Is it possible to make a system image of the xperia v jb firmware for flashing in bootloader? I tried flashing via flashtool but the phone cannot stay in flash mode. I also tried flashing kernel then installing zip in recovery but i'll just boot into a image with an exclamation mark with a phone beside it. I'm currently on cm10.1 but i really want to go back to stock sony jb. If it is not possible to make img then is there any other way to put stock back into the phone?

Really? No one knows?

I am wondering why your phone wouldn't stay in flash mode.
Anyway, try to install using Supersport ROM.
Just to make sure: do you actually see an image which shows a triangle with a spanner and screwdriver in it? If so, then you might have to wait for a couple of hours for it to go away. I left it overnight and my battery monitoring widget shows that my V was down for a couple of hours, before booting up and going to the home screen.
Re: [Q] system.img for xperia v
You have to make a .ftf file and flash it.

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?
Re: [Q] system.img for xperia v
Thanks, I'll try when in have time to risk the phone. Anyway its not the sign youre talking about. Mines just an exclamation mark beside a phone. Fyi if it might help I was trying to flash the stock ftf when flash tool on mac crashed. I suspect a corruption in some partition used by the stock ROM as I can use any custom ROM but not stock based ROMs. Any ideas?

Ahh, no
But it will download the latest FW for you and then you can create a FTF file using the instructions from the all in one thread, then flash that.
If you have issues with flashmode then you mus wait for flashtool to tell you to go into flashmode first.
Also, you can flash a stock based rom from the dev section to go back to stock.

Ok, thanks I'll try the flash tool thing. And flashing stock roms is the thing that doesnt work, as I've said in the op

Yes, but it should work..can you try it again and if it fails can you post the log output from flashtool so we can see the error.
Also, which FTF file are you trying to flash, please provide the link.
Re: [Q] system.img for xperia v
Flashing the boot works, flashing the ROM in recovery works, but booting doesn't. It'll boot to the Sony boot screen with the 'Sony' word on it, then it'll go into the screen with an image of a phone and an exclamation mark. Then it'll reboot and do the same thing and so on. And the ftf is the stock jb ftf from the dev forum
Sent from my Xperia V using xda app-developers app
OK, which stock ftf are you flashing? Please provide the link. I want to know this because I find any ftf files in the dev section for the V.
Also, please post the output from flashtool when you flash the stock ftf.

So i tried again and flashtool aborted the flashing apparently, as seen in the log attached.
Change the name of the file to LT25i_9.1.A.0.490_Singapore.ftf

It happened to me as well when i tried to flash a ROM that should have a customer kernel and unlock bootloader (i have a stock kernel and locked bootloader, just for experimental purposes). Stock in SE logo. What i did is to flash my phone using SEUS and went back to stock rom.
same prob here ^^
hey guys!! facing a weird problem here.. a few days back I saw the call record option on Z forum & I thought I'll give it a shot on my ZL. My phone is rooted with a locked bootloader & CWM installed. While replacing the files for call record function, as soon as I pasted it in the system folders, my phone hit a reboot. I then tried the zip file instead in CWM but it reboot ed again halfway while booting... I thought maybe the feature isn't compatible and that's why it would be rebooting like this.. But now I realise that I try to update anything then the phone behaves the same. As soon as I give RW permission to ES file explorer it reboots. The worst of all, I was trying to install the .253 OTA update & even that couldn't install and I guess it's for the same reason.. Also whenever my phone boots up, it shows the that the phone is updating.. I need to rectify this.. any inputs guys? please help!!
I am indeed sorry to post it on Z forums but I had no other option as I was getting no support on this in ZL forums.. can anyone help pls?

also the icon disappearing thing happened on my previous firmware ( before i upgraded to 4.2.2, so in my first updrage after the firmware i backed up ) always when i turned my phone off , but then i just restored it each time from Titanium Backup, with restore App+Data, and i justed wonderd why this is happening...now when i try to restore it from Titanium Backup it stucks in the loading process..

Brother you cannot restore system apps from different version of android.
Nd to downgrade first download a ftf of your country and download flashtool and install it
Second- paste the ftf in fimewires folder of flashtool folder(c:\Flashtool\firmwares)
Third-open flashtool
Fourth-click lightning botton on the top left. And select flashmode.
Fifth-click the firmware on the left
Sixth-uncheck appslog,cache nd data on the right if downgrading(to prevent bootloop nd this wipes your internal storage)
Seventh-click flash nd wait for sometime till a box pops up saying connect in flashmode.so to connect in flashnode hold volume down and connect in pc nd then let the process finish.
After 5 min it will flash and you will see flashing finished.now you have successfully downgrades yoir fimeware...enjoy

im pretty much a noob so i have some questions..ftf is a firmware like jely bean 4.1.2? what firmware is 2 times below 4.2.2? where can i find an original sony xperia Z firmware like this (i live in germany if this is importand )? and if i downgrade to the firmware i made the backup what should i then do to proceed with an upgrade whithout having problems again? i mean should i erase first titanium backup and then downlaod it after i updated and then make a new backup or something like this? And was my prediction right of what the reason was that the calling app kept disapearing by rebooting my phone?

First of all bro ftf are firmware packages.and you can get any ftf in general section of xperia z forum but you need to search a bit.
Nd if you are using titanium backup,since 4.3 cannot be rooted for now, you meight need to flash a prerooted rom and then restore your apps/data from.TB..nd for contacts,measage you can use gcloud which can be found in playstore.

Bro it does not matter which country rom you are using,,nd for installation just flash the rom in custom recovery before that wipe everything data,cache nd dalvic cache nd after instillation power off your devuce ns flash the kernel from the ftf but before flashing once read the installation procedure of the rom.
