Pre-rooted system.img of ICS 4.0.4 (.431) - Xperia Arc General

Hi
Here you have the pre-rooted system.img
WHAT IS IT?
It´s the system Folder of ICS 4.0.4 with "su" in "xbin" Folder and "SuperSU 0.94" in app folder.
GREAT! HOW CAN I USE IT?
Install via fastboot using:
Code:
fastboot flash system system_arcS_by_papayayoghurt.img
I COOL, WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD IT?
Here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?a92p5oocsfek6zo
MIRROR COMING IN 2 WEEKS!
ANY BAD THING?
Yes, sorry. It´s only for arc S(LT18). I will also work on arc(LT15), but it will show LT18 in Settings. I will make it for arc(LT15) in 2 weeks, after holidays.
Regards
Alexander aka "papayayoghurt"

Nobody interested?

thanks for your hard work but i think that flashing RootXperia.zip might be easier:silly:
but thanks anyway:good:

This is more for people who want to restore system partition e.g. because they deleted something, but don't want to loose root.

[ARC-S] 4.1.B.0.431 From Wotan

Hello, i got the arc-s 4.1.B.0.431 from wotan, this is philippin firmware. but i cannot decrypt to use with flash tool. I tried to repair with SUS/SPC, but it said there is no new firmware.
Any one can help me? So that we all got 4.1.B.0.431 update for arc-s. The firmware is very fast and smooth, and must be upgrade on your arc-s
Edit: can not root without unlock bootloader, but when i use fastboot and do something to root (blah blah blah), then flash stock kernel and the phone is not boot. Any solution?

[FTF] [Xperia Z] Stock German 10.1.A.1.434 unbranded

Hi guys,
because I have so much trouble with rooting, I created a FTF file with flashtool so I can flash back to stock faster.
And if someone needs the file, here is the download for you:
Google Drive Download
It`s working fine, because I tried it many times to get back from a failed rooting attempt!
It`s the German unbranded Version of the new 10.1.A.1.434
Just flash with flashtool.
Have fun!

It think this is not needed, because it`s only a update.
If you update via pc companion it will also don`t wipe data.

Before you start flashing anything make sure you have a fully charged phone
1 Download and install flashtool from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907
2.Make sure all drivers are installed for the XZ (you can also use flashtool to install drivers as shown in the pictures below)

}
3 Once you have installed Flashtool you need to place the ftf (ROM) in the "firmware" folder as you can see in the picture
4 Then start up Flashtool and make sure it's in "Flashmode" (see picture) and click "OK"
5 Now you should get this screen (see picture below)
6 After you have unticked the "DATA" and "CACHE" (or left it the way it is) you will see this screen (see picture below)
Once finish flashing unplug the USB cable and turn on your XZ
I hope that helps.

[MOD] LogoFlasher - flash bootlogos easily!

PREAMBLE
Ever wanted to change your bootlogo? In fact, that can be done by repacking the boot image with a bootlogo of your choice - however, lazy people like me prefer handy tools!
Remember I'm not responsible for anything and... feel free to share your favourite logos in this thread.
Compatible devices:
- Without any modifications: Sony Xperia Z and ZL
- Will probably work, but with resized bootlogos of course: Sony Xperia L, M, SP, ZR, Tab Z...?
INSTRUCTIONS
It's simple: This tool will replace the current bootlogo with one of your choice (by default, it will just use the "SONY" logo) - just open the zip, and replace the logo.rle file in the folder bootlogo with any .rle file of your choice (remember your new logo must be renamed to logo.rle afterwards).
The package can then be flashed using a normal recovery.
NOTA BENE: This package will only work on ROMs using combined ramdisk - this means it won't work on AOSP and Stock (without a custom kernel).

Intriguing.
Is it only for the XZ? Or can it be used on other devices?
My Z is LB and I don't want to go to the hassle of unlocking it. But my 2nd phone is UB....

What devices? As stated in the OP, this requires a combined ramdisk in order to work.
Good work! Finally I have logo I want without big brother!

Is it available elsewhere, or can You give a hint, where to put my own logo.rle ?
Can this method work on Z3C ?
Hi Olivier, I am playing with Xperia Z5 , succeded to change bootanimation and then decided to change logo boot splash screen , as original Sony logo is to bright white.
I reached to this old guide but the logoflasher link is dead. Would you please send a copy of your tool ,if you don't mind ?

Yes, I have flashed Oreo with Flashtool, and it works fine.
---------- Post added at 01:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------
I've found some problems now.
1.TWRP can't decrypt /data (both AndroPlus and AdrianDC version don't work)
2.rootkernel is not working, so Magisk can't patch boot.img, so I can't get root permission.

Why is it that TW and HK ROM still not having Oreo update? i have been waiting for 2 months now
I have xperia x performance sov33, would this firmware work on my model?
it's japanese model, by telco "AU"
I know this subforum is pretty much dead but 41.3.a.2.99 is out and fixed the alarm bug(randomly missing alarms) and adaptive brightness issues.
Also comes with march security patches so spectre should be patched.
Oh and that is back:
41.3.A.2.149 is out - should have june security patch
Any news on Oreo for HK?
