Just flash the latest ftf file with flashtool. Check the Dev forum for latest stock ROMs. If it's a R800i, the ROMs you want are probably Hong Kong Generic 4.0.2.A.0.58 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375678 or North America Generic 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.42 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326459

Yes, that's the downloads in those threads linked. Bare in mind this will wipe your device, so you'll want to do a backup first if you want to save anything

Hey just to let everyone know this method works perfect although lost root ?

[Q] Downgrade my arc s from ics to gingerbread.

I recently upgraded my arc s to ICS beta. Since it has no bluetooth wifi or the android market, i want to downgrade it back to Gingerbread. Can some one please help? ps. stupid me did not make any backup before upgrading..
Thank You.

Have you tried the Official ICS yet? Maybe it will resolve some of the issues you were having.
If you really want to downgrade though, all you have to do is flash the respective ftf file using flashtool. You'll find lots of guides/resources for this in the development section.

I dd not try the official. where can i find it? i installed beta only.
thank you.

if u are trying to say u need the .42 ftf then its in the same link, just scroll down and look for : 4.0.2.A.0.42
Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (2.3.4) (1254-2716)
india generic hardly matters as Central Europe i believe is the same as if u flash this via flash tools. then as the phone will start u will on top get the language "hindi" option aswell or india "english" .. you can root this, then update via wifi to .62 n u will still have root
if u have unlocked ur bootloader make sure u have locked it so u be able to update to .62 via wifi

You can download an official firmware from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314
And use flashtool to flash it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000012
A .ftf package always comes with stock kernel, you don't need to install them separately

Thanks for your help
I was search for the stock kernal for along time and didn't know it included in the ftf file
thanks again
:good:

Hello guys,
After updating My Acro S i have done this directly from SEUS ..
It's an .ftf file so Flash with Flash tools
For them who kept there BootLoader locker (as me) just chek "Exclude Kernel" in Flashtools
No Brand , From France
Download Link On Google Drive Mirror It, as you want
If it's help You, hit thanks

Pims83, exactly what is this file ?
I would like to unlock my Acro and flash a custom ROM but there does not seem to be any custom ROMs that are very stable so I'm curious as to what this file is ?
Cheers, LL13-

Hi,
Plz before posting search.
- Stock, means that is the original ROM from Sony
- No brand, means there no modification from any provider
- .FTF, this type of file can be flashed with flashtools
So with this Rom you can't unSimLock your phone you have just the original rom from sony
I hope that help you

Hey i am getting an acro s very soon and was on the forums checking here. There seems to be no roms that are being developed that is good for the phone. Xperia S roms can work but you won't get the memory card to function. From what i have heard the phone performs excellent with the stock sony rom. Acro s isn't sold everywhere in the world that is why we might not see much custom roms for it.

Actually you hav 2 rom that are fully working for XPERIA ACRO S :
STOCK LT26w 6.1.A.2.50 Modded by Pims 83 that work with locked bootloader
or
Erachter ROM v5.1 but you need an unlocked Bootloader
that all for now

Will this work on an Acro HD (SO-03D from Docomo)

Yes, but be careful about flashing the baseband, or you might not be able to get a signal (happend to me when I flashed a Taiwanese Ftf onto my Acro HD). Either exclude the baseband, or have an ftf of a Docomo rom handy, and flash just the baseband from that if it doesn't work.

I'll give it a go then.
Thanks

I've installed it, worked perfectly. Then I got the message there was an update, so I installed that as well, no more connection to my provider.
Luckily I had a Docomo firmware at hand, flashed the Docoma baseband and now everything works perfectly without the Japanese apps on it.
Thanks.

Since I flashed this ROM, I can no longer enter flash mode to load another ROM with flash tool (I push vol down while connecting to the USB, it just starts charging)

Odd, never had that problem. Did you start flash tool with the phone pluged into the USB, then turn it off and unplug the USB before turning the phone off?

I let flash tool running, unplugged the phone an powered it down

hi do you have jellybean stock FTF file?

[Q] Best rom/kernel for stock look?

I'm looking to sell my Arc S after plenty of good service.
I want to put a rom/kernel on it to give it a stock look. I've tried searching but I can't narrow it down to what I'm looking for.
Can anyone recommend anything to me please?

Install stock 4.0.2.A.0.62. Use Search to find it, should be a FTF file. Install Flashtool and flash the FTF file with it.
Make sure you get full ROM and not kernel only.
