I have installed CM9.1 in my SK17i. I havent done anything with my phone after flashing this custom rom.
Now i want to go back to stock rom.
My questions are
1. Is it possible to flash a stock rom via clockwork ? If yes then i will need a flashable stock rom. Yes? From where can i get it?
2. If the above is not possible, which is the next option available?
There should be a prerooted rom.zip in the development forums to flash it in cwm
But if I were you I'd just download the stock rom .ftf and flash it using flashtool in flashmode

I did not mean flashtool by Sony, I meant flashtool listed in development section. Try that one

Hello all
I am on a SK17i with a custom ROM and custom Kernel.
I want to go back to the stock ROM and I have the FTF file for that and I'll be using the flash tool.
My question is:
do I have to flash the stock kernel first? and if yes where to find it?
or will the ftf file flash the proper Kernel automatically?
is there any specific Steps before I start?
Thanks

just flash it
u don't even have to relock the bootloader
u can even update through Update Service and have no problems
Okey so im facing the following issue here: I have the FXP v136 9.1 Rom/kernel at the moment but i want to revert it to stock.
however, my backup is gone because my SSD died. sooo, how would i get the stock rom/kernel back? (i could download the 6.1.A.2.45 stock ROM) and flash this through clockwork recovery (not sure how you call it, the fastboot recovery mode)
however, i dont have the kernel (unless its in the 6.1.A.2.45 ROM file)
not sure what i have to do here
just flash stock 2.45 firmware using flastool with flash mode

Well, you could always flash Advanced Stock Kernel and find a stock FTF. You can rename the FTF to zip and extract the kernel and flash it.
Please hit the thanks button if I helped

Better First upgrade to ics. Is your Bootloader unlocked?
Otherwise you will have to use local prop method. Check out my signature there's a rooting guide. In the guide there's how to root 4.1.B.0.431 and there's the Link to DragonClawsAreSharp's great tutorial

my phone is unlocked bootloader
thankyou :laugh:
If your Bootloader is unlocked you needn't do the procedure in the tutorial, just Flash the ics Firmware ftf via flashtool and Flash a custom ics Kernel, for example rage Kernel for 4.0.4. After that install the custom rom

Just flash it with wipe all, but before do a backup using for example titanium backuü. Wipe all and exclude nothing.
After flashing plug off, let phone turned off, hold volume up and connect to pc, flash a rooted kernel (like I said for example rage kernel for 4.0.4) and boot up. Enable usb debugging and unknown sources and msc mode (not necessary just for sure), push the rom installation zip to sd card and shut down.
Flash the recommend kernel and boot in cwm. See what has to be formatted/wiped and after that install the rom.
Reboot and enjoy

Yes, but .587 isn't released for xperia mini pro and the other devices. Only a few have got the update right now, but if there's a custom rom based on it for your device it should work...

You can't Update until Sony hasn't released it. If your bootloader is Locked you can connect to pc companion and it'll find the Update, but it has to be released First. You will have to wait

Are you on the latest .587 build?
If not first of all you will need to flash the latest version using flashtools - there are links to the ftf files in the stickies.
Then you would need to root it again, so you can install CWM (or flash a custom kernel, which will take less time). After this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30338820
Is a link to a pre-rooted version of sony's latest build that can be installed via CWM. It would be helpful if you gave a few more details in your question - readers don't really know what you're asking for or what you want to do - which is why I suspect your thread has been largely ignored.
I don't know if there are earlier versions of stock that have been converted into CWM zip files.
I'm a newbie as my description says,
Can I know why while flashing the STOCK ROMs or STOCK kernels we use "flashmode" and for custom kernels we use "fastboot" mode ??
Is it because of the file types or boot program recognizes their(Sony's) kernels or ROMs in flashmode !?

You flash ROMs not only stock ROMs but also other ROMs and you fastboot custom kernels and stock kernels.......well correct me if Im wrong....

But we can flash stock kernels (from ftf) via "flashmode" right ?
And custom kernels are flashed via "fastboot" can they also be flashed via "flashmode" ??
I'm doubtful as well !

Ok so flashtool uses flashmode to flash sony stock firmwares (kernel and rom) in form of a .ftf (its a zip actually) file. These files are signed with sony keys.
The fastboot tool is used to only flash the bootimage (kernel). If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash custom kernels without sony signature. If not, you are limited to sonys kernels.
