Hey guys,
I'm new here
I'm looking for xperia u stock kernel and firmware because I'd like to sell it. Does anyone have them or is there even some place where I can download them directly from sony?
Thanks in advance!

For sure, you can flash with SUS or PC Companion, BL must be locked.

Currently I have a custom Kernel and Rom.
So if I relock my BL I can download and flash the stock rom and kernel with SUS or PCC?
Do these apps even recognize my phone without the original kernel?

Yes they'll flash relocked BL, in SUS you select the type of phone you have, I don't know for sure what will happen with custom rom because my BL is unlocked but I have relocked and repaired with PCC before.

Doesn't work.
Both SUS and PCC tell me that the software on my phone has been modified.
Edit: ok, I think I got it. Relocked the bootloader first with flashtool.

I have a xperia mini pro with unlocked bootloader and nerodroid rom. Now I want to turn back to the stock rom and re-lock the bootloader. Can you tell me which is the easiest way to do that?
*When i unlocked the bootloader I said "ok I will flash the stock rom with Wotanserver when ics will be released"(I know ics has not been released yet) And now I see that I have to pay to flash the stock rom with Wotan
**Sorry for my bad english;$

I recommand to download flashtool -> download .ftf file to relock BL -> flash with flashmode -> then update phone with SEUS (not PC Companion).
EDIT:
Many times (about 6 xD ) I use this method to relocking BL and flashing back to stock with SEUS.
OH.. I'm not responsible for any damages... Just for safety

yeah, back to stock den flash any ROM yhu wish to use via CWM!
I think PCC will not update/restore firmware because when unlock BL with fastboot damage DRM so PCC will not provide firmware.
I read this on the formu, but can't remember the thread name and I'm not sure that is true. Also I don't try restore via PCC.
is sure use SEUS to go back to stock kernel?
sorry my english
yhu can try SEuS but i know for sure PCC will work too provided BL is locked.....!

Hello, today (6/16) Sony Mobile has posted my SI-number on their Xperia Mini ICS thread, which means that the official ICS update is now available for my device using the PC Companion.
Problem is, I have unlocked my bootloader & I'm now running the stock Gingerbread with a prerooted kernel. I've read many topics where people get bricks by updating their unlocked SE phones via OTA or the PC Companion.
The solution seems to be extracting the update from the PC Companion, and then flashing it with Flashtool. But I'm a n00b and I don't know how to do this, can some1 help me . Just don't wanna brick my phone now, I need it xP.
Oh, and another question, if I update with the official rom, will I lose the unlocked bootloader?
You have two ways to do this. One is the simplest in the world: find a .ftf file for stock ICS rom and flash it through flashtool. And that's all.
If you want to upgrade through PC Companion, you'll have to:
1) Flash stock kernel
2) Relock your bootloader
3) Use PCC to upgrade

Are you sure it is available for Brasil?
Otherwise flash it with flashtool (voids warranty, but sony shouldn't notice)
if you have cwm installed with locked bootloader, it really wont update

bootloader unlocking and rooting has nothing to do with flashing through PCC. just connect and if it says update do it...... u will only get problem if u flashed a custom rom.... if u flash custom u wont get update via PCC.... wait for a .tft file of ics...... i bet some one will eventually post it( and hopefullyearlier than the default PCC of ur region ).... then just flash it via flash tool..... if u find a .tft of ics sola the follow only the first step of this link

With an unlocked bootloader you cant update via pcc. You can either relock your phones bootloader and flash a stock rom or wait for someone to upload a ftf and flash it via flashtool

Thanks so for relocking does the rooting matter or do i have to do something to revert back the rooting also .. or just relocking is enough
Your phone won't boot after the relock so you'll have to flash a stock rom

Yup, that's the method which I use to relock my bootloader, (have done it two times already...will do it today again...getting ready for ICS )

hey im just wondering, will my phone be still rooted if i'll update via flashtool using a tft for ics sola or would it revert back to a non rooted phone? i hope it does stay to be rooted because i enjoy my rooted jb sola atm.

Is it possible to flash back to stock ftf files in locked bootloader? I want to go from Fera rom marvell v22 x10i to stock rom x10a. Somehow it changed when I went from stock to Fera.

Yes, you would have to use the Flashtool and flash the locked bootloader ftf file. I don't know exactly where you can find it but search Google for it and im sure you'll find it somewhere. After that you can use the Sony PC companion to get you back to stock. At least, that's what I would do.
Do I have to exclude anything in Flashtool when flashing the stock ftf (my bootloader is locked)?

I dont think you need to flash anything since your bootloader is already locked. I was assuming you had an unlocked bootloader. All you need to do now is just use the PC companion.
So PC companion will help me return back to stock?
