Hi, can anyone post the Generic SG version for firmware 17.1.A.2.55 ftf? Many thanks.
Currently no, keep an eye out in the general and development forums, usualy those places are where this shows up

Just got a new SK17a I want to root. A big thank you to DoomLord and everyone else over in this thread.
DoomLord indicates here that his root solution will work on an SK17a. The firmware file linked to is for an SK17i. (Build 4.0.A.2.368.) Will flashing that file onto an SK17a affect the basebands? Will the US basebands work with that firmware?
Version info from my SK17a:
Baseband version: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-20302203-30
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf ([email protected] #1)
Build number: 4.0.A.2.335
Sorry this is a separate thread, have new account and can't post in dev threads.
hi my friends, i am from Australia and i am interested in buying the sk17a as Vodafone launched new 850 network for faster internet and i was wondering if its possible to root it and unlock the bootloader as the sk17i, and what advantages or disadvantages it haves from sk17i.
thanks

It is a stock firmware. Besides loosing DRM after rooting there should be no difference regarding connections. This is no custom firmware. But I can't promise
edit: ups.. SK17a .. sorry overread that.. must inform what that might be first.. never came across that sk17a

Welcome in the world of Xperia
Your questions should be answered here
hth poedel
this model had electronic noise problem.....
And there are differences about the gsm bands. As far as I unterdstood the a version is for some American Bands like from bell that ride on a different frequency. SK17a seems to bo Quadband, without a got only 3 and the i version looks like the european. I could be wrong, but besides the gsm bands I could not find any differences in the models.
I personally would test that but this is no advice.
If you keep volume up pressed while plugging the usb cable into your usb port of the PC the LED should light up blue. That's fastboot. From here you can always flash using fastbood command. No risk - no fun *selfslap*

Did you figure out if this worked or not? I'm thinking of getting the Rogers version (sk17a)
Hi all, I just picked up a RAY... upgrading from a rooted X10 Mini
Model number
ST18i
Android version
2.3.3
Baseband version
8x55A-AAABQOAZM-20302204-36
Kernel version
2.6.32.9-perf
[email protected] #1
Build number
4.0.A.2.368
Except I just found out that my Carrier (Telstra in Australia) is decomissioning UMTS HSPA 2100 (Band I) and moving to UMTS 850 (Band V).
Is it possible to "flash" the modem in order to enable this band on this device, or is the hardware different.
I have searched the forum and I believe I need to replace the dsp1.sin file with the one from the ST18a but I am not sure how to do this, or if it will even work?
Any help would be greatly apreciated... thanks.
SK17a ?? OMG, how is it different from SK17i ? Is this the fixed version without electrostatic sound that users complained ?

Anyone root an sk17a?? Will the sk17i files work without messing up the bands?
So when you say messing up the bands, if you flash st18a firmware on an st18i phone or visa versa does it actually enable the st18a region set of bands or does it just stop the modem from working at all?
That's what i wanna know. most files on here seem to say sk17i instead of "a" so im not sure if i should try them.

Sorry for digging up such an old thread, but did you ever find an answer to this? I have an ST18a, and with newer basebands now available for the ST18i (and only the ST18i), I'm wondering if I can flash them without losing the 850 and 1900 bands (or for the benefit of gaining the 900 band when I'm in Europe).
Sorry for posting this thread i actually asked in the dedicated thread .73 FW rolling out but no one answered.
So here is the question do any one know the official release of .73 FW in INDIA. Is there any info on FW updation. I got this piece a week ago and i'm having .62 FW .
Delete this thread if u have any complaints.
Hi anyone from India who had got this update to xperia s
Sent from my MT11i using XDA
There was a thread made about it this morning asking the very same question...no one replied, so I think you can take the hint that there isn't one.
If there was, it would probably be posted in the developer section, or even in your extensive India thread. No need to make multiple threads.

Yes, you can flash over a different country.
Those SI or customisation numbers. Each of the country plus the operators have different numbers to identify the products. The firmware updates are based on this numbers.
There are few threads in the development section on what you needs to know. Read them, understand them before you starting with anything.
Happy reading and flashing .
LT26i-6.0.a.3.73
Hey I have updated my Xperia S to 6.0.a.3.73,
charged the phone to 100%
Suggested Improvements are for Battery consumption efficiency and Loudspeaker during a call.
Will update once i put it through test.
Hi I already install Indian .73 firmware and also prepared generic .ftf file.
I also post link in Xperia S Android DevelopmentArrow

I have searched everywhere on XDA and Google before posting this. If I am wrong, please lead me in the right direction.
I am Requesting a Firmware.
Xperia Ray St18a 4.0.2.a.0.42 Gingerbread 2.3.4 for North America (Canada) Firmware and cannot find it in FTF file format flashable via FlashTool.
The closest I got was the CE (Central Europe) Version Generic Firmware which turns my St18a into St18i which I am afraid will not work with Rogers/Fido. This is a Telus branded phone which I want to unlock for Rogers/Fido Network. It was on Ice Cream Sandwich but ICS was causing many problems. Constant crashing, Rebooting, Freezing, and it was just in general a horrible experience. So I decided to downgrade it to Gingerbread 4.0.2.a.0.42 for North America and I can not find it anywhere. There was a Dropbox link I came across but that seems dead. This has been quite a frustrating endeavor and I am hoping someone reads my message who has the North American 4.0.2.A.0.42 Gingerbread 2.3.4 for this St18a. Fingers crossed...Please someone out there?
Which firmware (Baltic or Nordic) I can install on my Generic Z2 bought from Sony Canada Directly?
Thanks
any generic firmware can be used on your device
I've read that as well. My question is why does Sony release numerous generic unbranded ftf files? What's the difference between Nordic generic unbranded ftf and say North American generic unbranded? And if there's no difference, why not just release one single universal generic unbranded ftf? Mind you I don't think North American ftf is rolled out yet.

ril and wifi/mobile data firmwarw is addapted for each region
(not to mind bloatware too)
Ahh. I wonder if that's what was causing me wifi and Data drops with 4.4.4. I was using North American unbranded (I'm in Canada) but I never did try any other unbranded regions.

It shouldn't effect WiFi cause it is same around the world. I was more concerned about LTE radio . I bought the phone directly from Sony so there minimum bloatware, weren't anything except the Sony apps and vine which I removed.
I installed the Nordic version everything seems good so far. Followed the following article

That's good to know at least.. What's the difference between that method and just downloading the ftf and flashing that though?

Nothing I think you are skipping the first two steps
1) Downloading the files from Sony servers
2) Creating the ftf file from that
This gives you choice downloading files for any region
