[Q] Downgrade to HC from ICS R5

[mawnstermew]

Hi basing from some post at condis tool it is possible to downgrade from present ICS to HC. Im having trouble with my touch panel and im hoping flashing back to HC would solve my problem.

Im stuck on wiping the phone after the 3rd dots last reboot. I dont get the timing. Im stuck on the sony logo for some time. Does that count as bootloop? And wiping the phone means facctory reset via recovery mode?

these info might be useful

installed pre root ICS then upgraded to rc5 by manual flashing of update files found at stifilz thread and rooted using the manual way. (would that affect ability to downgrade?

Forgot to mention, thought you had read it.... been posted a couple of times (by myself and others) Once R5 is installed the recovery is updated and we can no longer get adb shell in recovery, therfore AIO tool can not disable the update checker.... So we can NOT flash custom pre-rooted roms anymore

You can flash the original HC zip. And you can root 3.2.1R2 US using AIO tool.
