[Firmware] Xperia S - Stock SG-Generic - 6.0.A.3.73 {1257-6921}

[LiveSquare]

I just packed up .73 Generic Singapore to an FTF, and Korumera was kind enough to host it in XDA Servers.

Download from: http://xdafileserver.nl/Sony (Ericsson)/

Filename: LT26i_6.0.A.3.73_SG_Generic.ftf
MD5: 9a58329f9d60ed7538d7c7ef9489e90e
Size: 498 MB (523,206,656 bytes)

NO ROOT REQUIRED, NO BOOTLOADER UNLOCK REQUIRED, WILL NOT VOID WARRANTY

You can flash this without losing any data!
If you uncheck the "wipe userdata" box in Flashtool before flashing, you will not lose any data. You can convert from any customization to this one without any problems!

To flash this, follow the following steps:

1. For starters, make sure you have Flashtool installed. If you have issues with Flashtool, make sure you also have PC Companion or Sony Update Service installed.
2. Download the .ftf file to your computer and place it in the Flashtool\Firmwares folder.
3. Open Flashtool and click the lightning bolt in the menu bar.
4. Select Flashmode and click OK
5. Select the right firmware in the left column (LT26i_6.0.A.3.73_SG_Generic.ftf).
6. Check or uncheck "Wipe User Data". If selected, all user data will be deleted. If you want to update or change customization without losing data, uncheck it.
7. Click OK and wait for the instruction to unplug the device, ...
8. Turn your phone OFF, and plug it in while keeping the volume down button pressed.
9. Follow the steps in the main window of Flashtool, wait until the flashing is done.

I've tested this on my device and works fine.

Note: I'm providing this as it is and I'm not responsible if something goes wrong! Flash it at your own risk!!

Nope. I'm not that advanced yet .
Please feel free to build the pre-rooted image.

May be you can send me a guide via PM .

Yes, but I would recommend to flash fully (without wipe of course) to avoid any incompatibility issues.

Do we follow the above method for unlocked bootloaders as well?

You can flash it on the boot loader unlocked phone as well. Shouldn't be an issue. But remember to flash the pre-rooted system.img file after that to regain the root.

Erm. Flashtool failed on "system" CRC check or something. My phone disconnected from USB and now all it says is "Sony" on the screen. Tried the volume up + power reboot cycle but it just now says "Sony" all the time.

Any tips?

Edit:

Here it is..

31/057/2012 22:57:03 - INFO - Flashing system.sin
31/057/2012 22:57:08 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0009";ERR_DYNAMIC="Block verification failed";

Tried to flash Generic UK version 3.67 and got the same error. Tried to flash without System it completes fine but I get the same boot problem. Halp!

Edit2: Rebooted my PC and tried again, worked first time! Weird...

Maybe download the ftf file again or try Lebanon customization firmware 73

Android USB drivers + adb is well known for giving problems in flashing ...

i have put the file (which it says is 15mb?) into the flashtools firmware folder (same place i put the .67 update) but when i load up flashtools and select the lighting bolt nothing appears there. What am i doing wrong?

thanks

i think there must have been a problem with the download as the file should be like 499mb so going to dry and download again.

 

[hpsauce37]

fixed it

all done...lets wait and see if this firmware is any better

 

[Cotte]
