i want my xperia j to downgrade to 11.0.A.3.18 or 11.0.A.3.16 cuz my firmware is 11.0.A.7.5 and I'm facing problem with home screen "it's so slow not that smooth enough " i heard that the problem might be from the firmware version so if it's not so please another solution ... and i want a safe way of working ... also i want a way for backup my entire my current firmware so i can go back to it when any problem has happened
thnx a ton already :angel:
1.search and download ur desired firmware .ftf file.
2. root ur fone.
3.install cwm recovery
4.enter recovery and make backup.
5.flash the .ftf u downloaded earlier via flashtool.
these are the basic steps! if you dont get any step, use the "search" feature!
All the Best!!

Just flash boot.img that came with a ROM zip.
Extract it and take boot.img to firmware file. (use Flashtool for Xperia)
Make sure you use fastboot to flash the kernel.

Root and CWM for Xperia J Finally!
Thanks to srl3gx and Bin4ry for their awsome work!
and ME for taking risk!
Make sure u are in 11.0.A.3.28 or 11.0.A.3.18 firmware ALONE with Locked Bootloader..
This method Dosent Work on 11.0.A.7.5 Firmware! (working on it! )
for .28 firmware download from here and flash it
if u dont have a flash tool download it from here for windows and install drivers located in C:\Flashtool\drivers (choose all drivers)
since flash tool does not have xperia j drivers..u may hav flashing problem...for that
1.download and extract d ST26.zip ive uploaded
2.open flash tool
3.click devices>import
4.navigate to d file u've extracted
5.now xperia j driver is installed
u can now flash without problems
Now back to rooting...
Root first! thn apply CWM!
Steps for Rooting:
1.extract Root_J.zip
2.make sure 'usb debugging' is enabled in devolpment settings
3.double click Runme.bat file for windows users...runme.sh for linux users
4.wait for process to finish (mostly should work)
Steps for CWM:
1.extract CWM_J.zip
2.'usb debugging' on
3.double click 'install.bat' only for windows (linux not working! my bad..)
4.wait for it.....installed! close the shell program and switch off the phone..
Plug in charger or USB....the phone switches on....press up and down volume keys repeatedly when SONY logo flashes.....voila u get into CWM!
You need plugged in charger or USB to goto CWM! Else CWM wont Work!!
reboot to system and see if supersu is installed finish! ur phone is rooted and cwm is installed !!
CWM has little bugs ..but its a never mind stuff..
use arrow keys to navigate..power button to select and 'go back' option in cwm itself to go to previous options.
Comment if it worked for you...let others know!
Tested on my xperia J and Miro
Dont restore factory setting or else CWM will vanish...n u hav to reflash whole firmware again
for questions and problems ask srl3gx
HOPE I HELPED...hit thanks
Sorry for the last update! It Dindn't Work for many devices!
wow finally it arrived.
Anyone tried this already?

Followed your instructions on my Experia J. I have build 11.0.A.3.18 (UK on orange/EE). I decided against flashing to 3.28 and to try with 3.18, but to get the Flashtool working I did the following:
Once the ST26.zip file is extracted (using Winrar) I then have to open this extracted file again in WinRar to get the files that should live at C:\Flashtool\devices\ST26 (loader.sin etc.). I then had to copy the original file ST26.ftd to c:\Flashtool\devices. I enabled USB debugging in the Developer settings on the phone and Flashtool started working properly.
I was able to root and CWM the device as per your instructions on buiild 11.0.A.3.18. Cheers.
The major problem with this CWM method is that it's designed for the Tipo, so when you try to flash a zip made for jlo, it fails. I had to remove the assert from the top of the scrip to flash with this.
Thanks for trying on .18 firmware... I'll update d thread

Have you tried flashing a compiled ROM? It fails as the CWM thinks it's on a Tipo device.
Plus if you wipe your system partition, you lose CWM, it's not a good solution. I've posted a CWM as a boot.img in my CM10 thread

OK, plus this will work for people who cannot unlock their bootloader. But perhaps you should put a warning as some people may want to wipe their system partition before they restore a backup (which will work) but if they for what ever reason try to reboot the phone they will be lost and will have to restore via flashtool!
thanks for report...updatd
very good work thx!

