Downgrading problem...from ICS to gingerbread

[bogdann]

I think i did a big mistake...after updating to ICS and after a few days i realised tthis Operating sistem is "heavy" - battery drains faster, eats more ram, moves slowly...and so on.And i decided to go stock firmware. And...after a few sites readed how to flash your phone i downloaded to my pc Flashtool and after that i think i installed a ST18 firmware on my xperia active. I did a big mistake...now my phone doesn`t start and flashes black screen.

Neither sony pc companion or SUs doesn`t help now because my phone doesn`t start when i connect to usb and is not regognized....by the pc.

After that i downloaded the good soft and now the program flashtool can not install the good firmware...what should i do ? Please.

I`m in fog so much versions and numbers...

I want to ask you guys if that version that i posted up ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310292 ) is the good version for my phone that should install because i download it right now 261 mo...please.

ok, but what do you want to do? do you want to stay on GB and root your phone? do you want to stay on GB w/ the latest update? do you want to update to 4.0.4 ICS?

Changing the kernel ( with one more recent ) may obtain more signal on 3G or it is no change ?

[Uliwooly]

there isn't much change but there were reports that .42 had better battery life than .62

I have on my phone right now ICS version 4.1.B.0.431

I want to downgrade from ICS to stock gingerbread.

I think my phone is not rooted.I just use flashing metod to install these operating sistems.

so its GB without root then?

[bogdann]

I think so ... is there a problem on installing or what ?

[Uliwooly]

just use that ftf file (.42) and downgrade if you want to root just go to the XDA forum and look for super one click it's quite simple to use
