This tread should be in Q&A not in DEV.
Anyway do U have bootloader unlocked?
That rom is a 2.3 rom and you need to have and unlocked bootloader. You need to have 2.3 on your device first which would you would find in my signature below. So skip through the tread and find 2.3 Download it and flash it and try the rom again.

Dude u r in 2.1 now. It has a baseband of .49 or .54. GB needs a baseband of .71. So the only option is first u download a pre-rooted firmware image and flash it via flashtool. U will boot into GB. Then unlock bootloader using Laser's method and install custom kernel like DoomKernel.
Follow this method
[RECOVERY image] {v2} X10 GB 3.0.1.G.0.75 [Prerooted + Fixed xRecovery] to insatll the prerooted firmware using flashtool.
Unlock bootloader using this steps from
[HOW-TO]UNLOCK bootloader for X10
Then flash DoomKernel from this link
[KERNEL][X10] DooMKernel [UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS]{Rel:v06}[Dt:10/Jan][FW3.0.1.G.0.75] and boot up into stock rom or the previous GB rom u r using.
For Stock based roms, DoomKernel is simply the best.
For CM7 based roms, use FXP 130 kernel provided here FXP 130 and
For CM9 based roms, use FXP 132 kernel for better performance which u can download in FXP CM9 Thread.

He hasnt even updated to GB.. Still in stock 2.1.
Don't scare the guy with laser's method for now he is starting out small like we at one time were(im still growing) , the latest version of flashtools could do it easy. Its all in my signature if you tries it.

im about to install the ics rom
from
{rom}{6mp WORKING }XPERIA S ICS - CM9{14/8/12} {rom}
but i dont know wich kernel to install
i will write here what i did
so other can have an easy install
thanks to brenty108 for the help
If that rom is in ftf format
Open with 7zip or winrar
Look for kernel.sin
And place it in a folder
In flashtool create kernel
Point it to the folder containing kernel.sin
You should then be able to place your created kernel into firmware folder and flash it
I haven't had much experience with those roms so it's just a suggestion

You need to install a kernel called fxp132 from team fxp for ICS ROM to work... see my other posts in Q&A.. I have uploaded it somewhere.. you should be able to access through my profile->-> posts.

1. Yes u can, with GB ftf file.
2. If u think on ROMs like CyanogenMod ROM answer is no, u must first unlock ur BL.
1. Of course u can, just download the file and flash it with flashtool
2. Some custom rom need unlock bootloaders to be installed, but another rom no need that.
I think if u want to install more custom rom, mod, root and etc, unlock bl is the best way

Guys, thank you very much. I succesfully downgraded to GB official stock ROM.
Now my last but very important question is - i dont like GB and i still dont like ICS (i downgraded only because of better battery life in GB), but i want to test some custom ROM (like AOKP rom posted in Sola section).
As much as i red i can not flash this ROM without unlocking the bootloader and installing CWM on my phone, is that right?
Actually the question i wanted to ask was - if i unlock bootloader can i flash custom rom with Flash Tool or i can flash only with CWM (which i dont know but i dont want to use)?

Thanks mate.. just a question .. should i upgrade to ICS using SEUS? i was initially under the impression that u cannot root your phone is it is in ICS, thats the reason why i chose to downgrade it to GB first.

hi all,
i tried the methods mentioned in the links pos9ted earlier to upgrade the phone to ICS first using SEUS and hen root it. unfortunately it did not work out. i can confirm that the steps mentioned were done correctly. what i have done is have downgraded to Gb and then rooted it. Post that i have installed a custom rom. is there any way i can install a custom rom for ICS now?
AW: How to install ICS based rom on a rooted Mini pro
for most custom roms you need to unlock your bootloader, or look if the rom you like to have is for locked bootloader too. for some roms you need to flash different kernel first. i would suggest you to flash a prerooted kernel with built in recovery. then you can install new rom via that recovery.
For installing custom roms like cm etc you need to unlock bootloader, if you don't want to do that go here and find a rom that does not need bootloader unlock. if you didn't unlock bl, download xparts and install cwm.
for unlocking, go here
then go here find a custom rom, copy zip to sd card, extract boot.img to pc, flash boot.img in fastboot mode of flashtool or fastboot, boot device, enter cwm and flash zip from sd.
thank mihann for the excellent guide.
hope it helped

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,

Just flash official ics .54 ftf through flashtool
The same as stock + root.

Kernel (for flashtool after install rom)

Mirror:
https://mega.co.nz/#!zo4HxQQa!-rVewRUW0xcOz8WFxhfOnBR1RyjsIOknQlZ6sIPGDDA
STEPS:
Download the .zip file (see downloads)
Put the pre rooted firmware + SU zip into your internal SD
Flash both files and turn the phone off
Open flashtool into flashmode
Flash 201 kernel
Reboot device
Done
Than'k
Could you upload it with something else (for example https://mega.co.nz or http://d-h.st/) because I don't have a premium acount on speedy share, and I dont want to bloat my computer with their download assistant .exe file...
What kind of fw is this? Generic Europe? Generic Global?
Thanks for sharing!
could anyone confirm this one ?
Thank'd.
Btw, how do you make the kernel only ftf? I know how to make a full ftf and extract the kernel.sin from it. Then how to make the ftf from it? Or.. any other way? Thanks in advance.
any other link ?
because i dont have premium account.
thanks
Well no need for me to update my thread..... (kidding)

It is a pre-requisite that customised or cooked roms need root & recovery to install...
Im still using Stock rom .245(4.1) rooted with CWM. Do i still need to install .254(4.1) and .266(4.3) before flashing this rom and kernel? thanks in advance

I don't think so. I have flashed a few cooked (current) ROMs with .254 rooted + CWM. What matters is having CWM to flash the ROM which comes in zip files...In fact, I had to downgrade to .254 in order to root + CWM to flash
so to correct my understanding
ROM in OP is pre-rooted but Kernel in OP is stock kernel without root?
Exactly what are the changes in this FW
I mean geez Sony only put -_- battery improvements, software enhancements and are really very generic changes
thanks

Did you really expect them to say "Basically the same ROM without all the stuff ups we forgot to fix prior to releasing it"?

No, At least they should've given the exact things they fixed liked the "App Installation Animation is fixed" instead of saying "Various System Improvements". It seems so general

Yes it is.
Did you change anything in the ROM apart from rooting it? There are some files missing compared to my german .201 version. I don't know if there are more files than the bloatware ones, it was just a short look into it.
anyone experience unknown baseband and wifi problem after flashing?
