Hello ive run into a serious issue and have flashed a FTF of the xperia go st27i JELLYBEAN and ive lost the ability to use the internet now since the frequency is different. can anyone please post or send me the original st27A unlocked stock FTF. SuS wont even work for me anymore because of the mismatched firmware it just always says its up to date and when i try to hit repair it says theres no available firmware for my device.
i have also realized that my touchscreen is really laggy and takes several presses for it to work or to press letters in a text message.
Thankyou for your time and i hope someone can help me.

i think you can edit your "build.prop" file in "System/" with root explorer f.e to Sus recognize your phone to St25a & then repair with Sus
only you need the SI number & other from which you want to download ,

yes need root , anyway try to flash old frimware ( ICS ) , root & make changes in build.prop . I do not know what changes have to do exactly
but i think in this forum have a lot of info for do that , wait for other users or search , sorry mate
Edit : for flash St25i on st25a for example i think you can flash with flastool & tick "exclude Baseband" but i dont know 100% sure if all works well
Same problem here How can i edit the build prop to trick pc companion to do a repair?

Maybe this can help you.
Nonetheless, I really need this ftf as well, please, to the Developers, help us thanks.

Ok lets reopen this thread I need this ftf, to see if I'm able too fix a problem that appeared flashing some custom Rom in here, low (too low) volume on in calls. Dumb from my part I didn't make a backup ftf from my Stock Rom, so I want to rinstall the ftf that you can provide (The ICS luckily and specifically the U.S. Customization) using flash tool and then root to modify the build.prop (change SI numbers values), unroot and then see if, luckily (again) in able to get the PC Companion to repair by downloading the U.S. Stock Rom for the Xperia Advance. and see if the volume of in calls is fixed. Please devs, help me. Thanks

hm.. but update service will give him .62 not .42, right? or are you thinking on making prerooted image? hm now i got idea
@ prazadx: are you willing to do clean flash with pc companion or sony update service, then we'll instruct you how to make .62 .ftf, but it will be around 150MB after you zip it, wich you would need to upload..
then if your phone is sim-lock free your fastboot should be open, and it should accept prerooted .img.
even if your bootloader is locked i think it only matter for kernels.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong
its here mate
Just flash this with flashtool (extract using winzip or eqivalent first to get the ftf), root using flashtool, update OTR, install cmw and you are fine.

I'm gonna perform this flashing with flashtool. all i need is to downgrade my current firmware to .42, so that i can root my device. also this is a sim lock free device with a locked bootloader.
is there any other way to root without downgrading??
also, thanks mate..
There are another way to root but you need to unlock your bootloader, sorry I cant put links,but if you search right here in this Forum "unlock bootloader" you would see the options to do that.
Definitly this way is the only you have without unlockink bl. Thats all the peoplo say because I cant flash .42 on mine....flashtool stop always before 100% I will format pc...i dont know what other thing can be.
Any suggestion??

Here my step to root my mini pro SK17i, boot loader still same as when it buy..
When I bought it the phone is 2.3.4/4.0.2.A.0.62 and try out many ways from XDA. Yes it rooted but when I update firmware from OTA or pc... my phone back to early state that root are gone...
So I tried out many ways and found this one, try over 3 times to make sure and decide to post this guide.

step 1.
open flashtool then select flash ==> flash mode ==> select fw 4.0.2.A.0.58..
then check only exclude TA / FOTA / Baseband (only 3 choices) the others must not check..
then select [ok] to continue and wait for connect the SK17i
step 2.
Push your phone in to flash mode by....Turn off your phone..
Then press and hold [volume down] while you plug PC-USB, if you never install driver of flash mode the PC will install it...[please choose continue(ignore) to install, even no matter what happen]
step 3.
waiting around 5-6 minutes... untill all message said all finished..==> then disconnect the phone..
step 4.
turn on your phone..==> then set display to maximum timeout / and set develop USB debug...
step 5.
open (root v1.5) to root the phone
after phone restart....
Your phone SK17i are rooted ready and fw is 4.0.2.A.0.58..
then Backup every things while you are root user...
step 6.

He went back to a previous firmware, because .62 is unrootable and so the devices isn't like you have bought it, because the .ftf you flash isn't the same like the one on phone before
that kind of solution excludes AZERTY HW keyborad of the SK17i ? it seems that every custom rom every is design for US HW keyboard but i dont want to lose my keyconfig anymore by switching firmware,

Search for a french firmware ftf, maybe in development forum you could find one
Or you copy the keyprint.xml from your current rom, save it on your pc, flash a generic firmware and push the file back :good:

Sorry for bothering.
I was reading many texts on this forum and all over the net, and because I`m a newbie I`m still not sure if I`m right about this.
So this 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware is not rootable unless I downgrade right ? I have an xperia ray if that makes any difference.
So the only solution for me to root the phone is to flash the phone with an older version of gingerbread right ?
Thanks in advance.

I guess there's no .68 firmware. Only .58/.62/.69/
I would update; with an ota update (via wifi) you shouldn't loose root. To be on the safe side, download the local-prop script (how to root .431), run it on your current firmware, update, see if you have root, if not run push-root-files

Unlocked bootloader?
Then you cant use PCC because its unlocked.
It will say: Detected illegal software or sort like that.
Or is it just prerooted rom?
If its released i believe 100 people will upload it so people can upload it with flashtool.
Or if you really want to upload with PCC. You need to lock your bootloader.

Hi guys, As you all know ICS is being released, Apparently my SI no. hasn't got the update yet, I really am losing my patience and want to manually update to ICS using the French ST25i firmware.
Now, coming to my question. I want to manually Update my XU ST25i GB to ICS. I want to know how it is to be done, IN A NOOB FRIENDLY WAY .
A step by step method would really help guys. I'm aware that if I update this way, It technically isn't ROOTING. ( Right?? ) (I havent unlocked my Bootloader and I prefer to keep it that way coz of future updates from Sony) . And one more thing, If I do this, Will I be able to still get official updates from Sony? ( i.e From SUS or PCC ).
Please help a fellow member! :highfive:

Updates are region and/or provider dependant.
You can take your chances and flash generic world formware.

From the research I've done rooting my Xperia P is preferred to be done with the latest firmware which I don't have.

Like before you do anything with your phone, take a full backup with PC Companion, and backup other data it doesn't manually.
Then you will need to download and install flashtool, install the drivers for Xperia P, flash mode, and fastboot mode with the drivers installer from drivers directory under flashtool directory.
Find and download generic 6.2.A.1.100 firmware file and flash it.
Exclude TA when you flash.
I have my firmware uploaded here, it's a two part 7-Zip, archive.
You may look for others that are more sutable for your region.
To root 6.2.A.1.100 use DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.
My phone is acting really crazy and I can't do a backup with PC Companion, nor with the phone app for backup, but I don't care anymore.
I'll try everything you suggested and let you know if it worked.
Thanks a lot, you have been more than helpful. I really appreciate it.
