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.

This is the mesage that gives flashtool to me when i want to downgrade from ICS to GB.

I tried 3 times...i think the soft i downloaded .62 is not for my phone and cannot be installed.

I was only 70MB free on hard disk when i tried to flash the old soft and maybe when "preparing files" there was not suficient space on the disk...i`ll try tonight to free more space and try again flashing.

it doesnt matter how many MB remaining... check wipe data and cache maybe try checking the "no final verification"... and yes try to redownload

Yes sorry for this time to answer. In my case the problemn solved in this mode.

Thanks to nolramb i downloaded from here ( http://www.mediafire.com/?3zm7iss0sid94wr ) the stock gingerbread for xperia active 4.0.2.A.0.42 ( sony ericsson firmware ) i flashed an every thing works super.

The signal on 3G is significant good instead of ICS ( In my case - ROMANIA )

The battery lasts 2 time more.

The ram is very ok i still have 200 M free all the time now.

The  phone is working with more speed.

Thanks a lot uliwooly,nolramb, x_activo for the time in this post.
