[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yhnlxndr:
Firstly, you need to root your phone. Only if your phone is rooted can you install CWM.

Secondly, just go through the first page of the android development page and you'll find an easy guide to do all this.

Yes. Radios and ROMs are two totally separate beasts. I've run the stock radio (F2) on JB just fine. In fact, I find F2 and G7 to be better in CM10 than the latest releases.

Well, if you go and download the thing from SonyDevelopers website and install it, you needto login, but Sony doesn't send a confirmation email...

Is there any interesting firmware on Emma public? Anyone had a look?
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I have not, I am actually at work and just threw this update up during lunch. I will take a look this weekend to see if there are anything new, unless of course someone beats me to it.
[Xperia Play General] poo-tang:
Cool. I can't check at the moment as the only play I have on me at moment is my locked boot one (couple unlocked ones back at home).

Can't belive no one has picked up on this as those beta's (belived to be betas as same firmware numbered/letter as first) ICS versions certified around December could (Small chance) be in Emma public as that's how the Xperia T got its Alpha JB from Sony.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I downloaded installed and the flashtool, only to learn you have to register to use it. I have registered but now have now have to wait for a confirmation email then I can use it. I will give it a spin soon as I get the email and when I can. It would be interesting if Sony's flashtool had the beta firmwares from Dec... but I really dont want to open that can of worms unless it actually works.
[Xperia Play General] someone755:
You don't have to register to use Emma. Actually, you shouldn't use that thing...

You have to copy some files into the instalation folder and then it'll work.

If you wait for that email, forget about it. It will never arrive.

See the 'official' tutorial on how to install.

I once had the same problem, waiting for over a month for that email...

Hope that helps :D
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
huh, ok. Thank you.

Edit - Dont know why I didnt see that, I read the instructions but I guess I just didnt see that part, anyways working now. I am at work but its a slow day perhaps I will run with it. Also, will I need to relock my bootloader to use this?

Edit 2: Can anyone explain what this means? I am rooted running DoomKernel. And EMMA is telling me I am locked...... see attached screenshot
[Xperia Play General] poo-tang:
1) You only need to register for internal Sony full Emma (flash prototypes, dev, and locked retail devices for Sony personal only so won't ever get confirmation. :(

2) Did you unlock via test point? If so that is why it's saying your locked as you still have all the drm's most likely :(

Not home for a few days but will see what's on there with my official unlocked R800i's

Lets hope some good news awaits but won't hold out hopes as this is Sony :(
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I am using a protoype R800at. And it came bootloader unlocked but I had to testpoint to remove the sim lock. I am going to guess I wont be able to use this tool......:(

Edit: Link of phone I own, second picture and zoom in you can see under battery it says Prototype not for retail, plus under the four front buttons it says Prototype not for sale and lists a series of numbers.

[Xperia Play General] poo-tang:
No most likely not, unless IF there is firmware and someone takes it and turns into FTF (Not sure if possible from Emma as mite not be a blob to convert) a Zip or a nandroid backup. :(
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
If someone can try the EMMA and see if there is anything it would be great for the community but I am really really not expecting anything from $ony. But still 2% of me is hopeful. I know at one point after they announced that there would be no ICS for the PLAY, which doesnt bother mer GB is best for gaming in my opinion, Sony mentioned they would release an apology firmware upgrade....... but again I am not going to hold them to it one year later.
[Xperia Play General] poo-tang:
Can't belive no one has checked yet? I still don't get back till after the weekend so can't see myself but thought people would of jumped on this as can see it being the only light in the tunnel for new firmware (possibility) maybe you should change thread title? Oh well :(

Well it is supposed to flash if you press the update now button (which it sounds like you are and its trying) maybe retry download and flash again from inside updater app could be a bad dl you got the first time. But it should save the zip to

General diagnostic steps:

1) Wipe cache and dalvik-cache

2) Check if problem is fixed

5) Flash RUU (if you're unlocked/rooted I don't recommend doing this just yet and let the kind people here diagnose further)

6) Check if problem is fixed

You could also try an alternate, third party sms app such as Handcent and set it to default. I can't guarantee it will work, but it's worth trying before wiping your data.

I definitely agree. Wiping /data is a pain.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] MaxFTW:
Hello guys! Sony has released a brand new flash tool for re-flashing stock firmwares to our Xperia devices. There's even no need to get ftf file with stock before, as the tool detects your device and downloads stock ROM for you.

Why I posted this here? To make developers' work easier and provide people simpler way to re-flash stock firmware. <---- STICKY THREAD REQUEST :)

What it exactly does:

Detects your device

Downloads the LATEST stock firmware for your device

Flashes the stock ROM

Requirements:

One of the supported devices

USB Cable

Unlocked device's bootloader (to unlock go HERE)

Supported devices:

Xperia arc S

Xperia arc

Xperia S

MORE SUPPORTED DEVICES SOON!

DOWNLOAD HERE!

OFFICIAL SONY ARTICLE

Here's how does the new tool work:

Easy way to downgrade...

I should have read the instructions more carefully before using this tool. I have been unable to upgrade my Arc S ever since I unlocked it and thought this was a simple solution. Unfortunately I didn't read the details before I pressed the button. The string 4.0.2.A.62 is the build number, not the Android version. Now I downgraded to 2.3.4 :(

Latest seems to be a bit off in this first version...

[Xperia Arc Android Development] sandroidnz01:
Well,now this will most definitely be handy for those new members with unlocked bootloaders and a quick fix to getting device working again if they are in trouble i. e. hung or bootloops etc.etc...

No more crying messages.

(Really gets on my nerve.Because its always stated beforehand about the risk if something goes wrong,they never read this or pretend not to understand)

Its a good customer support act by SONY.

So,they have not given upgrades to 2011 devices.But,maybe now,after seeing all the threads here something might change.

By the way,would this tool in anyway hinder existing flashtool by bin4ry/androxyde in any way?

Just curious.

no need to have id pass word

follow below steps

To install the flash tool, follow the steps below:

Download the Flash tool for Xperia devices.

Unzip the file you downloaded and place it somewhere on your computer.

In the unzipped folder, run Emma.exe. During the installation, make sure you remember the installation path:

Default path in Windows 64 bit is: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Emma\”

Default path in Windows 32 bit is: “C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Emma\”

Copy the Customization.ini file. You find it in the <Emma zip filename>.

Paste the Customization.ini file into the installation folder. The installation folder is the folder named Emma in the installation path examples on point 3.1 and 3.2 above.

Click Start > All programs > Sony Mobile > Emma (if you used the default installation path from step 3 above) to start the flash tool
