Guys!! I thought you were the best of community and can crack anything related with android smart phones! Its a disappointment that no one here is able to help with a stock ROM for xperia so-03D or even guide on how can it be procured. Its been 3 weeks already!! guess I should give up!
Hi, I need the original Xperia DOCOMO SO-03D ROM. I actually flashed it with Xperia S rom(UK and NL versions) and now I cant make any calls. I dont get the radio netwrok and the IMEI is missing. I need help to get the stock ROM so that I can try flashing it back to the original version. Plz help.Anyone!
Xperia Acro HD SO-03D firmware
me also
Search/Google for opensource SO-03D,that should bring you to sony‘s official github where u can download the raw kernel,driver,radio,and framework sources.
If we can get a dev to build the rom from scratch that would be orgasmic.
I have scoured every forum and thread(even those from .jp‘s)but could not for the life of me find anything with an .ftf extension for this phone.
I have mine locked to docomo and is still waiting for a real permanent unlock (sim/bl) as docomo is not an option for me to unlock it.(im from manila).
anyhow i could suggest a couple of things.first try to download se flashtool 8.0.0.5 as it has support for ion which i think is the intl version of this phone.maybe u can grab a kernel somewhere and flash it.
Second,looking at your unit without signal and imei,i thinking u‘ve messed up the chip configuration pretty badly.u‘d need to have it flashed via one of the many paid unlockers/flashers over the net,as soon as support for this phone is made available.
In the meantime, we wait for development for this phone to kick in. Chill!

google!
days of relentless google spamming about xperia 03D brought me here:

i hope this helps... if it doesn't ... google some more...

Dear tommyrumbler,
A million thanks for getting the file. i hope this fixes the issue. Ill try downloading once am home and will update. Not too sure if that will fix the IMEI number issue!
Truly appreciate your hardwork on this. You guys are cool!!
Regards
about your IMEI issue, im not sure if reflashing the entire .ftf file would rewrite the IMEI, as it lies on the lower hardware structure of the the device environment, chips/boards and all.
i've been waiting for an unlock on my unit since forever and i see ezsemc unlockers are now offering flash/unlock on this phone,i haven't jumped in yet as i'm awaiting testimonials first from those who would have their units unlocked. but the reflashing procedure from this online unlockers include rewriting IMEIs as part of their service. so fear not, the days have finally dawned on this device.(fingers-crossed).
anyhow, goodluck and pls update us once you get this fixed. who knows, your epic experience on this device might prove helpful one day .
GUYS!!
A quick update!! I used the ftf file with "simlock.ta" deleted with the old flash tool so far and I was getting that stupid error. A few minutes ago I downloaded the latest flashtool 8.0 by Bin4ry and androxyde and flashed my SO-03D again with simlock.ta still deleted and presto!!!! NO ERRORS!! IMEI is back, phone is back to normal as it was. i made a few calls and checked !!!
Do you think I should try flashing with the original ftf file as-is(without deleting "simlock.ta")? I dont want to mess up with the phone again ;o))
Very happy now as it saved atleast a 100 pounds in postage to n fro Japan ;o))
Thanks to EVERYONE in this post and I hope my experiment will help others too..
Verdict-"The original ftf file works!! use it with the latest flashtool"
Regards..
Great to know u got your phone back working.
Flash it with simlock.ta and your phone could end up simlocked to docomo.

If you just flash Acro S ROM on Acro HD SO-03D, you will lose signal and your IMEI code will be blank. These two models, while almost identical have different baseband module. So, when you flash Acro S ROM, you need to uncheck 'BASEBAND' item (in Flashtool), this will save you from troubles with blank IMEI and no connectivity.
If you already flashed Acro S ROM and has no connectivity, you can flash Acro HD SO-03D ROM on top of it, just uncheck ALL "WIPE" options and select only 'BASEBAND' to be flashed. This will restore connectivity and device IMEI code.
Sharing my painful experience and try to save your time.

Hello friends,
I'm new to this forum and also to Android phones just have a rough idea about it. Now I've just bought a new SE LWW and upgraded to Android 4.0.4 from 2.3.4 using Sony PC Companion. But when I opened bluetooth tab for the first and tried to change the Device name I was unable because I was not able to see any tab of "Change Device Name" (I've turned ON Bluetooth), so anyone can please explain me how can I change Bluetooth Device name?
And also What are the benefits of Rooting? Should I root my phone (I've fear of Bricking)? If yes how should I root my SE LWW Android-4.0.4? Also can I unroot my phone back? How? Also please give every detail in brief! Hope so the members will help me to the extent.
Thanks,
Charizard.
Somebody please help me!:crying::crying:
Try asking Google?? Or look around forums maybe even ask somone who is in the Sony forums they more likely to know

Don't try to root if warranty matters to you. Also remember that a failed rooting effort can brick your device. Rooting benefits are:
Installing root specific apps
Installing clockwork recovery mod
Changing OS and ROM of your device.

I have lww too my friend.
For rename Bluetooth in 4.0.4 you have to go to settings and Bluetooth and touch menu ( that's a touchable button near home button in down of you phone ) and now you can see : Rename my Device ! Enjoy !
.......
But about rooting.
You must downgrade ( by flashtools ) your phone to 2.3 and root it and now again upgrade to 4.0.4 and now you can root this phone.
You can root your phone by flashtools.
Download it ( flashtools )
You can install custom rom by it....
And do very things! And enjoy...

Thanks a lot saeed74 but i think I should not root!!!
That very not true..
U will void a warranty on a sony by unlocking the bootloader..as u got to do it officially and they have the info in their server. Rooting however, would not as they won't know if u ever did it. Just flash it with stock rom before sending it.
2011 Xperia has some limitations than can only be solve by root.
1)link2sd to solve the low internet memory
2)swap, to maybe help with the low ram
3)uninstalling bloatware
4) install 2012 Xperias apps like walkman
Xtra reason
1) stop seeing advertisement
2) use vpn to safe some data quota
3)
