It looks more dificult than it is. But if you're afraid or you're not very fimiliar with windows and computers than don't do it.

- Download flashtool and update here http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Sony+%28Ericsson%29%2FSE+Xperia+S+%28LT26i%29%2FSTOCK+ROMS 

- Go to link above and go to GB folder. Download firmware you want. for example LT26I- CE1 or LT26I Generic NL or pre-rooted ones.

- Install flashtool and update.

- unzip firmware in "firmware" folder of flashtool. C:\Flashtool\firmware\

- run flashtool. press flash and choose right firmware like LT26I....CE1 for example

- press OK, follow instructions.

- connect youre phone while pressing volume down.

- when flash is done, unplug phone and press power button. Wait a few minutes.
