I got SGA with S5830BUKA7 Vodafone provider firmware. I went to samfirmware to get Gingerbread FW to update it and got confused with the following:
First check your firmware via our SamFIT and make sure you always use firmware files from your own region to prevent problems.
Does that means that I can only use S5830BUKC2 which is the latest FW from Vodafone?? Can i flash this phone with S5830XXKPH??
I am sorry if there is already an answer to this question in the forums, but i couldn't find it.
Thx in advance.
I flashed using KPH FW and it works

It's not yet out - best you can do for now is put the WORLD Generic on and then switch to UK when it comes out..
my phone recently deleted everything on it, such as kernal and so on. looking around i managed to get my phone to work again, but the stock software i am using is Korean, does any one know how to download a UK stock version of everything, that preferably is unlocked, or vodaphone, as i have been looking for ages, and cant find any, thanks

Sorry mate,bit busy.
Unzip file.No password needed.You will see a file that ends in tar.md5.Put this file in PDA in Odin and select START without selecting anything else.When flash is finished do a factory reset.
Done.
Hi to all,
i have my new xperia s (its great), anyway i already unlock the bootloader (thanks to DooMLoRD and Sony), now my question is how do i update my fone with 62 fw to 73 fw cause it seems that 73 fixes the battery problem?
is there anyone can also give me the link for the 73fw as well as its instructions?
also, once the ICS is release for xperia s is there no conflict once i updated my version to 73?
thanks in advance.
edit: nevermind about the link i found it
edit: thanks for everyone in this forum. now i have successfully updated my xperia s from .62 to .73 and now its rooted. and now il wait for the ICS
i do not know if i will install cfw but for now there is a huge improvement in battery. , maybe il stick to the pre-rooted fw and wait for the ICS before installing any CFW.
May I know how?
May I know that, how you upgraded your firmware from .62 to .73 since you have unlocked the bootloader?
Do you flash the pre-rooted firmware by yourself?
What is your ori generic fw? For me I really hard to find my own country fw...
Here it is

ive downloaded the orig ftf (for backup), you can choose whatever you like but i choose the sg ftf and the pre rooted firmware of sg.
first you need a flashtool

and then u need the ftf (orig and pre rooted)

and for the instructions on flashing the original firmware

Still stuck myself for decision...
Thank you for your info 1st. This give me a guide how to "ROOT" my SXS.
However, after flash in the .73 SG generic firmware, will I face problem while the official ICS update launch?
Is it at that time I will need to wait someone to pack the ftf and upload here then I just can update to ICS?
Haih, headache...
Also plan to use DoomKernel (Advanced Stock) to easily root the phone, dunno what problem will happen...

i thinks theres no problem on getting the ics update its just that the update that youre getting will be based on SG firmware.
yeah i think so too that once the ics is release they will upload here a ftf for it.
i'd tried the doomkernel (advanced stock) last week have no problem at all,
but im on a ROM now so i installed the doomkernel 04a, by the way im using
KAspeed ROM.
anyway if u flash the stock advanced kernel, you can always get back to stock by flashing the original kernel from the stock firmware.
Thank you again.
Well thank you again for the info.
I will try it in this few days, hehe.
btw, you used and using DoomKernel right.
If I flash back the original kernel from advanced kernel, will I lost root and the recovery?

im sure that you will loose recovery but about the root i dont know, if u flash the pre rooted firmware before the doomkernel and then go back to stock maybe the root will not disappear but im not sure havent tried.
Thank you.
Okay. Roughly I got the idea about it.
Now I try to root the firmware that I packed out. Still learning.
Still got long way for the ICS update yet. Haha
Thank you.

Thanks :laugh: its working. !! so i need to get a custom rom .. so i should just flash the kernel and Rom via CWM . ?:angel:
You should flash kernel by flashtool, try searching on Google to get more details.
And Flash Rom using cwm

Before flashing kernel, be sure that your bootloader is unlocked.
