I'm trying to flash stock firmware on my friend's xperia J, but failed. I tried all version available. And all of them just stuck at "Xperia" loading screen. I waited over an hour and it still there. So i'm guessing it not working. As usually it should boot up around 10mins. I can still flash other rom. Currently on Xperia Premium v3. My friend say it kinda slow sometimes, so i guess stock rom is better than this. I tried using PC Companion, suggested in youtube, but it failed too. Or there is other way switching back to stock rom without flashtool? Baseband version currently unknown. Also looking for other stable and smooth rom without serious bug, links is very much appreciated.
Or it just me doing it wrong?

Hello Everyone,
I am a new user of XDA and did much reading. I must be honest here, I have been reading quite a bit and love to do some crazy stuff with my Sony Xperia1
I actually had the stock rom for Xperia S which was really slow and problematic. I then loaded the Cyanogenmod 9.1 to try an resolve performance issues. Unfortunately, that was not to be and the system is very slow, unresponsive, and heats the phone up quite significantly even when it is not in use.
Now, when I was loading the Cyanogenmod, I had to copy over the boot.img file along with CWM. I noticed that the boot splash screen now showed "FreeXperia" instead of the regular SONY logo. Also, I was able to get into CWM by tapping the screen upon boot.
Anyhow, due to the poor performance of Cyanogenmod, I decided that I would try MIUI and when I installed, I tried to boot and the phone eventually showed the MIUI splash screen and got stuck on that.
Now, I am trying to get into CWM but that is no longer possible. I want to load another rom and is not working because i can not get into CWM.
Can someone advise to a work around to get back to stock rom so that i can start my hacks again??
Anyone!!??
Not sure if this works on a Sony but you can get it into download mode and flash stock through odin or hemidal

Nope that doesn't work on Sony!
Just Samsung recognizes Odin!
And as for the guy, did you flash the boot.img of cm while using cm Rom
But while you switched to miui
Did you flash back stock or stock based kernel?
As the cm kernel won't work on Miui Rom

Hey Guys,
today I was playing with my Xperia L, as it shut down because battery went empty.
It is unlocked and rooted and i installed the deodexed apps mod and vengeance kernel
i loaded it up and tried to switch it on but it didnt work - Bootloop.
I tried several things, started by flashing stock and repaired via sus (on my old phone that always worked, but XL has a different bootloader so whatever sus didnt start)
then i flashed the 5.0.A.1.31 file general cust. and didnt boot up.
then vengeance Kernel and the new rom and i just see it booted.
Now i wanna know if that shutdown could have caused that the system couldnt be loaded? kernel and else worked.

ps no unfortunately i cannot serve with any logs or similar...
fixed it by flashing the rom (vengeanceraptorx) and then teflashing this special ftf

[Q] Is there any way to get GSM network to work on cyanogen based Alien rom, in xperia j?
I just rooted my Xperia J 4.1.2 (.31) yesterday and went ahead with AVD which supposed to be based on stock xperia rom. But unfortunately its was a bit buggy. SystemUI.apk suddenly stops working and many apps kept crashing on me .. few other roms like slim were asking to be downgraded to ICS which i dont want to... then came Alien rom to my rescue. this rom is really clean not to mention the Acid Audio ENgine and stuff ...T____T I so badly want to keep this rom its ****ing perfect..!!! if only if the GSM would work, which while installing i didn't know that no cyanogenmod 10 based rom has GSM support !
Now i'm whining here because i just want someone more knowledgeable than me to give me the confirmation that that i have absolutely no other choice, other than going back to the AVD. LIke the GSM fix for the ICS baseband is there positively NOTHING out there for JB :crying:
You need to downgrade to ics first, then flash any cm10 based rom, or gsm.will not work.

just one more doubt...

