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!

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.

i tried to root my sony ericsson xperia neo of android version 4.0.4 using different tools but i was unsuccessful where in the superuser app is not appearing..then i came to know their is a different procedure to root the 4.0.4 version phone..can anyone plse help me with this ...so that am planning to install CyanogenMod 10 on my phone .....
plse help me with the steps of how do i carry out this entire process untill i get cynogenmod 10 installed..
Try this Software!
If u r on any stock ROM try this software Eroot 1.3.4 (Google it and you will get dev hosted download link )
Connect your cell with MSC and Debugging ON and press root button. Your cell will be rooted in few minutes.
If you are not on stock ROM , then mostly all custom ROMs are pre-rooted . Even if they aren't search superuser.zip and flash via CWM your cell will be rooted in no time
If my solution was helpful, feel free to press Thanks button :fingers-crossed:
Watch this video i made maybe it would help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SYCZzuylVg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

HI All,
Recently got a replacement for my xperia Z, a Z1 ! I had KitKat on it which came with an annoying SD card problem (I guess you all know about this issue....) I flashed to 14.2.A.1.136 Jelly Bean and Rooted with TowelRoot. All good except that my SuperSU will not update its binaries....Access to SD read/write is all OK.
I would also like to be able to use a custom ROM, iHacker's look interesting and very useful but the process seems very long winded and I don't want to try it without SuperSU working properly.
I am not bothered with KITKAT so happy to stay with Jelly Bean if necessary.
Although I am able to Flash an FTF I am still a bit green with regard to android workings so simple directions would be muchly appreciated.
I hope anyone out there can help me
PS I found StorageCow but didnt know if any of the ftf files would help my problem, guess I need the last JB firmware....
Hi,
Me advice would be to read as much as you can and get a handle on everything, then follow the instructions to the letter. Also, here's a great guide for doing most things.... And you can ask questions here,
> Sony Xperia Z1 > Xperia Z1 General > Root, Backup TA, Unlock bootloader and more! The ultimate Xperia Z1 guide
Good luck!
Much appreciated KJ
Thank you. Thread closed.
