Just got the phone and no method so far is working
Did you try using flashtool? It claims to support the ion

I'm also interested in this as I'll be upgrading to the Ion this week. Hopefully someone will post the unbranded OS files to flash the Ion and get rid of AT&T's junk soon

The international generic firmware had already been posted. That should remove all the AT&T junk as well as giving the generic looks/themes for the Ion
any success?

Thanks lumin30
Both of you, bug Mobilicity for a stock image to restore your phone. lol. Wind won't give me one but maybe Mobilicity will.
I can get it to about 90% stock right now and I'm sure I'll get it almost there. The problem is this. To dump the stock phone, we need it rooted to gain access but the only way to get root on 2.3.6 with the latest patches, is to flash a rooted kernel, which is great but then prevents us from dumping the stock kernel. It's a catch 22. Need a hacked kernel to dump the kernel but flashing the hacked kernel erases the stock kernel. lol.
The package linked by lumin30 will get you rooted, and all the options from there are explained.
tnx

Hi,
I will check with mobilicity and see what i can do to get the files from there. I really doubt if they would do it for us.
Meanwhile i am trying to get the files from someone who has a official unlocked phone purchased which is carrier free.
He hasn't tampered with it yet.
let me see what he can do for us.
Thanks
Hey guys, have a generic CDMA sch-r760 and m looking for a custom kernel that includes cwm. I'm trying to get a recovery installed on this device in order to flash custom ROMs. Could really use the help because I know these phones don't get tackled much. I'm doing this for my cousin because I rooted his phone in high hopes I could upgrade him to jellybean like I did with a Samsung captivate last night. Any help?

Yea, that is still a dead thread. Well, dead due to the fact that everyone is talking to themselves and development is occurring.
My device is a HK version of XT910 and has flashed the device for the euro 4.1 rom.
Unfortunately it cannot search any 2g/3g signal and thus i wanna flash back the HK4.0 rom to repair the phone.
I heard it is not possible to do so as the bootloader has been upgraded which cannot be downgraded afterwards.
I know XDAs are one of the best developers for smartphone, so wanna find some support here.
Deep thanks if guidance can be provided for my case

Hi,
So I purchased an xperia Ion LTE 28at ATT UNLOCKED and ROOTED (The seller already rooted it)
I have never flashed a smartphone before but I'm very good with computers. Can anybody give me a guide or steps on how I can flash my phone from ICS to JB (Doesn't matter which version)
Thank You So Much!

I was thinking of buying a Xperia Z3 unlocked on eBay (D6616) for the 32GB storage. But since I don't want the T-mobile bloat it comes with, I was wondering If I could flash the D6603 firmware on the D6616 and get OTA.
Now, I only need 3G to work since I don't use LTE at all. Will flashing a firmware from a different model birck/break the device in any way.
I also would be interested in doing this
I experimented with this a bit using mine. I accidentally flashed a D6603 firmware(5.1 or some such) and it did not work, resulted in a soft brick that was recovered very quickly and easily. I also experimented with cyanogenmod 12, 13(non official), and ZyxxOS.
It may have been my issue, but cyanogen had issues with the sim card not being detected, and ZyxxOS completely corrupted my phone. You would have better luck rooting and uninstalling bloat, but the other official D6603 firmwares shouldn't break your phone irreparably, but I don't think any of them work.
Anyone willing to do more testing with this, trying different D6603 ROMs? How about the new official Marshmallow D6603 ROM? That would be awesome if we could get it installed on our D6616. Please help!

Don't ask others to flash stuff if you wont do it yourself, kinda mean
I wonder if this bootloader unlock is legit and works? D6616 is mentioned: http://xperia-z3-root.blogspot.com/
