i present to you leaked Sony JellyBean Firmware 6.2.B.0.197 for the Xperia S (LT26i)... this will also work on the Xperia SL (LT26ii)...
this firmware was ment for developer (brown) devices but i was able to get it to boot on production devices...

- THIS IS AN LEAKED ROM
- FEW THINGS ARE EXPECTED NOT TO WORK
- THIS IS POSTED JUST SO THAT USERS CAN ENJOY THE UPCOMING FEATURES AND OTHER DEVS CAN HELP IN FIXING THE ISSUES
- MORE THINGS WILL FOLLOW AS AND WHEN I/OTHERS CAN GET THEM TO WORK
- DO NOT ASK FOR FURTHER UPDATES/ETA OF OFFICIAL RELEASE
- ALL USER DATA (from /data partition) WILL BE WIPED WHILE INSTALLING THIS
please backup all data, including SDCARD data before flashing this ROM
[ why has this been posted? ]
many devs can use the libs to improve existing/work-in-progress ROMs...
many themers can start porting to ROMs/devices...
many users will get a feel of whats in store for the JB update...
[ features ]
- Easy to flash update.zip via recovery
- Prerooted and busybox installed
- working CWM recovery is included in kernel
[ To enter recovery keep pressing VOLUME UP button AFTER u see the "PINK" LED at bootup (Sony logo) ]
[ whats not working? ]
you tell me!
please report other things as and when you find them
[ requirements ]
- unlocked bootloader
- previously on stock .55 ICS ROM or roms based on that [since some components of THIS rom contain files from those firmwares]
- supplied ROM
- any existing kernel with recovery or just extract the boot.img (contains inbuilt recovery) from the ROM i have uploaded and flash it using fastboot
[ how to install ]
- download the ROM and save it on SDCARD
- reboot device into recovery (make sure that the /system partition is unmounted, i have noticed that in some kernels the /system partition remains mounted)
- flash the ROMs update.zip (this will take some time)
- thats it now reboot device
- at first boot device will reboot once after bootanimation thats expected
- next boot will take a long time!!!
- it might happen that in after some reboots u get a "flashing firmware screen" thats ok.. let it complete... DO NOT DISTURB WHILE THAT PROCESS IS GOING ON!!!
- after a few reboots the ROM should stabilize!
- enjoy!
If you are getting Status 7 Error while flashing in recovery just extract the boot.img (contains inbuilt recovery) from the ROM i have uploaded and flash it using fastboot then enter ROM and flash it through recovery
