ST25i_6.1.1.B.1.10_UK 1262-0728
As in title, this is the official Sony firmware from SEUS/PC Companion downloaded today. SI 1262-0728 (UK Sim Free handset) - I know some people have been looking for ICS with this ID. Due to size of file I can only share as a torrent as it would take me over my sites bandwidth limit within a day easily. If anyone can provide a proper link please feel free to upload, but PM me so I can add the link to this post. File is a .ftf so you need to use the excellent flashtool to flash to your phone.
Torrent Link
Torrent (Please continue to seed)
This firmware is untouched from the download and as far as I can tell only has the standard Sony bloat such as music unlimited, etc so no French or Indian apps to un-install.
EDIT: New link (miscalculated my bandwidth allowance doh!)
Download from Tarbyonline server
hey man! just got a qns. hopefully u may be of help.
I recently flash miui rom on my locked bootloader on xperia u. i did not backup my stock ics firmware (nandroid backup) before i flash miui. Now i cannot connect to the mass storage on my phone. Pc companion and SUS is not able to recognise my phone, so i cant use it to flash back to stock ics.
so is there another way in which i can get the stock ics firmware 6.1.1.b.1.10, specific to my country (SINGAPORE) with the SI 1261-4527? So i can flash it via flashtool.

Where did you get the phone from? Mine's a generic UK Xperia U bought from CPW, and that's not my code, we got ICS on like the 20th Oct.

Hi,
Sorry been ill. Phone also from CPW, and my Dads from CPW also has this code so there must be at 2 different codes at CPW. Strange that 2 handsets from the same retailer have different firmware release dates I suppose but this also happened on our Nexus 7's (different code's) which where bought in the same store a matter of days apart.

I tried this Saturday. Works great. What I did!
1. Downloaded and flashed via flash tool
2. Repair using PC Companion
3. Reset phone, deleting storage
works great apart from camera laggy.
Anyone have a generic uk firmware that upgrades to: 6.1.1.B.1.54
TIA
this firmware is bit less lag than other b.10 firmwares. camera bit dark. but little fast-shot. thanks for upload. this firmware isn't have update to b.54
Hey. My phone is unlocked UK sim free ST25i. I want to go back to the exact firmware I got it on. Is this it? Unmodified, completely stock UK firmware?

XPERIA U (ST25i) USB Not Connecting to PC
Hello, i have a similar problem. I have a XPERIA U,unlocked bootloader, flashed with ICS MIUI Custom ROM.
It charges just fine, either via PC Data Cable or Normal Wall Charger.
The problem is that whenever i connect the phone to my PC, it just charges. Nothing more. Cannot flash it, Cannot put files on the storage, nothing.
The USB setting in the phone is set to: Ask on connection. I've also tried the "Mount SD" option with USB Debugging ON or OFF. Nothing seems to work. When i try to flash it via flashtool, it doesn't recognise it as a Download Mode phone (The LED goes Green and then Turns off). How screwed am I ?

Nope, doesn't seem to work. Is there any usb zigg available for Xperia u ?
I bought the phone over the mexican equivalent of ebay, it came with 4.0.2.A.0.58 firmware which is android 2.4.3, once i connected to wifi the phone prompted me with an OTA update to 4.0.2.A.0.62, i accepted it and when it finished the download and rebooted it never came on, i tried removing the battery, holding the button for a long time but nothing worked, after some reading i downloaded the SEUS tool, it detected the phone fine and downloaded a 230mb file which i assume was the latest FW, it said that the installation was sucessful and that i should turn on my phone, again it didn't turn on, it vibrates but the screen never comes on, after giving up on SEUS i read about flashtools, i downloaded the previous firmware that i had which was 4.0.2.A.0.58, the one that was working fine before the OTA, file name is
SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_GLOBAL.tft
I start flashtools and select the firmware, phone is detected fine but the flashing gets stuck at
Processing system.sin
Checking Header
Flashing data
i left it running for 30 mins and it didn't move from there, the person that sold it to me says the phone is new and says that it is my fault that the phone doesn't work anymore because according to him he asked in an email not to update the phone or the warranty was void with him, i live in mexico so there's not a sony center i can go for help, i really want to fix the phone, was pretty excited about getting it and now it wont turn on
what can i do next?

