program Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking SE, freezes, even so I would like to know if I have my phone salvation.
I want to upgrade my phone to a cooked rom. at the moment I have the version 4.0.4 with build number 4.1.B.0.587
I never stopped using my SK17i, I've had at least 10 of them over the years, but recently I lost it and had to get a replacement.
I found a brand new one on ebay, but it has 4.0.2.A.0.58 FW.
I used to have all the SK17i FW saved, so I could re-flash any replacements I got, but my HDD crashed and I lost them all.
Does anyone have the last .587 FW... the 'generic world' version... not the vodafone or india one?

As I said in other thread, I'm not sure which one you exactly are looking for (some are customized for MEA and for India, first two links are most likely generic .587 FW). Please note that I have not tested any of those as I don't have Mini Pro. I just googled the links. Best of luck and let us know if it worked.
Thank you mate, I'm in UK so was looking for the "generic world" one, I got the first 2 you posted on download, thanks.
Hello,
I got a totaly stock phone, I read trough some topic, but don't know how to flash this generic firmware.
Android ver:2.3.3 Build:4.0.A.2.235
But I can not do nothing (log in google etc) this android version is so old, I would like to try first the last factory firmware, I guess this is it. How could I Flash to the phone?
Thanks in advance!
ts easy peasy to do, but you need the correct adb/fastboot drivers and flashtool versions, and that parts a nightmare.
I normally have to do this every couple of years if/when I lose or drop/break my phone and can never remember how I previously did it so I ended up making some notes and storing the correct stuff.
All of the drivers you need are bundled with flashtool 0.6.9.1
Here is the driver bundle from flashtool 0.6.9.1
But I would recommend using flashtool 0.9.18.6 to flash your rom because it has an option to exclude the 'simlock.ta' (previous version doesnt) and this will/could simlock your phone.
You need to connect your phone to PC and go in to the settings in your phone and change USB connection modes. Each time u do that, new drivers will be installed. Then power off ur phone and hold the 'down' volume button on the side and insert your USB lead a couple of seconds later.... then more drivers will be installed.
Then flash your rom with flashtool, and remember to 'exclude' the 'simlock.ta' (it's a checkbox option)
Edit: Btw, if u wanna root ur phone I use eroot_v1.3.4, works like a charm. Its in chinese but just click the big green button and it will root ur phone and install superuser.
Thanks, I was only able to try it out now and it worked. I can not install the flashtool verzion 0.9.18, win10 didn't allow it because it's contain a virus (win said) but i found somewhere 0.9.10.1.
Now have android 4.0.4. Play and browser not working, but for playing music and video its ok.
Maybe If have more time i will try some custom rom.
Which rom aru you using @SK17Me ?

I use 4.1.B.0.587. If you install total commander (or anything similar explorer) using flashtool, then you can download apps from anywhere, put them on your SD card and install them with total commander... no need for google play.
Browser is hit and miss... some pages load, but most dont.
I have all the cyanogenmod firmwares for SK17i (CM 10 - CM 13) which bring later android versions, though I've never tried them. I can upload them if u wanna try any.