I've updated my xperia j to firmware 11.0.A.7.5 and now i can't root it with this method...
Any help?
Yea im the same 11.0.A.7.5 cant you flash the phone with older firmware?
Okay i flashed that firmware from first page and now my phone is rooted thanks alot
If we can get ftf file of 11.0.A.7.5 firmware and flash it with Flashtool without wiping data (just wiping cache) maybe we don't loose root... but where can we found that ftf file???
Hello Guys.
my sister has got a xperia j. I updated it to jelly bean.
But now i see that rooting isnt possible without bootloader unlock.
So the question i would like to ask is:
it possible to downgrade the xperia j via flashtool to ics or will it brick?
Second thing. I would like to install cwm on it (there is a version for locked bootloaders) and flash paranoid rom.
Do i have to unlock the bootloader after this or can i just flash the rom with locked bootloader?
Thanks in advance
Odun96
i never brick my phone through flashing ftf and kernels....so go to general section and find stock.ftf rom for your j....then download flashtool (google it), connect your phone to flashmode (i think it is vol - and connent to your pc), select stock.ftf file to flash and flash it....after that if all will be ok your phone will boot after 10-15 minutes so be patient... if you have errors during flashing just post the image flashtool or the logcat... paranoid rom is for unlocked bootloaders because has a custom kernel...if you want a rom, go to install gimlo, paradox, ultrabeast etc...
Sent from my Xperia Tipo using xda app-developers app
If your sister is using it then I would suggest flashing the jb firmware. Coz its sorta best when compared to older stock ROMs...
If u wanna use it for your own benefit then unlock the boot loader, download the xperia j(Jlo) CM 10 FXP from freexperia project site...
Download gapps.zip for CM10
copy both the files to sdcard
then flash CM 10 kernel and then power on repeatedly press volume buttons you will enter into CWM in that select install zip from sdcard flash the CM 10 FXP.zip file
Flash gapps.zip
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvic cache
reboot
Phew !

Hi...
A new update is now available for Sony Xperia E C1505 device. The new software update is namely version 11.3.A.2.13.
Based on Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
This Root methode only for Unlocked Bootloader Device
* Tick on Unknown source (Go to setting-security)
* Tick on USB Debugging (Setting-dev options)
* Download flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/download.html)
* Download kernel+CWM for 11.3.A.0.47 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276943)
* Download SuperSU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053)
or you can download superuser (http://androidsu.com/superuser/) (but i prefer superSU)
* Extract kernel.sin (from 11.3.A.2.13) then make it to ftf file with flashtool
if you dont have any ftf you can download over here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409632) or download this kernel ftf (https://mega.co.nz/#!lQ4wWLjI)
Usage instructions
Flash kernel A.0.47 +cwm boot to fastboot with script :
Code:
fastboot flash boot <filename>.elf
or direct via flashtool (fastboot mode-select kernel to flash-reboot device into system)
Reboot and press Vol Up (you will enter CWM Recovery)
Flash zip SuperSU
Format cache and Wipe Dalvik then reboot
Turn off then boot to fastboot and flash again new kernel A.2.13
Reboot and Enjoy so you can throw every bloatware apk
Note :
if you come from another way rooted this new firmware, i suggestion you to flash again your firmware first then follow my instructions
No More Lag after root tested by me
Credit :
Thanks to androxyde n friends for Flashtool
Thanks to jjm34 for kernel A.0.47 +cwm
Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSU

Is up to you buddy
But I suggest you to upgrde new firmware cz sony has improved more features on xperia e
If you unlocked bootloader so dont use PCC or SUS to upgrade your firmware, you must be on locked bootloader then upgrade. Via PCC/SUS
Or stay unlocked then upgrade via flashtool
Enjoy
it shows..the devive must be rooted first...and ...please check the log level

If you are rooted, you can make a backup of the apps you like to have in custom rom using Titanium backup. Then you can install the apks (extract them titanium backup files) in your custom Rom. However, remember that this will not work unless the custom ROM supports it or the apks are standalone!
Good Luck!

one more question if I want to go back to stock android what I have to do I have original firmware files (.ftf) and boot.img in which order should I flash these files :angel:
you can flash ftf file directly via flashtool. usually ftf file already includes the stock kernel(boot.img).
but just to make sure you can first flash boot.img in fastboot mode and then ftf file in flashmode.
Happy flashing.
OK Thanks
