Hello. I need your help. I have a xperia Sola and i unlocked bootloader. Then i rooted using a custom ROM. This custom ROM is really terrible. Now i have Build Number 6.0.B.1.564 and Kernel Version is 2.6.35.7+. How i can restore all to default ROM and Kernel? Or can you suggest me the best ROM for Sola? Thank you.

Since you are on unlocked bootloader i suggest you install jb. It has been ported for sola too but don't know if and which bugs could exist.
If you want to restore the stock rom, search the ftf file from sola development section and dowload it. Flash it via flashtool and you are done.

jb is jellybean. Latest android os. Check here a modified version of jb --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288630
.img is not the custom rom but the kernel mate.
As about stock: download the ftf and open it with winrar. Extract kernel.sin and flash it via fastboot mode. After that flash via flashmode the ftf..
Stock
Jb(jelly bean) is a new branch of software newer than Ics(ice cream sandwich), in my opinion i recomend ultimate rom V4z but you have to read the instructions and last posts carefully.
In case you still dont want to install a new rom, heres the stock,

Hello all. I decided to install Hybrom on my Xperia mini pro (sk17i) but i'm little confused at the moment and don't know what to do. I have installed CM 7.2.0 rom with FreeXperia kernel. If i want to install the Hybrom, i just need to flash stock firmware via flashtool, install Clockwork once again, then install some custom kernel like Rage and then install the rom? Or do something else? And do i need to relock the bootloader to flash stock firmware?
Install stock firmware, install kernel, install ROM. That's all. No relock needed. Custom kernel already includes Recovery so it is not needed.

And when i flash firmware, wipe is automatically done so i don't need to do it manually?

Flashing stock firmware - if you choose it in Flashtool, then yes.
Custom - no, you have to do it yourself before installing the ROM.

Thank you, I really appreciate your answer, but I have one last question. Does the firmware already include rom and kernel, or rom only? And do I have to install newer baseband to it to make the custom rom work?

Stock firmwares in .ftf file already include ROM and kernel both.
Most custom ROMs have their own custom kernel that you need to install yourself. Sometimes it is written in the topic as separate download link, sometimes it is included inside the .zip file, then you need to extract it and flash via fastboot. Check my tutorial, if you need help with it.
Baseband will depend on the custom ROM.
I am currently on a custom ICS ROM.. And I want to try some GB ROMs too.. So what should I do?
Should I first flash the GB's stock ROM? If yes, then with which kernel?

Flash generic global .42 (comes with correct kernal) root it then OTA update to 62 install cwm then go from their do wat you want
But since I have an unlocked bootloader, do you think I would be able to update OTA?
Won't it brick the phone?

So what should I do?
Should I flash the 0.62 ftf file using flashtool directly and then root it with the Doomlord's kit?
Or any other suggestions???

He's on unlocked bootloader, why messing with ota's..
@OP: if you wanna jump straight to some custom rom: flash .62 .ftf, and flash any custom kernel advised by rom creator.
Its same as you did with ics, first stock .ftf then kernel, then rom.
Hey man. If you previously were using the latest ICS Sony ROM before hopping to a custom ROM, then simply flash the kernel of that Custom GB ROM, wipe everything and flash as usual. You are good to go. There is no need to downgrade so long as you're on latest.

you mean first i have to flash with official stock rom or what??Plz tell me..
You need the ICS stock rom first to get the kernel.
Look for the global ICS file in the forums. It's on a torrent.

Yes u should read that rom is based on 6.1 not 6.0 (gb)
So if u want that rom just flash 6.1.b.1.10 and then flash the pure blood rom as per instructions
After installing pureblood ROM via CWM,switch off the phone and then flash .54 Kernel through flashtool by putting in fastboot mode.No need for installing stock ics.I can provide you the kernel file,if you need.
waht is best between Ultimate sola and pure blood?
ultimate saola is v1, it's mean that pure blood v2 is most recent?

They are different ROMs. One is stock lite (All bloat removed). The other is stock enhanced.
Check the thread to see which is which.