Well there must be a problem with the phone already.
Or else why would the seller say "not to upgrade"?
Flashtool was the only option that i would have recommended.
But you say it didnt work.
Are you sure you put the phone in flash mode?
---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------
And by the way, it takes time for the phone to turn on after an update.
Leave it for a while and see if it opens or not.

Have you asked the person from whom you bought the phone whether the bootloader of the phone is locked or unlocked?
I ask this because the people with unlocked bootloader are advised not to accept ota updates as it will brick their devices.

6. Turning the "brick" into a smartphone
If you had unlocked bootloader and did OTA(Over the Air) update, then you probably ended up with a dead phone, aka brick. Don't worry, it is not completely bricked, still can be saved!
Download UnbrickingXperia2011.zip file from this post below.
Unpack the .zip file and place the .ftf file in Flashtool\firmwares folder.
Open Flashtool.
Get your phone to flashmode, make sure it is turned off, press down Volume DOWN button and connect USB cable.
In Flashtool, click the lightning button, pick Flashmode and choose the Xperia_2011_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file.
Let Flashtool finish.
Install stock firmware and kernel to your phone.
Remove USB cable from your phone and start your phone.
Try not to brick it again, less problems for you.

Okay, so i've played a bit with CWM recovery.
My device cannot have it's boodloader unlocked.
Yesterday, i accidentally flashed something that was for devices with bootloader unlocked and the phone didn't start after reboot.
If i press the power button it just vibrates once, but doesn't start.
If i put it in flash mode my pc tells me that the device cannot be recognized.(Device enumeration failed)
I want to flash it to stock firmware.
What can i do?

You soft-bricked your phone. I had also made this mistake when i first flashed the rom.
1. Download flashtool for xperia devices. http://androxyde.github.io/
2. Go to the folder where you installed flashtool. There you'll see a folder named - drivers.
3. Click on it and run the exe file.
4. In the driver installation wizard you'll see names of phone models. Check on xperia p, u sola and go then in same list scroll down and also check fastboot and flashtool drivers. Let drivers install (i recommend to turn off firewall and and antivirus for this).
5. Run the flashtool. Then press and hold vol down button and plug your phone to pc. Let flashtool detect your phone.
6. Then download and Flash the stock firmware. For that you need to copy ftf file to the folder called 'firmwares'. You can find that folder where you installed flashtool.
7. In flashtool click the thunder icon, select flashmode, select the ftf file you need to install, be sure to tick - wipe data, wipe apps, wide app log
8. then let flashtool flash the stock rom
9. Unlock the bootloader properly. For that note down your imei no. somewhere. Then on sony developer site request for bootloader unlock then you'll get a mail having a password. note it carefully.
10. click on 'unlock symbol' in flashtool and it will guide unlock your bootloader.
11. Press thanks if i helped.

You would've helped me if it wasn't for:
1. Phone is not starting up, just vibrating once. If plugged into computer gives "USB not recognized error"
Drivers are installed corectly, but after this brick, pc is not recognizing the phone.
2. I cannot unlock the bootloader, the phone is Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO, got it from Orange Romania carrier.
I am hoping my windows 8.1 desktop is at fault.
Trying on windows 8 laptop.
I will get back to you with results.
It was the pc with windows 8.1
So i flashed B89 firmware, but it seems to be non-rootable.
My sim is not detected either.
Any ideea what could be the problem?

If you are completely stock then dont worry just clear cache and dalvik and then power off your phone for 4-5 hours. Then your phone will able to detect sim card.

Flashed the B.1.89 as the phone said it's st25i.

Will wait for about 6 hours then put back battery and power it up.

