You can try this, but it's not easy.
Also this

Backup
You can use the cwm recovery she creates the zip of the firmware you have installed, or nandroid backup on Google.

[Requ.]Official FW as images and stock kernel

Hi.
Could somebody pls provide an official GB image (v20a,v20c, v20g) as recovery flashable zip?
And while being at it, a stock GB kernel as flashable zip would also be nice.
Thanks in advance.
marco
PS: I'm aware you need a new baseband.
Here you go:

Stock GB V20c (Untouched and untested. Though I have cooked a ROM with this)
Flash it at your own risk.
thank you very much!

I do not understand how to install this rom? I put the stockrom.zip on SD, i boot in to recovery (Custom Recovery), i chose install zip from SD card and i receive "Ïnstallation aborted" message. Any help? Thx in advance
Its probably not signed so u must disable the check.
And i have a feeling you arent aware of the baseband problem.

Let us know if it works I'd like to try
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App running CM7
to be honest i haven't tried to flash the provided zip to my phone.
After being fed up with all the drawbacks of the custom GB roms, i used lgmdp and did the install process all the way from the beginning.
Right now i'm using stock unrooted v20g, not one single problem with the phone and with 50+ hours runtime i'm at 30% battery.
If somebody could give me a quick howto how to create a flashable image from an already installed phone, i'd do that and put that image online.
best regards
I googled a bit and will try to put something together this evening. I'll get back here when i got something.

[Q] Flashing roms

Today I flashed my phone for the first time from stock 2.3.5 to CM7.1. Now I'm wondering, doI have to do some weird complex procedure every time I want to switch to a different rom? Or can I just put it to the root of the SD and flash it via cmw?
Also, I read that to go back to the stock rom, I need to flash the whole package back. I have no idea what that means. Can anyone explain what it is and how to do it? Thanks in advance.
You need to find a full package file, one that has different boot, modem and pda and csc to flash in Odin.
which is opposed to the one package containing only one tar file!

Wow. Where can I find the file? So far I've only seen the one package ones. :/
EDIT: Also, do you know anything about the different rom flashing processes? Or is it just one? (Flash all through cmw I mean)

Thanks! I'd click but I've already given out my 5 thanks xD. So to install any random custom rom, I just put it to the root of my SD and flash using CMW? No other special random procedure needed? Nothing needs to be cleared or deleted? Lol, sorry for all the questions. Just making sure.
You have to backup your rom then wipe data/factory reset then wipe cache. Then you can flash ur desired rom

Hey!
Jeah, always do the BACKUP(better in CWM, but you can use the Titanium Backup too[its not backup ENTIRE ROM, only APPS and settings]), only then flash or do some serious things. You never know ahead, whats waiting under corner, if you flashing. Simple flash can break and you get stuck in the middle.
CHEERS!
I am new to flashing of ROM and have never done that,
After reading all above post, I want to ask if I flash any custom rom (Like cyanomod or modified stock rom) If I want to go back to stock rom of my Ace 2.3.4, can I restore the back up that I have taken from CWM. There are following files in the backup
Android.img
boot.img
cache.img
data.img
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.img
Sorry in advance if I am asking any silly question and Thanks in advance for the support

Those procedures change from rom to rom,for some you might need to be at a certain baseband while for others you might need to clear cache,data and dalvik cache.Flashing through cwm is the easiest method if you ask me and one precaution you have to take before flashing any rom is a FULL NANDROID BACKUP,you never know what might happen.

Don't just say 'thanks',press the thanks button,if I helped you..
Flashing
Basically, if u have those 5 files like MODEM CSC ... U need to flash with odin... If u jus have a .zip, u can flash it with CWM.

[Q] Flash Stock Kernel

Hi guys,
I'm new here, sorry if this isn't the right place...
I'm a GS3 owner and just flashed the ROM I9300XXDLJ5_I9300ODDDLI7_INU.
I would like to flash the SpeedMod kernel but before doing that I need to know how do I install the stock kernel if needed.
Can you point to the right direction?
Thank you
If you make a backup, resorting the backup will also restore the kernel
I did, but I don't want to restore the whole thing... all I want is to restore the kernel if needed.
Tell me, extract boot.img from India ROM and make a new .tar with this single file will work?
Thank you

Try to search forum or Google to find your stock kernels flashable zip or tar . Download it.. it will works. But pay attention to ICS / JB difference.. flash right kernel.

you could also extract it from the ROM's file and flash it I guess.
Thank you guys.
Extracted boot.img from Sammy Indian Rom and made a new .Tar using S3 Toolkit.

AOSP vs STOCK

What's pros and cons of AOSP and STOCK sony rom?
AOSP: (Can it be rooted by the way?
http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...ject-aosp-4-3-now-running-on-xperia-tablet-z/

-
STOCK: (What's issues of rooting 4.1.2 or 4.2.2?)
+

PS. Can someone please flash latest AOSP for XTZ and dump whole System folder for me? PLEASE!
Refresh!
You can build it or download of for yourself and extract the system folded yourself, you don't have to flash the ROM to extract the system file. If you want to extract it from and FTF there are guides for it on XDA and of its a simple flashable zip all you gotta do is unzip it.
As for AOSP being rooted, yes it can be rooted easily. There is already a guide in the the Xperia Tab Z Android Development (or Original Android Development) section and if you don't want to do it that way you can put preroot the ROM before you flash it (there are guides on how to do that as well).
As for the downsides of using AOSP, well you lose all the Sony exclusives like the Bravia engine and the Small Apps (and a few other miscellaneous things). I know when the story about 4.3 for the XTZ was posted there was quite a lot not working like WiFi, GPS, etc. When running AOSP you lose your DRM keys (TA partition), you have to make a backup of them (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598) before unlocking your bootloader or you will never be able to go back to 100% stock for warranty claims.
The best way to find out exactly what issues there are with the Sony AOSP build is to go to the Sony dev site and see if there is an updated post that lists all the bugs.

[Q] How to extract update-script and update-binary from working ROM?

I have Nandroid Backup and Stock ROM of ubislate 9ci and I am trying to search update-script and update-binary from it. I don't know where do I find these. Please help me on this.
it's not available on your phone, only in a flashable rom zip file. so no way to get it if there aren't flashable rom zips for your device.
Is there any other way?