getting out of alien rom and reinstalling AVD i screwd up and soft bricked my phone.
SO i had to use a pc to reflash the stock JB. BUt that has locked the bootloader again coz the PC companion can detect my phone again.
so just need to confirm certain things...
SO if i flash stock ICS then i will have to unlock my bootloader again right...? I presume i will have to root my phone too all over again... ? before installing the rom ?
PLease HELP!!!
Ok this is sooo irritating...!!! T____T
I flashed my phone with 4.0.4 ICS, st26i_11.0.a.3.18_global.ftf form Matej X's 4shared folder.
http://www.4shared.com/folder/25Mb7Dws/Xperia_J.html
the ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf from that folder when put into firmwares folder of flashtools, doesn't even show up !!!
i figured to root st26i_11.0.a.3.18_global.ftf from this guide http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033114&highlight=st26i+root+ics
but not inspite of downgrading to ics, when i installed MIUI5 rom i'm i'm getting no simcard ad hense GSM is not working all manually scanned networks are shown as "UNKNOWN" !
Now i have flashed back to stock ICS rom...
when i flast the stock rom using flashtool the simlock.ta file gets ignored. what's up with that, wherever i have read about its not supposed to be a issue...
Can someone help me this is really getting frustrating....
Can some one help me find the link for ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf ICS stock rom which will be detected by flashtool...
MIUI5 was really nice, I would like to use it. Its based on cyanogenmod10 fxp 226 ... My issue with that is i use the instruction here to install it, but its condusing.
https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/howto-install
It says "6.Wipe device
from cm9 device wipe is necessary only at first flash or when you switch cm version
!!! if after boot you experience ForceClose then is recomended to reboot to recovery and wipe device
7.Partition format
is not recomended to format your partitions unless you are advised to do otherwise"
Now in CWM what do i have to wipe...???
There are too many options to wipe....
1. wipe data/factory rest
2. wipe catch partition
Under advanced
Wipe delvic catch ...
Which and all am i supposed to wipe ?
Please bare with me guys i'm at my witt's end here...T____T
I just want one CM 10 based rom working for me... That's all ...
Here's the thing mate, AlienRom works perfectly fine for me. Just flash over stock ICS and Not JB and select Use 2G network on settings. Give it another try , oh and I highly discourage MIUI, it may look pretty but it is lag as hell. Browser takes sooo long to load and so lag

Hey Racer X,
I was thinking about the same thing... Alien rom is the only rom where i encoutered absolutely "0" lag, Brilliant work there man thanks a lot.
Would it be possible to flash it directly on rooted 11.0.a.3.18 ICS because i'm not able to root ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf with any tutorial here...
SO far i have tried this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071817
and the other option being flashing to stock 11.0.A.7.5 and using Unlockroot.exe
But windows won't even detect the exe file and Google chrome's calling it a malicious file and won't let me download it .
SO i have sort of hit a roadblock with 11.0.a.7.5
So i was hoping i can flash alien rom straight on rooted 11.0.a.3.18 ICS, which i rooted with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033114&highlight=st26i+root+ics
Omg...!!! I did it ... :d
OMG... I just went ahead and did it... this is sooo f****** AWWWWSOME...!!!
Now i have Alien rom with GSM WORKING !!!:good:
I didn't even go for 7.5 i just stuck with .18 and went to alien rom 4.1.2
BTW can i keep the cyanogenmod upates setting to weekly or should i keep it at manual/???
I don't want to loose the gms connection just coz it updated on its own ... ?
What do you think ?
I need some help.
I have a Sony Xperia Neo L MT25i which was flashed on stock. I flashed a boot.img and installed clockword mod. Wiped data/cache/system etc. I have downloaded and tried three different roms, all of them JB roms, with a JB kernel prior to using them. The kernels I use would be between the Lupus and Turbo kernels. No matter what rom I flash or whatever it is I wipe, when the phone boots up and gets to the lockscreen the screen is unresponsive. It feels like the there is no touchscreen on the phone, it just isn't working right. The hardware button works but the screen just fails on me. It feels like it is missing a driver for it to function (speaking in Windows sense ofcourse). I also forgot to mention I have already unlocked the bootloader. I also have tried flashing the boot.img through command prompt and flashtool with no difference.
Whenever I use flashtool and flash the phone back to stock everything works normally.
I have prior experience to flashing roms such as the Samsung Galaxy S 4G T-mobile and the Samsung Galaxy S3 International.
Appreciate any help XDA thanks!
Hello
I own an Xperia J with an unlocked bl and have flashed many roms on it. Yesterday, the phone started to not want to connect to the internet (mobile data not WiFi) so I found this curious and rebooted the phone and tried re-downloading internet settings but nothing fixed it. I factory reset the ROM (not the phone) but now I couldn't even make calls/texts as the phone was stating 'Emergency Calls Only' and after going through the phones first boot setup, a window popped up saying the phone could not connect to the SIM. In the end, I changed roms (running Doomsday ROM at the time of the error's start) but still the same issue. Tried CM, same issue. Now on stock JB and the problem still consists. I can't really afford a new phone at the current time and my Z1 is being borrowed by my dad. Any help would be much appreciated.

Try to flash first the ICS stock rom. Then flash custom rom.