Update: after more than 6 hours without battery, i've put in in then start phone..Still no signal.
Also, when my sim is plugged in it can't recognize the phone's IMEI or Baseband.
But, when i start it up without sim it does.
It can't search for networks either with sim in or without.
Any more fixes available??

yup. there are 3 ways to solve the problem,
1st you have to send it to service.
2nd if your bootloader is locked, you can repair your phone via pc companion.
3rd you have to take off the back cover (which results warranty void,) and find the service test point, connect it to pc via testpoint opened and use s1tools to flash new boot.img.
my phone was the same as your but tried rom port. corrupted boot file. it acted same as yours. tried everything BUT if its bl was locked, i could be able to repair with pc companion but my bl was unlocked so there were 2 options for me, i dont know where tp is so i sent it to service. its been 18 working days and 12 working days to left to retrieve my phone
you can try pc companion or tp point but i warn you. if you cant find test point, your warranty will be void. you shouldnt risk it and give it to service. and you should act like i did. just role play like you dont understand about phone. i acted like that and they said it will be done for free

try s1tools if it doesnt recognize again, download wmshua and let it install driver, then try again. if it doesnt recognize again, send it to service

Hi, where did you get the s1 tools? I keep finding versions from 2011 , which are obviously not working.
i dont remember where i downloaded it. but it worked for me but i didnt know where the point is.
it is a problem of flashtool
when i was using old flashtool then device was ok
when i upgrade flashtool to latest 0.9.22 then after successful flashing device is not getting power up
due to warranty sony care changed motherboard of my device
again i flashed ftf and phone was dead
itso it is a problem of flashtool
dont use latest flashtool
use 0.9.18 version
best of luck

I used my C5 with E5563_29.1.B.0.87_1296-9001_R4A firmware for 3 month until yesterday.
I rooted, have recovery installed and everything was just fine.
But It died when flashing E5563_29.1.B.0.101_1296-9001_R4A.ftf.
I used Flashtool 0.9.21.0 x64 and used xperifirm to download firmware
I have been flashed Sony devices for yearss and I didn't noticed anything wrong.
Battery was fine, Flashtool didn't report any errors for all downloading and flashing procedure.
But my C5 just hardbricked.
No flashmode, No fastboot, Charging animation and red led working but that's all.
When connect to PC it is recoginzed as "USB Serial Device (COM4)"
I can't find any possible way to recover hardbricked C5.
It is frustrating.

Yeah, too many people I have read on this forum have bricked their phones. No definite guide to do it properly either at the moment.

You don't need custom recovery for this mod to work, just replace the correct apk file and change the permissions to rw-r--r--
You should be rooted to replace the apk. Please read the instructions in the original post carefully.

How did u install recovery for c5..
Your phone stuck on flashmode( most mediatek with non removable batts).. Just simply charge it overnight using your wall charger( it won't charge anyway). When you wake up hopefully it's alive again...

I have removed and reconnected battery once So It can't be stuck on flashmode But I have no choice.
So I tried your way.
I have been charging my C5 just after I read your reply and it's charging until now but nothing happens.
It is clear that flashmode isn't the problem
i would like to get your dead phone...

No as this flashtool isn't official Sony software although it does download official Sony firmware. Sonys official software is called EMMA and only works on unlocked Bootloader devices
yes they are doing that. Mine is also dead wile upgrading using xperia companion
The same problem

It clearly states on the flashtool download page and on here on the flashtool page/thread NOT to use flashtool to flash c4+c5 mediatek powered Xperia devices as this will result in a hard brick I.e. You now have a permanent paperweight no idea why it is only those two mediatek Xperias as the xa works fine with flashtool.
Sent from my Xperia XA using XDA Labs
i have same problem but my led just turn on red with USB plugin nothing more no flashmode or fast mode , just please some one tell me how to fix it

Hey... I'm having the same trouble as you did .... It would be helpful for me to know . What did you do after that? Did you recovered your phone? Or just visited to the sony service center??? Please help me
My C5 Ultra is hard-bricked too. Is there any progress regarding recovering C5 Ultra?
