[ROM] Official Sony ICS 4.1.A.0.562 NCB Generic + ROOT [Update: 15.04.2012]

JJD809 · Apr 15, 2012

I have Flashtool version 0.7.0.0 but there is some confusion as to what options needs to be selected when flashing (Wipe User Data, Wipe Cache etc)

With the previous version of Flashtool there was that post of doomed151 with the three steps, but with this new version these three steps are not required. There are so many different posts on the forums with different ways and suggestions that it is difficult to keep track with what to do.

Also my phone is a LT15i arc but as I understand this LT18 .ftf firmware is fine for the LT15. Is this correct?

My phone has a unlocked bootloader (done by Jinx13) and is rooted using RootXperia.zip on LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.62 Generic Global World firmware

ok firstly make sure that you are on LATEST FLASHTOOL...

when u start flashtool the log window should read:

Code:

15/017/2012 20:17:23 - INFO  - Flashtool Version 0.7.0.0 built on 2012-04-14 11:34:01

once u verify the above make sure u download the NCB version of the FTF posted by Bin4ry in 1st post...

then select the FTF but be careful to CHECK the box titled "No Final Verification Check"

now u can successfully flash the ARC S (LT18) FW on ur ARC (LT15)

i have flashed with exactly this procedure on my ARC (LT15)

HUGE THANKS TO my friends Bin4ry and Androxyde to implement these changes so quickly!!!

JJD809 · Apr 15, 2012

Thanks DooMLoRD!!

You answered my question ONE MINUTE after I posted it!!!

doomed151 · Apr 15, 2012

So why exactly did the verification fail with ICS?

What options did you use?

I checked Wipe User Data, Wipe cache and No Final Verification on the updated Flashtool. Everything works perfectly. it is faster than Gingerbread minus supercharger. I am however experiencing overheating while on long calls. Dont know if it is due to the update or hotter weather today! Colder country mates, please confirm!

rkanwar · Apr 15, 2012

the thing is im doing exactly this and im still getting that error. i have an arc s

ZduneX25 · Apr 15, 2012

@doomed151 nothing, I tried two methods:
1) using old flashtool (having error)
2) using pcc (on nordic .62 with no errors)

I made nandroids of both and md5 sums were the same (for system.img)

moolash · Apr 15, 2012

just to make sure...

Ok folks, I have an LT15i, locked bootloader but rooted. (Hungarian T-Mobile, but it's debranded and with a generic firmware)
I have LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global fw flashed with flashtool already.

Can I flash this now with ease?

I understand I need Flashtool 0.7 and those steps according to doomed151's guide to solve the partitioning problem, right?

That's it?? Thanks

only for the people who cant flash ICS and got MAJOR error just dont try to go back to 2.3.3 firmware because 0% fuel gauge problem will occur.....

yes precisely!!!

there should be some BIG FAT WARNING regarding this..

USE ONLY THE LATEST .42 FIRMWARE WHICH IS ROOTABLE!!!

actually there is no need for downgrading the upgrading...

the Stock ICS FW is already ROOTABLE:

If I flashed using 0.6.9.1 flashtool, using the 3 step method poster here earlier, should I reflash using the new 0.7? Will I get proper partitions? Or is it the same thing?

@ Doom

An offtopic question to Doomlord.

I have a question regarding to CWM the Xperia version, after flashing to ICS failed the first time, i repaired my phone via SEUS to GB 0.42. Installed the CWM recovery, Now my Arc can't enter into recovery mode it just gets stuck on sony logo when i try to go into recovery mode, same with ICS. Dont know what to do, can you help me please ?

rkanwar · Apr 15, 2012

I cant flash anything with flashtool is it because of custom kernel?

Yes, we need to. Android doesn't work good with system files/settings made by previous Android version.

Rajhans · Apr 15, 2012

http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/ ???
